I'm not a regular pub attendee. However, the Elephant & Castle is not an ordinary pub. It is extremely clean and bright with efficient service and good food. The Happy Hour food was sensational! Everything made on the premises from scratch...very impressive. Happy Hour drink prices are the lowest in the city. I will return.

My friend had your Fish & Chips, and I had the Rueben sandwich w/fries - the meal was excellent!! I rarely have lunch here on a Saturday but a smart move since the meal was great and then we went to the TSO's Matinee Concert performance of Disney's Encanto! Thank you E & C staff!

it was a busy night at the Elephant and Castle. We got an early reservation before the symphony. The service was ok but the waitress was busy. When we ordered, there were no hamburgers and one of the reason I had chosen the restaurant was because you served hamburgers. Two of us had the Sunday Roast and it was massively overcooked and tough. The other food was fine. One of our party complained and they did comp the meal, however the restaurant needs to look at that meal and make it better. I was one of the people who ordered it and I will not make that mistake again. The house salad was very good.
