Valentino’s
If you're strolling down Halliwell Road in Bolton and craving something hearty, cheesy, and just the right amount of indulgent, Valentino’s at 288 Halliwell Rd is where your hunger might just meet its match. This local favorite is known not only for its late-night availability and halal-friendly bites, but also for being a go-to spot for dinner and solo dining alike. It's not trying to be posh or pretentious - it’s just real, filling, and absolutely packed with flavor.
One of the biggest talking points at Valentino’s is the Mega Kebab Box. And “mega” isn’t just for show - this beast of a box is piled high with juicy meat, chips, salad, and sauces that’ll make your tastebuds sit up and pay attention. It’s the kind of meal you order when you’ve skipped lunch and want something that can carry you straight through to breakfast.
Looking for something to munch on before the main feast? That’s where Chilli Cheese Bites and Mozzarella Sticks come into play. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside - they bring that golden crunch followed by a molten cheese explosion, perfect for sharing or selfish snacking. The mozzarella sticks, especially, tend to disappear fast, so order extra if you're feeling generous. Or not.
If you’re someone who believes garlic bread should be its own food group, you’ll appreciate their Garlic Bread with Cheese. It’s soft, buttery, and the melted cheese layer clings lovingly to each bite - the kind of comfort food you didn't know you needed. Add a side of 8pcs Onion Rings, and you've got yourself a full starter set that covers crunch, spice, and oozy satisfaction.
Now, let’s talk vibes. Valentino’s isn’t a sit-down, wine-and-cloth-napkin place. It’s built for takeaway legends, delivery regulars, and people who love a quick bite that hits hard after a long day. The vibe is very much “in and out with a feast in hand,” which makes it popular with solo diners and anyone hunting for a no-fuss, big-flavor dinner. Plus, the team makes sure halal diners have tasty options that don’t feel like afterthoughts - the kind of inclusive menu that draws repeat customers.
Being open late means Valentino’s has become a Bolton fallback when other places have closed shop. You know that moment when it’s 10 PM and you suddenly want something loaded, warm, and saucy? This is the place that answers the call. Whether you're finishing work late or need something substantial to soak up the night, it doesn’t disappoint.
They’ve kept things simple - no unnecessary frills, just a focus on small plates packed with flavor, generous portions, and reliable quality. The presence of essentials like clean toilets, easy ordering for delivery, and efficient takeaway service speaks to the convenience-first mindset.
For those in the area, it’s hard not to notice the steady stream of regulars popping in for their fix. It's not just about feeding hunger - it’s about Valentino’s knowing what their customers want, serving it hot, and doing it consistently. So whether you're here for the chilli cheese kick, the cheesy bread pull, or the mighty kebab box showdown, you’re probably going to leave satisfied, maybe even planning your next order before you finish the last bite.

I’ve tried a few places for kebabs, but Valentino’s really stands out. The Chicken Tikka Kebab is flavorful, and the sauces are just perfect. The evening crowd is lively, and I love the combo meals they offer, especially the Valentino's Special Kebab with a soda. Great value!

I’ve been to Valentino's a few times, and it never disappoints. The Donner Kebab is always fresh, juicy, and satisfying. Pair it with a can of soda, and it’s the perfect meal. It's the kind of place that’s always buzzing in the evening, which adds to the fun atmosphere.
