Masons Arms Country Inn in Copeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Stayed in Gilcrux a few times and made sure I went here at least once. Very clean, dog friendly and the best pint of Carlsberg I’ve had. I visit with my teen daughter and we are made to feel very welcome. Last time we went we did the bingo which was great fun. Food is just amazing. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

We booked for Sunday lunch and the experience is to be repeated. Greeted by landlord , service was very good , beer on tap well looked after and the lunch, my half portion was more than sufficient and the other 3 meals more than value for money . A true home cooked , chef cares. Meal

We booked the Mason’s Arms to celebrate my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. Andy and Hal were fantastic hosts and so accommodating, allowing us to pre-book a three course meal for nine people. Everything was delicious from start to finish; we were particularly impressed with the full vegetarian Sunday lunch, including roast potatoes, a huge Yorkshire pudding and even veggie gravy! The starters and roast beef were also a hit, plus the sticky toffee pudding was incredible! We were even allowed to decorate an area of the pub with photos, balloons, and banners, making the day extra special. The Mason’s Arms is dog friendly so our cockapoo loved being part of the family celebrations. Thank you Andy, Hal and team for the amazing food and service, we’ll be back very soon!

Called in for Sunday lunch when staying near bye a rare treat for us as we run a pub ourselves Very friendly landlord and locals, well kept real ales and a very generous and unpretentious tasty Sunday roast with well cooked veg and tender beef….what more do you want !

We live locally and decided to book a table for new years eve. So we could walk the mile and half each way. Started as a table of 4 and ended up as 9 as family decided to join us. We offered to prebook as there was 9 of us. We arrived half an hour early for drinks before dinner. The table was set ready for us. The food came out red hot and plenty of it. All the food was ready at the same time and noone was left waiting. 9 clean plates. Great choice of puddings and the table finished off 7 between us. Definitely recommend. Very friendly couple and lovely environment.

We stayed at nearby Greengill for the week and made this our local. Had a drink most nights (owner remembered our order by 2nd night!) . Very friendly. Joined the locals watching the match on sky, a bingo night and also ate there. Food and drink were superb and very good value. They only serve on certain nights due to cost of living crisis. If you are in the area go support it.

Delightful very dog friendly pub just across the road from where we were staying in a caravan. We had a delicious 3 course meals plus drinks. The Thai Green Curry was the best I have had to date. Wife had the King Prawn Stir Fry which was also excellent. The host and service staff were welcoming and friendly giving a very homely feeling. Nice to go to a local pub that didn’t have loud music blazing out so able to make conversation. The locals were also very welcoming and all the doggies were well behaved. If you are passing it is really worth dropping in for a relaxing refreshment break.

Family of 8 for dinner, all with various requirements! Fabulous food, I had hot Thai red prawn curry, it was absolutely delicious. Lovely friendly staff.

This is a pub that does food. It doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t. The food is great value with portions that do not disappoint. It might look as if there is a limited menu but when you add in the pizza menu and the specials board, there will be something for everyone. There is a full range of drinks including straight beers, a mild and cider/lagers. Excellent staff. It is welcoming and true to the ethos of a proper village pub. If you are in the area, check it out.

Great selection of food, including many vegan options. Excellent value and quality. Will be returning in February to try the desserts as I didn't have room on this occasion.

Nice fresh food at limited times, but closes early even on the weekend. So check before travelling that they are open

A cheery welcome from Hal behind the bar, and a warm welcome from the fire keeping us warm & cosy. Another lovely meal from Andy, consistently good food, and really think it can't be beaten in the area, that's why we are so lucky to have this place as our local. Thank you for offering consistently good food.

Ate at both village pubs whilst in Gilcrux and this one wins hands down! Food was fresh and tasty and the welcome from the owner was friendly. Wish I had eaten here both evenings and would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

The food was delicious! We had haddock and the fish was cooked beautifully. The chips were really nice too. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. I would recommend it. A fantastic child and dog friendly venue.

We stayed in the caravan park over the road and thought we will try the masons arms as they had bingo on. We could not have been more pleasantly surprised! The pub was extremely child and dog friendly. The owner was funny and chatty. The drinks were ridiculously cheap compared to back home. I would recommend anyone staying nearby to head to the mason arms for a few drinks and a chilled, friendly environment.

Another excellent visit to celebrate our anniversary dinner. Great menu from Andy with an interesting specials board that changes regularly. Hal keeps 3 real ales going to a high standard, and I thoroughly tested all of them! Thanks again.

Just stayed for a week in this village. Drank in the pub twice and also had food there twice. Food is homecooked and superb. We were made to feel really welcome by Hal and his wife, who I have forgotten the name of, so so sorry. We hogged the pool table and there is a frustrating puzzle with a ring on a piece of string which we managed to do. Food is only on Thursday to Saturday evenings plus Sunday lunch, There is though available some local hot pies during the week. Thanks for help make our holiday

We were staying locally and had booked for a meal on Saturday evening. (We actually called in for a drink earlier that day after a walk too!) Both visits we were greeted warmly and were made to feel very welcome by all the staff & other customers too. There were plenty of choices for drinks options and the food menu was fabulous. As a group of 5 adults we were all spoilt for choice and as someone with food intolerances I found the clearly labelled menu to be amazing! Everything was cooked and presented beautifully and was thoroughly enjoyed by all! Unfortunately no pictures were taken due to us enjoying it so much! Highly recommend

We stayed in the village for a week and loved this pub. The food, beer and wine were fantastic. However, the best thing was how genuinely welcoming the landlord and landlady were to us, and our pup. Gorgeous fire too!! Worth staying in the village for this experience. Thank you

Hidden gem, fish and chips were lovely, mussels highly recommended, waiting staff so helpful cannot beat the food and service here, would highly recommend. Will be regulars for sure

Brilliant takeaway which cheered us up no end. The full menu is available during lockdown and you just order on the phone and pick up when it suits. Lovely food and very personal service!

Lovely pub. Nice atmosphere, relaxed and friendly with delicious food. Best curry I’ve had outside an Indian restaurant, all home made. Just the place to stop on a cold evening with the family, thank you.

after reading all the reviews on how good the food was me and my girlfriend must have gone to the wrong pub we got there the landlord just pointed at 2 tables and said you can sit there or there its up to you then we ordered are food michelle ordered lasagne when that came it looked like it had been put in the microwave all it was was a bowl of a little mince one sheet of pasta no white sauce and loaded with melted cheese on to the salad was bland and the garlic bread was just that bread michelle left most of it my meal came i ordered gammon sausage blackpudding pineapple egg and chips not good the best thing was the sausage the gammon was greasy as was the chips which i think no i know they were frozen left them so in general not impressed with the food the waitress ask us if we would like the dessert board we said yes guess what still waiting the meal and drinks came to £32 ive had better meals for that it was are first time there didnt get are 10% off not one member of staff ask us how was are meal so all in all we wont be going back

While staying at - Greengill Farm Shepherds Hut we had a meal at Masons Arms . I had the Haddock and chips husband had Steak and ale pie chips and veg . VERY big portions I couldn’t finish mine . Tasted great . The girl who was serving food was very nice and attentive as was barman .. We didn’t wait long on food once ordered even though they were very busy . Prices were good too and we got 10% of as it was our first visit . Lovely village pub warm and friendly .. will definitely be back if we visit again . Highly recommend

One of our first trips out following the easing of lockdowns measures. And, what a treat! A warm welcome from the landlord and the delightful waiting staff. The tables were spaced out so we could adequately social distance. The menu has all the usual Cumbrian pub classics and several South African dishes for the adventurous. My dining partner had the Babootie and devoured it, a taste sensation he declared. I stayed safe and opted for the burger which was delicious, real depth of flavour with excellent home cooked chips. They have a couple of well kept cask ales on offer too. A lovely Lakeland inn with delicious, tasty home cooked food, we’ll be back!

We went there three times during our stay and enjoyed it every single time. Food portions are both very large and delicious, and staff is welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Cumbrian pub with lots of character and charm. Really friendly staff with a large variety of drinks on offer. The food is INCREDIBLE. They offer classic pub grub along with beautiful South African cuisine. Absolutely delicious.

We stayed in Gilcrux for 4 days and used the pub everyday. Twice to eat and other evenings just for a drink.The food on both occasions was supreme. The chips were amazing. Such a good choice on the menu, with a mixture of English and South African. We were always made to feel welcome by the landlord and the regulars. Will certain visit again if in the area.

We both found food very tasty and amazing. We were very surprised to see the huge portion of food in front of us too. And oh, excellent music played there too tonight. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you again! We'll definitely go back there before heading back to London.

I visited a few weeks ago with my father and decided to take my husband this evening with out the children. The food was amazing. It definitely lived up to the hype I had explained to my husband. Halloumi fries and salt and pepper squid for starters and 2 amazing currys for mains. Great selection of beer and gin and for us a short 2 mile walk home. Definitely our new local and will be back again soon. Very well priced.

We went to the Mason’s arms twice while on our staycation in Gilcrux. It was a recommendation from the place we were staying and it was brilliant! The menu has a wide variety of options for starters and mains and all the food we had was delicious. I would particularly recommended the salt and pepper squid. It also has a good selection of drinks and extremely friendly staff. The young girls serving were particularly welcoming and always checked that we had everything we had ordered. We can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Gilcrux.

This was the only place open nearby to where we were staying and I’m glad it was! The food was so delicious and so many options to chose from. The portion sizes were enormous. The staff were so lovely and welcoming.

This is the secnd time we have visited the Mason's Arms, Gilcrux for a special Sunday lunch. 7 adults and 2 children were treated by Mike and Nadine to some excellent food and a very decent pint (or two) of Birra Moretti. even during these difficult times we were made to feel at home and the food is absolutely amazing. We also used their excellent take away facility for incredible pizzas during our weekend in the area, it seems nothing is too much trouble. I look forward to our next visit to the area and any excuse to pay Mike, Nadine and their wonderful staff another visit.

We felt immediately at home on our first visit to the Mason's Arms. It's in a charming setting in a peaceful village and the food is spot on.---Food:- Salt and pepper squid for starter was about £5, served in a simple and appealing way and tasted fantastic. - Sirloin steaks ordered for the main course, the servings were huge (see the picture) and everything on the plate was spot on. It's high quality steak from a local butcher, expertly cooked with some of the best chips I've had. We ordered classic pub dishes but there is far more than that available on the menu which I can't wait to try- Pints of local ale "Wainwright" were delicious and clearly well keptService: -Staff were very friendly and attentive, they actually ran out of steak for one of our party, so we ordered one gammon which was delicious also (even gave us a large piece of Cumberland sausage for free to make up for not having the steak which was appreciated)Atmosphere:Local feeling, very down to earth and relaxing. Plenty of space for a drink if you aren't eating and there's also a lovely beer garden out front to enjoy---Great pub, great grub, get yourself in there.

Very much enjoyed Indonesian Chicken Satay and rice take away this evening from The Mason's Arms. Food is always delicious but first time I have tried a takeaway, due to the lock down at the moment. Mike and Nadine are fantastic hosts. Can recommend. They are doing take away breakfasts too!

We came here for my birthday in August 2019. We booked by telephone and asked for a high chair. The table was reserved and set when we arrived, but there was no highchair. Luckily they had one spare. The menu is huge, but it is all written on a chalkboard by the bar, there are no actual menus. This was ok as it wasn’t that busy but I can imagine this area gets crowded when its busy. The food didn’t take long to arrive and the portions are massive, I had to ask for a box to take some home! The food is good and the prices were reasonable. We will visit again soon.

My girlfriend and I went here for dinner when staying in the village and the food, service and setting were great. The owner was welcoming, there were a good range of drinks with pool, darts and board games as an added bonus.The food was great. The batter on the fish and chips was tempura light and the chips crisp and fluffy. The puff pastry topped pie was full of flavour and moreish to say the least.We had a lovely evening and I would happily go back again.

4 friends went for lunch and the food was brilliant. I had the curry which was as good as any from a indian curry restaurant. The staff were lovely and the chef even came out to talk to us after . We would highly recommend this pub for food

Visited Masons Arms for lunch this Sunday. We were a family of 11 and had reservations that we could all be fed at the same time with a quality lunch. We needn't have worried , the food was excellent. We all ordered different meals which came hot and very quickly. Not sure how the chef did it but we were all amazed. Would highly recommend the Butter Chicken curry and the Fish and Chips. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious too. The landlord and waiting staff were very helpful and very friendly. Will definately visit again if we are in the area.

Our first visit to the Mason’s Arms and we had a very enjoyable meal.The choice is rather different to the usual pub menu and is quite comprehensive also there is a good choice of beers.The service was fine and the landlord is very efficient and friendly and our two dogs were welcomed. There is a lovely stove burning brightly and all in all the whole experience was excellent

Visited here with my boyfriend and another couple today for a Boxing Day lunch treat before walking the dogs and we were so impressed.Lovely setting with a fire on, the staff were so welcoming and the food was fantastic! We had- macaroni, lasagne, pizza and scampi. Great portion sizes and dog friendly.Will be returning and recommending to others :)

Lovely home made food. Reasonable priced. Lasagne I had was very good and husband had curry which was super. Will definitely be back.

Looking for a place to have tea on our bank holiday get away to Gilcrux Cumbria, only two pubs in the little village serving food, and accommodating dogs, The Barn whilst welcoming dogs inside during the day, you could not take your pooch In after 6pm, don't know whats happening there!! However, Mike and the staff at the Masons Arms could not have made us feel more welcome. A family atmosphere, plenty pooches around, and excellent service, could not have asked for more. An extensive menu on the board, plenty of choice for all. A special mention to Rebecca our waitress, she was very sweet, nothing was too much trouble, literally service with a smile. Thank you to all, from us two and Dexter the Frenchie xx

Second visit and it won’t be our last. Great pub with fantastic food (the Caribbean goat curry is beyond delicious and the pies are fantastic), good drink and a great atmosphere. The staff are very helpful and service is great.

My husband and I stayed at Ellen Hall for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. This pub is perfect for taking dogs with you. The man behind the bar is very friendly, and even gave the dogs a treat when we arrived. All staff we saw working there were very nice. The food was quick to come and was very tasty, and lots of it. Overall, a brilliant dog friendly pub.

Stayed at Ellen Hall and ate here 3 nights out of 4. We were able to take our dog with us - she even got a treat! Friendly host and lovely girls on table service.

We stayed in gilcrux for 10 days and called in for a drink. It's a comfy pub with an interesting food menu so we booked a table for my b'day. The food is all cooked on site, it's big portions and it's very good. They even do pizzas made from scratch to take away. Great service and great food at affordable prices. Will definitely return for more.

Not a great deal of parking spaces. The customer service was great. Very welcoming. Food was lovely, full of flavour. Would definitely visit again.

We initially visited the restaurant because it was conveniently near to where we were staying and we did not want to drive anywhere. The menu choices list was massive and special diets were catered for. The host was friendly, and the two girls who served us could not have been more cheerful. The food was promptly served and piping hot. We sat in the corner of the seating area and were not disturbed - we could stay as long as we liked -we had a lot to chat about as we were a party of three sisters who live in different areas of the UK. - we have a sisters holiday every year.

We went on holiday to Gilcrux and called in to the Mason Arms for a couple of drinks one evening and for an evening meal another day.

Myself and my family were living close by for the weekend and were luck enough to visit the Mason's Arms a couple of times sampling a great pint of Morretti, pizza to take away and a sumptious Sunday lunchtime feast. The treatment we (17 of us)received from Mike Nadine and their staff was nothing short of exceptional and the food was truly amazing. Can't wait until we are in the area again to re-visit this lovely characterful country pub.

This is a great pub in West Cumbria. It's just down the road from us, but if we lived further afield we would still come here.

We were made very welcome and the food was lovely. We went with a couple who lived just down the road. They said they always came here on their nights out and I can see why.

We visited the Masons over new year as we were staying nearby.

My husband and I stayed in Gilcrux for a week and visited the Masons Arms on several occasions. We were always made to feel very welcome in the cosy bar which serves a wide range of quality beers, ales and wines, all reasonably priced. On each visit we ate from the eclectic menu. The food was all freshly made on the premises and portions were substantial, delicious and, as with the drinks, reasonably priced and served with a smile. We would definitely recommend the Masons Arms to any visitors to the area.

Myself and my family very often dine here the food is always excellent and the service is just as good plus it's a great place for children Mike and Nadine always very welcoming will be back again this weekend with the family

Food is excellent all home made the pub is family friendly and dog friendly me and family go there regularly and we Are welcomed every time mike and Nadine make everyone welcome

My husband and I went for lunch. I ordered Spare Ribs and was asked if I wanted a half portion - lucky I did, as the portion sizes are big. My husband ordered the Peri Peri Chicken and it was delicious. Both meals were served with hand cut home made chips which were cooked to perfection and a salad. Lovely atmosphere and loved seeing a patron at the bar with his dog sitting quietly at his feet. I highly recommend this pub.

Lovely warm friendly pub we’ve visited the Masons on many special family occasions, always received a lovely service from the waitresses, there is a good selection of fine ales and beers, there is a good selection of food on the menu, the food is of good Quality cocked fresh, we’ve always been welcomed such a friendly atmosphere from all the customers, Mike and Nadine work hard to make the pub so nice to visit

We visit the Masons Arms regularly and are always never disappointed with out food or service. The pub is popular and can get busy. A testament to its good food. The owners often come out and chat to us and are very friendly.

We as a family have visited the Masons in Gilcrux on many special family events, we have always had a lovely Friendly warm welcome, from Mike and Nadine and their wonderful staff, we like eating out at the Masons the food is lovely, there are many good ales and beers, they have a good choice of meals, and fine beers, we will definitely be going for more, thank you Mike and Nadine for always making us welcome

Have been coming to the Masons for the last few years. We always bring family and friends who have never been disappointed with the food and the lovely warm welcome from Mike and Nadine. Mike even welcomes dogs with a little treat. Nadine and mike have a wide verity of food on the menu and the quality of the food has never disappointed us. All staff are welcoming and polite. Would definitely be eating here for years to come.

We have been here many times and each time have left perfectly content with full bellies!

We really were looking forward to our visit. The menu was very impressive and it took us a while to pick; there was so much choice. The menu spoke in detail of flavours and spices of different countries etc etc. However, when my curry came it was the most tasteless curry I have ever had! The rest of our group (there were 7 of us) all felt their food fell below par. Interestingly, the waitress didn’t once ask if we enjoyed our food. We visit the lakes a lot and the food is always lovely. It really is a shame, but this lovely pub can’t match what they advertise.

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming appearance of this village pub...Mike and Nadine clearly love what they do and this shows in every aspect. We were visiting the area and received a lovely warm welcome. Our food was prepared and served personally by Nadine who is passionate about good food and adds her South African influences to the menu. Well worth a drive to this hidden gem.

Booked a table by phone 2 weeks ago for 6 friends, after having a good meal here last month. Upon arrival we were told our reservation " wasn't in the book" and, as it was busy, we would have to wait until a table became available which could be some time. No apology or explanation was offered. There was no point waiting so went elsewhere and had an enjoyable evening.

Recently been staying close to this pub and we popped in Monday night for dinner as we arrived late and needed somewhere close and we were warmly welcomed. I’m vegetarian and was delighted to see some options for me. I went for a vegetarian platter and it was amazing. We enjoyed it so much we came back Tuesday and Thursday! Would of gone Wednesday as well but they’re closed on Wednesday.

Walked into a freeing cold pub asked for the menus was told it was all on the board there was four of us in our party and none of us could see the writing it was to small. Ordered our food and when it came steak was off chips were not home made they were frozen wedges very disappointing and didn't get anything knocked off the bill for the off steak

As we had a large party we booked in advance and the landlord was able to ensure he sat us all together. By also pre-ordering from the menu it ensured there was no disappointment for people not being able to order what they wanted. The service was good and efficient for our large group. The staff were all quite relaxed and un-phased by the large orders.

Visited here after a recommendation and was not disappointed. Outside the appearance was of a village pub, inside a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The menu was wide ranging covering South African, Moroccan, vegetarian etc....something for everybody. The food was freshly made, very tasty and excellent value. Service was good also. Will definitely go back for more!

Great grub, great service and friendly barman, couldn’t ask for more. So good in fact, we’ve been two nights running! Sadly it’s the end of our hols, but if we are ever back in the area we will be straight back!

We visited the masons as a family tonight for a meal and drink.we went for the sea food platter.mixed grill and mega burger.and 2 kids meals.the food was fantastic.best sea food we have ever had and we have been to many restaurants for sea food.mike the owner was also a great host and his wife does the cooking and What a fabtastic chef.everything freshly cooked and all meals came out at the same time.very reasonable as well.we will definitely visit thos place again before we leave from our holidays.

We decided to visit here as we were staying here on holiday. A good selection of food that was very reasonably priced. Considering we were a party on 9 they managed to get our food out together and it was of generous portions and piping hot. Because of this we only managed to share a few amazing desserts; one of which was some delicious rhubarb ice cream in a sundae. It can be busy so I recommend that you book a table.

We really enjoyed the amazing food at the Masons Arms during a large family outing. There was a great variety on the menu to suit all tastes and ages. We were made to feel really welcomed and the two toddlers in our group were kept amused by the toy area the pub has to offer. The home made curries come highly recommended and we will be back to sample more of the menu.

Joined by my son home from uni, my wife and a neighbour, we all enjoyed a terrific, oh so tasty meal at The Mason's Arms tonight, felt compelled to come on here to Trip Advisor to say just now tasty it all was. We feel so lucky to have this pub (and the Barn Bistro opposite) on our doorstep. Thanks Mike and Nadine. X

Seeing other reviews, thought I would pop in on a recent visit to the lakes.

Four of us went for a meal and we were made to feel welcome and were well looked after. Pleasant pub atmosphere with a log fire stove giving out a fair amount of warmth. Orders were taken at the table and the waitress was very keen and tried hard. Two of us had chicken pie, one steak and ale pie and one scampi. The pies filling were very good thought to my mind the puff pastry cap is a bit of a negative, the chips were cooked to perfection but the steamed frozen vegetable selection let the meal down. The deserts, treacle tart and toffee fudge cake were superb.

On holiday locally, and this pub had been recommended by the owners. It isn't open until 6pm so u can't really phone and book... so when we arrived it was busy and we're told we would have a wait, but we're on holiday so that doesn't matter. The menu is massive! So many things to choose and it all sounds delicious! We had two of the South African inspired dishes, both were really lovely. Really nice local people who were very welcoming. You'll miss out if u don't go!

From the moment we entered we were made to feel at home and not a problem having our dog with us, Mike (LandLord) popped round from the Bar with a treat for him as soon as we were seated. We decided on the first night to get a takeaway and ordered a Steak (Hubby) and I tried the Durban Curry - it arrived quickly despite a number of people in the Bar ordering food, with apologies from Mike for the delay. Fantastic food!! On the second visit we decided to eat in, again we were given a lovely welcome with treats for our dog. We had the pleasure of meeting Nadine (LandLady) who is from South Africa and adds her twist to the menu and feasted on Haddock and the Seafood Basket - OMG what more can I say. We came back night after night for the food and the lovely welcome and were never disappointed; sadly we missed the Goat Curry (Nadine marinates it for 48 hours in Rum) next time - we will be back!!! By the way she makes a mean Irish Coffee too!! Start at the beginning of the menu and try it all if you get chance!!! Recommend, yes in a heartbeat and then some and more.

This is our third visit to The Mason's Arms and it continues to provide excellent service and very good food.

We stayed near this pub and decided to try the food. The owners are very friendly, nice atmosphere, and the food simply delicious. They serve real ale which was excellent as well. The curry was one of the best. We will be back.

Just had a delicious meal at the Masons Arms , my chicken with ham, mozzarella and a garlic sauce was out of this world. My husband had a chicken curry very tasty.

Wonderful pub that's very dog friendly. Food was excellent, and there was lots of it. Highly recommended. I was up there for my birthday staying at Ellen Hall nearby. Will definitely be visiting the area again

Tenía la más increíble almuerzo hoy en este encantador pub local agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente la tarta de carne y Ale y mi marido tenía la mejor parrillada tuvo jamás. Nos molesta que no cabía en uno de los postres reconfortante! Yo quería probar el Sticky Toffee Pudding - pero no de la habitación a la izquierda. Creo que cualquiera podría encontrar algo que me guste en el menú variado y excelente relación calidad-precio.

Recientemente pasamos un tiempo en este pub ya que estaban alojados en las cabañas de vacaciones al lado. Nuestra primera noche tuvimos una cena y bebidas. Los propietarios fueron muy acogedores y hablador. Estaban contentos de servir a 8 de nosotros aunque no habíamos reservado. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente. La comida era muy sabrosa y disfrutado por todo el mundo. Volvimos otra noche, pero sólo para las bebidas. Muy agradable pub village.

Everything you would expect in a country pub! Evening meals were delicious and large portions! All very reasonably price. We will be back next time we are visiting.

Stayed at Hollybank cottage (next door) with friends and decided to pop in here for a Sunday roast yesterday - excellent choice! The couple that run the pub (Mike and Nadine I think they were called) welcomed us like family and created a lovely atmosphere. This is as close you will get to going to your mums for a proper Sunday dinner! Full roast dinner with all the trimmings (and I mean everything! Turkey, gammon, amazing roasties, veg, stuffing, pigs in blankets and crackling). Then came the desserts - again completely home made, indulgent tasty goodness! (I had sticky toffee pudding, the best I've ever had). Aside from the food they offer an Excellent selection of wines and beers, open fire, music, and great company. It's a quiet little local where you could just relax and enjoy. Big thumbs up and thanks for the lovely Sunday afternoon!

Booked meal for five people.Food arrived quickly and both starters and main courses where excellent value for money.Staff where friendly and everything was reasonably priced for what you got.Definetly recommend a visit to anyone who staying nearby or just passing through.Going back to same area in March next year and will defiantly revisit Masons Arms again

Went with friends for an evening meal. Good varied choice on menu. Staff were friendly and service was pretty quick. The steak pie was delicious and served with a very generous portion of homemade chips. Food enjoyed by everyone and if back down this way again we will definitely be back.

we were staying in cottage next door so decided to go for evening meal the food was excellent the curry was hot it doesn't state that in the menu but it was it was very clean and very friendly atmosphere thinking of going back for Sunday lunch

My husband and I eat at The Masons Arms on a very regular basis. The food is always top notch and we have never had a bad meal or felt the need to complain. The staff are very friendly and courteous and food is served very promptly. At extra busy times, food can take a little while longer, but again, this is to be expected. The new owners are lovely people, nothing too much trouble, very friendly couple. The atmosphere is very home from home and we are always made to feel very welcome. The menu is very varied with a South African influence, thanks to Nadine. I think we have worked our way through the entire menu now and it is difficult to find a favourite meal, they are all so delicious. Very well worth a visit or two. Christine and Chris!

Visited with a friend for lunch. I ordered Sweet and SourChicken with Rice. My friend ordered the Lamb Curry.We waited ages for the food to arrive.The portions were far too big. I had to take some home.The chicken had been roasted and chopped up. There was skin and bone. The Lamb Curry also had bone in it.The Landlord was affable and the lady afterwards told us we could have had small portions.We did not enjoy the meal and will not go back.

A perfect family pub with lovely food and a friendly atmosphere. The owners are very inviting and we visited this pub on three separate occasions during our stay to the area. The food is homemade and is very tasty with a range of specials as well as the menu choices. They also cater for children with a selection of toys in a little area. The pool table and darts kept the older ones entertained. We will definitely be visiting again.

This is a typical country pub great food at reasonable prices . also good selection of beers , they have a pool table and also a Beer garden .they are dog friendly ,Only allowed in certain part of the pub. The land lord is very friendly and helpful Well worth the ! mile walk from the cottage were we were staying for a few days

Very tasty and cooked just right sirloin steak served with nice crispy chips, side saladAnd mushroom sauce on the side

We haven't been here in a while it was changed hands since we last went. There was different things on the menu which was nice to see, staff were really friendly and welcoming and food was nice the portion sizes were nice and big

Six people visited , all had different meals ,Great value pub food to a high standard .Would recommend .We all only had main courses, staff friendly and helpful .

This place is a little gem. It is in fact in Gilcrux. The food is the best home cooked food I have ever eaten in a pub. All home cooked including the best chips ever. All their fish and meat is locally sourced and the steak I had was a rump. I asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Melt in the mouth and very tender. My husband had the fish and chips and these were also extremely good. For desert the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. Lots of choices of real ale or beers and the staff were a delight. I'm glad that we decided to ignore the first review here and make up our own minds. It was our pleasure to eat here and we will be back.

We were on holiday with the family (a large one) and needed a place to eat and drink. We had tried several take aways and restaurants in the local area. We decided to try this place out one (typically wet) evening. The pub has a nice vibe and has a welcoming feel to it. It also has a special section for dog-owners and their dogs which is important in the country (for visitors and locals alike). The food was of a good standard and plentiful (we only had the smaller portions) - good home made cooking that did not disappoint. The local ale was well kept and was a good/tasty brew. We also enjoyed the pool table and darts board too. Would recommend this 'local' to anyone.

We arrived Friday evening and the pub was busy but not full. There's a good selection of beers/wines & spirits and we were spoilt for choice. We ordered a prawn cocktail and a carrot and coriander soup for starters - they were delicious. For mains we ordered medium rare steak and home made lasagne. The steak was cooked perfectly and came with plenty of vegetables and an amazing peppercorn sauce. The lasagne was home made and was piping hot came with a slice of garlic bread and gorgeous chunky chips. The staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We have been a few times before and will definitely be going again
