   Very cozy atmosphere, food was amazing! Our waiter was so friendly but unfortunately we waited a full hour from sitting down to getting our food….shame as other than this we had a lovely evening!

   Gorgeous food. But for the second time in a row the service was bad. After 20 mins of no attention I had to go find a server to take our order. Servers were all talking to each other and avoiding eye contact with customers. Again I had to get up off the table and ask someone for the bill.

   Food was not up to previous standard. Chips felt old and almost like leftovers and food was only lukewarm as if it had been sitting for a long time without being kept warm. This is my first time having a bad experience in this particular Elephant & Castle and I was disappointed.

   The bathroom is always dirty. The same food tests different. For example the soup I ordered today was not delicious than a few weeks ago.
