Great lunch specials in a just painted English pub type setting.No problems sitting in the bar area by a wood fire and watching the tv screens etc , a great ambiance exists in this pub , even Darren comes here to eat , so the food has to be good .Keep up the good work all staff and owner of this icon in Geelong.
My husband and I are regulars and absolutely love the food, ambience and the staff are second to none! I recommend this Hotel highly! The best in Geelong!!!
Twosheds’ Geelong edition is taking off with another pub around the corner from the Commo, which we frequented on the Friday of the recent long weekend. The Elephant & Castle is a fantastic local pub near central Geelong. It’s owned by the out there former Mohawked mayor of Geelong. Eccentricity is the order of the day. The pub is a happening place adorned with the beautiful photo collection of the mohawked ex mayor. Great shots, with an emphasis on his favourite subject, Princess Diana. The food is standard pub grub, very well done. Think eggplant parmigiana and beer battered fish and chips. Friendly service and a good wine list too it off. Dixieland jazz bands on a Sunday add to the attraction. Lovely beer garden out the back for functions or general weekend chill outs is a bonus. Fantastic venue. It’s a 3.8 for me.
Beautiful and fresh seafood! Crispy chips! Delicious antipasto! A lovely nice pub that’s far better than the standard “pub” food. Can’t wait to return again!

Made a group booking for dinner recently. I booked for 7.00pm. Some members of the group arrived before me and they informed me that they had released our reserved table as we were considered a no show. They had me booked for 6.30pm. Had to wait approximately 45 minutes for our table to become available. Not a good start to the night. Meals were ordered and came out very staggered. I ordered the Roasted Cauliflower Salad. What I got did not match the description. I had a plate full of rocket with tiny bits of cauliflower, quinoa and chickpeas. Another member of the group ordered a salad with no dressing...the salad came dressed. When I contacted the venue re the booking/meal issue, they were very apologetic about the booking but with regards to the salad, apparently the cauliflower is supposed to be like cauliflower rice....this certainly wasn't mentioned in the description. I was expecting florets of roasted cauliflower.
Whilst the meals were described as OK to delicious by the other members in our group, I'm not sure I myself will return.
Great dinner for 4 tonite. Discerning guests and apprntly. a new menu. Starting platter was great a little heavy on capiscum and other boring veg. But Zucchini and Eggplant prawns Chorizo pretty impressive. 4 masons 2 Steaks and Chicken stuffed?? As well as calamari . . . 3 big passes Porterhouse was outstanding as were Cal and Eye Fillet. Stuffed Chicken was just ok. Greg service guy was brilliant Abbey friendly ... .we'll def. be back!
A family friendly place serving standard Aussie pub food which is done well. Good steaks with shoestring fries. Service is efficient and friendly.
Verdict: Common opal
We turned up unannounced with about 20 bikers and as we entered I thought we were going to be turned away however was greeted by a friendly bloke saying we were more than welcome to come in. Service was efficient, prices were spot on for both food and drink - Not a complaint out of our group, can't ask for much more really.
We went to the Elephant & Castle yesterday for lunch i have driven past do nany times its not funny and yesterday we had the opportunity to stop for a bit to eat. The staff were great couldn't be more helpfull and great with the kids the place had a really good atmosphere warm and friendly and clean. The food was very nice good size serves and fresh the kids meals were great. We will be back again next time we are in the Geelong area
Lazy Monday, couldn't be bothered cooking. Elephant was close by, good options. The sliders were awesome. I had 1x beef 1x chicken 1x pork and they were all really tasty simplistic but good. Thank god I didn't cook! Will come back for more in future. Would be good with cider
Both had steak sangas really good quality steak couldn't fault it. The staff really attentive and friendly even the good mayor was there talking away to the punters👍👍
Really good pub food. Generous portions. Great atmosphere and lovely beer garden. Good for kids and a fun trivia night on Wednesdays. Will definitely go back.
