The Bangers and Mash is a classic representation as it hits home with the blend between perfectly grilled sausage with mashed potatoes and onion gravy! The Guiness Lamb Stew is also perfect for the winter as the lamb is nicely cooked with the root vegetables and does enjoy well with a slice of bread!

I walked past Elephant & Castle Pub And Restaurant several times and finally had to enter! I loved pub life, so I was excited about what I would find. A small Canadian restaurant chain founded in 1977, it had locations in Canada and the U.S. that offered the charm of a British pub complete with traditional food, beers, and of course a perfect place to catch football matches. Did I feel like a king of the castle who rode in on an elephant in search of a pint and some chips!?

Once I ordered, my drinks arrived immediately while the food was no more than ten minutes. The place was busy, so it was all about getting the orders out as quickly as possible. I got what I needed, so all was good - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the entire 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An elongated layout with two large bars, a ton of chairs/tables, and sidewalk seating, it felt cramped yet roomy enough to move around.

OVERALL I had a great time at Elephant & Castle Pub & Restaurant, and I would definitely return especially for their happy hour!

It does seem to fill in fast, so anyone wanting to join the trivia game should arrive way early before 7PM. The waiters or servers were all very nice and helpful. I ordered the Falafel Burger and it came with fries. The serving size was a good amount for an individual. The price, however, was a little bit much. I understand that the pricing premium maybe due to all the other entertainment present and provided by the establishment. There was trivia night during Thursdays, and I believe there was also an Irish night announced, and other days when there is some music being played. I was really impressed with the trivia night items and the format. A lot of thought was put into the narrative and overall theming of all the questions. My only complain was that I wished they did not spend too long in between question sets and rounds. The game show started at 7 and finished sometime closer to 9. If it was a Friday, there will be no issue about the ending time; but considering that it was a Thursday evening some people may have work the following day.

Everyone raved about the food and the staff. It's so cliche but it was the best night of my life. These are just some snaps from friends' phones. I may update when I get the professional photos.

Went here when there was a live performer. Could get noisy. Some people dance in a small area by the door. The service could be better however.

Myself along with 3 family friends tried this place over the weekend after I had read positive…read morereviews about it and found ourselves in the area. None of us were overly-satisfied with the experience and I doubt any of us would return voluntarily. They do appear to have a nice patio which would seem nice in the summer; however, it's currently facing a construction zone that doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon. It labels itself as an English pub and they've done very nice things with the décor. I especially appreciate the rows of books at the back of the pub. There are numerous flat screen TVs distributed throughout the pub, playing various sports games/races. The servers are friendly and prompt, although, they asked a couple of questions indicating they weren't familiar with the menu. The atmosphere was pleasant and laid back, The menu has "traditional English fare" at traditional English prices. A typical entrée will cost between $12-$15. Their bar menu is more reasonable with beers ranging from $3-6. One friend has a gluten allergy and only had one option to choose from when picking a main. Thankfully, she was somewhat in the mood for salad but when asked how it was, she responded "it's lettuce." Not the best review of a dish I'd ever heard. The rest of us ordered traditional English classics. Two of the members in the party were very curious about the strange aftertaste left by the "bangers" in the bangers and mash. I must admit, I tried it and couldn't label the strange taste either. The fish and chips were decent but slightly over priced. The best part of that dish for me was the coleslaw of which I could have eaten that dressing all day. When time for coffee and dessert, this place lost another star or two. One person in our party wanted decaf (which they didn't have) and the one person who wanted dessert was underwhelmed by the ONE option available, a deep fried mars bar. Those who had regular coffee were satisfied with it's taste. However, the rest of us went to local Tim Hortons to satisfy our coffee and sweet tooth cravings after dinner. All in all, a lot of little things were wrong or missing that gave this place such a low rating. I don't believe any of us will be returning voluntarily in the future.
