Barnacle Bill

I would go to this Barnacle Bill’s for lunch runs at work on take away day sometimes. Usually it was easier to ring and order and y the time I got there it was ready but I never found the wait long at lunchtimes. Bit different in the dinner rush.
There’s very limited parking out the front but there is more parking out the back of the shop as well.
Their chips are the best — and fortunately every meal comes with chips. Every meal also comes with tartare sauce as standard. So no paying extra for a tiny little sachet style amount. They actually put rather large round containers full of the stuff inside your boxed meal. And best thing about it apart from it’s free, you always have enough. Not like the sachets other places have where you have to buy 4 to have enough.
I’ve always had great service, good tasty food the way I expect it, crispy crumbing on perfectly cooked meals (not in love with fish myself but can’t go past their chickettes — yum! big time yum!). And check out some of the most amazing desserts in this place. Huge slices of a great selection of cakes.

So who exactly is Barnacle Bill? I’m pretty sure he fits into none of the above categories, but one thing is for sure, his food is delicious, and by the looks of his figure, Mr Bill Barnacle himself must eat a lot of fried fish.
I prefer the crumbed option, as apposed to battered, and the prawns are absolutely delicious. Go the Treasure Chest, take it home and wash it down with a bottle of white wine.
I took this combo to the beach, and would have to say it was close to perfection, had it not been for the sand… and the seagulls… and the weather being shit… and the fact I had a yeast infection. But all of this aside, it was close to heaven. Next time I’m taking the picnic option for sure (with topical cream for the yeast).
Service isn’t instant, but they cook your meals to order, so it is guaranteed fresh and delicious. I know this for a fact, after ordering a small chips one time, and still waiting as long as the other customers who ordered meals that would feed 4 families. The cooking oil is changed regularly as well, so they always come out golden brown (from the deep fryer I mean).
Support the Barnacle guy, that supports you!
