I’ve been coming to this pub for fifty years and it’s had its share of good and bad landlords but the current family really have made a difference. Visited last weekend and was very impressed with the food and drinks, not too expensive and the steak sandwich was lovely. They really mean business as
Amazing pub with a wonderful walk, delicious food, great beer and very dog friendly, our pooch had a bed to sleep on and was given a treat by the landlord! Three very happy customers and will definitely be returning! Had the steak and onion rustic sandwich and would definitely recommend!

Just spent the nicest evening at the Candlesticks. The room is clean and has everything you need. The dinner was superb, Nellio the owner was the nicest host, the food was amazing can not fault anything. Yes some people may not like the D.I.Y breakfast, for the price if it’s not for you just go
Good old "pub" with food available if you wish, good selection of beers with good prices. Huge garden in the middle of the countryside. In the process of installing pens for various animals. Car park needs sorting though. Will be a great pub in the summer months.

My Sisters Wedding yesterday. Good food and lovely staff. You must try it x
