                                                          We have frequented the Congresbury Arms for many years but hadnt been for a few months. We had heard about the menu changing and but it seems that instead of changing the menu the owners have simply reduced the number of dishes available. My starter of tempura cauliflower was nice however it was more like fish and chip batter and was out of the freezer, my wifes scallops were also from the freezer. My main of fish and chips was very good however my wifes chicken roulade was raw in the centre. Im at a complete loss as to how a chef can cut a chicken breast in half and not notice that it is uncooked. We shall not be back until the Congresbury Arms changes hands again, which wont be long if the current owners dont do something to drastically improve things.

The only slight gripe I have is that the food was not hot, plates and food were only warm but it was still lovely. Will definitely be back.

                                                          Lovely place to dine. Nicely decorated friendly staff and really great food. We had a pork Sunday roast and a vegetarian nut roast with a side of Colli cheese was absolutely delicious. Will look forward to going again.

                                                          We were there from 6:45 until 8:50 in that time other than the initial question do you want any drinks we were not asked, we had a 2nd drink as I went to find a server. Our food came out very fast, my partner ordered gammon the eggs arrived 5 minutes later with an apology that the chef forgot. My Mum’s pasta was very dry. My Thai curry was tasty but vey little, sauce & the chicken was lukewarm & just on the top, couldn’t eat the prawn crackers as undercooked.
