The Golden Elephant

Seeing the number of positive reviews, my partner and I were excited about our visit to The Golder Elephant. Sadly the experience left us a little underwhelmed. Lovely setting, very welcoming and super friendly on arrival and have to say throughout. However, we were there...for the food which although we ate it all without any problem (mainly because the portion sizes were very small) the flavours were average.

I have eaten here several times and initially really liked it. Yes the portion sizes were small but the food was delicious.

Rice and noodles are circa a bowl and the size is miniscule. They are served in a small bowl that isn't even full. There is no excuse for serving dishes of this size (unless you have Michelin stars).

This is our local Thai restaurant and it consistently produces first class food and first class service.

We love this restaurant! The service is great and the food is fantastic probably the nicest tofu dish we've ever had (the yellow bean tofu). It was perfectly cooked and had a great sauce. The atmosphere is nice too and usually peaceful. Prices are also pretty reasonable. Definitely recommended! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20 Reserva una mesa ahora

Past 3 takeaway orders have been incorrect meat in vegetarian dishes. Never any apology for the inconvenience when you have to return it for the correct dish. They also ensure the wrong dish is given back, so you can bet it's given to someone else Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20

We had a very good dinner here. Lots of choice and friendly staff. Entrance rather dark off the main road, opposite the church.
