The Masons Arms

We dined here a couple of times last year and it was fantastic, yesterdays (Sunday) visit, whilst still being a fantastic establishment, the food didn't live up to previously. Crackling was missing from the porky belly ( which was fixed later after being pointed out). The roast potatoes need work, the beef had little taste and on the chewy side. The chips were extremely dry. The golden ale and Helles lager were good. The staff were friendly. I believe that this establishment has recently come into new ownership.

Dog friendly, had a nice dinner there. Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff. The food was good too, the starter calamari and soup were fine, the highlight, interestingly, was the fresh thin crust bread that came with the latter. I was happy to have that bread also accompany my BBQ ribs. Very good ribs, personally I could do with a bit less aniseed and sugar in the sauce, but still delicious. The steak pie was also very good. The portion size was above average and prices reasonable. The side salt and pepper wings were the only thing I did not enjoy, as they came covered in a (kind of weird, like a smokier teriyaki?) sauce. Clashed with my BBQ too. I wasn't too bothered as everything else was great, but I mentioned it at the end to the waitress as I really don't think many people expect salt & pepper wings to be covered in sauce. The waitress told me she'd take care of it, I said no need, I was only being helpful it was all fine, but she came back with a new receipt anyway, removing the wings. So there you have it, good food, great service.

A great afternoon! Visited with friends for Sunday lunch and we were all super impressed. Despite not having a booking, we were warmly greeted and soon found a table. Eugene looked after us and seemed to know what we wanted before we did!!! The roast dinners were delicious, piping hot and beautifully presented. No room for desserts, but will definitely be back soon. Thank you to David for fitting us in, on what looked like a very busy day. Highly recommended

Had such a great stay at the Masons Arms. David and everyone couldn’t do enough for us and we genuinely felt properly looked after. Great food, great drinks, great room (we stayed in Lyth cottage for 4 nights with 2 adults, 1 teenager, 1 eight yr old and a dog), great service, and great views. What more could you ask for. Will definitely go back. Thanks David and team.

Wonderful warm welcome from Eugen who, along with his colleagues, looked after us very well when we had dinner here. It's a lovely cosy pub/restaurant with comfortable seating and we were made to feel at home. Food is superb, excellent quality, nicely presented and the menu has dishes to cover all tastes. Will definitely be back!

Great pub with fantastic atmosphere and food. We were a large group with 3 toddlers and the staff, specifically Mihaela, were great at accommodating us and making sure we had everything we needed. The pub is super cosy with very charming rustic feel and the food was superb. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
