Beautiful food. Lovely staff. Very dog friendly! We will be returning for sure :)
The Candlelight never fails to deliver, even in the tough times of the pandemic the staff make a visit special. It was my partner’s birthday and The Candlelight has become our favourite place to go for a meal. They are renovating/extending to increase their appeal even further which is fantastic news. Happy Christmas to all at the Candlelight, we will be back soon.
Great meal, wonderful service. Very covid safe. Will definitely be back
The Candelight has become our favourite place to dine. Lovely atmosphere, delightful owners and amazing food.
A gem of a pub, a warm welcome, fantastic food and excellent service every time we go there.
Room was a little drafty, if you’re are sat near the door.
The main was a little disappointing in terms of portion size. The rest was fine.
We had the goose for mains, which was delicious.
Very friendly and service minded staff.
Ambience was really good, especially when it was enhanced by the power cut and the place was lit by candles only 😊
Perfect as ever. Love the new cocktails. Great choice of food.
Lovely meal in December, friendly and festive atmosphere
Thank you for a lovely lunch, gorgeous pud, divine wine, roaring Christmas fire to sit beside x Good therapy!
Great food, lovely environment. Friendly staff. Need to book another table soon.
Delicious soup and excellent sandwiches. Perfect place for a rest on the long drive home from Cornwall as so close to the a303
We had a lovely roast here, food was excellent and enjoyed sat next to the fire. Was very quiet but cosy - beautiful pub. Service was quite slow when we wanted to pay the bill but it wasn’t an issue as we weren’t in a rush. Would definitely recommend.
We love the candlelight inn.
Safe distancing &
Plenty of space
Fabulous food and great wine and beer
Looking forward to visiting the new room .

Lovely meal: elegant, tasty and very enjoyable. Totally Covid safe. Thank you.
great! we would very much recommend to friends and family.
new room is looking lovely, too!
Delicious fish lunch and great salmon starter .
Highly recommended
It's our local & we like to go there. Would have liked Plat du Jour but not on offer in December although given as Menu on Open Table.
Great Sunday lunch, staff were very friendly and pub had a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit!
Delicious roast as always and great selection of winter vegetables cooked perfectly. We love the candlelight!
Wonderful Sunday lunch! Excellent food served beautifully and felt special 😊
Locally sourced ingredients, beautifully cooked - makes for a great meal. Menu well designed. Informal atmosphere. Friendly service. Cosy.
Our first visit to this pub and instantly felt welcome and relaxed. The atmosphere was so lovely with both log burners going and all the Christmas lights. The service along with food was exceptional and I couldn’t recommend it high enough.
We visited the candlelight last Friday evening, we were greeted with a very warm welcome and made fimilar with the covid regs in place. We were buzzing to see the two open fires were lit as it was freezing outside! The service was excellent and the food even better. We will be visiting again in the spring. Outstanding.
A warm and welcoming pub with excellent food for a cold December evening.
Delicious as always :) Looking forward to our next visit already
Lovely place to eat. Food was delicious, flexible with a chip/salad swap. Staff were polite and full Covid compliant.
Fantastic food, atmosphere and service
Great food, wine 😋and service a great night as always 🤗
The food and service were both very good. But the quaint kitchen chairs at our table were not comfortable and the owners should try sitting in them for an hour or more.
Best meal I have had for a very long time and not just because of Covid lockdown. All three courses were superbly cooked and presented, friendly helpful service and a lovely ambience. Really interesting menu with variety. Top marks all round, made for a really special family evening.
Superbly Covid safe, incredibly helpful team at The Candlelight Inn, so friendly too. A very special place to visit for wonderful food and amazing service.
Had a very delicious meal. Standard of food and service very good as always
We love going to the Candlelight and have been many times. The quality of the food is always perfect. We appreciate that it is a gastro pub, bordering on fine dining and possibly tending towards nouvelle cuisine, but on our last visit we were very disappointed with the very small portions of turbot that were served, followed by an extremely small portion of cheese. Perhaps a review of portion size is required. Otherwise brilliant.
The menu seemed to be more comprehensive than on our previous visit which was a pleasant surprise. We all enjoyed our lunch!
Always a fantastic experience! Incredible food and superb staff - highly recommend it for families of all ages.
Discovered this restaurant via Trip Advisor and it exceeded expectations. Really lovely ambience (with lots of candles) and staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was excellent and nicely presented and we felt spoilt for choice.
The restaurant had taken all necessary COVID precautions, but had also managed to maintain a lovely environment.
Just wish we could make this our local, but sadly we live 200 miles away.
We hadn’t been to the Candlelight for a little while but as always never ceases to impress. From the moment you walk in until you leave it’s a peaceful, positive and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
From attentive staff to outstanding, quality food it proved to be a wonderful evening, thank you.
Excellent food and we felt safe with the measures in place
Fantastic evening meal at The Candlelight Inn. Really well organised with COVID measures which didn’t distract from the experience. Food and service was great! Definitely worth a visit.
I ordered the ham and eggs, taking a risk as I hate fat. It was beautiful, very lean and had a slightly smokey barbecue flavour which I thought was lovely. This with chunky chips, what more can you ask for!
