Elephant & Castle Pub and Restaurant, or simply Elephant & Castle (E&C), is a Canadian restaurant chain founded in 1977.[1] Restaurants operate in Canada and the United States.

Description

The restaurant chain Elephant & Castle operates "English pub-style"[2] restaurants in Canada and the United States. The menu includes fish and chips and shepherd's pie.[3]

History

Food menu, Seattle, 2024

In 2012, a Canadian restaurant firm acquired Boston-based Elephant & Castle Group, which operated 19 establishments at the time and had filed for chapter 11 protection in 2011.[4][5] Franworks Group owned and operated fourteen Elephant & Castle (E&C) restaurants, as of 2014, including five in Canada and nine in the U.S.[6]

Locations

There were ten locations, as of 2016.[7][8] In Canada, E&C restaurants operate in Calgary, Toronto,[9] and Winnipeg.[10] Previously, there were restaurants in Edmonton[11] and Vancouver.[12]

In the United States, E&C restaurants operate in Boston's Financial District,[13] Chicago,[14][15][16] Seattle,[3] and Washington, D.C.[17][18] Previously, there were restaurants in Philadelphia[19] and San Francisco.[20]

Reception

In 2001, Anne Spiselman of Crain's Chicago Business said, "If you ever wondered why British food traditionally has had a bad reputation, eating at Elephant & Castle will provide some insight."[21] In 2011, Ben Small of Newcity said, "E&C did a great job of recreating the world renowned pub fare. The batter was delectably crispy and the chips were chunky and well-cooked".[22]
