25.01.2022 This weeks Live Music Friday act is Azrael Spiryt! Azrael is a local 18 year old musician, who moved to Bathurst this year from Rotorua, New Zealand. Although her young age, Azraels vast experience in musical theatre and large singing events, has given her a great stage presence and entertainment pizzazz which stems well beyond her age.... She has an extremely diverse collection of cover songs in her repertoire, and will bring a new sound to the Elephant. Bistro open 6pm-9pm! So book now and come on down for Live Music Fridays kicking off at our new time of 7pm-9pm and get behind our local up and coming artists.

25.01.2022 To celebrate arguably the best day of the week, we thought we would share one of our Friday Favourites from our menu! Recommended by our celebrity from last weeks People of the Pub feature Darcy, this weeks Friday Favourite HAS to be our popcorn chicken. Available in a small or large size, our popcorn chicken is served with chips and a side sauce of your choice- and is guaranteed to please. Come on in tonight and try it, with a $5 schooner or basic in our happy hour between 5pm-7pm.

21.01.2022 MMM.... Thursday $10 chicken schnittys? There's nowhere I'd rather be Head over to our beautiful pub on Keppel St to discover why our pub grub is so great!

20.01.2022 We thought we would spice up People of the Pub this week, and feature one of our fantastic locals that frequents the Elephant. This week it is all about Brent! You might recognise Brent as being our fantastic and charismatic musical bingo host, who comes in on a Thursday to entertain the locals, and create a lively and fun atmosphere for all involved... (and we think he does a darn good job at it!) ... With his wit, charm and unmatchable personality- we love seeing his smiling face here at the Elephant (and we’re sure you do too) Brents favourite meal at the E&C is a classic schnitty (which we’re sure he thinks taste even better on a Thursday for $10), but he also loves a sneaky snack of our spicy jerky from behind the bar. His drink of choice is an ice cold VB for a hard earned thirst; and he can’t go past a Winnie gold and a chinwag out the back with the locals from time to time. His favourite NRL team is the Parramatta Eels, and he is a treasured player of our local football team- the Panorama Goats. So not only is Brent a valued local to us for his musical bingo efforts week after week, he is also a top bloke that has been frequenting and supporting our pub... and the wider community for quite some time- for which we are so grateful. Thankyou Brent for being such an appreciated and respected local to our pub, and we are so proud to feature you this week for POTP!

12.01.2022 This weeks people of the pub legend is our awesome waitress, Meg. Meg has worked in our bistro now for 4 years to keep her busy during school, and her bubbly and friendly nature makes her an awesome addition to our little pub on Keppel. Meg has got a couple of weeks to go before her big 18th, so she’ll have to stay on the fizzy drink for just a bit longer.. but when she’s 18 we will keep you updated on her chosen alcoholic drink of choice Her favourite meal at the E&C is a c...lassic schnitty (which coincidentally are only $10 tonight), and she pairs it with veg AND salad (health queen alert), but you can’t forget the aioli. When she has free time (which is very rare as she’s a workaholic) she loves to go op shopping, or go for a little adventure in the great outdoors. When asked what her favourite thing about working at the Elephant is, she says she loves the dynamic. The staff and customers she holds dear, and you rarely see her without a smile at work because of it. As she’s been here so long, she knows most people by name, is a pro at her job, and always makes everyone feel so welcome- she truly is a gem. Meg has just finished her HSC, so the world is her oyster but she is very interested in Zoology- with an end dream to be a zookeper. She’s planning on moving to Armidale next year to study and pursue her dreams and we will miss her very much. But dont wory, her smiley face will be back on Uni holidays YAY! Thankyou so much Meg for being such a valuable addition to our team, and for embodying the values of the E&C. Your bubbly personality and drive will get you so very far in life, we are certain of it.

03.01.2022 This weeks POTP post is one of our fantastic bar girls, MEGAN! If you’ve been around our little pub on Keppel for a while, you sure would recognise this lovely face- pouring a cold and frothy or throwing back some witty banter to the locals. Megan has been with us here for around 2.5 years now, and she absolutely loves the people she works with, and our lovely patrons. Megan is a little bit of a workaholic, but claims when she’s not working she loves a drink (frosty fruit c...ocktail is her fav), and a cheeky slap on the pokies Her favourite meal that Louise whips us is- ANYTHING Italian- pizzas, pastas, breads...you name it, Megan will love it. For a little bit of a background on Megan, she made the big move down from Brisbane a few years ago, and loves the laidback life Bathurst has to offer. However, that does mean she is a QLD supporter (sorry to all you normal people aka blues fans- its a bit of a tough wound still I can imagine).. but although a QLDer, we do love her all the same. A fun fact about Megan is she has a LEGITIMATE phobia of toads and frogs- even a picture of them will set her off but im not giving you any ideas!!!! That wraps up our final instalment of People of the Pub for this year (sad reacts!! But don’t worry it’ll be back- we’ve got plenty more staff and locals to feature!) However we’ve got some fun Christmas posts that we’ve got up our sleeves, to keep you all entertained until January, so stay tuned Thankyou Megan for all that you do here at the E&C, your amazing efforts never go unnoticed and we are so lucky to have your smiling face and bubbly nature as part of our fabulous bar team.

03.01.2022 The schnitzels are $10, it’s free to play, there’s a stack of great prizes and it’s completely chance based! There is no prizes for being the smartest - only for being the luckiest. Good Wholesome Family Fun

02.01.2022 Its Thursday!! ...and that means $10 Chicken Schnittes with chips & gravy is here. Come on in for lunch in the sun, or at dinner time with musical bingo at 7:30pm and enjoy a deliciously cheap schnitty with some quality entertainment

02.01.2022 Don't forget trivia tomorrow night here at the E&C! Our new time is 7pm, so grab your mates this week and come along. Don't worry to all you avid origin watchers though, the game will still be on in the bar.. right next to the cold kegs

02.01.2022 Wow! Thankyou SO much for all of the support on our last, "People of the Pub" post. We thought because you liked it so much, we would do another this week! This weeks legend that works AND plays at the Elephant, is none other than one of our bar guys... Darcy! You will regularly see our Darcy behind the bar throughout the week, pouring your favourite cold and frothy, shakin up a cocktail, or infecting the people of Bathurst with his smile. But when he's not doing that, you ...can find him studying, playing up on the OTHER side of the bar with an ice cold Tooheys New, or rounding up cattle on his farm in Northern NSW (he really is a man of many talents). Darcy's favourite meal at the E&C is the popcorn chicken, and his favourite footy team is the Raiders (yes, he has lost a fair bit on Sportsbet, but we dont hold that against him ) Darcy quite literally embodies our slogan of, "Theres no place for a sad face at the Elephant & Castle"- as he really is ALWAYS smiling. He is an asset to our team, and we love having him around. So thankyou for all you do Darcy- you're a hard worker, and you make everyones day a little brighter- and for that we are so grateful P.S- He's covid safe, and HOW GOOD does he look in pink!?
