Who are we
Hi! We are Sonya, Ian and family. Having lived in Congresbury for over 20 years we wanted to share our love of this fantastic community by opening Congars Cafe in the heart of the village in Broad Street.
The idea to open the cafe came from us to provide another community meeting place within the village to prevent social isolation of all age groups.
Open 5 days a week, everyone is welcome and we aim to serve high-quality, locally sourced produce with a friendly welcome.
We try to source everything ethically and from local providers. The cakes and breads are provided by local bakery Winnies and the coffee is supplied by Wogans, based in Bristol. We serve breakfasts and lunches, which include jacket potatoes, soup, sandwiches and toasties. We also sell a range of beautiful hand-made gifts from local crafts-people.
We are part of the Chatty Cafe scheme, and are on the local breastfeeding register and welcome families. We also welcome local ramblers, dogs and their owners and cyclists and are advertised on many of these organisations websites.
Read on to see what’s on offer when you pay a visit to Congars Cafe.
Eat and drink…
Our menu is varied from breakfasts, to light lunches, which include sandwiches, toasties, salads, jacket potatoes, as well as coffees, teas and various other drinks. We offer seasonal menus such as Ploughman’s lunches, cream teas and homemade soup.
We use many local businesses, such as Wogans for our coffee, Winnies for our cakes and bread and Rowan Tree Bakery for her lovely chocolate brownies and our freshly made home baked cakes, where we use ingredients from our friends at Restore Congresbury. Don’t forget our delicious Chew Moo ice creams, and recently we started selling soft drinks from Bradleys and wines from The Winscombe Wine Shop.
Craft…
We stock a range of locally made crafts such as, jewellery from Eyres Jewellery, fabric made items from Julia’s Sewing Room and glass by Mydsomer Studios. These are just our regulars! Other crafts make an appearance from time to time so please pop in to see what’s new.
Functions and events…
We offer buffet platters to be taken away, these are perfect for office meetings or training days. If you’re looking for cold buffet options for an event such as a christening or a funeral then we would be happy to help, just get in touch.
The cafe can be hired for private functions, and we also offer cream tea afternoons, why not upgrade to include prosecco.
We regularly hold craft workshops run by Sarah from Mydsomer Studios. These monthly fused glass workshops at the cafe are available to book onto - check the Diary page for dates and more information on these.
