Live Halifax, spent this weekend (17th - 19th June 2011 in Southend on Sea. Went to Barnacles on Saturday 18th. There was 8 of us in our party and all I can say is 100% good food, 100% good service 100% friendly happy people who work there and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend and next time we are in Southend will be certain to go back.
