                                                        Sadly the food was very greasy and soggy fries! Cheese was melted in the microwave, continually using the exact same container over and over again!

                                                        Those chicken wings are as good as ever. The food was very good overall , staff were very efficient & friendly. There was a great buzz, restaurant was fully booked, lots of people turned away. We enjoyed our meal immensely. A pretty much perfect start to our night.

                                                        Our first time trying Elephant and Castle. Unfortunately they were out of Fish and Chips so we both ordered burgers instead. They were mediocre at best. The chicken burger was really dry.
