Elephant & Castle Beacon is the next exciting new chapter in the Elephant & Castle story. The fourth Elephant & Castle has opened in the bustling Beacon South Quarter, bringing an exciting new addition to the Sandyford area. The menu will feature the same great dishes that make Elephant & Castle a firm favourite. From the fluffy omelettes, caesar salads and juicy burgers, and, of course, those crispy, spicy wings. We’re focusing on friendly, laid-back service; tasty as ever food and a relaxed atmosphere - everything Elephant & Castle lovers have come to expect from a visit to our place.

    This was a real let down. Service was fine but the food quality was terrible. The chips tasted like they had just been reheated and the salad was the worst and cheapest ingredients I have ever had. It also took 40 minutes from when we entered, sat, ordered, got food, ate, paid bill and left. For a party of 5 that's way too fast. Even my 5 year old said, I am giving this a double thumbs down

    It was pretty much dead for a thursday night which obviously isn't the restaurants fault. However they couldn't get us out fast enough and from well before 9pm it was made clear that we needed to go. They even gave us the bill without us asking. We felt like an inconvenience more than anything to be honest.

    Simple meal for two late on a Sunday evening. Good food, well served. Venue was quiet at the time, but this suited us well.

    Elephant & Castle is a go-to. A little disappointed last night. Nachos portion was small and service was slow. Usually not the case so still recommend and will return.

    I ordered the chicken burger, and while it was fine, the chips were soggy, and the presentation looked like everything was just slapped onto the plate. My wife had the crispy battered fish, but it was no more crispier than the chips.
