The Candlestick - Réserver une table

Thank you to the Candlestick for an amazing wedding reception yesterday. It was a beautiful venue with the most amazing staff and incredible food. They couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. The food was delivered with no errors and no questions to the right person each time. A sign of a really good restaurant. Thank you so much for making our day so special. A perfect venue for any occasion. They seated 26 with no concerns. The only sad thing was the weather meant that the champagne and canapés had to move indoors, rather than under the canopy on the lawn. Weather sadly outside their control lol. 10 stars for the candlestick many, many, many thanks. You made it so special.

Beautiful location but the food was very disappointing and overpriced. My wife and I had the roast belly pork. It was disgusting and clearly reheated in the microwave. The crackly was soggy and the meat tough as old boots. Veg was badly presented and possibly the worst roast potatoes I've ever had. My daughters both had the burger. They liked their food, but then they are children and weren't paying the £14 for such a small burger with a few chips and salad chucked on the side with no dressing. Starters were OK, but very overpriced. Only worth visiting for the views and a drink, definitely not for the food.

The Candlestick has new owners who are committed to staying and making the pub a thriving spot once again. They have put in a lot of effort to revitalize the venue and provide the village of Essendon with a new place to unwind and savor a delicious meal while enjoying a cold pint in the lovely garden. The pub now has set operating hours: Monday to Friday from 12pm to 11pm, Saturday from 11am to 11pm, and Sunday from 11am to 10:30pm. This ensures that guests won't arrive to find the pub closed as it may have been in the past.

The restaurant is located in a beautiful spot, hidden away like a gem. However, the Sunday roast we ordered was a huge letdown. The food was terrible and was likened to a school cafeteria meal. It was the worst roast we've ever had. It's a shame because we were planning on bringing many friends here. We'll be sticking with the White Horse in Burnham Green, where the prices are slightly higher but the food is delicious.

Lovely proper country pub on the outskirts of the village. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, and so an ideal place to stop for refreshments while out hiking. Nice seating area out front. Staff were friendly and the ales well kept. Didn’t try the food but would next time. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

A complete waste of a Sunday lunch. The pork belly was inedible, undercooked veg, cold food, even when we asked for it to be reheated. The staff obviously had no idea how to handle a complaint. I doubt the new management will last long with such an attitude. Disappointingly, totally not recommended.

Was quietly enjoying my drink when a confused-looking man came stumbling in. He started mumbling something about the Scottish referendum. Thankfully he moved on fairly quickly but it was a close call. Overall great staff, 10/10

Had a delicious Sunday lunch here. Glad this pub is open again. For the sunny days there's seating outside with views of the fields around. Relaxing! Welcoming and friendly service too.

Really lovely unpretentious pub. Dog friendly. Really delicious Sunday roast. Gardens are huge, with large play area and fantastic views and countryside all around.
