   Everything was fine, the staff were friendly, efficient and attentive. The ambiance was bright, warm and welcoming and on arrival being addressed as Sir and Ma’am was a nice touch. Problem with a wobbly table was immediately addressed and a tepid first course soup was quickly replaced with a very hot replacement served with many apologies. All of the main meals were very acceptable and enjoyable although we were disappointed that quite a number of the courses viewable on line were not on the menu sheet given to us on arrival. All in all a very enjoyable experience, we will return.

   The ambience was strange and started with an apology that the food would take longer immediately suggesting something had happened in the kitchen! The food was perfectly fine but in an area of so much choice we will probably not visit again.

   An overall poor experience. Table booked for 7pm. Waited 15 minutes to give our drink then food order. Had to return to reorder as the chicken dish chosen was no longer available. Eventually had our main meals served at 8.30pm. We appreciated that they without us requesting removed the cost of our starters due to the wait. The table next to us order two steaks and had to reorder as they had no steaks left! When we raised that we hadn’t had a good experience the waiter explained they had thought and planned for a quiet evening due to the rugby being on - how ridiculous !!!

   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.
