Improve This Listing

A remote country pub/restaurant now serving a range of up to six cask ales where good food features strongly at lunchtime and during the evening. Sunday roasts. Popular also with walkers and cyclists. Originally called the Chequers but became known as the Candlestick because of the habit of a previous landlord who took the sole candle to the cellar when collecting the beer, leaving customers in the dark. New tenant since July 2023, last orders are at 10pm then 30 minutes drinking up time.

Information for this venue is provided by the South Hertfordshire Branch of CAMRA
