The Plough Inn in North Somerset

Our visit to The Plough Inn this Summer was nothing short of wonderful. This charming establishment in the heart of the village is the epitome of a classic English country pub, offering a warm welcome to both locals and visitors alike. The Plough Inn is particularly dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot for us as pet owners, a chance to relax with our furry family member. The landlord is notably hospitable, ensuring every guest feels like part of the community. His dedication is reflected in the well-curated selection of real ales and ciders, which are a treat for any enthusiast. The beer garden at The Plough Inn provides a serene setting to enjoy these beverages, especially during the warmer months. As for the food, the meals are hearty and satisfying, with the steak and pie standing out for their flavor and quality. These dishes perfectly complement the rustic, village atmosphere of the pub. Overall, The Plough Inn is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy traditional pub fare, excellent drinks, and a friendly environment. It truly captures the spirit of Congresbury and the surrounding countryside.

Very atmospheric cosy great service and great food and drink

We love this Pub! The service is always warm and genuine. The landlord is an absolute gentleman. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a proper pub. The missus and I look forward to our steak and pint at the plough all week and are never disappointed!

Amazing lovely pub food. Would come anyway but luckily it’s near Bristol airport as well

Great place - atmosphere food and service all brilliant!

Been barred for 10 years due to wife's dietary requirements my wife doesn't hold a grudge like the landlord does what u gonna do bar me you pathetic person

The food can take a little longer to be served but it's worth the wait..

I am a regular at this lovely village pub! A lovely selection of ales and good food. Nice people and great atmosphere 👌 I'm so lucky to have this pub so close! Whether you want a great pub garden in the summer or a roaring fire in the winter.

Stopped here for our evening meal en route to Bristol Airport. Made to feel very welcome despite not booking in advance. Busy with locals but landlord found us a nice table and we had a lovely meal. Burger and chips , and chicken and leek pie. Very tasty. Proper 'good' pub grub. Highly recommended! Very friendly, proper pub. Great !

Only popped in for a cheeky pint. Great selection of beers, friendly staff. Will definitely go back when next in the area.

A quiet little pub which seems to be a popular place with the locals as there are always a good few folks in. They do St Austell brewery beers here so I can get one of my favourite pints in. Not had food here so can't comment. The staff are very friendly and always welcoming. Atmosphere is quaint and plenty of nooks and crannies to have a pleasant pint with a mate or two.

very nice place great food and good atmosphere I will come back again

Excellent food and beer with very friendly staff. Thank you

Super. Nice roast beef baggette at lunch time, beef was excellent and looked as good as it tasted. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

I was very impressed by the friendly atmosphere of the pub and staff. We arrived without a booking and were made to feel very welcome, as it was Sunday I can only comment on the roast, we had chicken and it was delicious, as were the trimmings and the excellent value for money. Unfortunately I'm trying dry January but I was extremely tempted by the excellent range of real ales on tap. I would highly recommend a visit and shall definitely be returning next month! (Unfortunately I was hungry and didn't think to take any photos but the food looked delicious)

What can I say, nice range of bitters, well kept, cosy fire and a delicious plate of venison steak with red wine jus, mash and green beans. Can't wait to try the game pie next time! Perfect evening.

Sunday roast at it's best,most certainly the best in the area and a sensible price too. Dog friendly,highly recommended

Staff were polite, friendly, happy to help, prices a little high.No cups of Tea .tut tut.

Proper Pub, fantastic Ham egg and chips !!! Pint or two of Potholer also went down well

We were heading south on the M5 and looking for somewhere close by to stop off for dinner. After reading a few reviews online we decided to stop off at The Plough Inn and had a great evening meal. The food was proper pub grub well done (we had scampi and gammon) and it had a great atmosphere in an old traditional pub. I couldn’t believe how busy it was for a Thursday night and it was definitely better than the photos online. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Wish I had a local like this!

A traditional pub in the heart of Congresbury and just a few seconds drive from the main A370, this is very much a proper pub with a great beer selection, but some good food options. It’s not “gastro” by any means, but if you want good, hearty pub food it’s very difficult to beat. Since my last visit, the “Pie of the day” has morphed in to a choice of three listed on a sperate board. As much as I like a pie, I’ve been very disappointed in a couple of other pubs recently, one of which was basically just a pool of gravy under the pastry lid with literally two chunks of meat in it, and on another, a fish pie that was served cold. No such problems here, I opted for the Chicken, Bacon & Tarragon pie and what turned up was piping hot and bursting with filling under a crispy puff pastry lid. It was really very tasty, and the accompanying chips were well cooked to. A small salad was perhaps al little superfluous, but other than that it was great. Across the table, the Beef & Ale pie was just as good. Overall, a cracking pub and well worth a visit.

A great local pub, very busy with a lovely landlord. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Really lovely, proper pub. There was a friendly welcome, great choice of beer and local food, which was excellent. Sat in the garden to eat. Just perfect!

Lovey food. Large portions. Good chips. Friendly people.

was passing through, chanced it without booking for a Sunday roast. well it was a great pay off, that was an amazing roast... beef pink and full of flavour, gravy spot on, yorkie, vegs and roasters top draw. bar staff were lovely, even popped my head in the kitchen.... looks like there was only four of them running the show! well done guys. 10/10 thanks for squeezing us in. cheers

First time visit but won’t be the last. Excellent

We didn't eat but enjoyed a few pints

Had a great night. The food was perfectly cooked and presented The service was great. I can't wait to get back to Wrington and do it all again

A dish to remember.....i was also eating it the evening after!?!. Last nights dish at the convivial The Plough was so absolutely scrumptious i didn't want it to end; from the excellent chips to the superb 5* cordon bleu Barnsley Chops - cooked just to my tastes slightly fatty, juicy and sublimely tasty as lamb should be. I took the second chop home to be able to prolong the gastro delight....thank you to all concerned from the chef, staff, shepherd and of course the ultimate gesture by the sheep its self.

Nice pub. Lots of nooks and crannies if you want to cuddle your loved one, or have a private business meeting. Lots of choice of real ales. Food looks decent, but did not try.

Great food in a typical British pub . Service was friendly and portions good. Would recommend the pie “specials” . They had a veggie and a beef and ale option.

Great meal this evening, staff were really friendly and food was great.

We discovered this pub when visiting to watch the Morris dancing one evening. It has loads of atmosphere, with low ceilings, cosy rooms off the main dining and drinking area and a tiny bar which is approached on two sides. It's a very friendly, welcoming place, with a good selection of local beers, and as we wanted to support it we decided to come back for dinner the next evening. Would definitely recommend booking a table as most if not all were full quite early on on a Friday night. The menu isn't huge, but there is a specials board with a lot of choice - we ate venison stew which was hot, hearty and very filling, leaving us with no room for pudding. Portions are very large! The pub has a car park, but there is room in the roads nearby. Dogs are welcome too.

Great experience and welcomed by Gary as if a local.

Can't really review the food or the atmosphere, I've been emailing and ringing for days and they are not answering or returning emails. Booked elsewhere and won't be wasting anymore time on them

Fantastic, great food, great service. Highly recommended.

Only popped in for a drink with hubby. Lovely friendly pub. Staff were great.Will visit again

Superb pub.Excellent food and drink.

Fantastic traditional pub serving quality food and top drinks. One of best Sunday lunches ever had, gutted stopped severing Sunday lunches though as were delicious. Generous portions, great value and super tasty. Crispy fish batter and pie pastry was next level good. Was too full for desert sadly. Hound dog ale was amazing and lagers are always great. Huge garden too. Top service and friendly landlord, thanks!

Lovely food, Very friendly staff highly recommended

The Potholer went down too easy, it was a good job we had a break from 3 til 5.

Great real ales and friendly welcome. Cosy country pub

Lovely lunch, venison was fantastic. Thank you.

A proper pub, with a fabulous selection of real ales and a brilliant atmosphere, including in the dog friendly garden (I.e. lots of gorgeous pooches out there)

Great products at some great prices

Called in whilst my dog was at the local animal hospital. Best ham, egg and and chips I’ve had for years. Friendly staff and it was warm inside, everywhere else we went today was cold 🥹 Would definitely recommend if you are passing.

Always visit when we come to see our family in the village, and we just had the best meal there with the warmest welcome! Highly recommend this beautiful village pub

Love this local pub with local beers for local people. The owners Gary and Charlotte make this beautiful pub. Great good value food too. Recommend!

Consistently good, tasty proper pub grub. Lovely atmosphere in a clean environment with very courteous and helpful staff. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely old pub with open fires, lots of character. Very friendly staff and punters. Dog friendly. Good hearty pub food and great drink selection.

Excellent pub, very friendly staff, fantastic keg beers available for us ale drinkers, had lunch there several times, always been very good, one of my favourite local pubs

Fire was roaring, ales were pouring and the burgers are top notch! If you’re in need of a good watering hole the Plough Inn and a pint of Mena Dhu will sort you right out!

Not good on the ratings for food beer ok

Great little pub serving nice quality traditional pub food. Cask ale.

Loved it. Proper ale house serving simple but fantastic food. Everything you would want in a local pub ( i wish it was mine!) We were a party of 10 on a busy saturday night and can't fault the service, the food or the ambience. Staff and Landlord 10 out of 10.

Very friendly . Good beers and lagers. Very good pub food. Well worth a visit.

Friendly welcome , excellent pub food.

Great pint of cider after walking for almost 3 hours!

Came here with a few friends and we all had delicious meals. Our plates were all clean which says it all. Lovely range on the menu and interesting specials. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. Not sure you can ask for more from a village pub. Will be back and would definitely recommend.

Nice find on a Monday, dog friendly and helpful bar staff, the menu was great although we already knew we would have Steak and Ale Pie which was Pie of the Day! Very lucky indeed! Even has a car park

It's a picturesque little pub, we went for food but had a long wait which we didn't mind but it was so lacking in flavour so left us a bit unsatisfied. It was obvious the kitchen was stretched with so many orders at once. It's such a shame because the staff were absolutely lovely.

This is a fantastic little place. Food znd service were great. We ate in the beer garden it really was above our expectations

A proper Pub, well kept beer, lovely Panini style toasties.

Good old fashioned country pub (difficult to find these days) great choice of food and real ales... Met up with a group of friends, nice evening so eat outside, lovely beer garden and dog friendly, well recommend.....

Fabulous pub. Had a meal there on the 11 June 22 and it was fantastic. My granddaughter had her Christening party there on 12 June and the buffet was excellent. The staff were very friendly and did everything to ensure everyone had a great time. Thank you the Plough.

Nice , friendly place to have a drink or two. Garden area is great for an afternoon or evening.

Great pub lovely atmosphere large garden great choice of cider and beers

Very friendly pub, good beer & nice food.

Met friends at The Plough today for lunch, greeted by a friendly barman, ordered lunch which was amazing, Great portion sizes and fantastic quality.

Superb food and real ale, Tash the new chef is knocking it out of the park with innovative delicious specials, and well cooked and presented menu regulars. The food has always been fantastic, the beer is perfectly kept and served, and the atmosphere is how a proper country pub should be. There is nothing to not like about a visit to The Plough.

Lovely village pub. Great food and good range of Ales.

They were having problems getting a chef when we went so the choice was very limited. Several people like us realised there was not much choice at all!

Love this pub so much. A proper local with a great selection of drinks on tap and good value pub food. The landlord is the best. Glad to see it back flourishing.

Great place to drink, eat and have a catchup. Always a pleasure to pop in when we can.

A lovely, traditional old pub on one of the main roads through the village, this ticks all the boxes as far as a welcoming local goes, both in terms of the décor and the atmosphere. Staff and other customers all seemed friendly, and not having booked we managed to squeeze in to one of the last available tables in the front room. I thought I had heard that there were now a few more adventurous specials on the menu, although that didn’t seem to be the case on our visit with lemon & Thyme Chicken in a cream sauce being the only option, with the rest of the menu offering very much a traditional “pub grub” offering. I opted for the Beer Battered Fish & Chips and this was a decent and tasty dish served along with peas, a side salad and a (homemade?) tartare sauce. Sometimes battered fish can be a bit greasy, but that didn’t seem to be the case here and it went down well. I asked for tomato sauce and asked for a lot as I get through countless little sachets, and the friendly waitress was happy to oblige bringing me out a large ramekin of it. Across the table, the Scampi & Chips were also well received. All in all, a cracking pub and well worth a visit.

Good beer, pleasant atmosphere, pub food. Nice place

Nice locals pub good beer food looks ok but does not cater for vegarians or vegans

Nice, friendly, local pub. Had cheese and ham toastie, which was good. Came with a large portion of fries. It seemed from the walls that Morris dancing was the in thing !! Would visit again😊

excellent pub..highly recommended indeed 👌

A nice small pub. Friendly staff and good choice on alcohol

Great food and company great landlord 👍

Its Ok, a lovely warm old fashioned proper pub,it's just a shame it's spoilt ,or our visit was spoiled by the foul language which seems to be acceptable in here,very loud, frequent use of the F word and worse, the C word,by "grown middle aged men" sharing videos on phones etc 🙄The staff are friendly and it is a lovely place for a beer or two,but be prepared for the language!

We visited last evening with a friend. The menu has been updated, with additions like boeuf Bourguignon and slow roast pork belly, as well as fish, steaks and salads. The pork belly was delicious. We are lucky to have this gem of a pub in the village

Lovely quaint pub & friendly welcome. Food was excellent:)

Lovely pub, plenty of character.

Brilliant service and a beautiful pub if I lived it here i would be in there all the the time I loved it 😀 😊 😄

Excellent pub, loads of fine people. Good food but you have to order early to avoid disappointment.

We visited for lunch. food was good and the service was cheerful and helpful. dog friendly. The ham served was tasty and tender. The tuna toastie was good. Dcent portions.

Great traditional pub with an excellent variety of fresh beers. Good atmosphere, cosy and friendly!

Prompt service. Friendly barman. Food arrived really quickly too. Skin on chips lovely. Freshly caught haddock. Spacious inside. Quite busy on a Thursday teatime but still plenty of little side spaces and rooms to sit and socially distance. Car Park was full but side streets available. Price for haddock and chips around £11-12.

We visited as a family twice, during our holiday. The staff are very welcoming and the pub itself is really traditional. The ham, egg and chips were the favourite! The toasties were delicious too. The chips are really, really good 😋

Great to have a Mena Dhu but the head on it was a bit absent.

Dogs welcome in the bar but not kids : perfect!

Excellent food very reasonably priced super natural agricultural based pub with lots of artefacts & paintings to create unique ambience

Exceptional service from the staff, food was great and the host was so very hospitable we couldn't have asked for more ,definitely going back again

Lovely pub, and excellent food.

Lovely local pub with a friendly vibe; nice beer garden.

The Plough seems to be coping well with covid rules our group had a very enjoyable socially distanced lunch on Tuesday.

Great food and staff can't do enough for you.
