We went to the Elephant & Castle prior to a theatre show at the Princess of Wales. It was a Tuesday evening, but the place was fairly busy, although we didn't have to wait for a table. The food arrived within a reasonable amount of time, and was excellent. My only complaint would be that it's fairly noisy, and I that had to hunt down a waiter to refill my water. Overall, the food was of great value, and I would return again.
