Candlelight Inn

Warm, friendly and welcoming staff that couldn't have been any more attentive. Food Lovely and not slow in coming out either. Only downside for me is that I would have liked alternative potato options but other than that I could not fault it and will definitely be going back.

Rather disappointing. Rather pricey for what is essential Pub food. Strongly suggest you ask chef to provide thin chips (French fries) rather than, or as alternative, to soggy English chips.

Limited wine list...... limited essentially to new world wines.

Empty apero glasses remained on dining table until I had to ask for them to be removed. Not a lot of space on table for 2.

Everyone kept tripping over a dog in the walkway between 2 tables. No problem with dogs in pub but servers should have told owners to relocate the dog to another position .

I've used this lovely pub several times and it never fails to impress me and my friends/family. Great atmosphere with lovely log fires relax you before being entertained with delicious food and wines/ beers.

Excellent lunch as ever. Friendly service and great food.

Excellent sunday lunch and great value for money. Delicious!

I haven't eaten better beef anywhere, it was excellent, the decor very pleasant, the staff efficient and friendly, my only criticism was the choice of vegetables, I do love vegetables and as I am very well travelled I have dined in many countries but I never did work out what one certain vegetable was, it looked like rhubarb, I tried it as I don't like being beaten, I found it tough and had to leave it.

Went for a first date and she enjoyed the ambience and the great food 😊 thank you to all at the candlelight Inn for your hospitality and friendly service. I'll be sure to book up in the future, hopefully with the same girl haha

Fantastic country pub, always a friendly atmosphere and the food is fab!

We really like the ambience of this restaurant and despite our table being surrounded by families with young children, we had a lovely social time with our friends.

The wine was excellent and the food in general was good but the lamb and beef in our main course was cold. I love sprouts, and we always have our vegetables 'al dente', but unfortunately ours were as close to raw as they could manage.

We could have complained but that often ruins the overall success of the meal. We still like the place and would go again but it is hard to erase a negative memory. More effort is needed with the overall quality and particularly with the presentation of the food.

Lovely surroundings , excellent meal but very expensive especially the desserts

My friends and I had a lovely time there, the food was delicious well presented, very attentive staff over all great experience.

Had a brilliant 60th Birthday. Food great,very good value. Food caters for most tastes. Warm cosy feel with very friendly staff . Wish we had. Pub like this near us.... give this pub a try you will definitely not be disappointed what a gem!!!!

Amazing staff and food

As always our visit to The Candlelight was delightful with an innovative menu and fine wines.
This pub doesn't stand still!
See you soon :)

Excellent as usual, Mike is a superb host and the food delicious

Always have good time- food exceptional usually, but Sunday lunch Vegas were over cooked and rather meagre!! You were exceptionally busy though, and everything else was really good.

Excellent Gastro pub perfect for special occasions

We have eaten several times at Candlelight. In this part of Somerset there is not much choice and it is nice to have a good foody destination close at hand. The menu is varied and caters for most tastes. The food is good but fairly pricey - a two course dinner for 4 with a drink each, plus tip, came to £140. The service is good and ambience is cosy and comfortable

Pretty hard to write a review about one of my favourite restaurants in the West Country. Food always excellent, ambience superb, owner Mike a real gentleman. Will be celebrating my birthday there next week.

Disappointing. Food was beautifully presented and we were expecting it to taste better. We started off with the cod bites and stilton parfait, the parfait was nice but the cod bites were very chewy and cold. Main courses were pretty solid, I had the venison which was served a little rare for my liking but otherwise had good flavour, my wife had the polenta which was exceptional. Not sure how they cooked their cabbage but we both agreed it was some of the best we had tasted. Dessert was unfortunately another let down though, my wife had the poached pear which itself was nice but was overly covered in a very bitter chocolate sauce which completely hid the flavour of the pear, I had the treacle tart which honestly tasted more like pumpkin pie since it was very bland with no taste of treacle whatsoever, the marmalade it was served with was nice however. Service was rather slow, we were waiting around 20m after we had finished our meal for the bill and in the end I went up to the bar to get it myself. The house red wine was excellent and if the starters and desserts had been on par with the main courses we would have been a lot happier with the experience. Was not too impressed to find a dog in the restaurant area either, in the bar is fine but they shouldn’t be allowed where food is served. Overall the price of the food just didn’t match the quality.

Lovely lunch. Starter of cod cheeks excellent. Venison sausages superb. Service friendly and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit in December.

Lovely local gastro pub which we visited 3 times in one week. Once as a couple and twice with friends. A lovely ambience with lit candles and a small but varied menu with local ingredients.

My second visit. Not disappointed. Delightful all round.

Fabulous pub and food. Busy Saturday night bit slow taking our food order after our drink order.
Loved our meal and will recommend and we will go back and try a Sunday roast.

We live locally and visit fairly often. The Candlelight is always excellent but on this occasion it surpassed itself. The new menu came out only a few days ago and it is a treat. Highly recommended.

Always GREAT!
Never disappoints.
on all fronts, ie friendly staff, great tasting food, that is also well presented.

Lovely food. Mains were fab. One starter was a little small, literally two mouthfuls; albeit great flavours. Good service. Great decor. Will go again

Lovely meal, just the ticket. Food excellent and service great too

Excellent as always - have been on a number of occasions and have always been delighted with our meal- service and ambiance.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Good atmosphere and generally a very enjoyable time

An excellent find!

Food was very good quality and excellent value. Wine was a bit pricey though, although it was a very good NZ Pinot Noir! Thanks for a great night.

Lovely birthday meal and excellent service and warm welcome - would definitely return and recommend

This is a pub with a difference, even in a market where the pub dining standard has been set very high.

We have eaten at some very good gastro pubs across the UK and the Candlelight Inn can definitely take its place amongst this select group. The dining area is simple and unfussy with a nice ambience. The staff are cheerful, polite and seem like the enjoy working there. The food is superb, too; fresh and tasty regional ingredients prepared and presented creatively. We loved our meal at the Candlelight and would highly recommend it. Try their very own Beau gin too!

The food was some of the best I have eaten. The tastes and the aunthenticity ( listed produce and suppliers ) were fantastic.

Lovely lunch as always but extra special on this particular visit!

Excellent all round. Great pub with great atmosphere and superb beers and food.

Brilliant food, great wine and great service what more could you want!

Attentive,cheerful ,very helpful and positive staff. Menu choices a little limited but meals well presented and tasty . Only disappointment was having to wait some ten minutes for dessert and having to ask the waitress if it was coming. Overall the food is very good and definitely a place to go if you are in the area .

There were 4 of us and 2 had the braised lamb shoulder which was dry. I had a fish special which was delicious and the 4th person had stuffed chicken which looked dry. Maybe they had an “off” night. We would try again.

We have eaten at the Candlelight several times now and have never been disappointed.
