Best fish pie! Very pleasant atmosphere Totally friendly 😊

We just turned to ask for a table and luckily someone was just leaving and we were in and we were very lucky the food was fantastic we had Sunday lunch. I’ve never had so much beef ever and it was so tender the mash was soooo lovely the honey glazed carrots mmmm the gravy mmmm the roasties were mmmm 😋. The veg 😘 we never stayed there we were just there for lunch. The pub was great the staff were great the atmosphere was great if I’m ever passing this way again I will certainly be back oh and the giant Yorkshire pudding was brill Thankuuuuu Mark

I heard a kid say the roast beef was the best he'd ever had so I obviously based my food choice off that. I must say It was a spectacular roast beef!

Stayed two nights. Clean accessible room. Lovely breakfast. Would stay again. Thank you

Visited on holiday the whole family were made to feel welcome, lovely service, lovely food, lovely atmosphere thank you so much.

We called in here after a receptionist recommended it to us from the hotel nearby. We turned up without booking a table but were welcomed by the team. The Food is absolutely delicious and service was amazing and everyone so friendly what a lovely traditional English pub cant recommended enough.

Having spent the day in Gargrave (a childhood holiday haunt), decided to get something to eat al fresco at The Masons Arms. Ordered a fish pie and a lasagna, both arrived roasting hot after being freshly cooked, and both went down a treat! The pub has a good range of beers, lagers and ciders (nice to have a choice and not be fobbed off with the usual draught Strongbow). Location scored 4/5 due to having a fair few flies buzzing around (only to be expected, but perhaps a citronella candle/lantern could be delivered to outside diners to alleviate this small issue). Recommended - both meals were delicious and stayed hot until the last mouthful! (No photo of the fish pie - it was dived into too quickly!)

Dined here on the advice of the front desk staff of a different hotel. After a week touring small towns in England, we all agreed this was the best food, yet. Fresh, well prepared, delicious. Scallops, fried fish, tomato soup, and Chicken pot pie were all fantastic. Highest recommendation 😋😋😋😋😋

Food is absolutely delicious and service was amazing what a lovely traditional English pub 100% recommended

Called whilst on holiday in the area and based on reviews seen. We were not disappointed. Nice atmosphere good friendly service and excellent food.

The food here is absolutely amazing!!! The place is rustic and charming with a beer garden and the option to eat outside. The service was great and the staff were really friendly. Would definately recommend, thank you.

Really nice lunch on a lovely sunny day in Gargrave. There's a good selection of dishes available on the menu and the staff are really friendly The portions are huge and the food was delicious, definitely recommended

Went in for Sunday dinner absolutely delicious great staff very obliging will definitely be going there again give this place a try 👍

Stopped off at the Masons Arms for a meal and drink on our holiday visit had a nice steak and ale pipe but were very disappointed with the cost of our drinks at £8.00 for two half's of shandy is to much so will not be visiting again.

Fantastic food and service.Sunday lunch was lovely all fresh cooked.

Brilliant bub, lovely pie, quick service. Highly recommend

Lovely local pub, friendly staff and locals. Not eaten here but the food looks good.

Stayed overnight and had dinner. Recommended!

Great Yorkshire Dales traditional pub, good mixture of local characters and tourists. Excellent Timothy Taylor beers and other rotating guests. Have never eaten but the food looks and smells great. Dog friendly.

Called in for lunch Monday 13th, this was one of our favourite places to eat, not any more, food was terrible, fish and chips, plate was absolutely red hot, couldn't cut thru the batter because it was that hard, chips over cooked, brown, table dirty from last diners,

Excellent pub. Great atmosphere

Called tonight, the beer was spot on, the food was plentiful and cooked to perfection. Definitely will be returning.

Nice .lovely food. But the only downfall allows children to sit at the bar

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Nice pub .will be back

Very nice pub lovely food an drink credit to the industrie

Lovely local Yorkshire pub, fantastic service and very welcoming. Especially Geoff the dog 🐕 if you're ever lucky enough to meet him. Lovely homemade comfort pub food. Would recommend if you have a dog.

Very nice Pub. Unfortunately because of our nationality we were charged £8 for a pot of earl grey tea which is an absolutely ridiculous price. All in all a very kind service and a racist barkeeper ✌🏼🇬🇧

Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend for food and drink.

Dinner, 8 pm, weekday. No clear direction if you get seated, order at the bar, or seat yourself. Turns out all drinks are ordered at the bar. Wing it for the seating. And check out at the bar. Service lackluster in general. Slow to take the order. Meal took 40 minutes to arrive. Not fresh tasting, flavorful, or presented in a way we've come to expect with pub fare. Wasn't checked back on by staff or directed how to pay. Had salmon and smoked haddock fish cakes on some odd chowder something that wasnt flavorful. Side of garden greens which turns out was steamed and not seasoned bowl of misc greens. Had much better experience at The Bull followed by Old Swan. Wouldn't come again.

Great place food and drinks always a warm welcome

First time here. Reminded me of a proper olden days pub. Warm friendly Definitely recommend this place Thank you!

Absolutely superb food and a wonderfully warm welcome. We booked for a large party, including dogs and kids. Quality of food (Inc Sunday roasts) was superb. I wouldn't usually leave a review, but definitely worth it for this one.

Only called in for a beer. Taylor's Landlord in great condition.

I booked a table for dinner late on a Sunday with my 12 year old son when we were visiting the area. I had a roast dinner and he had a burger. Both of our meals were absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were great too. The food alone was enough to make us re-book for dinner again the following day, but the warm welcome absolutely sealed the deal. When we arrived again on a Monday night, we were greeted like regular customers. My son had the burger again and I had the steak pie - the food more than lived up to expectations. I could have licked the gravy boat as it was so good! Thanks very much to everyone who worked there - we will be back when we are next in the area. (Note to the gentleman behind the bar - I hope you have tried the IPA shandy now, it's honestly really nice!)

Superb pub just in the middle of Gargrave. Fabulous food and great friendly atmosphere. Very dog friendly too. Highly recommend

Fabulous, great food and friendly pub loved it Thankyou so much, proper old style pub with flagged floor right up our street

Saturday tea with family . Choice on menu was excellent lively ambience and staff super friendly and very efficient . The food was outstanding both in flavour and portion size . First visit for us all but won’t be our last . Excellent value for money too

Warm Yorkshire welcome, lovely pint of beer and great food. Delicious Game Pie was a treat and the haddock and chips was very tasty. Thoroughly recommend lunch here.

Just returned from a 2 night break at The Masons Arms. After a long journey from Wales, we were warmly welcomed by the landlord. Roaring log fire burning in this lovely rustic pub, so we sat and relaxed with a couple of drinks. All of the staff here are very helpful and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was nice & warm. The village of Gargrave is a great base for exploring the beautiful Dales. Thoroughly enjoyed our mini break!

The best pub grub we have ever had, nice staff. Amazing chocolate brownie. And dog friendly too 😊

food ok nothing special, quaint wee seating are for food , friendly staff

We visited the Masons Arms, Gargrave on a couple of evenings when we were staying nearby at Gallaber Park. The meals, service and atmosphere were all excellent. We plan on eating there again when we are next in the area.

Our first visit and it was lovely. We had an evening meal, a burger and the chicken breast and both were delicious. A lovely welcoming atmosphere, great food and a friendly place. Will call again.

Great lunchtime pint (or two) and a hearty sandwich. Staff pleasant, looking forward to another visit.

Fantastic pub food - best I’ve had in years. Real chops and homemade pie. Brilliant. Would go again in heart beat. Really lovely staff too

Called here for lunch, its a bit pricey for a sandwich, won't go again for lunch

Popped in with a friend . Had a philly steak sandwich which was delicious and filling. Great value. Would definately go there again . Didn't stay there.

Great value for money. Good food, great hospitality. Be prepared for generous-sized portions 😋😋

Nice relaxed atmosphere. I'm from Somerset. When I walked into the bar, there was Thatchers Cider , I knew then there was a god. People are friendly but then again you're in Yorkshire so it isn't a surprise. Nice seating outside and on a hot day a nice cold pint of cider and it's perfect.

Excellent honest pub food. We went twice during our weeks holiday in Gargrave. Lovely friendly atmosphere with well kept real ale.

Three of us had excellent meals in the busy lively bar area. The bar area of the pub has an open fire and is very dog friendly. There is a good range of well kept real ales with the normal array of lagers etc

The food was excellent!! Our meals were piping hot, honestly, couldn't have been nicer.. All the staff we're very polite and friendly. The atmosphere was great..We highly recommend anyone to come here.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puds!!! ….. 4 of us for Sunday Lunch with Richard & Amy …. Fantastic food , brilliant service and the warmest of welcomes - plus 2 pints of Timothy Taylor’s finest Knowledge Spring beer ..,, it doesn’t get any better than this folks - a visit is a must and the outstanding quality of the food and the sincere warm welcome from the best landlord and landlady in the business - Richard & Amy ensure you are all sorted and all is well - just a perfect Sunday lunch 👍🏻🐑🇵🇹🐕🙏

The food was excellent, along with the service. Rare to find a traditional Dales pub with reasonable prices. Atmosphere friendly too.

Great pub, really welcoming staff, evening meal and breakfast lovely. We also took our two dogs and stayed overnight. really accommodating will defiantly book again. Dogs really welcome in the bar area, complete with real log fire after a long walk dogs very happy and warm. Thankyou

The Masons hosted by Amy & Richard is a down to earth proper Yorkshire pub. Warm & welcoming with superb ales & food. As said before a hidden gem. We had a superb evening enjoying the food drinks & ambience of a traditional pub. Dog...

Me and my husband stayed here in the B&B part 4 years ago and loved the atmosphere of the pub. Today we decided to go back with family and our dog to have Sunday lunch. This place is a lovely village pub with fantastic meals which are big servings at a good price. The Sunday roast are amazing everything about it was delicious topped off with a massive fruit crumble and custard. This lovely little pub is dog friendly with a area where dogs are not allowed if you are allergic or not found of them. I would suggest however that you book a table in advance especially if you want to take your pooch with you as it becomes fully booked quickly. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely highly recommend staying or visiting just for the food and atmosphere.

My family & I have been going to this fantastic place for 10 yrs when we are in the area. We went today after a long spell of not going as we haven't been in the area for a while. I had actually forgotten how amazing the food is here. The Sunday Roast was the best I've eaten and the portion size was huge. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's definitely a little gem of a find and once you have been here you will definitely make a number of return trips. One thing to definitely try is the cheesy chips, they are something else.

Eight of us booked in to The Mason Arms for lunch on New Years Day. We were on holiday in the area and had been told that there were some nice pubs in Gargrave. The Mason Arms managed to accommodate us last minute. The pub...

We live in Essex and we are visiting family over Christmas. My parents had visited the Mason's Arms a week ago and wanted to take us this afternoon...... what an amazing find!!! If I'm honest, the last few times we have been out for dinner...

Great to see a busy pub serving great home made food. Steak & Ale pie plus home made chips to die for!!! Cheese and onion pie was excellent also. Dog friendly, polite bar staff, worth booking in advance. Hidden gem, tucked away off the Main...

Richard and Amy are the perfect hosts - put very simply this is the best pub we have ever had the pleasure to go into - the service, the friendly atmosphere and of course the beer ( Timothy Taylor’s Knowles Spring) is off scale it’s...

Stayed round the corner from the Masons Arms so 4 of us went here for dinner on Christmas eve. Very busy but staff very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, really wasn't expecting much for "typical pub food" however this was nothing of the...

Warm, friendly and welcoming pub. Staying in Gargrave for work and decided to call in for a pint after a long day. Fire was on, so was the football, good atmosphere around the bar. Ale was excellent. Would like to go back and try the...

What a fabulous place to have lunch. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. The staff are so welcoming. A big shout out to Hailey who had a smile and lovely comment for everyone. Always makes dining much better when the staff are so...

What an amazing pub! Booked a table to meet our friends there as travelled over in our camper. Had dinner & the food was amazing, the sticky toffee pudding was epic! Richard & his wife were the most wonderful hosts. We even stayed for breakfast...

We had pre-booked for Sunday Lunch as a family of 4, advisable to do so given how busy the place was. The service was a little slow however the food was fantastic and we’d definitely recommend.

Stayed two nights here: fantastic pub with great staff , friendly atmosphere and terrific home cooked food. Comfortable rooms. Perfect place for exploring the dales.

Absolutely blown away at this place… how it functions as a profitable business is beyond me. Owners/managers (unsure) clearly drinking more than they’re banking. Witnessed them being aggressive and rude to a lovely set of folk. Frankly wild behaviour. Do yourself a favour and steer...

On our regular walks from Skipton to Gargrave, we call in here for a drink and it’s always been welcoming. This time we finally ate here and OMG what took us so long to do this?! Fish n Chips with Yorkshire Caviar (mushy peas!) came...

We called in to this quaint little pub, the place was busy so we didn't stay for food as the menu was small and the food on offer was expensive, we ordered 2 drinks & sat at a table it was nearly 7pm, i noticed...

I dropped down through the village from a walk on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to have a good home cooked lunch. I had the braised steak with an excellent choice of vegetables. It was well worth the detour. The toilets were clean with ample...

We booked on good Friday for 10 on Easter Sunday, they let my man take a menu back to our boat. We continued cruising and got a phone call on Sunday morning to check whether we wanted to pre order our meals to save time!...

Lovely food and in decent portions. Nice to be able to have a decent meal with our dog and be made to feel welcome. Really nice country pub atmosphere

Visited on a very cold, wet night for a bite to eat. We were welcomed by a roaring open fire and friendly staff. We had two courses. The starter we had was a sharing platter for 2, however, it would have served 4! Usual delights...

Managed to get a table without a booking, they were really busy both the food and service was excellent.

A very traditional village pub with some very nice ales and some of the best home cooked food I've ever tasted. It's a very homely place - well behaved dogs are welcome. Very much the old school village pub - centre of the community. Sunday...

Standard pub fare and beverages. Friendly staff and reasonably comfortable. Go for a pint or buy two glasses of wine and get the third one free.

I wanted a warming meal on a cold night and ordered the game stew. Venison, rabbit and pigeon. I got a beef and vegetable stew. Nice enough but not what I ordered. Service was friendly and there was plenty of food.

excellent value, proper home cooked roast and gravy beside a roaring log fire. Nicely served, cheerful waitress, lots of it - what's not to like/

We once stayed here before & as we & a group of friends were doing a barge trip on the canal. Its a nice pub, with good choice of ales & nice pub grub. Dogs are welcome too which is why we stayed here before....

Home made food worth waiting for, nice warm pub with traditional atmosphere. Real ales excellent. Staff very friendly. Wish it was nearer to home!

Its a good old fashioned pub in a lovely village. Everyone is friendly enough. Nice open fire - dart board in one corner and large tv screen in another (sound turned down thank goodness).

Lovely food, friendly landlady. Really nice to my 11 year old son. We will be back. My son had scampi, I had belly pork, both delicious, home made, excellent value for money.

¿comería en los brazos de Mason nuevo? Solo si tienen chico que indiquen las armas para mi cabeza queríamos comer allí!

Called in for lunch on Saturday whilst en route to the Lake District. Loved that my dog was allowed in the bar area. Very friendly staff and lovely home cooked grub that was very reasonably priced. Will most definitely return and would recommend.

llamado en un sábado ocupado, temprano en la noche. la cerveza era muy bueno, y el pub tiene un ambiente muy agradable. La comida no es cara, pero le falta en cantidad. Yo tenía los langostinos en pastelería filo como aperitivo, que eran muy seco y sosa, y sólo 4 de ellos. no nos gustó mucho. El curry de pollo era normal, y no muchos. Es una pena de patatas fritas, porque es un lugar que volvería de nuevo, pero quizás no para comer.

Called in early on Friday evening to find pub very busy but good atmosphere, lots of dog walkers with dogs, locals, visitors. Service pretty good despite being busy, excellent food and very reasonable prices. Good selection of real ales. Nice feel to the place.

it was our first visit here to the pub for Sunday tea the pub is a couple hundred yards off main road over the bridge it's a nice looking pub proper oldie worldly it had a good atmosphere and quite busy the beer I had was good as was the wife's , the meal we had was how I could I put neither good or bad just average my wife had roast pork Sunday diner which she did not rate she said it was bland just lacked taste ie seasoning the pork was fine and there was plenty of it too( no apple sauce) what let it down was there very little veg when you get a Sunday roast you expect swede or cabbage or both maybe broccoli , cauliflower cheese , not a small 5 inch ramekin dish with some peas ,corn niblets a couple of slices of carrots and a few small leaves of green cabbage , I had the same veg too only thing is I had steak pie and chips which was really nice the pie was proper home made type really rich gravy as well and nice steak inside the chips were home made big fat ones too it was such a shame about the veg if they could get this right we would come back more as it's a nice pub as well good staff all round

Nos alojamos con un querido amigo en Gargrave durante una semana. Nos encontramos en los masones casi todos los días. La comida es fantástica y el personal estupendo. El propietario y su esposa han procurado hacen de éste un lugar que nadie se sienta cómodo y tienen una pinta o una comida. Han tenido éxito.

Tuvimos una magnífica comida con mi marido y los niños. Tenía 3 salchichas y puré de patatas y unas salchichas y budín de Yorkshire entre nosotros todo lo que tengo que decir es ¡GUAU estaban deliciosos, todas las verduras casero era preciosa y muy bien presentado. El precio era muy razonable para lo que te ofrecen, sin duda que volveré en el futuro y se lo recomendaremos a otros.

Very much a country pub. Quiet for Sunday lunch, several locals enjoying their pint and a few visitors too. Had the Sunday roast lamb, good portions and tasty. Dogs welcome on the tiled part of the pub. Excellent pint of Wainwright golden ale.

Amazing quality food, hearty portions, and excellent value. The creme brulee was one of the best I've ever had and the jam sponge pudding just exceptional. All home-made too - and served by friendly people.

Intentamos comer aquí cuando llegamos a Gargrave un sábado por la noche pero permanente sólo la habitación! Intentamos nuevamente el lunes por la noche y no nos decepcionó. El menú ofrece una buena variedad de comidas para todos los gustos. Yo tenía el masones deshielo que era delicioso y a mi marido tenía el estofado de ternera, la mitad una vaca en salsa! Un pub encantador pero muy popular, así que a veces puede tener que esperar por una mesa. Buena variedad de cervezas, cervezas y vinos. Tan buena que se convirtió en clientes habituales durante nuestra estancia de dos semanas en Gargrave!

Well following our attempted meal at The Old Swan (see my review) The Masons Arms could not have been more different. Within 20 seconds of standing at the bar I was greeted and then shown 2 different locations to seat my family by whom I suspect was the Landlord, I ordered some drinks and we sat down, the pub was consderably busiier than the previous pub with a good vibe and clean appearance. The food we ordered was good especially the mixed platter which was delicious, kids ate from the kids menu and everything was fine, spent £70.00 in all, mostly on food I just wonder how much the barmaids friends spent in the other pub....... If you find yourself in Gargrave then you will not be dissapointed here, 'good pub food' and a pleasant place to eat it.

Servicio parecía un poco tímido o agrio pero mejorado rápidamente
