We booked this as a stopover on the way home from Plymouth to Yorkshire. Booked a superior room which turned out to be on the front corner of the hotel near the traffic lights and roadworks. …

Stopped in for some lunch whilst cycling to Yatton. Lovely beer garden, with nicely separated tables. Had some of the sandwiches which were delicious! Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

We had previously eaten at the Bath Arms in Cheddar - a sister property - and enjoyed it, so decided to give the Congresbury Arms a try. We were not disappointed, the food was excellent. It was obvious there was some serious culinary talent in the kitchen and the front of house service was impeccable. We ate off the special lunch menu and both had a main course and sweet - portions were generous. The old historic inn at the heart of the village was bright and airy with a welcoming atmosphere. We noticed a large attractive garden, which would be perfect in summer. Oh and there was a large car park too.

So, as a local to the pub, we have been going there for a number of years, mainly after work, we run a car sales down the road, on Saturday the 17th, we decided to go to the pub garden and have a drink which as mentioned, we do quite regularly, usually during the summer months.We were in the queue at the outside bar, to which we were told ‘sorry chaps, someone will be out to serve you in around 5 minutes’2 of us decided to venture into the building and order drinks to save time, the very nice lady behind the bar had started to complete our order, unbeknownst to my friends at the bar, myself and my other friend had been asked to leave due to being in ‘workwear’….before we ordered we did read the new signs that did in fact mention ‘workwear’ was not to be worn in the garden or inside the building….now I totally understand this is a nice establishment, with a nice ‘upmarket feel’However, this is where the issue is, our ‘workwear’ is a Black Immaculate polo shirt, smart shorts and regular black trainers….arguably a lot more presentable than many of other customers that we have seen previously in the pub garden.I do understand the reasoning behind the policy, but….if we were mechanics covered in oil, decorators covered in paint or plumbers covered in dirty horrible smelly water I wouldn’t argue….but we were essentially dressed in your ‘smart casual’ dress code….yet because we have a logo of our small local business….we were asked to leave?Absolutely ridiculous, please give this feedback to whoever felt it was necessary to turf us out without using any common sense.

Very disappointing food. One starter was returned as it was so bad- staff very helpful in this process. My husband's starter lacked seasoning. The fish and chips had very little fish and were extremely greasy. Would not recommend a meal here.

The staff are very friendly, service excellent and the breakfast was amazing. The room was clean, although the shower could do with some updating. I really enjoyed my 1 night stay and as a solo traveller wouldn't have any hesitation on staying again.

We stayed here before heading to Bristol airport, as it's not too far away. We were warmly greeted by the staff, who swiftly found us a table, although we hadn't booked. The food was delicious and our room was incredibly comfortable. …
