Fork 'n' Ale Taproom & Kitchen in North Somerset

We have been to the fork n ale many a time and have always thoroughly enjoyed it, raved about it to our friends and family and even had our sons 16th birthday celebration here as it’s his absolute favourite….however after visiting this week we were very disappointed with the change of chef/menu. Although the food we had was good, it was not amazing like it was before and certainly won’t be rushing to go back. We are so sad about this. Staff were still super friendly and it’s still a great atmosphere but food was normal pub food in my opinion.

Nice small place reasonably decorated. Few tap beers and real ales available. Staff were friendly and polite. Some nice real ales. Enjoyed my visit.

Mixed bag. I just can't get past the prices of the food. It's daylight robbery. £16 for an elaborate plate of chips ffs. However I do like the taster pallettes they do £6 for 4 ciders, largers or beers. (Not sure of the measures)also service was good

We choose the Fork n Ale for a Saturday night supper because they serve a range of beers and they are dog friendly! The staff made us very welcome, we were given a good table,and the beer didn’t disappoint. The surprise was the quality of the food especially as two of us are vegetarians. The chef made us a special that was not on the standard men. We had pasta with a spicy salsa, quick fried mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, topped off with plenty of vegan chorizo. The flavours were intense and the servings were generous. We will definitely go again

Well..... the smash burger is £15, comes with a "portion" of chips, they come in a mini child's cup size so its just about a mouth full if you was to put them all in at once, the burger was ok. Tbh it tastes just like a McDonald's burger, two small burgers in the roll, some cheese and greenery, you would literally be better off spending £15 in McDonald's buying a couple of quarter pounders and chips, it would be a more substantial meal, the waitress was super nice, The barman... not so much, wasn't super helpful when my friend asked for a salad side. It seemed like it was too much of an ask!! New management in there and all the menus have changed from before where it was a good selection, but now it was a small selection of sub par meals, more like over priced snacks now. Would not recommend and definitely not going back any time soon. Such a shame!

Great pub, couldn’t try the food that seemed highly rated as the chef doesn’t work on Tuesday evenings, nice ale though, and lovely bar staff

I have not eaten here yet, but there is a great atmosphere, and the staff are fantastic 👏

Excellent Sunday lunch, great range of beers on tap, very friendly and efficient staff, still one of Weston's nicest places to socialise if you want to avoid the jostle and flickering screens of many other pubs and bars.

I am an older lady and went to Weston-super-Mare to meet friends and family. This pub was fantastic. I didn't feel out of place. Have to say tho pictures of food do not do it justice. Delicious. Staff friendly and professional. Will definitely recommend to everyone I know

I was recommended this bar by friend who lives nearby so visited prior to the football. Great selection of beers with great service! Hands down the best bar in Weston Super Mare! 🍻

Great food, service and ale in relaxed surroundings.

Great evening out food was just delicious and the staff were so friendly very warm atmosphere here too definitely going back very soon 😊

We enjoyed a superb Sunday roast here. Portions were generous, everything was perfectly cooked, and the side of cheesy leeks was really tasty. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Customer service is obviously a priority here and we have no hesitation in recommending Fork and Ale to anyone who enjoys great food and excellent service in a pleasant environment.

The Sunday roast was amazing, great quality food and beer with lots to choose from. The service was a little slow for drinks but the team were incredibly friendly and helpful!

Great Ales n Freindly Staff, excellent Sunday lunch , well recommended

We had a great Sunday lunch here. The food was absolutely delicious. Best pork I have ever had and superbly cooked vegetables. Great selection of beers too. Very friendly and attentive staff. Don’t miss this place if you are in Weston Super Mare.

Epic roast! Large party well catered for. Plenty of gravy, fresh veg, big portions, crispy crackling, huge Yorkshire.

Food was outstanding! I had the pulled pork lasagne and it was better than any lasagne I've ever had!! Beer was delicious and well kept. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Very nice choice of real ales in a pleasant environment

Out of this world burgers and very good staff. Service was prompt and probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I can’t thank my son enough for the treat! It was very busy so probably best to book ahead. But I’m still dreaming of that Stilton and bacon burger! First class beer too. Well sampled!

Came for dinner last night, was advised delay in food, we were happy to have a drink and wait as in no rush, they gave us complimentary pretzels with hot cheese that were to die for. When the food did arrive we were not disappointed. Great, food, great service and good selection of beers

We had a family gathering at the Fork n Ale just before Christmas. Have to say that everything already mentioned by others was true! Great welcome and service from staff, amazing food and a very friendly atmosphere - including for our dog who was also made most welcome. Someone previously said this is something of a hidden gem - I would agree totally. Definitely want to visit again. Thank you Fork n Ale!

Didn't eat but the ale was good.

We had the most amazing experience thanks to Erin. She is so attentive and her personality shines through the service she provides. A big asset to any hospitality provider. Thanks Erin for making our visit so special!

What a great experience A friend had booked the whole pub for our Christmas Meal and it was a great experience The food was amazing and served with a smile . The turnkey was succulent and with the roasters and veg was absolutely delicious

My first time visiting the area, great atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. Absolutely fantastic food 😋

Such a great evening. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Definitely making this place a regular for us

The Best Sunday Lunch in WSM! Incredible Sunday lunch!! Came here with my mum and sister, and we had the best time. The staff are so friendly and great at what they do. The roast is MASSIVE but also very high quality and absolutely delicious. Great bar selection, draughts and spirits all have an independent vibe. I've been told the hot dogs are banging so looks like I'll be heading back! This will the first restaurant I look to whenever I'm back in WSM!

A surprising cosy venue with incredibly knowledgable and friendly staff! Walked in to a staff member dancing behind the bar which is always welcoming, two staff members having tasted the specials and recommending, which was absolutely incredible (if duck is ever on the menu, get it!) and could only be topped by the drinks choices and staff knowledge and enthusiasm. This was our first time here but we will definately be returning. We’ve heard good things about their Sunday roasts and after a Friday night meal, I can only imagine the quality but we will be back to try it out. A hidden gem.

What a wonderful warm and welcoming pub, dog friendly too! Fantastic food and service and the beer paddle was delicious!

Amazing food and service, great beer and dog friendly too! Perfect

Loved it! Cosy atmosphere, great service and delicious burgers! Honestly, one of the best burgers i've ever had :)

Not a good menu. But good food.

Amazing food and lovely staff. We were looking for a good lunch in Weston and we were very pleased with our choice. The staff at Fork n Ale are obviously passionate about what they do. The food was excellent (dirty fries with chilli for me and Lasagna for my wife. I also recommend the ale taster paddle. 4x quarter pints for £6 Staff are very welcoming and food is served with an eye for detail. Relaxed atmosphere, comfortable Seating and good prices. I can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu.

Previous visit for dinner some time ago was good, latest visit for drinks - good atmosphere and choices for drink and bar snacks

Popped in selling refuge from the carnival that was in town and was not let down. I mean I've been here many times in all it's various guises but the current owners have nailed it 100%...the decor is funky, the staff very friendly and drinks are good quality and range. Had food here once a while ago and wasn't let down. Awesome place.. Comfy sofas in one corner. A propper boozer where food isn't the main thing you can do there... Keep it up guys and yes.. Definitely worth a visit. Either for a long session with mates/loved ones or a pop in kinda thing. It's great.. And it's right in town where not everything is actually that great

A hidden gem. Great atmosphere, wonderful food and an amazing choice of beers, all accompanied by brilliant service and live music. I can thoroughly recommend a visit.

Great place for a Sunday Roast and a Beer or two 🍻

Have visited many,many times. Never a disappointment. Probably the best Sunday lunch in Weston-super-Mare

Lovely pub - a proper find! Great Sunday roast, really friendly service & Sheppey cider on tap. What more do you need 🤷🏻‍♀️ looking forward to coming back with the doggo. 🐶

Great real ales and generous pub grub. Dogs are welcomed. Loyalty card scheme too! 😁

Out standing pub, The food was just unreal. Staff super friendly and couldn’t help enough. Would recommend to anyone, especially If you’re after a good hearty meal after a cold day at the beach ! They also do doggy dinners ! We will be returning with our pup to sample the menu !

Love the pub , friendly bar staff ,great choice of real ales and and a popular venue for gin drinkers .didnt eat but the food looked amazing.

Popped in while on a daytime pub crawl. Great pub, good variety of drinks available, friendly staff...will be visiting again soon.

Wow!! What an amazing gem of a find ...Wonderful public house with exceptional service wonderful staff great ales .. will have food next time but what went past myself and partner looked totally amazing and fresh

They could not do enough for us. So friendly and welcoming. Host was brilliant and the beers were good too. Food was good. Try the burgers for sure. Good lovely atmosphere and they will look after you. Went with the family and burgers were impressive. Can imagine it's a great pub to have a few drinks at too. Shame some of the beers weren't on that night. They also have a great barrel selection, but we didn't sample any that time. Maybe next time 😉

Great traditional pub. Good choice of beers. Nice friendly staff. Well worth a visit

Excellent food and service staff friendly regards to chef for top quality. The only downside is that they were out of stout which I was looking forward to however the ales my wife and I had were extremely good.

Excellent fish finger sandwich at lunch!

Great food. Takes cash. Recommend!

Went in for a drink while visiting the area. The place is superb and I really wish it was in my home town. You have all done a super job on the place and if I am ever in the area again, I will certainly come and visit again.

Wow what a great pub . We popped in for drinks at 3pm and had nice chat with staff booked table for 5pm as Seabass was on the special board . The staff ,service and food was Forking Lovely .!!!. The seabass was cooked to perfection so compliments to the chef ☺ 😊 Finished it of with Drinks and a yummy Desert at a brillant price Thanks to Everyone

One of the best Sunday lunches we have eaten in some time. Great service food and portions, perfectly cooked pork and plenty of perfect accompaniments , roasts and veg. Lovely Yorkshire pudding and optional extras , large chipolatas with honey and cauliflower cheese. (Just the best ever) Staff and wine list were excellent…. Loved it ! We will be back .

Real ales and good food. Often have bands on so check their social media. The choice is fantastic and the atmosphere fun and buzzy in the evenings (quieter during the day obviously). The roasts are the best around but definitely ring ahead and book. It's always busy and fun.

Really nice house burger. Ok it was more than I normally pay for burger, but the extra cost was worth it.

Really wonderful find, we happened upon this place looking and weren't disappointed. Friendly welcome, delicious beers od draught or keg with an opportunity to try four small glasses for a taster. We had two selctions from the specials; the trio of Thai sea bream served on a bed of noodles and vegeatbles, and the venison burger with stilton. Both were delicious. Service was very friendly and the whole place had a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Just for a drink, very friendly. But remember not to pronounce this name of the pub as fast as you can. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lovely atmosphere, super interesting decor, stellar choice of ales, drinks etc and banging grub! Chicken burger is spicy, beware, but the food tasted great! Set back from the seafront so a bit more chilled and no children on our visit. We would come back here for sure if we come to Weston again.

A great person B centrally located in Weston-super-Mare. Wonderful Sunday lunches. Definitely need to book. Lovely service from a great team. Very popular, and highly recommended.

Fantastic pub, with great staff and an excellent range of beers, ciders and spirits. The Sunday roast is top quality, quantity and great value. Visited again in August 2024 - outstanding food and service once more

On a busy Sea Shanty festival night the staff managed to feed 12 of us with hot, tasty meals with a smile and fantastic customer service. Each one on us enjoyed our food and it was really good value. Well done to everyone at the Fork and Ale.

Popped in at the start of the Shanty weekend for their singalong night. The staff are so friendly, the beer was amazing and the people in there were just really friendly. We didn't have food but were told that their Sunday lunches are to die for.

A very high quality Sunday lunch, with extremely well cooked meats, and variety of veg. Absolutely superb. Very friendly and accommodating staff and great atmosphere, thoroughly recommend a visit👍

Great staff as always on our visits to Weston. A must go to and recommend to everyone

Didn't eat, but this is a lovely friendly local in the middle of Weston-super-Mare

Sunday lunch. Excellent service and quality food

I only popped in for a quick drink and found there was a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. I would definitely visit again.

Sunday roast for 4 was great. Prompt service. Lovely portion. Paddle of ale topped it all off too

Just non alcoholic lager on Thursday no food ordered, only Asahi 0.0 available. As is usual in these establishments, bottled beer is overpriced, although establishments claim they are competitively priced. A range of other beers and lagers was available. Nice atmosphere and pleasant and efficient staff.

Whilst the centre of Weston-super-Mare is basically a giant rehab centre, this is a lovely pub. Friendly staff, good food, good beer, good music, and a good atmosphere. Worth a visit to escape the zombie apocalypse that's taking place outside.

Nice food, good price and good service

I was refused alcoholic drink as did not have id with me and been refused to show the electric one. I am 25+. Never getting back there again. *Added after receiving the reply - Evasive reply received not explaining why picture of my id would not work.

One of the best sunday lunches I have had in a pub. Large portion. Ordered the beef for £15 also ordered sides £4 each the creamed leeks were particularly good. The staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommend and will return again soon.

Visited from South Wales today. Great kwirky bar with a good atmosphere and great food . Staff were very attentive. They had great recommendations on where we should go . Would definitely visit here again in the future.

Such a warm welcome. Good beers and excellent food.we had the Moules and a burger. Very good quality. Just around the corner from Premier Inn ( Seafront) staff so friendly. Definitely worth a visit

Brilliant roast, atmosphere and staff in decent setting.

Came here a few times on my unplanned visit to Weston. Was served by Sandra and Jack and they were both fantastic. Great pub, great food, great music and great beer. What more could you ask for.

On a quick visit to Weston-Super-Mare and liked the look of the reviews. They weren't wrong!! From the guest Ales to the Turf n Turf Burger everything was superb. Excellent service, a good atmosphere and the Burger was amazing. Don't try to eat it with your hands though - it'll get messy!!

The food was amazing and reasonably priced, the staff were great & it was a good atmosphere.

A rare gem of Weston Super Mare. Food is always bang on, vegetarian options are also amazing. I had the veggie dog with chilli, and home made brownie with cherry ice cream. My husband has had most burgers on the menu and can confirm they are all spectacular. The service here really makes it a special experience, the lady with short hair especially- she always makes us feel at home.

Lovely dinner with a group of 6, team so friendly, food delicious, very accommodating. 👍

Fantastic dirty fries, friendly service and a nice selection of ales.

Finally made it to the Fork N Ale for a roast. I've already been here for drinks and loved the vibe there. The roasts are really good value, roast beef was £15, which is what I had. Big portions off beef, they were nice and tender as well. Roast potatoes weren't amazing, but were ok. Veg was which was carrots, parsnips, broccoli, courgettes and green beans were cooked well. Yorkshire pudding was soft and fluffy, not to crispy. Special mention goes to the red wine gravy which was thick and plentiful, the cauliflower cheese which had the right ratio of cheese to cauliflower. Also the meat stuffing was super tasty.

Fantastic, the food and drinks are incredible the staff are brilliant. This might be the best spot in weston.

LOVE THIS PUB !!!! Ended up in WSM on a great Saturday, popped in here for a drink n chat after lunch. So wish this place was local, as I'd drink here a lot. Fantastic selection of beers for me, lovely Cognac for wifey, brilliant atmos. Lively but not loud, comfy seats n sofas, very cosy shabby chic. All the food leaving kitchen looked epic, and those eating around us were making the right noises, so we'll defo eat here next visit.

The place is good massive portions and good quality food little bit pricey but worth every penny The lady who served us was great on the ball all time we was there

One of the best burgers I've had. Quick service, food was delicious and fresh 😋 9/10 only thing missing would be onion rings 😂💯💯

Only drank in here. Never ate Good service and good selection of wine

The place to be ... check FB ...

went in with friends on saturday for some lunch - fantastic food and service as always - great to have such a good local pub with very high quality standards and reasonable prices.

We came in when there were only three tables served. Waited half an hour and was completely ignored. They didn't greet us or even ask to take our drinks. We've been completely ignored and made to feel invisible and unwelcome.

Great pub in the centre of Western super Mare. Excellent choice of beers and spirits . Very clean and tidy. Knowledgeable and efficient staff. Had the Turf 'N' Turf 8oz burger , very well cooked and presented. Told they do a good Sunday lunch , but booking well ahead is recommended. Call in you will not be disappointed.

Great beer lovely service lovely atmosphere wonderful staff. 🙏

Loved it here. We booked on a Sunday and must say we were very impressed with the Sunday lunch. We pretty much ordered all the side dishes and they were all delicious. Service was great, the ladies serving us were very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend you try it out, we will definitely be going back again!

We ate here Saturday and Sunday and were really impressed. The Sunday roast and bread and butter pudding are so delicious. We will definitely eat here again the next time we are in Weston, the staff are so friendly, including the chef. A fantastic find, really nice place to chill with great music.

Lovely staff friendly and welcoming. Foid delicious, plenty of choice. Definitely be recommending to family and friends

Nice staff, good food, interesting selection of drinks. Would recommend!

Not only one of the best restaurants in town day to day, they offer one of the best sunday roasts in Weston and the surrouding area. Book ahead as they book up quickly

Wonderful food and lovely place! Young blonde girl who served me was lovely, would recommend.
