    The most fantastic atmosphere and service. Pub was decorated so tastefully for Christmas and the fires were super cosy! Food was delicious and the cocktails were spot on! I wish it was my local pub!

    I’ve been to the Candle light twice in December, the first visit was exceptional then second disappointing. It was New Years Eve lunch service, they were too busy, over subscribed, food fine, certainly better on previous visit. Having said that I would go back, my husband would not!
