Mason's Arms in West Somerset

Made to sit in an empty room because we had 2 dogs next to a pile of chairs an high chairs! No heating on and unappealing decor, floor an tables were grubby hence we did not eat.

Don’t bother asking for a wine list here - the landlord will just tell you “white or red.” Because of lack of a wine menu - I was embarrassingly trying to confer with my mum over which bottle she’d like to share while the landlord rudely said “hope you don’t take this long when ordering meals.” We should have walked out! Meal quality is the worst we’ve seen in a long time - I was allowed to swop my meal (an uncomfortable ask) and the pies out of the 4 meals ordered were the only thing edible. Not a nice atmosphere in there at all! We could not wait to leave!

We visited whilst on holiday in the area we ordered two meals of a quite small menu .When they arrived they were large portions ,hot and tasty ,my chicken Curry was the best I have ever eaten , Superb .Just one thing to watch out for they do not do food Monday or Tuesday evening ,We called in on the Monday but then returned on the Wednesday ,glad we did.

Have eaten here many times while on holiday, alway been a favourite, But went down there last night, was shocked under different owners prices have shot up wear we would have paid no more the £10 to £15 for mix grill, now £25 yard pushed to find anything under £17 to £18, and after all it's just a village local, disappointed we walked with our legs

A group of eight of us met here for lunch ona Friday and ended our weekend away here with roast lunch on the Sunday. This is a lovely little country pub and the landlord made us very welcome. The food was delicious, especially the roasts and we were too full to try the desserts! This pub is well worth a visit and at a time when pubs are closing, we wish the management team every success for the future.

We called in here yesterday while on a weekend break with family all staying in the area. Nice atmosphere, quite busy, had a lovely carvery, hot, fresh good quality food. Very nice! Helpful staff, they even went out of the way to prepare some other meals for the kids who didn't want carvery, which we really appreciated.. We'd definitely return if in the area again..

Good menu, slightly expensive however this is made up of big portions and piping hot(not microwaved ) food.

We had a dinner which was very enjoyable. Tasty and reasonably priced. The service was very good. I think that the chef could put less on the plate!

We booked a table beforehand but it wasn't overfilled with people good variety on the menu .The staff were very friendly and the food was served hot .we all ate different and all enjoyed our choice .the food was cooked fresh and the wait wasn't long

I hope my visit was not typical! After waiting at the bar for 10 minutes, I was eventually noticed by the owner or manager. I wanted to eat outside (brilliant sunshine), but he didn't want that. Told me that if I waited for an hour or so, they MIGHT be able to get me some food! This pub will wait a long, long time before they get my patronage!

We went to this restaurant as we had been visiting it during the week of our holiday and they were very nice and friendly. So as a treat on our last night we went for a meal. I ordered the duck breast at £16.95 and my husband ordered the Sea bass, whilst my son just wanted a cheesy jacket potato. When our meal arrived my duck breast turned out to be 4 small slices of overcooked duck which when pushed together you could tell it was not a whole duck breast, it would of struggled to reach 2oz. This was served with wilted dry rocket and veg that smelt like it had been hanging around in the fridge for too long. I was appalled but as they were very busy I didn't want to make a scene. To be honest the people who ordered gammon or lamb shank looked like they received decent portions so suggest you stick to this. All I can say is this ruined our last nights holiday. My husband was going to have a quiet word when we paid but again the landlord was too busy and didn't even ask him about the meal. Such a shame.

Ate here one night whilst in the area. Friendly busy little pub with a range of ales and cider. The usual menu. Service was fast and efficient. I only needed a light meal so their small sized fish and chips was perfect. The restaurant seems very popular.

My colleague and I decided to visit Masons Arms on Thursday 27th whilst we was at the West Somerst Railway Gala and had an enjoyable lunch ( Home made faggots with Chips and peas) and a pint of mild and half of lager (total just under £20.00) The service was attentive and friendly and the pub/restaurant had a nice comfy and relaxing atmosphere .

Happily took a late booking. Menu suited various preferences for all four of us.We had a good meal and generally enjoyed the evening.Friendly and accomodating staff- I'd say you probably cant go wrong...

.....as had been looking for a pub lunch. Stopped here and was taken away with the authenticity of the interior. Was by far the best food we had tasted during our Monday to Friday visit to Somerset. From service to quality the visit was outstanding. Thank you...wish we would've found you sooner

I use this restaurant 3 or 4 times a year and it has always provided good food at competitive prices. There is a large choice of dishes and always some daily specials. It is a very popular place and booking is advised.

We were not meant to be dining here, but had driven by a few times on our recent visit to the area..it looks so lovely from the outside we decided to call in and check out the menu, we were not disappointed... menu more than sufficient and both the food and staff were fab! Would definately recommend...wonderful find..portions are large and definitely value for money

Nice place to eat and service was good too. Lots of choice on the menu. Can recommend this as a place to eat. Very cosy interior.

We were very lucky to get a table here on a very busy Friday evening. Fortunately, we arrived early at 6pm, but by the time we'd been seated at a table that they needed back for 8pm the place was already fully booked out for the rest of the night.We shared a fish platter as a starter. A mix of squid, prawn and plaice with salad.For mains, I went for chicken fajitas and my wife chose duck breast. Both were very tasty and well presented. I went for a desert as well, deep filled apple pie. Service was great, and prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food.Make sure you book and enjoy this excellent restaurant soon!

If you are in the Williton area this pub/restaurant is definitely worth a visit. We stayed in Williton over the 2016 August Bank Holiday week and ate at the Mason's Arms four times. There was an extensive menu, and everything that we tried was very well cooked. We had our dog with us, so the staff laid a table for us in the bar rather than the restaurant, but it was comfortable and had a nice ambiance. The service was excellent and cheerful and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and for the good portion sizes. It is in the region of £10-£13 for a main course. We sampled a variety of local ciders and they were also good.

Siamo andati in questo delizioso pub ospiti di un amico che vive in zona: ambiente curato, classico da pub con una zona per la sola bevuta e un paio di sale per cenare. Ottimo, vario e curato il menù, con il giusto mix tra piatti tradizionali da pub e qualche novità dello chef. Buonissima la birra, prodotta direttamente da loro, e che varie come gusti nell'arco dell'anno.

In the week we spent in the area we ate at the masons on four occasions,We where always greeted by friendly staff, a varied menus with a choice of specials,the service was excellent and the food was excellent and well presented.Note its wise to book as it gets busy, Dogs are welcome in the bar area

the food is fantastic the is not bad either brilliant atmosphere and it is family friendly. Great service everyone was welcoming.

We first visited here on a Sunday night in May and left extremely disappointed. Decided to give it another chance and it has definitely improved. Enough staff to cope with demand and the food was delicious.

Recommended by our B&B owners. Good menu with some interesting dishes offered. Had something different over three nights and was not disappointed. Excellent range of beers

Good selection of meals - great service. Good Food. Booking Highly recommended as seemed to be very busy most evenings.

Called in for dinner with my daughter. We hadn't booked but as it was early evening they managed to fit us in. Probably best to book though as they did get busy. I had salmon which was lovely. Daughter had lasagne which was nice but a touch too oily and overly cheese topped. Would recommend the profiteroles for desert. Lovely meal overall but not cheap. Pub has been reburbished recently.

Return visit to this pub whilst on our annual trip to Somerset. Land lady was very friendly and welcoming. Varied menu for food, lots of choice for all appetites. Food was excellent, very tasty. Waitress was very efficient and looked after us well. Accommodated our 4yr old too. Will definitely return and recommend. :)

Just had a fab meal at the Mason's Arms. Lovely varied menu - couldn't decide what to have and then we saw the Rump Steak come out for another customer and all four of us plumped for that. We weren't disappointed - the steak was cooked perfectly, crisp chips, gorgeous mushrooms and the onion rings were huge! Great value, and lovely staff. Enjoyed it so much we're coming back again later in the week to try starter and dessert!

Their is nothing to dislike from start to finish we were made welcome good atmosphere clean and excellent food at good prices plenty too eat

We were a party of 14 - food was delivered promptly and was delicious (I counted 14 clean plates) and very reasonable prices. No pressure to leave so we sat and had a good old family catch up until 11.00

We joined family celebrating an 80th Birthday Party meal, food o.k. but service was rubbish, the staff were very rude including the landlady and this ruined the evening of which should have been a memorable evening instead of ruining it. Will not be going there again.

They fitted me in last minute and I was surprised just how busy they were for a night in the middle of the week in the middle of autumn! The food was great with very speedy service and warm, friendly staff. What more could you ask for?!

I liked the pub and the food was fine just could have had a bit more atmosphere I think, was neither a foodie pub or a locals pub. Staff are really friendly though and nothing is too much trouble.

Great selection and reasonable price. Ambiance good. Went twice in three days. Woud be comfortable to recommend with confidence.

Lovely food in a lovely environment! Must book as always very busy but definitely the best place to eat in the village

Went late on a Friday they were very busy but we're very helpful in finding me a table. can't remember exactly what the starter was but can remember it was fantastic. The main was butterfly pork loin baked potato and a cream creole sauce. This was fantastic pork not over cook the baked potato was done to perfection and the sauce really was lovely. Would of been better if sauce was not pored over meat as I couldn't see what was fat and what wasn't but lovely meal and good value

A very busy pub offering home cooked food ,generos portions and reasonably priced. Book a table as people were turned away.Dessert was a little disappointing.thepie was delicious as was the curry.

We visited here whilst on holiday.. Excellent food, worth every penny.. We had our 4 children too.. Was a bit worried about taking them in but we were all made to feel very welcome.. Would return again..

We were renting a cottage in Williton and the owners had recommended the Masons Arms as the best in the village for food. It was only a short walk away. The welcome from the bar staff was really friendly, the pub was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our food which was very nice.

We were staying locally and our hosts recommended The Masons Arms for our evening meal.There was an excellent selection available.Despite being very busy with a large group, we were served promptly and efficiently. The food was delicious and portions were good. Clean premises and a good atmosphere. I would certainly return when next in the area.

Friendly greating, drinks served straight away and seated at table.... very efficient.Had great choice of mains, I had the rump steak as did father, lovely taste cooked perfect very juicy yum! (Hardly ever have steak)Husband had hunters chicken he was very pleased, father-in-law Gammon with egg and pineapple he too was very happy.Reasonably priced around £12 a head worth it for the quality.The service was pleasant and efficient.Thanks very much

A fine choice of food - thought there may be more seafood content but a hearty choice - served in a lovely restaurant with fine ales .I would highly recommend this place.

We wanted somewhere that was dog friendly and we were recommended here. A table was booked, which if you are bringing your dog with you really is necessary, and let them know about your dog and you will be accommodated in a nice bar area. The choice on the menu is extensive and is good pub-grub fayre. Staff are friendly if a little quirky, but this just adds to the atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable and quality is good for the price paid. Beers kept well. A good choice of real ales available. Seemingly popular place with the locals.

A clean and attractive eating area, with an imaginative selection of excellent meals. We shall be back.

We have eaten here a couple of times, over a year ago now but chose not to revisit when we were in the area a year ago. It is reasonably priced but a bit ordinary and the staff are not particularly friendly or helpful. Tends to get very noisy in summer and therefore also a bit slow with service.

We visited the Mason's Arms a couple of times just after Christmas. The voice of meals was quite good and the quality of the food was pleasing. The Exmore Ale was very good. Service was somewhat slipshod, but that was the only possible negative comment that we could make. We recommend a meal here if you are ever in Williton.

We were staying locally at the super Arden Cottage B & B and wanted an evening meal. Ten minute walk, warm welcome, nice beer (Exmore) and a fine meal where all we wanted.Delivered in a friendly manner, we are coming back to Arden cottage and will always use The Mason's Arms.

Only a ten minute walk from where we were staying and I must admit, the food was really good. We ate here three times during our stay and the food was good on every occasion.

We visited the Mason's Arms with our dog Lana a couple of weeks ago. The dog wasn't allowed in the restaurant but she was welcome in the pub. They have a large menu and also the specials of the week. A lot of choice! Very good food, large portions and well priced.And of course dogfriendly!

It's a very popular Pub and it is advisable to book a table. There is a board with the dishes of the day and also a menu with many choices. The portions are generous and the additional dish of fresh vegetables is always good. We have never tried the meat dishes but the salmon/trout dishes are excellent. Overall the meals are good value.

We had two very good evening meals at the Mason's Arms while staying at a nearby B and B. It's a popular place and you need to book in advance but it's well worth it. The food was good value with a range of choices suitable for the gluten allergy of one of us and the sense of adventure of the other!

fantastic value for money great food and drink opposite the fire station just a 5 min walk from our b and b made very welcome

We were recommended this pub by our B&B Arden Cottage. The food was delicious and service excellent. We ate in the bar area as we had our dog who was more than welcome.

Went here on Friday and it was quite busy which isalways a good sign. We had a long wait for a table but it was really worth the wait. A lovely 3 course meal at a reasonable price we would defo go back here and recommend it.

We were recommended the pub by the person who let us into out rental cottage in the village. We booked in advance, even on a Monday evening they were busy. On arrival, we were met with a warm welcome and were shown to our table. After a short wait to have our order taken, the service was good and there wasn't too long a wait for both the starters and main. The food was well cooked and the accompanying veg was lovely. Only downside was an alarm which went off in a storage room and kept going for about 20 minutes. Meal and drinks worked out around £16 per head.

Booked ahead as there were 16 of us visiting and 14 were travelling some distance to attend a wedding anniversary celebration. We were asked for our orders 24 hours ahead and we supplied our choices but some meals weren't correct when they arrived and had to be sent back. Most of our party had chips with their meals but it was a nightmare trying to get vinegar (which we were told was on the table but wasnt), ketchup and mayonnaise. When they did arrive they were in tiny individual pots and so we had to ask for more. One of our party was very unhappy with her meal and tried to take it back. She went through a door behind her and tripped up a step. Apart from the sign saying "mind the step" being so high up it touched the ceiling there was nothing to indicate there was a step immediately behind the door. She landed very badly, breaking the dish her dinner was in but the landlady seemed more concerned with the mess on the floor than the fact this lady was injured. Her attitude was lousy and has made us think twice about going back again now. Saying there were 16 of us and so thats 16 meals and at least 4 drinks each - so quite a bit of money went in the till - I felt quite embarrassed, as a local, that I had recommended the place to everyone. The food, in the whole being excellent, was the saving grace.

Good selection on menu,staff very pleasant,good selection of beers and ciders,when back in the area again we would certainly use it

Härlig lantlig pub med många stamgäster. Maten var verkligen av högsta klass. Servicen var förträfflig.

Excellent pub - visited the pub twice whilst we stayed at Hartnells B&BMy husband had the mixed grill which looked like it could feed a family of 4! Tasty food, nice staff and a short walk from the B&Bfamily friendly too

Very handy for our stay at Arden Cottage and we took advice and booked before we travelled. Our ubiquitous dog felt right at home (he fell asleep within minutes of arriving - a good result) and everyone made a big fuss of him, probably since he was asleep right in the middle of the floor. The food was tasty, with a choice of 3 or 4 veggie dishes, and the local cider was very good indeed. The service was good, too. We must have enjoyed it since we booked to return the following evening as well.

pub food at its best, Sunday roast was lovely too smiley staff, nice beer garden and clean loos what more can you ask our son liked the cider selection, coffee was tasty as well and the mints were yummy. nice touch.

We had a full 3 course meal with wine and 2 drinks to start for under £65. I opted for the duck starter followed by the whole trout which was delicious. My husband had garlic mushrooms and beef stroganoff. Service was great, helpful and the pub wasn't too packed with the dining in 2 areas away from the bar. Would definitely recommend this place to eat.

Lovely food and welcoming bar staff. Friends to all including dogs! Would return again in a heartbeat.

We visited this place twice on our sojourn in that area. In both cases the reception was very friendly, even by the locals. The food was found to be good, plentiful and menu was innovative to the extent that we have subsequently been experimenting with some of their ideas at home.The place it'self was clean and in good decorative order, even down to the toilets and snug to be in.Whilst it may not be the cheapest fare in the area, it would be close and well worth any extra cost. We can easily recommend the place.

Food and atmosphere at the Mason's Arms excellent. Had several meals there and was very pleased with everything. Also a nice choice of wines.Very handy too as within walking distance of Arden Cottage. Didn't really bother to try anywhere else in Williton as was pleased with the food etc., at the Mason's Arms.

Good atmosphere and English pub food and beer!! Very handy if you are staying at the Arden Cottage..

Visited last weekend and enjoyed a lovely meal. Newly refurbished 2nd dining room is delightful ! The newly instated waitress seemed to have been thrown in at the deep end and coped valiantly ! Hope to be visiting again soon !

I spent a week in Blue Anchor with my aunt and we ate here 3 times. It is wonderful.Food is very, very good. Wait staff is friendly and efficient. Wonderful pub atmosphere.And real ales on tap. Lamb chops were wonderful. Lasagne was delicious (and hot!). Everything we tried was great. Decent prices for the UK.Don't pass this one up. We didn't need reservations as it was mid-winter but I imagine during summer it is very busy.

Very good value food and hospitable staff. Called Friday night but full, as were they on Saturday! Finally got to eat on Sunday night

Very friendly, excellent food, dogs welcome in pub. Need to book in advance to eat in restaurant to avoid being disappointed.
