About The Rosy Hue
Sitting on the corner of the two-acre Elephant Park development in Elephant & Castle, The Rosy Hue is a classic neighborhood pub, serving up delicious food all day alongside drinks and seasonal cocktails from local breweries and distilleries.
The site is inspired by the rich history of the area and its 19th-century Penny Gaff dancing halls, with the name inspired by the rosy glow that appears on the cheeks of those who frequented there.
