About The Elford

This lively Mount Lawley corner serves fast-paced pub energy and dialed-in plates right across from the Astor Theatre. Theatregoers time their pre-gig pints here for good reason—orders land quickly, and the bar never stalls on a busy shout. The kitchen turns out golden mac and cheese croquettes alongside blistered, hot pizzas made for sharing across breezy alfresco tables. Later in the week, locals drop in for flame-grilled steak specials and pints of the month, lingering outdoors as Beaufort Street rolls past.

  • Pre-Theatre Pitstop: Swift kitchen and bar service lets Astor Theatre ticket holders dine and drink without missing curtain call.
  • Coordinated Celebrations: Dedicated coordinators, seamless tab setup, and reserved alfresco spaces make milestone group gatherings effortless.
  • Daily Kitchen Specials: Weekly features like Tuesday steaks and Monday pizzas back up everyday crowd-pleasers like mac and cheese croquettes.

  • Paced Dining Before Astor Theatre Shows

    Prompt kitchen execution and attentive floor pacing ensure diners enjoy full sit-down meals without the worry of missing curtain times at The Astor Theatre.

  • Reliable Show-Night Dinner Turnaround

    Positioned conveniently near local show venues, the kitchen turns around hot dinner specials rapidly for evening theatergoers.

    Great place to visit before a show at the nearby Astor Theatre. We went on a Monday night and it was buzzing, no doubt other patrons had similar intentions to us. Food was very good, tasty, hot and served quickly.

  • Steak

    We had the Tuesday night special which was a steak. We eat out a lot and usually the special is an inferior cut but here, at the Elford it was wonderful. They served a lovely cut of meat cooked perfectly. It was top quality.
