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.

    Staff were so welcoming and accommodating. One of our children is a coeliac and was well catered for. We were a large family gathering and would highly recommend family occasions.

    Waiting a long time for food to come. The burger was frozen on the inside and the second dish was cold. Waiters were very nice and apologetic. Did get coffee on the house. Wouldn’t go again- very disappointing. It was the weekend of Mother’s Day therefore they were extremely busy and hence the result.

    We normally love coming here but we just found that we got less for our money this time and it was a bit disappointing. Standards have definitely slipped. The wing basket wasn't as full as normal and the glass of wine was small for €8.25 Shame the humous starter is discontinued. Our server was excellent and attentive
    Elephant & Castle - ChurchtownResponded on March 24, 2025
    Thanks you Sarah for your comments and feedback on our newest menu. We believe the new additions to the menu like the watermelon/quinoa salad, Chicken schnitzel, redesigned burger and burrata/tomato sandwich will soon grow and our customer just as once the Hummus did. I would recommend trying any of those next time, you won't be disappointed.
