16/09/2024: terrible service new lady forgot my order then accused me for not paying she was forgetting multiple people's orders in line too. Didnt seem trained shouldnt be left alone in the stall to mess up everyones orders

30/08/2024: We need this chippie where I live. Fast, cheap, convenient and very very tasty. Best fish & chips in a very long time. The lady who served us was very accommodating and the nicest. Cod & chips and bread & butter on a bench watching the sea. Wonderful

27/09/2026: Brilliant Pub great music and wonderful Staff. A really fun and friendly place ☺️

08/09/2026: Charming Irish pub, great atmosphere and friendly people. Highly recommended.

04/12/2023: Food was amazing But I almost lost my order so -1 star

30/11/2023: Visited on Saturday for our first time out with the little one and it was amazing. Having ran pizzerias myself in the past I can be very critical however this hit the mark on all aspects especially on service where the host/manager was lovely and congratulated us with a starter on the house. This is what I call going the extra mile and I look forward to returning to this establishment. The bathrooms are immaculate also which is also a positive when you have a child who is quite young.

18/04/2026: Fantastic service and super friendly staff, the Guinness wasn't bad either 👍

15/02/2025: I cannot express how disappointed I am with my experience at Elephant and Castle. What was supposed to be a romantic Valentine's Day dinner turned into an absolute nightmare. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with hostility, setting the tone for the rest of the evening. When I mentioned I wasn’t sure what to order yet, the server rolled their eyes at me—an incredibly rude and unprofessional gesture. They then barked, “What ye want?” in a tone that made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a guest. This was not the warm, welcoming atmosphere I expected, especially on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. The service only got worse from there. We were completely ignored throughout our meal, making it impossible to order more drinks or even get the attention of the staff when we needed something. To make matters worse, I witnessed something utterly appalling: a staff member took drinks off a table after the customers said they weren’t the right ones, and then proceeded to serve those same drinks to another table. I was horrified to see the couple at that table take a sip, completely unaware of what had just happened. This level of unhygienic and unethical behavior is unacceptable. This rudeness was experienced by many as I spoke to fellow guests who also complained and felt the same way The entire experience was embarrassing and frustrating. I would never recommend Elephant and Castle to anyone, especially not for a special occasion. Save yourself the disappointment and dine elsewhere. This place is a complete letdown

31/01/2025: Savage, inhaled my burger, feels good in my belly 😋

06/01/2026: I was given a presentation in one of the large room and drop in for a sandwich. Very good quality food a efficient service 👌

27/09/2025: Unfortunately went for dinner here and was so disappointed the steak was dry and nothing special . The other meal was reasonable . You could hear a pin drop in the restaurant and no atmosphere. Sad for such a lovely hotel .

04/08/2025: This place is nice, and the food and coffee are great. However, the only thing that really lets it down is the customer service. It felt like the staff assumed that because the shop is busy, they don't need to be polite or accommodating. While I was sitting and enjoying my coffee, I was repeatedly asked if I was finished and if they could take the cutlery. Even after I had finished and handed over my cup, I sat for a few more minutes — only to be questioned by the staff about whether I had even ordered anything. Apparently, the manager saw me sitting without a coffee on the camera and sent someone over to ask for my receipt. The food and coffee here are amazing, but the customer service is honestly the worst I’ve ever experienced.

02/08/2025: Ante todo diré que el café está bien. El servicio puede mejorar y la organización también. No dejaron subir a mi mujer a la terraza de la planta superior hasta que no tenemos la consumición en la mano, y tuvimos que hacernos una hora de cola, porque en Bray había un evento de las Fuerzas Aéreas. No tiene sentido porque arriba hay gente que no está consumiendo nada desde que nos sentamos. Precio-calidad-organización, si cabe mejorable.

26/05/2026: I went because it looks beautiful but my friend and I order a burger each and they took almost an hour and a half to bring them and that was only because we asked one of the waitress if our food was coming or not after we saw all the tables around us had already their meals even when they ordered after us. She took care of the situation but nobody came to ask if we still wanted our food and just brought it on the next 10 mins or less without apologising or acknowledging their mistake because they clearly had forgotten about it. After that, the waitress, Hannah, who solved the situation at first was the only one that took constant care of our service and was friendly but the whole situation delayed our plans and kept us hungry for a while. We both work in hospitality and we can understand delays or mistakes happen, but at least they could have asked if we still wanted the food and take accountability for the mistake.

26/05/2026: Service is very poor as we walked in an no one approached us or let us know where to sit! We ordered the steak sandwich and it was literally a lump of steak on bread? I have never in my life had a steak sandwich like that. It was expensive and lacked seasoning. We also asked for the steak to be medium rare but it was practically well done and chewy. Honestly a waste of money :/
