We’re really pleased to welcome Alice to The Candlelight, where she’ll be leading the team and running the show day to day.
Originally from Devon, Alice brings with her a wealth of experience, having spent time running her own pubs up in Scotland. She’s someone who understands what makes a place tick, not just operationally, but emotionally. At her core, she’s a true people person, with a natural warmth, sharp judgement of character, and a no-nonsense approach that keeps things grounded and real.
She’s the kind of person who simply gets hospitality. Not in a theoretical way—but in the way she reads a room, connects with people, and takes genuine enjoyment from making sure others are having a good time. That energy is infectious, and it shows up in everything she does.
Outside of the pub, Alice is happiest outdoors; running, mountain biking, river swimming, or spending time with her husband and their three dogs. She’s equally at home with a glass of wine in hand, a big laugh (which you’ll hear before you see her), and good company around her.
Most importantly, she brings a sense of ease, care, and positivity that fits naturally with what we’re building at The Candlelight.
We’re very glad she’s on our team and we think you will be too.
