Masons Avenue in City of London, Westminster

Wonderful 9th century coaching house that specialises in mead

Nice friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices reccomend any day

Mason Arms is a great place to have a night out lovely atmosphere as a traditional village pub should be, good beers on tap log burners in both rooms sports channel on TV if you like that kind of stuff the staff are friendly enough went there for a surprise birthday get together we will definitely return soon 😀 👍

Lovely pub with real fire, Friendly staff.

Nice traditional local pub. Friendly and welcoming staff. And customers

A brilliant little pub especially since new management. Cocktails are a lovely addition! Best pub in the village. Roaring fire, great company.

The locals are lucky to have this pub. 🙏🏾

Great little hidden gem of a pub. A proper throwback to exactly what a pub is/was. Good choice of drinks, log fire, great atmosphere.

Best pub in Crawshawbooth, great food, good selection of beers and friendly environment!

Great service and nice seating areas.

So sad that the landlord is shutting the pub down. 50% off all drinks when j was there. No idea about future directions...

Real fire, good cask ale......great after a big walk

Perfect place to chill with a beer and your dog or family

Small back street local. A rare survivor these days. Very friendly. Usually a couple of real ales on. Worth visiting if in the area.

Really nice pub, full of history and friendly staff.

Great friendly staff. Clean safe environment. Social distancing place

Proper pub, well looked after ales, pool, music, good company,

It's ok bit young for me service good

Nice friendly staff, knows how to pour a pint

Estaba en la ciudad para la graduación de mi hijo. Busqué recomendaciones locales y encontré El Vino. Gran lugar, muy buen servicio, buena selección de bebidas. Tapas un poco más calientes la próxima vez por favor! !

Proper northern welcome, spot on pint of Guinness and the best Pie I've had in years. EXCELLENT!

Its a really good pub,I travel from Burnley to enjoy the place.

Popped in for quick drink while waiting for friends. Nice atmosphere.

Good friendly pub ,good priced ale

Lo pasé muy bien, mi segunda visita en una semana. V atento y experto personal, María el gerente es muy agradable. El vino y la comida son igualmente impresionantes, el lugar perfecto para después del trabajo. ¡Y conveniente - a 2 minutos del trabajo!

Vino a tomar una copa el jueves por la noche y tapas con amigos. El lugar estaba muy lleno, por lo que nuestra reserva era esencial. Buena variedad de bebidas disponibles y buen ambiente, pero las tapas fueron muy decepcionantes, caras y sin sabor. Limpias patatas bravas y alubias con chorizo. Para ser justos, el paté era bueno, pero el manchego fue uno de los ejemplos menos sabrosos que he tenido. Tuvimos un par de otras tapas, que ahora no puedo recordar (lo cual dice mucho). En general está bien para una bebida rápida después del trabajo, pero no coma aquí.

Wide choice of beers friendly staff

Nice country pub with Friendly staff

Love our local! Friendly people, great beers, lovely fire and of course Freddy the dog is just my fave 😀

Great little Pub fantastic atmosphere

Great little little pub with a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Éramos un grupo de siete. Tomamos unas copas en el bar. No reservamos una mesa, pero nos las arreglamos para conseguir una mesa grande para nosotros. Pedimos tablas de queso y tapas. La comida era muy buena. Nos sirvió un caballero encantador. Después de nuestra cena nos fuimos a un hotel de cinco estrellas para más bebidas. Nos hubiera gustado tener el mismo camarero que nos sirvió allí. Sus recomendaciones de comida eran épicas. Disfrutamos nuestro tiempo en El Vino. Bien hecho.

Good pub but should open earlier

Bar de vinos confiable para bebidas de negocios. El bar se llena de gente y cuando los meseros tranquilos traen bebidas a su mesa.

Nice local little pub. Showing football and child friendly. Also a very good loyalty card system not seen at other bar.

Kudt a god old fashioned pub good beer and nice people.

Until I received the bill, I had no idea that it was Davy group restaurant because the other places, though charming were so dated and old fashioned. El Vino is the complete opposite. Modern, spacious, with great fresh food in decent portions and reasonable price. Lovely friendly staff. We were in and out there within an hour. We shared the five plat tapas special for £27 (which Enoteca around the corner will get you two plates). Two drinks, Pastel de Nata and coffees for £58 incl tip.

We went for a tapas dinner to El Vino, and regardless of being a busy evening, we had an excellent table service. As a Spaniard, I'm normally disappointed with the Spanish themed food, but I have to say that the mix between Spanish, Portuguese, and South American cuisine, does works here. Having said that, they have to improve some of the dishes, the Patatas Bravas sauce could be a little bit better, and I was surprised of not finding croquetas, or anything with chorizo or black pudding in the tapas menu (but they offer us a special, Paella with chorizo, which is not very Spanish) Overall, we felt very welcomed, the food came promptly, so we had a very nice time there, it would be better if they increase the quantities of the tapas as well, but it is a nice place for a bite, or a dinner after work.

Great venue! Lovely staff, great advice on drinks choices and tasty tapas. What more could you need after work?!

I arranged retirement drinks and nibbles for my manager at El Vino. The evening went really well and the staff were really helpful from pre arrangements to being on hand for the whole event. Would definately recommend for group drinks.

We've now used the room downstairs for our meeting on several occasions and it is always an excellent experience. The staff are polite, attentive and present. There's a warm quirky atmosphere, and the food is divine It's like stepping away and just having a rest in an armchair for a while. I can't recommend this place and their people enough!

Toilets had filth everywhere and tbh the food was very poor quality. I told the manager and they brushed it off. I was absolutely disgusted with his aggressive and self opinionated personality. I was absolutely disgusted!!! Never ever again will i even walk through that door. The bouncer also stormed through the female toilet intimidate us when we tried to complain. Honestly hated every moment of this horrid place.

First of all, the bouncer kept entering the ladies toilets which made me very uncomfortable. We then had to wait over 45 minutes to get a drink when the bar wasn’t even very busy... to then realise they had given us the wrong drinks. The waitress then accused me of not paying my bill. I expressed my disappointment to the manager who then got very defensive and aggressive. I decided to leave the bar after the worst night I’ve experienced and he decided to follow me out of the bar to continue arguing with me.

Nice and friendly pub. Good staff and a terrific pint of Moorhouses

Friedly local pub good ales and company

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff :-)

Don't over look this trendy bar near a very good old ale pub. This place even has a couple of ales on tap. The place does have music but is not too loud and nice very comfy seats make for a chilled and relaxed atmosphere. Good staff behind bar and relaxed vibe. If in the area and visiting the various classic old pubs then stop by. Yes city people will occupy the evenings late in the week but still viable.

I ate here on Wednesday night with my family after a Guildhall event. We were slightly late but the staff were very accommodating, giving us a choice of tables. Both the service and the quality of the food and wine that we ordered were very good.

I had requested a quiet table and I was pleased to be led to a nook with bench seating in the round with a high back. The table and seating was spacious and perfectly adequate for our purposes of a business style lunch for 4, with plenty of discussion which was perfectly audible, although the restaurant was not excessively busy. We ordered only one course with drinks and coffee to end. The food was perfectly fine, we did not order wine. The coffee was good. The décor and ambience is smart yet relaxed and somewhat calming. Service was efficient and undramatic.

Great burgers and service was good. Good value for money and venue is nice.

Popped into C&B for a quick meeting over a glass of white so didn't try the food. Waitress was prompt and helpful and we felt well looked after. Only slight downside was that the music was a touch intrusive, but that was our fault for choosing to meet in a bar.

First week of operation after re-furb. Staff appeared inexperienced - we didn't know who was supposed to be serving us and neither did they. End result, hard to attract a waiter/waitress. And the place was only half-full.

Consistently good. Service is friendly. Food is very good. Good place to have a lunch.

Waiter was half asleep. I asked to drop the mushrooms and beans from a full english and to have two eggs. I ended up with four!!!

after booking online, was told on arrival there was no booking in my name. However, was not an issue as it was fairly quiet. Were shown our seats and left for a fair while before asking if we wanted a drink. The lunch was to be a quick bite. Well, the size of the portion meant it was quick! I ordered a ham ciabatta. It was a small square of toasted ciabatta with a couple of slices of reformed, processed ham and apple sauce

Unsually poor service l;ast Monday. I was surprised and was with clients!

Good for lunch & drinks, nice booth and food and service

enjoyed our trip here. staff helpful, and good food and wine. thanks very much.

Good place to catch up with friends/business lunch

I&#039;ve been going to C&amp;B Mason&#039;s Ave for 8 years now and have to say that it&#039;s deteriorated massively.<br /><br />The service was patchy at best (depending on who was serving) while the food was below par for the cost. Ordering the chorizo scoth eggs i was expecting for something lovely and flavoursome. What we got was just bland. Maybe they&#039;d run out of chorizo?<br /><br />The fish and chips were just about ok but having ordered 3 flavours of ice cream I was given just 2, one flavour of which I wasn&#039;t offered and didn&#039;t order. No explanation given though when i mentioned it was offered a replacement. Espresso was also disappointing, very weak.

the food was ok but the service was terrible. Staff were friendly but unattentive so i had to ask for menus, signal to order and to get the bill. i arrived at 12.45 and had a main and cheese and didn&#039;t manage to leave until 3.30pm. the waitresses were simply not looking at the tables and the restaurant was pretty empty.

Business meal during reasonably busy Friday lunchtime. Menu is nicely varied and the food was generally good, but the service, although friendly was very hit and miss. Towards the end of the meal the staff were more concerned about having their own lunch in the main bar/restuarant than getting us some coffee/more drinks/ the bill. Our guests left under refreshed!

We visited this pub for some after work drinks and a bite to eat. It&#039;s tucked away in an alley so doesn&#039;t get too busy. We had table service and one of their platters to share, which was very good.

had a quick business meeting followed by drinks there. It was cosy and the standard of the food was pretty good.

I know the C & B on Mason's Avenue well and am a regular but it does frustrate me that such a great spot can be so average. The service is exactly that, it takes forever to get a drink (especially at the bar – there you can wait up to 10 minutes even when there doesn't seem to be a queue). The food was also rather average for what is a good menu. It won't stop me going there but I wish the service, particularly at the bar, was improved.

We went to C&amp;B Masons Avenue as a group of 10 for a work lunch on a Friday. We sat downstairs in the private area which was nice. The service was quite good &amp; friendly, the quality of the mains were very good, with a decent variety of mains. The only complain I&#039;d have was the dessert menu was one of the poorest I&#039;ve seen at a pub for a while - there were only 2 options plus a cheese platter. And the three people in the group who did order desserts didn&#039;t finish them as they weren&#039;t very good! But if you don&#039;t have a sweet tooth, definitely recommend it.

With business colleagues food was excellent service ok it was evident that as no one in the party was not drinking the service to replenish the drinks was slower than usual.

Terrible service not the sever&#039;s fault but 1 person to the whole packed out restaurant. Had to rush food when it finally arrived to get back to the office on time. Wish had gone for a sandwich somewhere else.

Friday lunch for 2 colleagues was made a bit of a treat by the half price main course. We started with Welsh rarebit and pheasant terrine, then mushroom tagliatelle and a beautifully moist chicken breast with mushroom and sweet baby onions in a rich sauce. The sourdough bread was excellent. Corney &amp; Barrow at Mason&#039;s Avenue may be part of a chain but the staff make you feel as welcome as an independent.

I booked this restaurant as Toptable said that it was doing a Christmas menu - i.e. turkey etc. We had my 80yr old mother in law with us who has a very limited diet &amp; she wanted a Christmas dinner - there were no qualifying conditions on this on toptable- but just to make doubly sure I put it in the notes section. I arrived early and was presented with a normal menu - when I said I wanted the Christmas menu I was advised that this would have had to have been ordered in advance &amp; a deposit paid - I explained that I had booked through toptable &amp; this want requested - this was to no avail. When my mother in law arrived she had to pick something else - which she didnt really eat. The staff were nice but it was overall a disappointing experience

My friend and I came for lunch off the back of an offer I was emailed for a free glass of bubbly with your main. When we presented the waitress with the voucher, after checking with her manager, were told it was only valid at Paternoster Square branch. Fair enough - we made a mistake, however we politely asked if they could honour this offer seeing as it&#039;s the same chain. The manager, via our waitress refused to honour this request. Already disappointed and we hadn&#039;t even ordered our food, we then had to ask twice for our jug of water, struggled to get attention from the waitresses to get extra tomato ketchup and were told they didn&#039;t have tartare sauce to go with the fish and chips. Disappointing experience - not in a hurry to go back.

This was the wrong choice of venue for my lunch appointment - it was too noisy. We were sat near a speaker - and asked to be moved - but weren&#039;t, The manager turned down the music - but then kept turning it up again! This was very frustrating because the person I was meeting had a quiet voice and I really only got 70% of what he said!<br /><br />The food was good - and as a venue it would probably suit many people, but it wasn&#039;t right for me.

We have used C&amp;B in Masons Avenue on a number of occasions including booking the private dining room and have always found the staff to be extremely helpful. Nothing is ever too much for them. We would definitely recommend this restaurant as a great venue for group booking.

As good as always, Mo and the team were their usual excellent selves, with great food, top-notch service and a wonderful atmosphere. Masons Avenue has been consistently excellent in terms of warmth &amp; hospitality. Very rarely want to eat or drink anywhere else. As good as other Corneys regularly visited (Cabin &amp; Canary Wharf.) All absolutely first-rate bars expertly managed &amp; efficiently run. Thanks again.

Been a few times for a drink and the service is great, and they remember you which is nice. We had a free bottle of prosecco because of signing up to their deal card, which was great! Haven&#039;t really eaten here but the choice looks good.

Just been refurbed and is now a great place.

Lunch for 2 booked at the refurbished Corney &amp; Barrow in Masons Avenue was a disappointment. Very average food that isn&#039;t really reflected in the prices. Despite booking via Toptable and advising the waitress that it was a booking we were told to take any table that was unreserved so my booking wasn&#039;t recorded with TT. Smoked haddock fishcakes contained 99% potato and barely a flake of fish! My colleagues mussels, although a large portion, were bland. This bar is looking good after the refit and is nice for a drink after work (2 for 1 cocktails on a Wednesday night), but I wouldn&#039;t return for the food again.

Had lunch with the girls here mid-week. Fantastic surroundings now it&#039;s been revamped, a great new basement area and the open kitchen is great. Not crazy-busy, the food was spot-on (the perfect burger, not a hint of horse!!) and the service could not be faulted, attentive without being in your face and even giving us the 2for1 main course offer despite not having the voucher. Being a 2min walk from our office, this was already a favourite but the new format just makes it even better.

but food was ok. worth booking though cos gets very busy at lunchtime

Very good, they also had a promotion on for half price meals, which made it good value.

We booked this restaurant for a special occasion on the last Friday lunchtime before Christmas so it was really busy, Our table actually looked like it was part of the bar, and we were disappointed as one side of the &quot;table&quot; was too far away for us to talk - but just before we were about to order, the waitress said some people downstairs were keen to swap as they wanted more atmosphere and we wanted a bit less! After that, everything was fine, the food was scrumptious (fish and chips and the pork belly particularly so). They had run out of the two of the three deserts which was a shame but maybe a blessing, Not a part of time we eat in normally, but the location is great - down a small court near Guildhall

We were attended to very quickly at the door and the service times were about right, there wasn&#039;t lots of waiting but we weren&#039;t being rushed. The food and wine was very nice. It was very busy, but there was a good buzz and not to loud. Because it was busy, our table was quite close to &#039;our neighbours&#039;.

Food was OK, pretty tasty, not mind-blowing. They&#039;d run out of bread. Seated on strange table in centre of room which was too high up, even for the taller group members. I couldn&#039;t reach the foot rest on the bar stool so pretty uncomfortable. Food order was delayed but they did give us a free bottle of wine w/o us needing to complain. Service good. Much more comfy once we moved to a different table after the lunchtime crowd thinned out.

I arranged a breakfast meeting with a client for the 5h December 2012. Upon arrival we were seated and asked for our drinks order. We were awaiting one more diner who was running 30 mins late. When he arrived they took his drinks order and then our food order. 30 secs later the waitress came back and said they had no gas and the only food they could offer was a bacon sandwich. Due to the time we had we were unable to go anywhere else. It was most infuriating that we had sat there for over 40 mins before they told us the gas was not working. There was not a single appology for this and they also automatically put their service charge on.<br />I hope this was a one off but I&#039;d suggest asking straight away if they have any kitchen issues that day.

I was a bit hesitant to visit C&amp;B after the recent makeover as many refurbishments of City classics recently have gone horribly wrong (Balls Brothers, etc). I decided it was best to go for lunch with an open mind and pretend this was a brand new venue without Corney and Barrow&#039;s venerable history. I was very pleased with all aspects of lunch from greeting at the bar to the presentation of the bill right on cue. I will return and again pretend I have never been there before.

I took 3 clients to have lunch in your Mason&#039;s Avenue venue on Friday 28th Sept. What a very pleasant, relaxed and service orientated staff you have. A very pleasant meal which was timely and tasty, delivered by smiling, not overly attentive staff added to a very pleasant experience

A very busy bar/restaurant, tucked away in Mason&#039;s Avenue. Corney and Barrow offered an extensive menu. The mussels were excellent, plump and full of flavour. The service was discreet and as this was a business lunch, this was welcomed. I would highly recommend a visit, and I would also suggest that if you want a table you make a reservation.

Much better now after the make-over...<br />Nothing special though and not to recommend for a smart business lunch but perfectly decent for a lunch or drinks with colleagues. Food was fine, just what you&#039;d expect from a chain like C&amp;B.

Very cosy, tables close together and too close to the Bar. Not C&amp;B at it&#039;s best !

Tucked away in Mason&#039;s Avenue - this Corney and Barrow has a lovely neighbourhood feel. There are clearly plenty of regulars who meet up for a glass or two and watch the sport on the screens.<br /><br />The food is good and the service is excellent.

Food was good, well cooked and reasonably priced. The staff were excellent, they noticed when my friend joined me and came over quickly to take the drinks order. I would definately recommend this wine bar.

As enjoyable as ever. Tremendous service and wonderful staff. We are big fans and they have never let us down. Tremendous establishment and very well run and staffed.

Service a little chaotic, but with such pretty girls serving, can forgive a lot !1

Always a pleasant experience coming to this wine bar. The food is of high quality - perfect for city lunch - and the service is friendly and speedy.

The food here is great, on this occasion it was slow to the table but I have been here many times and this is my only bad experience from a timing perspective and Rebecca did compensate us for the delay. Lovely Ambience, friendly service though can be too keen to top up your wine glass. Wine list is very good though. A little Gem that&#039;s tucked away.

One of the group ordered a steak sandwich, when it arrived the meat was clearly off - the smell alone gave it away. However the service was good.
