Popped in for coffee whilst on a walk. Lovely staff and very nice coffee with a free little cake on the side. Back soon for a meal.

I booked a table on line and paid a £10 deposit. It was not until some time after I’d left I realised the £10 had not been taken in to account on the bill. No, I haven’t chased it up but really I shouldn’t have to. The place itself is very nice and busy which indicates its popularity. Just check your bill if you paid a deposit in line.

Loved the place if we was to go again I would ask for the middle of the pie I got the corner and the pastry was a bit overwhelming apart from that 10 out of 10

Visiting family, and we came here for Sunday lunch. Lovely pub staff were very helpful. Gluten-free item clearly stated on the menu. I had baked cod in a cream sauce on mash potatoes. Veg was put on the table to share. It was presented lovely. It was more expensive than l would normally pay for a Sunday lunch £18 but the quality was there, so l didn't mind.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free option available

Went for Sunday dinner and really enjoyed it however, first time I’ve ever been charged extra for Mash Potato and Cauliflower Cheese (which they forgot to bring to the table) on an already expensive menu.

not been here for a good 18 months as had a bad experience before so Give them the benefit of the doubt to try it again Because it’s a shame it used to be a lovely little place Nothing has changed The food is really bland No Test to it and cold in the middle and is well Complained to the owner about the food being cold , she did absolutely nothing about saying “ That’s how we serve it” it is over priced for what you get avoid

Great service but food was disappointing, hummus was bland, risotto was very dry and the garlic bread was hard, scampi was crisp on the outside but soggy on the inside, I personally wouldn't go back for food.

This one I can’t speak more highly of. The service was that I could expect in a high end London place. The prices albeit higher than the area still was very reasonable. The food I had was well presented. Since I’ve only eaten there once I can’t really comment, but I do look forward to widening my experience to comment more fully.Well done.

Very disappointed in our family lunch. Garlic mushrooms served on an over thick wedge of dry cardboard like bread. Tempura prawns were lovely and light but sickly sweet chilli sauce. Scampi very nice and crisp, but served with a teaspoon of tartar sauce obviously being rationed. Extra was brought out when requested. The huge oversized bland and tasteless chips … why?? What’s wrong with serving normal sized crispy chips?The roast chicken dinner came with pre gravied Yorkshire pudding which made it soggy and unappealing.Extremely dry Cayjun chicken was the biggest disappointment, and pretty inedible. When we requested a sauce we were told non was available. Perphaps if the coleslaw that should have accompanied the dish had appeared it may have improved it. But I doubt it.Three drinks, two starters with three main courses were £75. Not money well spent unfortunately.

Recently visited this pub for lunch with a friend and we left rather disappointed.The staff were nice and the atmosphere seemed fine however the food didn’t quite meet our expectations.We ordered an Antipasto from the main menu accompanied by a side order of sweet potato fries and a couple of glasses of Chardonnay but apart from the wine everything else was appalling.Assuming that the sharing starter of antipasto for £10 will be a charcuterie style selection of cured meats, cheese, olives dips and bread we received 4 slices of rock hard bread with 4 tiny dips (olive oil & balsamic, hummus, crushed olives, red pepper & tomato)The side order of sweet potato fries was soaked in oil and it was undercooked.Upon trying the above we decided not to waste our appetite on such mediocre food so I paid the bill of £25 and went elsewhere to have a proper meal.Sadly the experience was so bad that I doubt it that we would ever return or recommend the Elephant and Castle to anyone.
