Candlelight Inn

I loved everything about our visit to The Candlelight Inn. One of my favourite things to do is eat in high end/Michelin starred restaurants. Having worked in kitchens and front of house in restaurants, albeit many moons ago, I can't help but find fault, however the only fault I could find during our visit for a 3 hour romantic anniversary dinner was that the candle on our table burned out and wasn't replaced! The service from start to finish was attentive, welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for with beamed ceilings and a roaring fire in a rustic but gently sophisticated restaurant, and the food was nothing short of truely outstanding and wonderful. The Candlelight Inn is definitely in my top 5 dining experiences and I am already excited to return!

A mixed review Nice friendly staff in a well appointed bar / Restaurant A small concise menu offered a good balanced choice . The liver parfait was well made ,smooth and nicely garnished , perhaps a few shards of Maldon ,salt and a few sprigs of deep fried tarragon would lift it to another level . The scallop dish was excellent and the 2 year old at the table consumed them with relish , Main dishes were well presented and nicely seasoned The only dish to miss the mark was the rib eye , not enough sear to give any flavour and a little overcooked , The glass of Rioja could have benefited in the bottle being decanted as a great amount of sediment was discharged into the glass spoiling the wine

As always you can rely upon the Candlelight Inn to give you a superb experience, especially if you are wanting to celebrate a special occasion with good food and excellent wines ,which we were. All the staff were very welcoming but a special thank you to Michaela who was very efficient and went over and above to make sure our every need was met. A person of this calibre is very hard to come across in this day and age. Thank you for giving us a memorable day. Brian and Angela.

We have wanted to go to the Candlelight for a while and we’re just waiting for a special occasion, kids getting exam results gave us perfect excuse. We had a table is the new bar extension which is really nice, decoration is lovely, beautiful lighting and nice mixture of contemporary and traditional country pub. Menu had a good range of seasonal dishes, it isn’t cheap but for the quality there are some good value options and some menu choices for those less adventurous. Highlights were the duck breast and the harissa carrot but everything was absolutely faultless. We went for mains and desserts and my Crème brûlée was excellent. Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful and overall we had a really special evening. Will have to come back for A level results but might have to find another excuse before then.

Visited the Candlelight Inn three times last week. Thursday Night for a couple of drinks after the drive down from London, a few swift ones on Friday evening after work and then a full lunch on Saturday day time. All three experiences were top notch and could not fault anything. Bar service was extremely prompt and ensured we were never sitting with empty glasses. Staff were also a delight and very friendly. Décor is beautiful and cosy. Saturday, we were given the semi-private dining room as we had 2 young kids with us and this was perfect. Food was incredibly tasty and arrived quickly. We were dying to come back on Sunday for more if we had the time. So good was the experience that we then took our drinks outside afterwards to enjoy the stunning beer garden and all it has to offer. Will be my first point of call next time I am in the area. Big shout out to the 2 owners who we met on our first night who were extremely welcoming and ensured we enjoyed our time at the Candlelight Inn.

Lovely old pub with great thick brick walls and oak beams. Food was of a high standard but expensive for the remote location of this inn. There is not much choice within the (lunchtime) menu, so if you don't enjoy seafood, this may not be the place for you. The service was good, but take care where you sit as close to the service area / bar is not the quietest area. I was a little disappointed as I do love fish and seafood.

Staying nearby and spotted this place in the caravan site guide. Saw the head chef had been on great British menu and decided to partake in Sunday lunch. Superb starter just the right size and then an absolutely amazing sharing platter for the roasts. 3 meats and as much veg as I’ve even seen in a pub lunch. Definitely coming back before the trip ends.
