Your restaurant exists to provide your customers with memorable experiences, both with the quality of the food, the comfort of the surroundings and the ambience of the room.

The ambience is where our expertise lies, and we are going to show you the perfect way to enhance it, in the same way as we have done for, among others, two of the five Asian restaurants with a Michelin star, which are the Tamarind restaurant and Amaya.

Hundreds of other restaurants, including some as famous as the River Cafe, Core by Clare Smyth and Dorian use our oil candles on their tables to create the perfect atmosphere for a wonderful dining experience, and you will be able to as well.

Not only a superb and beautiful product, but practical, with very low running costs of 2 pence an hour or less.

Our survey found that 83 out of 100 people prefer a restaurant with candlelight to one without, and we are passionate about giving you the best possible product for your restaurant.

Running a successful restaurant isn’t just about great food – that is a necessity – it’s also about creating the right atmosphere, keeping costs under control, and giving guests reasons to come back again and again. That’s where Clearcraft Oil Candles can make a real difference.

Traditional wax candles and tealights may seem cheap, but they burn unevenly, create waste, and often fizzle out before the evening ends. Very often, if you run service for 5 or 6 hours, you have to light a second one and then throw it away, half finished. And that’s before you have to start cleaning wax of the tables, table cloths, carpets and customers! And don’t they always fiddle with wax candles and make a right mess?

Oil candles, on the other hand:
  • Burn longer and more consistently, and don’t run out in the middle of service
  • Eliminate wastage – no half-burned candles or dripped wax to throw away.
  • Reduce staff time – no scraping hardened wax off tables, furniture, or glassware.
  • Improve – the overall cleanliness, ambience and appearance of your restaurant
  • Are Simple and Safe – Just fill with the oil, light and re-light

Over time, restaurants switching to Clearcraft Oil Candles save hundreds of pounds per year compared with wax candles.

Guests notice the details. A clean, steady flame in a crystal-clear holder instantly elevates the look of your dining space. Unlike wax candles, oil candles never slump,

  • Elegant presentation every night.
