About The Elephant Crossing

The Elephant Crossing is a brand new Mexican bar and restaurant in the heart of Ironbridge serving delicious tapas-style dishes and cocktails. The name comes from a famous local event in 1932 when an elephant marched across the Ironbridge to promote Chapman’s Zoo-Circus. Expect an outstanding selection of drinks including show-stopping cocktails and a tasty selection of tequilas with Mexican street-style food prepared by Chef Martin Lewry who has returned to the UK after five years as Head Chef at the Harbour Club in Puerto Calero, Lanzarote.

We had a meal on 17th February. The food was fine, but the waiting time was too long, around 40 minutes. The restaurant was not busy, so I'm not sure why it took so long. On the upside, we had another drink in the small bar afterwards, and had a really interesting chat with the waitress (Manager?), who was so informative and entertaining about living and working in Ironbridge. Her contribution really made the evening for us.

We had a cocktail masterclass and food, we had such a fab night with our host Eve, with some great food, a fun relaxed atmosphere- would highly recommended

Really disappointed… My partner and I wanted to come here for Valentine’s Day (as we have done in previous years) and booked it well in advance to secure a table (weeks before the 14th) … when we rang I specifically asked for a table downstairs and because I had booked it so early in advanced we didn’t think this would be a problem. We arrived quarter to 5 (15 minutes prior to booking time) - we were directed downstairs but then told our table would be upstairs! At this point, there were two tables for two set up and ready to go! I explained that when I booked we only wanted a table downstairs but was told it wasn’t possible! Due to being so disappointed we left the restaurant! I understand the pressures of booking on a busy day, but fail to see why we couldn’t have had one of the free tables that were available at that time - were other people giving preference over us?? Bookings weeks in advanced should have secured us a table where we had requested! Extremely disappointed as the seating area downstairs is a totally different environment to the top! We think twice before booking again on a special occasion!

Awful experience. Stone cold food.. including chicken, which is worrying. Very bland food, no Mexican taste at all. Poor service. Will not return.

1st time visit to the lovely Elephant Crossing in IronBridge and it was absolutely amazing, fantastic atmosphere great service and unbelievably amazing food. Cocktails and Sangria were fantastic and the choice of dishes for Vegetarian or Vegan diets was fabulous. Will definitely be back on our next visit and maybe even squeeze in a visit to Shrewsbury to pop into the sister restaurant as well.

We've been here multiple times and we keep coming back. The food is always outstanding. The staff are friendly and attentive. This is a little gem in Ironbridge that we came across by accident. The only thing that would make it better would be if they served burritos all day long and not just for brunch ;)
