    I like this place for what it is… decent pub food, helpful staff, family friendly, decent prices. It’s comfortable and unpretentious.

    I absolutely love Elephant & Castle. Such amazing Irish/English food and such a cozy pub. Highly recommend the wee pie flight so you can try all of the pies- the chicken pot pie and leek and cheese pie are my favorites!

    When we (8 people) came, we had an ability to select the table from few suggested. Waiter was polite and attentive. Order was taken and food and drinks were served in timely manner. Drinks were good. Food was pretty good. We often came to Elephant & Castle for lunch or dinner! Always good!

    Those were the smallest pies I ever saw. Not a good value. I feed my cats more food. Terrible food presentation. Like they didn’t care. The curry ketchup was disappointing The hostess and the waiter were nice and efficient

    Ok so it was 430pm on a Sunday so maybe the sound level rating is different at other times. Love the menu and the Fuller's Pride, definitely worth a visit. Will go back again soon.

    We enjoyed our food and then ambience, our server was fantastic. There was a mix up with one of our orders and it took a while but they did make it right, would definitely go back!
