Immerse yourself in the captivating tale of The Elephant & Castle, a Grade II-listed treasure tracing its origins back to the 17th century when it first served as a bustling butcher's shop. The year 1911 marked a pivotal turn, ushering in the era of its first female innkeeper—a pioneering figure who, along with her son and two daughters, etched an indelible mark on this historic sanctuary.

As you navigate the corridors of time, let whispers guide you to the mystical realm of legends. A ghostly figure, draped in black, is said to elegantly traverse through walls—a silent witness to the echoes of bygone eras.

In the vibrant present, The Elephant & Castle proudly stands as the heart of Amersham's community, extending an invitation to explore a delectable array of cuisine and beverages. Embark on a journey that intertwines the threads of history and warmth, as the tales of yesteryears seamlessly blend with the welcoming ambiance that eagerly awaits your presence.

Really good pub food at the Elephant & Castle. Family had a wonderful time and the kids menu was really good value with good portion sizes for 10 year olds. Quiet on a Tuesday as expected, but that only meant the food came quicker which was nice, I was spoilt for choice with excellent pies, but went for the beef short rib which was excellent. Everyone was happy and would happily return.

This pub is at the end of Old Amersham, the lady at the bar was friendly & welcoming. There was plenty of choice for seating & when the sun arrives a nice pub garden. The food (we had a chicken sandwich) was ok, I thought I ordered chicken without breadcrumbs, it came with (there were two versions), I didn’t query this.

A very quiet Monday evening at least until the pub quiz started. Food and service were average at best, disappointing.

The food was okay, but the service could have been improved. We sat with empty plates for a while in between courses, but the staff were friendly.
