- MBMitch BourbonniereNov 7, 20255.0My brother and I meet about once a month at the elephant in Castle for lunch. We really look forward to this as we almost always get the same server Krissy, who is just wonderful! She always remembers our order and makes us feel special. She checks on us several times while we’re there just to make sure everything‘s OK. She is warm and friendly and we just love her! The entire atmosphere in the restaurant is great and friendly and we’ve also come to know Dwight who always has a smile and a wave for us. We will continue to visit and we always look forward to the eating outside in the summer.
- JSJonathan Norman SinclairNov 7, 20255.0Outstanding Service! We had a fantastic experience thanks to our regular server, Krissy! my brother and I have lunch at the Elephant and Castle once and month, and Krissy books the same table and time for each visit. From the moment we arrived, she is warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. Krissy anticipated our needs without being intrusive, made great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout the meal. Krissy friendly attitude and genuine care made the visit truly memorable. A big shoutout to Dwight, the owner, for creating such a welcoming and well-run establishment. It’s rare to find service this good—thank you for making our time so enjoyable! Highly recommend!
- AAAndrewNov 7, 20255.0This place has ruined Fish and Chips for me and I mean that in the best way possible. The quality of your Fish and Chips is literally some of the best i've ever had in my life, and I will now forever compare everyone elses to the standards that you make yours. Out of this world!
- RARico AckermanNov 6, 20254.0Hey all! It’s Mori here! We stopped by Elephant and Castle as I was quite interested in the restaurant as I’ve walked by a few times. It’s beautifully decorated and lots of seating. It was a bit livelier and found a lot of guests at this location. My partner and I went in on a Wednesday evening and ordered these Chorizo sausage pastries as an appetizer. It came along with this curry ketchup sauce and we were a bit uncertain about this combination. The sausage is made in house and after a couple bites we realized that it does work well together. What a combination! I’d like to persuade others to try this as well and see what your thoughts are!
