The brunch menu features everything from pancake stacks to English breakfast as well as French toast and omelettes. 

Meanwhile, the evening menu has six different steaks on offer as well as burgers, small plates and salmon. 

It's the newest venture from the team behind The Elephant Crossing, which first opened its doors in High Street, Ironbridge, in July 2022 following a £10,000 business start-up grant from Telford & Wrekin Council

Occupying The Old Wine Bar, the restaurant promised a fine range of beers, wines and cocktails as well as a mouthwatering range of Mexican tapas dishes.

After the opening of Elephant Crossing, the owners ventured west and opened speakeasy The Elephant Underground.

Still to come from the team is a collection of boutique escapes around Shropshire and Telford, expanding throughout 2025.
