Masons Arms in Harrogate

Amazing service & staff great! Food & drink brilliant, recommend the belly pork! Will be back soon!

What a great find this was! We wanted a nice place to stay for Ripon Races . The Masons Arms far exceeded our expectations, set in a small village not far from the race course . The room was excellent and had a nice en suite with shower. Downstairs the pub was true country style and the food both good and reasonably priced . Everyone was very welcoming and happy to chat. If you want an idyllic place to stay then I have no hesitation in recommending The Masons Arms . We will be back soon 👍

Had Sunday dinner here. Great food, fresh veggies and giant Yorkshire puds. We sat outside with our dogs. Service was prompt and friendly. The price for Sunday dinner was good value as it was top quality (£14).

Lovely village pub, first visit based on positive reviews and they were correct, lovely food, great service, we will certainly return.

Ordered the chicken sizzling plate with no sauce. After waiting a good 45 minutes ( was told because there was chicken in the order it took longer to cook) it came with sauce so sent it back and it was back in a few minutes. The chicken was well over cooked, the stir fry was under cooked but the rice was nice but cold by the time the sizzling plate came back. Ordered the apple and pear crumble which was lovely however my custard was served in a jug that should in my opinion be in the bin. When paying the bill said about my issues and was told it was my own fault as I didn’t want sauce with my chicken sizzling plate. The jug he did not mention. Rude young gentleman server.

We were staying local and decided to try out the masons arms after a day of exploring with our dogs. We were warmly greeted by Molly and shown to a table,and both of our dogs were allowed to accompany us and sit at the table. All of the menu items sounded great, and the menu is very well written. We ordered our food with Molly,and the food was served very promptly,and very hot, straight from the kitchen,with a bowl of water for the dogs. Both of our starters and main courses were absolutely faultless.Very well presented, and extremely tasty.We wanted to sample the desserts as well,but we were too full up from the incredible mains. We are so pleased we dined here,and would recommend to anyone in the area. Great food, great drinks,and very welcoming to both humans and dogs. Thank you to Molly and the kitchen team.We will definitely be back when next visiting the area. 5⭐

Lovely if slightly remote location(it's not that far from Harrogate but it's very rural with single track unlit roads). Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff friendly. I would definitely visit again. Oh, and Monday nights in the area it's almost impossible to get a hot meal, so plan ahead :)

Beautiful location. Comfortable bed. Lovely!

Staff were lovely and very welcoming on our arrival for our 1 night stay. Room was lovely and set up very nice with lovely soft bedding and towels. Kettle, tea bags, coffee, milk and sugar were all provided as well as breakfast options. Will definitely return when in the area again. 10/10

Great food on our Sunday visit. Both the standard and roast dishes were enjoyed by everyone. Service was good too.

The Sunday roast is one of the best ever. After picking my partner up from travelling back to the uk for 24 hours when I asked her where she wanted to eat she said straight away The Masons Arms. Everything about this place from the staff, service to the quality of the food is excellent

We booked here to attend a car show at Newby Hall. Parking to the rear of the property which is secluded and out the way which was perfect. Check in was swift and easy. Lovely little pub which seems to be the heart of the village. Locals were very friendly. Room had tea and coffee facilities, some juice and a cake which was a really nice touch. I have to mention the landlord. He was a really really top guy and made our stay! Will definitely return. Thanks Gary!!

Great pub/hotel in a pretty village close to Ripon. Friendly with great staff and delicious food, especially Sunday lunch.

We called in on the off-chance hoping for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. There was a table free and we were served promptly. I had a Sunday roast beef lunch and it was excellent. Beef cooked perfectly. Cauliflower cheese was excellent and it was served with veg and gravy. I would go out of my way to come here again for Sunday lunch. We all chose different meals and there was not a scrap left on any of our plates. Great job, well done.

Fabulous apartment with kitchen and balcony. Very peaceful village. Stayed there for Ripon races. Approx £14 for taxi each way. Save that by self-catering. Great beer in pub. Great hosts.

Everything about the Masons Arms is perfect. It’s a warm and welcoming village pub, with a wonderful staff and great fish and chips.

Three of us had a meal here on Easter Saturday. The place was busy but service from the two young waiters was very good. All our meals were well presented and very good. All the dishes were reasonably priced.

A tad late with this review BUT important nevertheless. My daughter and son in law renewed their wedding vows in the village church on 23rd December, followed by a prearranged meal for 34 people. Gary, Lesley , Hannah and the team did a spectacular job, from start to finish. 3 courses, served promptly and perfectly. Two of the guests were actually chefs and even they were impressed!

We Had Roast meals x 2 tonight lamb and pork...and they was quite simply - absolutely delicious epic perfection... iam fussy and I couldn't fault it 1 bit....Fantastic 💯👌

Absolutely perfect Sunday Lunch. Beautifully cooked vegetables and excellent mushroom wellington. Welcoming pub especially for dogs, good service and perfect pints. Very well done.!

We held the village Tennis Club annual dinner at the Masons-a gathering of around 20 people.The menu suggestions we received were excellent-canapés followed by a choice of 3 main courses and desserts. We ordered in advance and discussed the timings-after that we left everything to the team at the Masons.The result was an outstanding evening which prompted positive responses from everyone who came. I have always been a fan of especially the Sunday lunch here-now I know they can do larger catering events too. Thank you-I’m sure next year’s will be 30 people rather than 20!

Pretty village location. Our Sunday lunch was completely faultless. Fresh quality ingredients, beautifully cooked and presented. The beef was meltingly tender and the mushroom Wellington was surprisingly light and very tasty. Crunchy roast potatoes, lovely fresh veg selection and good quality gravy in generous portions.

Stunning pub in the most beautiful location. A warm welcome awaits you. The accommation is well thought out and everything is thought of. The food is delicious and the staff are welcoming, attentive and couldn't be any more helpful. A must try 👌

Had meals meals in the past which were very good but on this occasion we had a limited choice as the Sunday roast meats had run out, we were served chips instead of roast potatoes, limited vegetables (one cauliflower cheese floret between four of us! ). If they had advised us the Sunday roast was not fully available we could have chosen something else from the menu. Service was a bit slow. On the plus side our friends stayed overnight and found the room very clean and comfortable.

Had an excellent Sunday meal with friends and stayed overnight in a wonderful en-suite room, which was very clean and comfortable. The owners were most accommodating, friendly and welcoming. Thank you very much.

Most friendly and welcoming staff providing excellent food, drink and offering very clean and comfortable accommodation. Highly recommended.

Amazing place amazing food amazing staff what more could you ask for!

Welcoming pub with good vibe and choice of beers. First class Sunday lunch and service.

Visited today after a day at The Great Yorkshire Show. Looked for a little country pub on the way back and stumbled across this beautiful little pub. We had a friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar and they found us a table even thought we obviously hadn’t booked. Food was excellent hot and very tasty. Great quality of food, and it was so reasonable. The staff were so welcoming, even though this pub seems more of a locals pub we felt very welcome. Thank you for a lovely meal. If we are ever in the area again we will happily visit again. 10/10 would recommend. Pictured the wrapper chicken and Halloumi Burger.

Remember to book! We were very lucky to get squeezed in with a highchair and space for a wheelchair. Delicious food, can’t wait to come back.

Lovely old fashioned pub with real ale and in a lovely setting across the road from a beautiful trickling river . Food was excellent and reasonably priced as was the beer . Well worth a visit .

Good food and excellent service with a friendly atmosphere

Stayed locally for 9 days so we'd plenty of opportunities to sample the beer and food on offer. We received a warm welcome on every visit. Ales were well kept and fairly priced. Only ate once but it was a great meal. On time, hot, tasty, good value for money. Wine list, a decent choice and again, fairly priced. Much enjoyed and very likely to revisit the Village and return to the Mason's.

Did a repeat visit at end of feb23 and had a excellent Sunday lunch ..Started by having a sharing plate of Nachos between 3 of us ,this was very big and perfect for 3 to share,very tasty and nice. We then had the Sunday lunch 1 each of Beef ,Lamb and pork. All meat was perfectly cooked as we're all of the vegetables including the cauliflower cheese.Service was very good as usual.

The food never disappoints here, everything is always fresh and very tasty. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat at the moment. The sticky pork bites are amazing! 🤩

Booked to stay at The Mason Arms for two nights 11th and 12th November and wasn't disappointed. Stayed in room one, absolutely brilliant accommodation, extremely clean, bright, warm and spacious. Breakfast provided was Contentinal style, ample and in room. Tea and coffee making facilities available in room. Plenty of hot water available for showers. Ate in the pub both evenings as food was excellent. I ordered Chicken Sizzler with rice followed by Apple and Pear Crumble absolutely delicious and plentiful. My husband ordered Beef and Ale Pie, choice of chips or mash and vegetables followed by Chocolate Sundae, again amazing. Didn't get a photograph of his pie meal as he tucked into it so soon! Please note the green cabbage was from my husband's plate, he didn't want it and I love it! Please see photographs of what I managed to take to support the quality of food on offer here. Truly an asset to the beautiful village of Bishop Monkton. Compliments to the Chef and all the team at the Mason Arms they truly deserve to be successful as their hard work clearly is a credit to them. Highly, highly recommend a stay here, you won't be disappointed. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

We were staying locally while cycling the Way of the Roses, but were coming in late as we'd had a mechanical issue with my bike. On the advice of our host (Jane at Mill View Barns) we called ahead to the pub to find out what time last orders were. When we ended up being further delayed, the team allowed us to call in an order before they closed the kitchen and we rushed over to meet our food. If they hadn't had done this, we would have gone to bed very hungry and grumpy. Food was tasty and generous portions. Thank you to the whole team for helping us out!

Stayed one night and ate in the restaurant. Food was very good, room modern, well equipped very clean. Owners hard working, staff very polite. Good location for Harrogate, Fountains, Harlow Carr & the Dales.

Initially I was not going to write this review as the staff at the time did try to rectify the problems, however my husband messaged the manager later in the evening with our experience and was told that we were liars (ie. I had eaten half of the meal before it was returned to the kitchen) and that we were not welcome back in the pub even for drinks. We arrived and was shown to a table by a waitress who seemed to be the only member of staff dealing with food orders for the whole of the pub and therefore was missing or forgetting things, although she did make us very welcome and fetch us a bowl of water for the dog. Orders were taken for food which took over 40 minutes to arrive. The waitress asked if we wanted any sauces etc, we answered yes,and assumed that the cutlery would arrive with the sauces. she disappeared and we then saw her taking other diners orders and had to be called over again when it was obvious that she had forgotten. The gammon meal was small but cooked ok, the meat tender and juicy but served on a cold plate so by the time the cutlery had arrived everything had cooled considerably - we did not complain about any of the above - the poor girl was running around like a scalded cat! However, the Cajun Chicken Burger in a ciabatta bun was a whole different experience (I wish I had taken photos to do the meal justice) I was presented with a wooden breadboard with a portion of fries in a separate bowl (fine) though who wants to eat of a breadboard I will never know! The bread looked like it had been left out to dry for the day and was dry and wizened. I did eat the top half of this, smothered in cajun mayo to give it some moisture. the rest of the bread was left. The chicken fillet was much larger than the bread but was overcooked and also appeared to have been left out to dry for the day as it was solid. I did break a chunk off the end and try to eat it; notice I say break as it was impossible to get my knife to cut it (a steak knife may have worked better). This chunk of chicken disintegrated as I bit into it,, it was so dry! I was ready to give up on this when the waitress reappeared and asked if everything was okay, I was about to say yes (as is the British way) but actually said No, its not okay and tapped my knife on the chicken as a demonstration. She apologized again and took the burger and half bun back to the kitchen, leaving the fries with me as I was by now, quite hungry. She returned with more apologies and said chef would prepare another which I mistakenly agreed to as after another 30 mins or so, we were no longer wanting to stay there, hubby had finished his meal a long time ago and I asked a member of the bar staff for the bill, who then tried to blame the waitress for many of the problems There were more apologies and the price of the burger and a pint of lager was removed from the bill but we had been charged for 3 pints of beer when hubby had only had 2, so this too had to be rectified before we could leave. Given the other good reviews about this place I was really surprised and saddened at our experience but would have happily sat outside whilst we were staying in the village with a pint and crisps etc. However the message back from the manager to my husband made it very clear that we were not welcome. I am expecting a 'angry' response from the manager/owner as I have seen them from him previously,. however this was our true experience and you can see from my many other reviews, this is not something I make a habit of..

Good meal, burger and chips very tasty, great staff, sat outside with our dogs, pub quite busy altogether a pleasant experience. Outside could do with a weed and a bit of paint but not too bad overall

first visit for a long time and very impressed with the design of the pub the sunday lunch had very good choices and the service was excellent

First class customer service. Great people. Can't recommend enough! Rooms top class. Staff very much on their game. Will be returning and that is the best compliment.

A lovely village pub and restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. The food is generally excellent, helped by the fact that staff are quick to rectify any problems. We are fast becoming “steak-night” regulars.

Steak night. What a joke. My husbands steak resembled a lump of coal - yes he asked for it to be well done but not a burnt offering. Mine was terrible meant to be medium but done to within an inch of its life. I...

Very clean establishment,very accomadating, one of the staff named Evie is a credit to the establishment

Staff are really friendly here and couldn't do enough for us. They even let us use the chalk menu board for our entertainment. Thank you for an amazing night

I came here for dinner whilst staying in the area. The food tasted great and the service was brilliant.

We were so happy to stumble on this place, having watched the UCI Cycling in nearby Ripon and struggled to find anywhere dog friendly for a Sunday lunch. We weren't disappointed: nice hot food with prompt service and our labrador Tilly was made to feel...

Popped in here for a drink on a Friday night. It was so busy! Lots of people having a drink and a laugh. Also lots of diners. Efficient staff and a great atmosphere. Very reasonably priced. A great local pub.

I visited here with my parents at the end of August and it was really nice. We saw a sign for it on the main road and found it amongst its pretty village surroundings. We had lunch and a pudding and it was really nice...

So there you have it, a cracking bank holiday Monday with people relaxing and thinking - let's go to the pub and have some lunch - not here. Not serving food today as there is a fuel problem to the kitchen we are told. What's wrong with a sandwich other cold dish which is just what's needed on a cracking day. To be fair at least they bothered to open which is more than can be said for their competitor.

Stayed 2 nights at The Masons Arms. Stayed in room 1. Spacious room, spotless. Large shower and big fluffy towels. Comfy bed. Breakfast not available but orange juice, muffin and cereal bar left for both mornings. Ate in the pub both evenings and choice and...

Went for a meal on the way back from Newby Hall. Lovely little country pub. Good menu and reasonable prices. We ordered 2 Steak and Ale pie's and 2 kids meals. Great service. Food was top class - best pie I've had in ages ! Only comment would be that a bit more mash was needed ! But apart from that can't fault it !

Out on a drive in the country due to the wet weather we found this great pub. The food was tasty. My husband had the haddock, it was skinned and boned and had a very delicate taste. The beef in my pie was tender and the vegetables were crunchy just as I like them. The chocolate brownie was very moist. I just wanted more of that ice cream!

Fantastic staff, very helpful, friendly and polite!

Stopped here for a night when visiting the area very nice little pub only has 3 rooms ours was very clean and tidy and spotless comfy bed and good size tv breakfast items left in the room for morning as they do not off a cooked breakfast which is a shame as if it was extra would of paid for it.

Came here on the recommendation from the owner of our cottage and wasn't disappointed. In a beautiful village, lovely setting and seating outside. Very friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely, very tasty and couldn't fault it. We had the wild garlic mushrooms, wrapped chicken and gammon. Definitely recommend.

I organised a coast to coast cycle ride and we had too many people to stay in one location, so the Masons Arms came to the rescue with the 3 B&B; rooms there. We also booked the evening meal for 10 people. The staff were very accommodating and the food was fantastic.

Stayed for one night on the 24th Fabulous location. Room was excellent and immaculate. Lovely staff very welcoming. Will definitely be back but for 2 nights next time

Absolutely cracking pub! Beer good,food was amazing proper home cooked very tasty and nicely presented, girls behind the bar and who served us were very friendly will definitely go back for a revisit and maybe an overnight stay

We had 2 visits to This lovely pub in one weekend while staying at Mill View Barns, the Friday night we had a meal and then joined in the quiz night which was brilliant we were rubbish but the staff and locals made us feel really welcome. Then on the Saturday night we had 24 of us have a family meal the staff were great at serving us all and nothing was to much trouble. Highly recommend the beautiful village pub.

Everyone thinks they can cook fish and chips but they can't . However, the Masons Arms can. They were well cooked and presented and absolutely delicious. My mates wife had the chicken stir fry , which see says was also delicious. The staff were all happy and friendly and looked after us very well. I will be going back to try the monkfish and prawn stir fry!

Friendly bunch & very good food/beer. Easy to find off the A61. Village 'local' with new owners & chef. Great improvement.

Booked for lunch and very impressed with all the dishes and the staff were friendly and very helpful even brought some water for the dog without asking.Nice comfy chairs and some lovely food served at reasonable prices and will be returning.Service was great you are doing a good job making happy customers.

The food was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.The pub had a good atmosphere which contributed to what we thought was an enjoyable evening. However, BEWARE after receiving the bill and paying it and on our way out of the pub we were called back in and told that we hadn't paid enough. We found that this was a service charge that we didn't expect. This amounted to about 12% of the bill. If I want to give a tip then I think it should be my decision, not have it sneakily included afterwards.

We stumbled upon this because our base for a stay in the area didn’t have food available. Lucky for us - excellent food and beer, served by pleasant, helpful hosts. Highly recommended.

Attending a family gathering in the pub and the staff really couldn’t do enough to ensure that we were all happy. Service throughout the afternoon was really good, all the staff really going the extra mile. The food was superb. Thanks.

Decided to ditch our usual easy curry night option in favour of a more fine dining experience. The Masons is a cosy, welcoming pub with lovely staff and a great menu. Will be going back with my parents and other friends.

Don't get me wrong - the food is good although the menu isn't very extensive. The service, however, is poor. We were there over two hours and only had two courses. Our finished mains were waiting 30 minutes to be cleared, when they were we were offered a dessert menu but no drink refills...20 minutes later we had to seek these out ourselves. Meanwhile another couple had been in, had 2 courses, paid up and left! Not only that but we were seated in the pub, surrounded by people vaping indoors, and cigarette smoke blowing in through the open front doors from the smokers stood on the doorstep - off-putting to say the least!

Due to visit this lovely pub for the third time tomorrow - great place to take family and friends when they visit the area. Comfortable seating, dogs welcome, good food from a good selection on various menus. A la carte, early bird, specials, children’s meals. Took advantage of the two main courses for £18 but could have chosen the early bird menu,2 courses £13.95. Fish and chips lovely with chunky chips and home made tartare sauce but my favourite is roast meat sandwich with chips and gravy, from the lite bite menu. Might try one of the sizzler dishes tomorrow . No need to book but would advise you do as it got very busy the two lunch times I’ve been in. Very friendly staff, nothing too much trouble.

It was a pleasure to be served good quality food by such friendly staff. The gammon steak and lamb Henry were particularly appreciated. I enjoyed my small bottle of excellent prosecco. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch.

We visited the pub a few times for a drink whilst staying in the village on a caravan rally. The Black Sheep ale was superb. On the Sunday lunchtime whilst sat outside enjoying a refreshing drink in the sunshine, we saw the staff come out with a couple of Sunday lunches, they looked so good we instantly decided to stay for lunch and we were not disappointed, it was excellent, good food, well presented and with plenty of fresh vegetables. The interior of the pub has been tastefully modernised and is well decorated. A perfect country village pub in this very pretty village.

Was really looking forward to it for my Mums birthday. First course was lovely then it all went a bit downhill. Main course was ages and they got 2 out of 6 dishes completely wrong - had to wait 20 mins to get another drink and dessert took for ever. Food was nice you just need a lot of patience and don’t order veg as you won’t get any. Birra Moretti was cheap!

Been a while since we last visited the Mason Arms ... The staff were very welcoming and the menu has a good selection of dishes which are very reasonably priced. The food was excellent as was the service. A very enjoyable evening.

We love coming to eat and drink @ The Masons Arms. Always a friendly atmosphere and the food is 2nd to none. Fully recommend a visit here as you won't be disappointed. Look out for their spectacular theme nights too! 😁

Quite simply the best main meal we've had in a long time. We visited without realising the kitchen was closing but they were so kind and allowed us to order anyway. The chicken supreme is AMAZING. Delicious, full of flavour and beautifully done. We practically licked the plates clean. The staff were friendly and so welcoming. You could tell from the atmosphere this is a well loved place and we only wish we could have a place like it at home! It's also incredibly good value! We've paid more for meals that didn't even come close in quality and happily paid more than they asked.

...Abbey to Harrogate and fancied lunch. What a pretty village! What a great pub! 3 real ales on offer, and a really nice menu. All four of us gave our food 8/10 we all had sandwiches: a crayfish prawn & avocado, a fish butty and 2x steak with caramelised onion & horseradish. Each was accompanied by a serving of skinny fries. Service very friendly, prices reasonable & WiFi available. We shall come here again! Thanks Gary!

Called on for lunch during a walk with friends.

Ate here whilst staying on a caravan site in the village. Both my wife and I had the fish and chips which were very good - they did serve a home made tartar sauce, but that lacked a bit taste. However, the rest of the food was well cooked, and good quality. The pub serves 3 beers, black sheep, theakstons and a hambleton ale, but apparently these don't seem to change - bit of a shame really as there are lots of great craft/micro breweries in Yorkshire. Staff are pleasant and would happily eat there again

We were very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem of a place while we were staying nearby. We were made so welcome and the food was great, lovely place. Found out they have accommodation so next time we are in this area we will make a beeline for this great place, dogs are also welcome.

There is always a warm welcome and great food with a good variety of dishes freshly prepared. I have no hesitation at all in recommending The Mason's Arms.
