Elephant & Castle Churchtown

Excellent food (wings were fantastic) and super dessert (copabanana i think - yummy). Very good service and helpful staff. Thoroughly recommended. Only minor criticism was the v low volume music - bit higher volume would be ideal for me.

Upon stepping into this restaurant, my family and I were met with high hopes and rumbling stomachs. However, as the meal progressed, so did our mixed feelings. The staff, though clearly in the midst of a bustling lunch rush, appeared as though they could use a moment of respite themselves, which unfortunately translated to a lacklustre welcome. Nevertheless, the culinary creations that emerged from the kitchen were a blend of delight and satisfaction. My omelette was a masterpiece in itself, each bite a symphony of flavours. Meanwhile, the children gleefully devoured their burgers and chips, not to mention the decadent desserts that followed. Alas, as we settled the bill and saw the tally surpassing the 100 euro mark, a shadow of disappointment clouded our dining experience. The stark reality of the high prices dampened our previously uplifted spirits, leaving us with a bittersweet taste lingering in our mouths. While the food managed to satiate our hunger pangs, the lack of a warm and inviting ambience coupled with the hefty bill make it improbable for us to schedule a return visit anytime soon. In a city teeming with dining options, this restaurant, despite its culinary prowess, falls short in creating a truly memorable and value-for-money dining experience.

Always a pleasure to eat here! The wings are some of the best in town. The limeade drinks are great, especially the cherry if you have a sweet tooth! The mango one is just as good & less sweet. The burgers are tasty but I recommend trying different things on the menu, the risotto of the day is always excellent! On this visit I had the pesto risotto with mozzarella. The staff are always friendly & attentive also. Edit: On my next visit I had fish & chips along with a delicious dessert, I was blown away by the portion sizes, it was so generous and really appreciated! Always recommend E&C in Churchtown.
