Candlestick

A remote country pub/restaurant where good food features strongly at lunchtime and during the evening. Popular also with walkers and cyclists, guest ales from Hertfordshire brewers are always available. 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. Now a friendly, well lit, free house.
