Read moreWe visit Candles restaurant every year we're in Ingoldmells normally for breakfast and it's always been fantastic, This year we've had the pleasure of meeting the new owners and I must say its now first class, the food tastes better than ever, the prices are great and the welcoming feeling and service we're second to none, We also decided to visited for lunch for the first time on our trip this year and the home made steak pie was to die for!! I would and can highly recommend Candles as a must to visit if your ever in town, well done to the new owners top notch *
Keep up the good work
See you next year
