Elephant & Castle Beacon is the next exciting new chapter in the Elephant & Castle story. The fourth Elephant & Castle has opened in the bustling Beacon South Quarter, bringing an exciting new addition to the Sandyford area. 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.

    Excellent service and food options with generous desserts. A reliable go-to for family occasions but versatile for couples and bigger groups too. Chicken wings are a very popular choice but menu includes something for everyone.

    Menu change not a wise move.. burgers chilli and mushroom & herb should be back on the menu. Also, food generally has dropped in quality since new co structure.
    Elephant & Castle - BeaconResponded on April 14, 2025
    Dear Brian; We apologies our new menu has not meet your expectations. However, there are new items that have been well received, like our new burger patty, salads, chicken schnitzel and more. Please come back and try some of the new dishes.

    A nice meal overall but we were very disappointed that the dirty fries recipe had changed. The normal siracha and cheddar cheese topping had been replaced with bucket type cheap cheese. Ruined the experience. Won’t be returning or ordering take out anymore.

    Your staff are very good, attentive and friendly. Was a bit disappointed with the new chicken burger though It was quite soggy...the breadcrumbs burger before was much better in my opinion and much more flavour.

    Nice atmosphere and great service. Chicken wings were not nice and crispy like before. Burger buns were different and not good different. Generally I felt like the food just wasn't as good as before. I've been eating in Elephant & Castle restaurants loads in past 19 years and hardly ever been disappointed. This time I was.
