Quirky village pub. Dogs allowed makes it a ideal location to chill with good beer and food

Fabulous traditional pub, led by family with great food at a great price. I went with some friends on a Sunday lunch, and although we were among the first there...

The Candlestick Pub, a beloved local haunt, continues to draw patrons with its charming ambiance and great drinks. However, recent visits reveal a decline in food quality and service consistency. Diners report expensive dishes that fail to impress, coupled with understaffing during busy periods, leading to frustrating dining experiences. While some guests enjoy pleasant lunches and delectable Sunday roasts, others find the menu limited and service lacking. Despite these hurdles, the charming atmosphere and the potential for outstanding service keep visitors hopeful for future improvements. Overall, the Candlestick remains a mixed bag, appealing for drinks but requiring attention to its culinary offerings.

The Candlestick is a beautiful hidden gem, that you want to shout about, yet not change. Love this place.
