    Staff absolutely outstanding with kids. We had a baby and a 4 year old. It was the 4 year old's birthday and about 6 staff members sang to her. Good solid as usual. Wings and elephant burger always good. Prices done Jo slightly since our last trip a few months ago.

    We ordered calamari and the size was tiny… It was embarrassing to eat that starter
    Elephant & Castle - RathminesResponded on February 28, 2025
    Hi Luis, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the portion size of the calamari. Just to clarify, the dish is intended as an individual starter, not a sharing portion. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide a better experience next time! Best regards, E&C Team!

    Food was not all it was hyped up to be. Had to send back the Dirty Chicken dish which was just thrown together. About 6 small pieces of chicken in it.

    Hi Rachael, Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We take pride in our dishes, and it’s disappointing to learn that the Dirty Chicken didn’t live up to the hype.

Your comments are valuable, and we’ll review this with our kitchen team to ensure improvements moving forward. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience. Best regards, E&C Team!
