The Elephant & Castle stands as a grade II listed pub, tracing its origins back to the 17th century when it initially served as a butcher's shop. It wasn't until 1911 that the pub's transition began under the stewardship of the first female innkeeper. She resided here with her son and two daughters, marking a significant chapter in the pub's history. Adding to the intrigue and allure of the restaurant, The Elephant and Castle is the host of stories for its past residents, including a ghostly presence. Reputed to have appeared on several occasions, this spectral figure is often described as a mysterious figure dressed in black, vanishing into walls, leaving an air of mystery and wonder in its wake.
