We had no idea what to expect having booked this last min, as we were hungry from all the Guinness tasting. It has been the unexpected stand out of the trip. The food was delicious & we’re so glad we ate here!

I was always a fan of Elephant and Castle and this visit didn't diappoint. The weather was good so we sat outside but later moved inside. The bill was transferred to the new table without difficulty. The service was good and the food was excellent.
