Barnacles Restaurant & Bar Bistro in Rugby

Absolutely fantastic place to go for excellent food. The staff are brilliant, very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Good selection of wines and cocktails too. We also went over to their heated marquee across from the restaurant and had drinks and live music afterwards. Not cheap place to visit but well worth it.

Service ok, friendly staff. A little expensive for what it is. Item on the menu was different to what came out and the excuse was that they were trialing new things? Or customers preferred it this way? Or they just decided to change the way they served it? Not sure what the reason was in the end. Just a sorry we messed up would’ve been better. Was taken off the bill after we had to ask… shouldn’t have had to ask. Beef was really good, dessert nice. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals too.

I've been here a few times now and I don't think I've ever had a bad meal, and this time was no different!When we arrived it was very busy, definitely wise to book to avoid disappointment. We had a beer in the bar downstairs and then after a short while were taken to our table. If you haven't been before the décor is lovely, fairly classic with a subtle nautical vibe, what with it being called Barnacles.To start I had Pan fried garlic & chili prawns, which came with some fresh crusty bread, perfect serving and absolutely delicious. Main I went for the Monkfish wrapped in pancetta, which came with a white bean & mussel cassoulet served with purple spouting broccoli which was sublime, full flavours and tasted really fresh. We also shared a side of green beans and new potatoes, which were both delicious.We decided to push the boat out (groan) and have a pudding too - Salted Caramel cheesecake with Chantilly cream & honey comb pieces and it was a great finale to an excellent meal

A really positive experience here on a very busy Saturday night. The service was truly excellent and the food was of a similar very high quality. My 10oz rump steak was cooked to perfection and the lamb dish received a resounding high compliment from my wife. It isn't cheap at Barnacles but it really is good value for the quality of food on offer. Highly recommended on all counts...

Not the easiest place to find as the given post code takes you to the wrong side of the motorway! If using Google maps enter the restaurant Name to find it.Once found it is a presentable place but rather dark inside. Better in the decked extension.Service is good but not a very extensive menu. Starters are ridiculously expensive but good. The fish sharing platter for two at £22 is a good taster for a table of four.Main courses a bit small and average quality not deserving the high price tag. Well presented though.

Fabulous place to visit especially for a special occasion. Service is really good, very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Food came quickly and the lobster thermidor lived up to expectations. Good selection of wines and cocktails too. We also went over to their heated marquee across from the restaurant and had drinks and live music afterwards. Not cheap place to visit but well worth it.

5 Star well deserved & fabulous attentive staff. If you're ever in the area, beautiful delicious food at a reasonable price, a great Wine 🍷 & Gin List 🍸went down a treat & filling 😋

Local to us but worth any travel to experience too! We love Barnacles and enjoy going as a date night or entertaining family who live further away. Highly recommend
