Reviews Summary
The Elephant Pub And Bakehouse is praised for its globally influenced, seasonal dishes and cozy, elephant-themed atmosphere. Diners rave about the exceptional fish and chips and inventive mains like the pork tomahawk and beef wellington. However, some reviews mention inconsistent service and under-par roast potatoes and vegetarian options.
"I had a roast dinner on Sunday and it was so good.
I've eaten alot in the elephant and food always good,but never had a roast.
It was unexpectedly so good .
I had the chicken my husband had the beef and my son had the beef wellington. I had a taste and was unreal. Yorkshire puddings are not my thing really but just gorgeous.
Finished off with bakewell which was also great.
My only thing is if I have to critic is roast potatoes needed to be crispier.
Will and have already recommended."

"Nice food in this cute elephant-themed pub. They have a cute terrace that must be lovely in summer, and the indoor area is comfortable and large. The food is good and very filling, and the desserts are excessive (the way we like them!). Service is helpful although sometimes a bit sparse. We have been there a couple of times and will go back! I somehow only have pictures of dessert, but will try to share more next time"

"Great pub & great staff & dog friendly
This place is really nice and has a great selection on its food menu. It is delightful food with an international twist. We were a pretty large party with ten of us, but still that was not too much of a problem for them.
The staff was also really helpful when we struggled to find a taxi they helped us out, as we were travelling with a dog that somehow increased complications, but the manager supported 100% and found a way to fix it and get us a cab.
Really appreciated, this place is 100% recommended by me!"
