Candlesticks Hotel & Restaurant
Candlesticks is a family business owned, since 1975 by Mr & Mrs Pinto. The family are originally from the Portuguese Island of Madeira. Manuel Pinto, the proprietor, learnt his craft in renowned places such as The Savoy and Reids before working in Jersey then Manchester and London. His vast knowledge has been passed on to his son Nelio who now runs the business.

Nelio is an international wine judge and educator. The Business is a "Restaurant with Rooms" and as such we are always here during restaurant hours to give you personal service and when we are not here we are at the end of the phone. The restaurant and rooms enjoy an excellent reputation, built up by word of mouth and repeat customers, some through three generations.
Services
The restaurant has an extensive and varied menu using the finest local Lincolnshire produce as well as combining specially sourced produce from Madeira and Portugal. The restaurant retains traditional standards of silver service with classical French, English and Portuguese cuisine. We can cater for vegetarians and vegans as well as people with special dietry needs.
There are eight bedrooms in total, all of which are non-smoking and en-suite. Each room has a kettle and toaster as well as well as a fridge which is stocked with a self service breakfast. There are also cereals& ground coffee. If you would like a cooked breakfast please ask. Residents, when checked in, are given a key for the entrance so they can come and go as they please.

Candlesticks has real atmosphere with its underground candle lit restaurant. The food is excellent value at £28 for 3 courses as is the wine.

Place is a little quirky, menu is Portuguese based I believe. However we all had steak with pepper corn sauce.
All silver served, nothing was too much trouble for the host! We asked, he produced!!
The food tasted divine.
Well done Candlesticks!!!
