The Candlestick Pub

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 to the local cafe for a fry up.

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 the outdoor seating and the rugby viewing area are excellent. Well worth a visit.

So pleased to see The Candlestick has reopened 😊 fab generous roast lunch with lovely roast potatoes and good selection of veg, very reasonably priced too. Delicious puds, friendly staff with very well kept gardens and lots of flowers; cosy and clean interior and welcomes dogs; cannot fault it. We will be back and I wish the new owners good luck with the pub 😍

The Candlestick is under new management and they are here to stay. A lot of work has gone into this pub to bring it back to life and give the village of Essendon a new place to relax and enjoy a nice meal whilst supping a chilled pint in the beautiful garden. The pub also has set opening times...mon-fri 12 til 11 sat 11 til 11 and sun 11 til 10.30. So you wont be turning up to a closed pub like before.

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.
