Customer Reviews
It was pretty quiet on my Saturday lunchtime visit. The Barman was very welcoming. My Ossett - White Rat was in perfect condition. Vocation - Heart & Soul and Tiny Rebel - Cwtch was also available. The Candlestick is a short walk from Whitehaven train station and the Harbour/ Marina. Well worth a visit 👍🍻
Edit: Sunday 20th April 2025 They have Scampi Fries now. Still the best real ale pub here imho. Edit: Sunday 2nd June 2024 Excellent beers and excellent service continues, definitely my favourite pub! Edit: Monday 12th Feb 2024 More excellent beers! Edit: Thursday 9th November 2023: As real ales go, I really enjoyed the "Wonky Donkey" = Still excellent! New information: As of today, 19th August 2023 they have proper bottles of proper Coca-Cola too! Nice pub, great location, good selection of beers all of which are well looked after, tidy interior, clean glasses, ok selection of crisps / nuts, excellent range of comfy seating, friendly staff, good clean toilets. Useful info: Level access (I expect likely wheelchair friendly.) Good layout (I expect likely wheelchair friendly) Less than 100 metres to defibrillator on the harbour to the north.
