I absolutely love Elephant & Castle. Such amazing Irish/English food and such a cozy pub. Highly recommend the wee pie flight so you can try all of the pies- the chicken pot pie and leek and cheese pie are my favorites!

Those were the smallest pies I ever saw. Not a good value. I feed my cats more food. Terrible food presentation. Like they didn’t care. The curry ketchup was disappointing The hostess and the waiter were nice and efficient

Ok so it was 430pm on a Sunday so maybe the sound level rating is different at other times. Love the menu and the Fuller's Pride, definitely worth a visit. Will go back again soon.
