Our restaurant is a bright and airy, designed dining space lying at the very heart of Churchtown. It is a local gathering place for family and friends, neighbours and colleagues. The menu will feature the same great dishes that make Elephant & Castle a firm favourite. From the fluffy omelettes, caesar salads and juicy burgers, and, of course, those crispy, spicy wings. We’re focusing on friendly, laid-back service; tasty as ever food and a relaxed atmosphere - everything Elephant & Castle lovers have come to expect from a visit to our place.

    Hake was unfortunately off but salmon was good. Banana Copacabana was also off (Yes, we have no bananas! Though supermarket across the road was open!). Opted for Coffee Cantata instead but ice-cream was chocolate, not coffee.

    Don’t sit beside the window it’s freezing, waiting a long time for food at mixed temperature. Staff are nice but service is very very slow

    Eat here regularly, good food & service. One issue - there is a gluten-free beer option on the menu but we've been told for the last few months that it's out of stock. Can you please restock this?

    Went to E&C yesterday in Churchtown for the first time. I brought 2 American visitors and unfortunately we were all disappointed. Surprisingly given that we arrived at 14.00, the restaurant was just opening. We were the only people there for at least 30 mins till others arrived and the heating, which seemed to have been just turned on was pumping out cold air. All in all the atmosphere was not conducive to a happy lunch gathering. We ordered 3 burgers which took a long time to arrive, and when they did we were all disappointed with the quality of the cooking. The strips of bacon were rick hard and the buns for the burgers fell into pieces as soon as they were picked up. We all left a lot of our meal behind us and it was very disappointing for me to have brought my guests out for a catch-up meal only to be let down by the venue and the food. i wouldn't go back I'm afraid.
