All excellent except there was no celery for the wings, I would not have ordered them if I knew beforehand. Service was excellent and food was good value, I would return but was very disappointed about the celery! Nice to see good alcohol free drinks and 'spirits' on the menu, I had the mule and it was really good.

Booked a table for bank holiday sunday eve. I can only hope they were short staffed as to say the service was bad is an understatement. Every single table around us handed back food. We were served our food at different times. Tables were filthy and not cleared or cleaned in the whole time we were there. Wings were terrible. Nobody came back to see how our food was and both of us didnt even eat half our food and no one even questioned or asked if our food was ok. On our experience of elephant and castle we will definitely not be returning

Don't accept bookings from Open Table on the day if you know you are severely under staffed. I felt sorry for the staff, and didn't take it out on them as this is an ownership /management issue. We were looking forward to a family dinner out, a very rare occasion with 3 small children who were left waiting for their dinner over an hour. We won't be returning to any of the establishments.

Regularly eat here with my husband, was there last night as party of 6, I assume the 12.5% service charge would be to ensure all 6 people had meals at the same time, but 3 meals came out with a 10 min gap between the next three (of which a side order was further delayed), also waited for ONE slow pouring bottle of ketchup between 6 people, please bring ketchup automatically when people are ordering burgers. Disappointed as I was the one who recommended the restaurant.

Apart from the chicken wings which always taste great and are great value the rest of the menu is overpriced. The service is very bad, seems that there is a lot of staff around, yet minimum waiting time is always near to an hour! This is not acceptable and the last visit was our last for a long time.

Food was lovely, service was awful! Waited 40 minutes on 1 ice cream scoop which was part Of the children’s meal deal which had to be ordered at the start of the meal an was entered into the tablet. Asked 3 different people 4 times! Was never asked if the food or everything was ok and never asked if we would like tea coffee or desert or another drink after Our meal

Great food. Nice ambience. Waiters and waitresses very pleasant and friendly but service overall wasn’t great. We had to ask for things multiple times and ask for dessert menus/ coffee/ to pay. We just got kind of abandoned after main course. Still enjoyed ourselves and very nice experience overall.

We had Anne as our servicer she was absolutely brilliant, she is full of energy and couldn't have done a better job of looking after us, she took our dessert order and went on her break while she was gone not one other staff member came near us and we didn't get our dessert until Anne came back, she apologised to us and went and got it straight away for us. Food was very nice. Only down fall would definitely be the rest of your staff members just standing around and not serving people. The 2 hours we were there it looked like Anne and another dark haired girl were only serving everyone while the rest stood watching, will definitely be back for the food and service from Anne

Overall,good but the restaurant was freezing. Front door either stuck or purposely left open-result the same. Guest had to put coat on,during main. Seriously needs to addressed-staff were regularly over at till,which is beside door and never seemed to close it.
