  “I have visited Barnacles Restaurant for many years for special occasions, last night we went for my daughter’s 20th birthday, the whole experience was disappointing. We were seated downstairs in a small room which was very noisy. Food and drink ordered, starters came reasonably quickly but we waited a long time for mains, which were not worth the wait. Dry overcooked fish, the best thing we ate were the oysters. It’s a shame as this has always been one of my favourite local restaurants, I won’t be visiting again.”

  “The staff and atmosphere were excellent, very polite and very friendly. The food took a little longer than we thought but it was worth it, hot and very tasty. Would definitely recommend it.”

  “Went on a Sunday and had a roast and some seafood. The wait time was very long (90 mins for our mains to come out?) and the food itself was quite disappointing. Starter with camembert had very chewy stale bread. The roast dinner had genuinely quite bad potatoes (soft/chewy skin, not crispy), came with a lot of meat that was a bit dry, Yorkshire pudding was large but very dry. Definitely not worth the price (£20+).”

  “Absolutely shocking. My family and I dined there for the first time a few months ago and were very disappointed. Giving it the benefit of the doubt we attended last night. Again, the service was shocking! Waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food to arrive, food arrived cold and extremely dry. Not worth the prices they charge. Wouldn’t recommend at all.”

  “Took my partner here for her birthday. Food was nice . Service was also very good. If I had to critique it. Then it would be that it would benefit from fly zappers in the conservatory area. I was constantly waffing flies away from the food.”

  “It took a 45 minutes to end up on my table. Then another 35 minutes to get main course 2 plates. It was cold the sea bass was dry. It was very bad. Not going again.”

  “The food wasn't particularly good. The salmon and avocado salad came without any avocado and when I told them about this the waitress arrived with one smallish piece of avocado. The salad wasn't really a salad it was a pile of leaves. The fish in the battery fish was a bit on the grey side and the peas had clearly been under a hot light as they were dried out. Won't be going back.”
