Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Elephant & Castle - Lucan is a family-friendly destination with a vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff. The "wings are the best in the country," making them a must-try. While the play area is a hit with kids, some feel the food value could improve. Overall, a welcoming spot for gatherings.

    I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite not being busy, we waited for 40 minutes to receive our food, which was frustrating on its own. When the food finally arrived, it was stone cold and clearly had been sitting out for a while. It was underwhelming in taste and not at all what we were expecting. To make matters worse, the staff seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than attending to the customers. They were neither welcoming nor attentive and the staff was busy having my their own dinner sitting at the bar, which made the experience feel even worse. We expected a lot more given the reputation, but sadly, we won’t be returning. Poor food quality, long wait times, and lackluster service left us extremely dissatisfied.

    Good service and good for children but all 8 dishes that were served to the table were cold. Cold burgers, cold chips, cold pasta.
