The Masons Arms in Wychavon

Four of us had a Christmas Meal together. Main courses and desserts with drinks. Every time we come here the food is excellent and freshly prepared. Staff are attentive and polite. A warm welcome on a winter night.

Proper country pub. We picked the wrong night really as it was quiz night last Thursday of the month and all the tables were booked. So stopped for a quick pint 🍺 and be back another time

What a lovely pub. The host were so welcoming as were the locals. Great laugh and very hospitable. A true English pub. Would move to the village for this place!!

We recently visited the Masons Arms while we were staying in the area for a few days. It is such a lovely country pub and well worth a visit. We were treated with kindness from the moment we stepped inside, nothing was too much trouble. We had a fabulous Sunday lunch and also had traditional pub grub from the menu ( pies are especially good). Thank you to Simon and his family for making us feel so welcome.

We stayed here as park of the Britstop membership. Simon, Lydia and staff could not have been more welcoming, accommodating and fun. We chatted with them and the locals on a busy Friday after Cheltenham races came to an end. The food was fantastic. Proper pub grub. We had lamb and mint pie and a first for me, cauliflower cheese pie! Couldn’t fit in dessert but were offered a sample which was delicious. They definitely have the right mix of decent food and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I were staying in a cottage walking distance from this Pub and decided to eat there one night… so glad we did as it was excellent. I had a fantastic homemade chicken curry (with rice and naan) and my husband had an absolutely gorgeous homemade chicken & chorizo pie ( the pastry I think was that crispy hot water crust type) lovely friendly service and nice local feel to the place. Well done to the owners as they are doing a great job running a local pub with superb food.

Super small pub to visit with very friendly staff (daughter of owner). We turned up quite late for lunch, but she very sweetly allowed us to place an order. Delicious cheese panini, friend had cob, both well presented and freshly made. Serve Butty Bach and HPA beer which may attract those who like real ale. Will visit again and are hoping to attend quiz night which is held on the last Thursday of each month.

Great little pub, great food & great service. We went as a group of 4 and had a main & dessert each. All food was excellent, wholesome homemade food served with a smile. The onion rings & cheesecake are particularly divine!! We will be back!

With a choice of three roast meats and ten vegetables, this was an amazing Sunday lunch. This not a carvery, the meal is brought to your table. The service was efficient and very friendly. This relatively small pub is situated in a very pretty village with plenty of parking. Well worth a visit to this relaxed and informal pub, we will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Seven of us ladies went for our Christmas get together. We had booked. The place was cold (we had to keep our coats on) and uninviting. No atmosphere at all and very little in the way of Christmas decorations. We were given a menu - no Turkey or Christmas fare at all. Most of the group ordered a chicken dish as that was about the only item available. The waiter told us that the meat order had not arrived and that we couldn't have the steak most of us would have liked. When the food came it was sparse to say the least. I don't consider 3 sprouts and a swirl of parsnip puree to be sufficient in the way of vegetables. All in all a disaster - never again!

I have visited The Masons numerous times since moving to the area several months ago. Often, I go with my husband and sometimes, with friends. The barman/manager has made us very welcome and goes to a lot of effort to make guests welcome. He has a great rapport with all of his guests from what I have witnessed. On New Years Eve we had a blast as he and his colleagues went the extra mile to give a very happy crowd a fabulous evening. I’ve eaten here too with family and friends- some who are quite fussy but we’ve all come to the same conclusion ... food here is consistently delicious and good value. Good beer, Guinness (according to hubby) and I can vouch for the merlot and spirits! The Masons has made our move to the area a particularly pleasant one.

My wife and i popped to the pub for a couple of drinks which we sometimes do. Over the past few years there has been a few different faces behind the bar some good bad etc . Friday night there was a young man serving who was foreign . As a bar man you should listen and interact with the customers this young man was loud and foul mouthed. The group of men at the bar were trying to explain about legislation in this country .Clearly he has an issue with English people as he became very aggressive with his responses . It is normally very enjoyable in The Masons and everybody can interact and have a good discussion the locals who sit at the bar always include you in conversation and say hello and goodbye. My wife was very uncomfortable with the way the evening was going and decided to leave . At this point of leaving the bar man then starts saying that he is going to get his gloves and beat everyone up. Walking home were quite upset by the comments and we doubt we will return again .

Recommended by a friend, so we decided to book a family meal to celebrate a birthday. Had an amazing Sunday roast with choice of 3 meats lots of different veg all freshly cooked, enjoyed by everybody. Very friendly service very helpful very accommodating with seating for twin grand daughters, we will be visiting again.

Went to The Masons Arms yesterday and throughly enjoyed it, the beer is always tasty and lovely atmosphere. We both opted for Fish Friday, only £8 each! The fish was the size of a small whale, it came with chips & mushy peas. I asked for salad which was very colourful. The fish was crisp and batter light! All the staff were attentive, and friendly. We had two beers each & two fish and chips and the bill was £32.50. We came home stuffed! Glad we popped in, and I’m sure it won’t be the last time!

Just had the best Sunday roast ever . Tasty meat huge portions . We will be back never had a meal cooked to such perfection !!!!!!

I met a group of friends here tonight for a meal. We ordered in advance as there were a few of us and it didn’t disappoint. My 3 courses were amazing. Couldn’t fault it at all. Reasonably priced too.

Like a carvery but served to your table. 4 meats offered and you could choose more than one. Given a choice of around 7 different vegetables and asked if any we didn't want then another four also brought to the table! Huge portions of everything, a shame that so much would be wasted, and no room for pudding. A special mention for the roast potatoes which were the best I've ever had out, as good as my husband's home made! Being picky, everything was a bit chunky in size, like the cabbage and carrots. Excellent value at £12 for a main. Excellent staff

We’ve used The Masons Arms several times since their re opening last year. Excellent service, delicious, freshly prepared and cooked food, and very reasonably priced. Just lovely!

Pub restaurant with friendly staff, good service and excellent food. We had a meal mid-week early in evening and it wasn’t busy but I would imagine prior booking advisable for later in evening or at weekends. The whole experience was excellent. Big plates of food, well-cooked and hot. Nice friendly staff. One of best pub restaurants in Worcestershire and well-placed to eat after a trip to Croome Park.

Visited ar lunch time mid week. Not very busy but a warm greeting and nicely decorated. Lunch time menu is not huge but more than acceptable. Went for Scampi , with chips and peas. Under £10.00 so good value. It's a bit out of the way but well worth the visit. Heard that they hope to put a conservatory this year which will be a huge bonus .

We were keen to go back, having had a great meal last time not long after they reopened. We were greeted by a very friendly young man who served us throughout. We both had the steak ale and mushroom pie, with chips, peas and carrots. It was all very hot and the pie was exceptional, with lots of large pieces of tender meat and mushrooms with tasty gravy. It was very filling. A flatter moist pastry on top would have been better than a very crispy tall one. £3.80 for a pint of Coke is excessive but the menu prices are very reasonable.

First time visit since reopening. Very impressed. Good refurb. Food fresh beautifully cooked bass and cod. Staff friendly and attentive. Beer great hpa. Spread the word local folk. They've made effort to reopen. Use it so we don't lose it again and help keep the beer fresh! Personally I think it needs a small snug area for pint or 3. Thank you.

My fiancé took me last night for my birthday. Warm & friendly welcome from the moment we arrived. We both choose off the specials board & didn’t have to wait long for our food to arrive. It was delicious we couldn’t fault it at all. I will just say one thing if you have a small appetite your in for a surprise. We are definitely going to be going back for more..

My wife and I started going to the Masons Arms for Sunday lunch before Christmas and last Sunday was our 4th. trip in a couple of months.

They were only serving Roast for New Year's Day,which was fine.

We called in for lunch with friends on the basis that the pub had good reviews since reopening. We were not disappointed! Very cosy and nicely done out, we had a main and a pudding. The cod and chips were superb, as was my wife’s veggie wellington. The home made desserts were also excellent. Great value and proper, home cooked, fresh food. Lovely. We will be back

My wife says that the Scampi is the best ever AND that was the BEST Rib-Eye Steak I've had in a long time! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Wow - really nice food .. about 30 seats and waiter / waitress served at your table , no lining up carvery .. prefer this anyway . Even the chef comes out sometimes to serve your plate . Bar staff could be a bit friendlier and chatty .. And welcoming and smiley ..

Recently reopened under new management by the team that use to run The Plough and Harrow at Drakes Broughton. Saturday lunchtime and busy - always a good sign. Refurbished inside and tidied up outside. Very good menu with a specials board. Made to feel very welcomed . Food very good, had their chicken and mushroom pie with chips and peas. To full to have a dessert. They deserve to do well, will return.

Have been here over the years when taken over by numerous owners, seemed to have lost its way lately but booked in for this evening to “ try it again “ with new owners,we were very happy with staff and food was superb, all freshly cooked and steaks were excellent and cooked to perfection. Can’t fault the quality and taste but just have to say we thought the house wine was very much overpriced for a standard white.

So pleased that this place has opened after massive refurbishment, even better that it is run by the people who used to be at The Plough and Harrow that they were forced to leave recently. Wonderful job of the decor and comfortable seating. The menu is much the same as their previous menu and we had a lovely well cooked and presented two course lunch for £9 per person which we wanted to try but we will probably work our way through the menu on our following visits. Plenty of parking and staff as good and helpful as ever. Well worth a visit.

We are very pleased that Matt has moved from the Plough and Harrow which has closed, to The Masons Arms which opened this week.

Again one of our regular Saturday Evening visits for meal. As good food as you'll get for this type of venue. Comprehensive and good menu, bit of wait for food but expected as all cooked fresh, we've never been disappointed. Would recommend.

Excelente menú de almuerzo. Personal amable y buena comida de pub. Ofrece excelentes en la semana a llevar por £10.00. Tuve la gambas y mi marido el chili y ambas eran excelentes. Vale la pena ir aislada para cenar. Excelentes instalaciones para familias jóvenes con bebés en pañales colchoneta y las señoras loo. Pensé que este era un bonito toque. Volveremos.

Había sido un largo tiempo desde la última vez que tuvimos este pub ya que utilizamos para vivir, así que cuando leí las críticas buenas decidimos pagar una visita. Y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho. Fuimos a un almuerzo muy tranquila el sábado (que era el cumpleaños de la reina de la calle y comenzar los partidos del torneo de la Copa Europea). Había algunos clientes habituales en el bar y aunque éramos las únicas personas en el acogedor comedor que no sentimos como la camarera solitaria, era muy amable y el chef apareció para una charla que fue muy agradable. Tuvimos una estupenda comida, recién cocinados regados con cerveza bien mantenido por un precio muy razonable, así que reservamos allí y luego volver la próxima semana para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposo. Bien, no puedo decir que la carne que tenía era probablemente el mejor que he comido en un pub!

Cálida bienvenida del propietario y la casera. Realmente acogedor en este pequeño pub y la comida es excelente. No es un vegetariano, pero fuimos el champiñón y queso de cabra pastel con un excepcional désuet!!! Buenos vinos, postres - el paquete. Sin duda recomiendo y espero volver

This fine traditional country pub is a rarity today. Great food, great beers real value for money, fantastic ambiance and really helpful friendly staff, a must if you in the area and highly recommended.

Traditional country pub with good beer, excellent well cooked fresh food. Relaxed and well looked after. All at very fair prices!

Nice to see Tony & Denice again. Excellent Fish & Chips are highly recommended as is the Fish Pie. Good wine list at very reasonable prices.

Estoy perdiendo el conteo de visitas que he realizado a los brazos masones y jamas me defraudó. Un pub tradicional de campo, buenas cervezas y vinos y un gran ambiente familiar.

Decidimos reservar después de leer los comentarios. El restaurante en sí es el piso de cantera bastante básica y fregado tops mesa, así que tiende a ser ruidoso, pero es agradable y acogedor y mesas no están uno encima del otro. Todo el personal es muy amable y servicial. La comida en sí es muy bueno tuvimos cóctel de gambas, seguido por un cordero y un cerdo. El cordero era muy sabrosa y tierna y ambas fueron servidos con una gran variedad de verduras. patatas asadas y Patacas Chirivías así como puré de patatas, salsa de cebolla para el cordero y salsa de manzana para el cerdo y una buena jarra de salsa para ambos. Dos campos por 15 libras tanto nos pareció una buena relación calidad-precio, los dos estábamos demasiado lleno para budines. Yo podría añadir el pub tiene una zona de bar muy agradable.

Decidimos llevar nuestro coche clásico el primer Domingo soleado para ir a almorzar en un pub de campo. Los Masones de armas está a 15 minutos en coche desde donde vivo, y me aconsejaron reservar. Llegamos antes de tiempo, y nos sentamos fuera designado en el sol tomando una copa. Nos dijeron que podíamos ir cuando estuvimos listos, cosa que hicimos. Como era domingo, nos ofrecieron el menú de almuerzo del domingo, que era lo que había decidido comer de todos modos. La elección era una comida de 1, 2 o 3 platos a partir de £12 por cabeza. Las opciones para empezar eran gambas, paté ardennes cóctel o sopa. Las principales opciones de comida era solomillo de ternera, pierna de cordero, lomo de cerdo y pechuga de pavo. Yo opté por no tener un arranque, pero eligió la carne asada para mi principal. Mi compañero eligió el cordero. Cuando llegamos las placas, me quedé encantado con los budines Yorkshire (casa 2), hecho junto con verduras asadas, patatas asadas y guisantes. Entonces las verduras, patatas crema salió de patatas, zanahorias en manteca, col, brócoli y coliflor - todo perfectamente preparado. (mi compañero es un poco exigente con sus verduras, pero estos pasaron sin duda Muster). El personal era amable y atento, y nos preguntó si nos requiere más salsa (desconocidas). Mi pareja disfrutamos del grosellero indio y rosemary salsa, pero estaba más que satisfecho con lo que había sido entregado. Un bonito detalle fue la salsa de cebolla. Por desgracia, debido al tamaño de las raciones, que fue incapaz de gestionar un flan, pero atractiva. Cuando nos dijeron que la camarera donde nos habíamos ido, ella nos dijo que podíamos volver de otra forma, y ver las bluebell woods - lo cual hicimos. Los Masones es un pub rural con encanto, con excelente comida y anfitriones son geniales. Volveremos otra vez.

This is a great local pub with home cooked food and with good value for money. There are not many covers so you may need to book.

I booked here, due to TripAdvisor reviews. Tony & Denise were brilliant at sorting a table for 4 of us, two with partial disabilities. Very friendly welcome, great table in corner, lovely waiting staff. We had 2 roast beef dinners, 1 lamb and 1 turkey. Extremely fresh with onion sauce for the lamb...unheard of elsewhere, minted gravy (superb), gorgeous Yorkshires, fabulous meat stuffings. Freshest of fresh veg cooked to perfection and the best Roasties outside of my house !!!!Lovely 'house' dog wandering around and well behaved dogs welcome, of which there were a few. Friendly locals and obviously many returning customers. One of, or possibly the best decent, happy, welcoming pub/restaurants in the area. Please try it and you will be thrilled at the value for money, amazing welcome and leave feeling well happy.

Visiting for the weekend I was taken here and was not disappointed with the food. Knowing the owners I just knew I was going to get good food as Denise is such a good chef. All the food served was, hot, fresh and so tasty.Although this establishment is a little off the beaten track it is worth making the effort to find it.

Spot on. Lovely starter. Just the right time between courses and exceptional quality meat. And walkable!!

Having moved into the area about the same time as the publican and his wife we have tended to treat this great eatery as our local, though it is a three mile stroll and back to go there most days.The food is cooked on the day and often is cooked to order. Any delay is due to this fact. Hence anyone ordering a pie is advised that they will sometimes have to wait a while before it arrives, so please please to have one of their excellent starters. My fave is the pear and walnut salad. The time between courses here allows the pie's wonderful suet pastry to bake to perfection. In due course it is presented with a wide range of well prepared vegetables to everyone's taste.The fish is fresh and the fish and chips comes in two sizes, so be sure to take a hearty appetite if you opt for the large size! All fish and meat comes from a highly regarded supplier just up the road and it is worth trying.Just a small note, although the pub is not the largest in the area it is tardis like once you step inside. Restaurant and bar areas are separate entities and can accommodate a surprising number of guests. The kitchen is in proportion with the pub as viewed from the outside with the kitchen running to maximum capacity from the moment they open to pretty much the time they close. It is well advised that you call ahead as they do get booked up and despite your best efforts they can only accommodate the number they can. This was initially annoying when we had walked there, but once you understand the logistics there all becomes clear. The meals cover a wide range of home produced meals using well sourced produce. All washed down with drinks makes for an excellent afternoon or evening. The atmosphere there is great, not so noisy you cannot hear yourself think.I ddi think that by putting on a review l might be a contributor to the increased popularity of this pub, with the potential result they would rebooked solid, but their efforts do deserve some recognition they do try.We have even known guest chef's on odd occasions offering such dishes as lobster thermidor, but that's another review.The staff are all great too, a friendly bunch.We go there either as a couple or with the elderly parents and are never disappointed.Just reminded further down the page but the prices stand great comparison with anywhere nearby, and better than many.Keep up the good work team.

Returned to the Masons Arms intending to have their wonderful fish and chips from the £8 menu.Surprised to see Roast Pork with all the trimmings so we both decided on that. It was delicious and such crunchy crackling. What a superb meal and only £5 each on their 2 for £10 deal. Will be back with friends again. It really is the place to go for a mid week meal out. The menu for the evenings is extensive.

We eat here 6-8 times a year and have never had a bad experience last visit was with 4 of our friends and we had a fabulous evening and great food. Not a pub to go to if you want a quick turnaround it is a pub for a lazy evening with good food and friendly staff with home cooked food by a chef that cares.

This pub serves very good food at reasonable prices. Pleasant staff out door seating available and good beer. A good selection of spirits also.

Very nice food and atmosphere,well worth a visit. Have been quite often and always very happy with our visits.7

A quiet Saturday night due to the X Factor semis!! Good beer, lovely prosecco and excellent food. Looked after faultlessly! 5 star experience at 3 star prices!! Many thanks.

The sign of a Masterchef is someone who can produce fantastic homemade soup every day. Denise always has a vegetarian and gluten free soup on offer. Her cooking and presentation standards are always consistently high, hence why we continue to recommend her meals. It's advisable to book.

Super night,cod goujons and pheasant casserole brilliant. Like the new country house decor feels very traditional

Super home cooked lunches and dinners by Denise from Wednesday to Sunday. The standard of food, waiter service and value for money can not be rivalled in the Worcestershire area. The Sunday Lunch is exceptional and booking is essential. Dogs are also welcome in the bar area.

Lovely meal at the Masons Arms. Had been recommended by several people so thought we too should give it a go. We were not disappointed. Tasty, large starters. We all had the fish and chips for the main course and they were superb. Very fresh fish, light and lovely batter and scrumy chips. We would have loved puddings but we were all stuffed. The only, very minor comment I would make is the TV by the bar. The flickering of it is reflected in to the bottom restaurant by a mirror in the top pub area. This was very distracting. The staff were just lovely, helpful, personable and attentive. The decor is nicely done and the place is impeccably clean. We will definitely be returning.

We attended a private party here so all I can really comment on is the food. It was excellent, with a choice of three curries. Others there told me it is regularly good and you need to book a table if you plan to eat there.What I really liked is that after the meal all the spare food was available to take away, in small containers. This is such a nice touch and better than wasting it.

Off the beaten track with a lovely laid back country feel, this is my idea of the perfect location. I think there's been a change of ownership which has shown in the excellent quality of the food. I've eaten here a number of times and without a doubt the Sunday roast is the best I've ever eaten. The owners are very welcoming and take time to stop and chat. The chef, comes out to speak to you at the table, at the quieter times, which makes you feel that they have nothing to hide. A genuine place to stay and relax with very good value food and a good selection of beers.

we arrived here ~10 mintes past lunch serving time and were very pleased to be offered a reduced menu of either scampi & chips or fish & chips. Both of us ordered fish & chips one large and one small - I wonder why more places don't give these options as both meals were perfect sized for our apetites - both very tasty indeed. I wish more places were so well customer focussed to give a few mintes grace to their serving time.

Called in on the off chance, should have booked. They went out of their way to encourage us to bide awhile until a table came available. Well worth the wait. The food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient (the beer was good too). Typical country pub, with adequate parking.

We live a fair distance away but we visit whenever we can because we really like the owners, the food, the atmosphere and of course the drink. Home cooked food at its best. Wife is a vegetarian and they always cater for he needs, including roast potatoes on a Sunday roasted in vegetable oil. Cannot recommend this pub highly enough, every visit is a highlight for us. Clean and tidy, and the food is tasty. What's not to like? Well worth a visit.

Excellent Lunch in a spotlessly clean pub with a friendly welcome. What more could you ask for? I would like to comment on the cost, but fortunately someone else "footed the bill" as it was a birthday treat. As there was no sharp intake of breath when paying, I assume that it must have been reasonable.The only "downside" to this visit, was having booked a table, we found that on this particular lunchtime; we were the only diners. I would definately reccomend the Masons Arms and will try again in the evening.

I was very impressed with this place overall. The food was cooked well, the atmosphere was homely and the service was excellent.We all had garlic prawns to start, the menu says 'with loads of garlic' and that was definitely the case! Luckily for me, I like garlic. Prawns were massive and very succulent, only small criticism was how they were served - in a small bowl - I would have preferred a plate.My wife and I had the rib eye steak for our main meal, both were cooked to perfection. The price was very reasonable too.The service was also excellent, with everyone who worked there being so friendly and attentive.We will definitely go back next time we're in Worcester.

We regularly visit for lunch and find the 8 10 12 menu brilliant value for money, so we thought we'd been undercharged when the 2 mains for £10 was introduced!The food is always of a very high standard, Denise's pie and lasagne are the best I've had anywhere & the Sunday lunches are beautifully cooked with an enormous selection of fresh veg.The food is all homemade so the service is not super speedy but not at all unreasonable and certainly worth waiting a little time for.I couldn't recommend The Masons highly enough.

Pleasant atmosphere, welcoming. The food was excellent. I ate the best lasagne I had had in years. My husband had the fish, chips and peas. Huge portion, cod lightly battered and crisp. Good job we did not have starters or would not have managed a pudding! Creme Brulee and chocolate truffle torte for dessert; both lovely followed by excellent espressos. Service was excellent. My one and only quibble, and this applies to many restaurants we go to nowadays...no French red on the wine list.

went for a birthday meal, enjoyed the food, nothing special but it was quite good value for money. We went as a table of 4. We all had different dishes and it took quite a long time to be served so we decided not to have desserts. My friend had been before and said it was similar when she visited.

This is not a bad place to go for ´tea´. Its an average village pub that makes you feel at home and serves food like you can cook at home. I would go again if I wanted a quick bite to eat and was passing through the area. It has been closed a lot over recent years and so good to see it open again with a few people in it.

This is an unpretentious proper pub serving great beers and fantastic Pub Food at an affordable price.My Wife and I are frequent users of the Pub and whether we have Fish and Chips, Denise's special curry or Rib eye steak one thing is for sure we will not be disappointed with the quality of the food or the service. It is also our Granddaughters favorite eatery.

This is incredible value for money as food is excellent quality and mostly homemade. Choices are from £8, £10, £12 menu so a big saving can be made. This is not a low grade frozen pensioner's lunch, but an excellent offer that everyone can enjoy in a traditional English pub setting. There is a restaurant and bar seating for dog lovers. The pub dog Kissy is a remarkable dog who welcomes 2 & 4 legged friends, and is a favourite of us regulars. Denise the chef makes fresh soup every day, and the Sunday Lunch is to die for and cannot be bettered anywhere else in Worcestershire. Its advisable to book, we cannot recommend more highly.

Having visited this pub many times, over the past 20 years or so, and finding the standard decline, in that time, under three managements, my wife and I decided to give it another try, following a further management change, having read a number of, recent, glowing reports. We decided to go for the 8, 10, 12 menu, as it was lunch time, and found the choice good, for the price. The food was average pub standard, although the fish was excellent quality. The service was excellent, the young man who looked after us being pleasant and helpful, but the landlord was sullen and unfriendly. However, our main complaint is that the pub was, on the day, very cold. Considering that it was March, and the ambient temperatures have been fairly low, recently, it might have been expected that the central heating would be on. Both of the, adjacent, radiators were cold. In fact, my wife put her coat back on, shortly after we arrived, and kept it on throughout her meal; something I have never known her do before.

Fantastic meal with my Husband Daughter &Son in law. Every perfect Food Hospitality and service a great little country pub and restaurant

OMG - The best fish and chips in my whole life!! Cant remember the last time I experienced such a huge fat fresh fish with ultra thin crispy wafer batter, complemented with correctly prepared British chips and not the inferior French fries (didn't mention Agincourt).Warm hello from Kissy the Spaniel and well behaved dogs very welcome - mmmm

Called here with friends for a light lunch as we were having a large dinner later. We all had soup and a sausage sandwich which were both very good. Good atmosphere. Well worth travelling off the beaten track as this pub is a little bit remote.

The new winter menu is great and at lunchtimes you can have the £8,£10,£12 menu for 1,2,or 3 courses or the option of other dishes from the main evening menu. This mean a much wider choice of meals. We frequent the pub several times a week, and the consistency is always excellent. Homemade soup is always vegetarian and seasonal, and is served with a choice of bread from a local bakery. The food quality is way above average because it is all freshly cooked, with many dishes homemade by Denise the chef. We always book to avoid disappointment.

We have eaten here a couple of times over the past few weeks. It's ok to call for 'tea' when in the area. They do a nice pint and quite quick pub food. I do question all of these first class reviews as they do not match what you get here - is someone making up reviews I wonder??They have a lovely dog which comes around for fuss, but no so pleasant when he rubs his rear end on the carpet in front of you!

We needed a pub that would allow dogs but I didn't expect to the food to be as lovely as it was. I had cod and it just flaked onto my plate and literally melted in my mouth. The chef came out to check we were happy and she was really friendly. Definitely recommend.

A few years had passed since my last visit to the pub and I found it to be of avoid standard . Sharps Doombar was an enjoyable ale to pair with my salmon, which was a good size and properly cooked.My wife had the smaller fish and chips and enjoyed the meal. The service was prompt and friendly.

The Masons Arms has changed hands many times since we first visited the pub in 2004. The pub had new owners in July of this year. We had an excellent lunch about two months ago and decided to take two of our friends to the pub for lunch. We all had the pumpkin soup. The soup was excellent - hot and tasty. For the main' I had chicken. The plate was cool and the chicken was dry. The other three quests has scampi. They all thought that the scampi was not particularly good. We had a bottle of red wine that was excellent and good value for money. However, we were disappointed.The pub is small and cosy. The atmosphere is great and the staff are polite and friendly. The pub is not expensive - £8 for one course, £10 for two and £12 for three courses. We did not complain about the main course and told the staff that the meal was ok. I think that most people would not say that the food was not particularly good but just decide not to go again. I think that the plates need to be hot and the food must be well cooked and tasty.Pup food is highly competitive. If the food is not good then patrons will cease to go. We will try the pub once again with friends that are visiting us at Christmas.

This was our first visit and we found the food good and ambience truly excellent. A real find and intend on it becoming a regular venue for us. The steak was cooked just right and the duck was sublime! The portions were plentiful and the vegetables well cooked. Only a slight criticism was the long wait for our main course but we accepted that the chef was the only one cooking and everything was cooked fresh. I'd rather wait a little and have great food so no problem. This is how a traditional pub should be!

We have moved into the area recently and enjoy road walking as the field paths are often impassable due to nettles and mud. We popped into the Mason's Arms a few weeks back and vowed to return. This we did today and had a good time. Great selection of beers included Abbot Ale and Black Sheep bitter, a long way from home this one.The restaurant is bright and cheery and some locals were already in there ahead of us. Our standard meal, by which we tend to compare venues, is battered fish and chips. This was ample in size and freshly prepared, a great dish. I waited for the cottage pie and was not disappointed. Food is piping hot and very very tasty. The waitress is very pleasant and helped out with our local knowledge gaps!The Mason's Arms is even on a bus route so no excuse for not going.We will be back with aged parents soon, and wish the team every success during these cold winter times.

Went here for a birthday lunch having been here some years ago and not being impressed. What a vast improvement. The food was first class and the young waitress was very attentive even though the restaurant was busy. If you live locally you gotta eat here.

Went here with a party of 19 for Sunday Lunch. Outstanding food, outstanding value and outstanding service! Amazing choice of vegetables. Warm friendly village pub and even enjoyed a sing song with some of the locals before we left

Great surprise. Professional team creating a tradional and warm atmosphere. Lovely food, fish and chips and lasagna. 5stars from us, thanks for a nice evening.

Popped in for a spot of dinner, lovely food, lovely beer, good company. It's good to see that Tony and his wife have made the move from Charlton with ease.

Visited the pub for Sunday lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find a real country pub with a friendly atmosphere.We were warmly welcomed by the Landlord and other staff members, including the Landlady who is also the chef.Once we had chosen our food over a drink at the bar, we were shown to our table in the separate restaurant area.We had a starter, traditional roast and dessert, all home made and served promptly.All the food was excellent and really good value for money.We will definitely be visiting again soon.

.Just got home lovely country pub with happy hour .Cod loin with lemon and wine sauce.Good balance between locals and eatery.Be prepared to wait as fresh cooked.

This place has a really nice pub atmosphere. There is a good selection of ales and wines.The food is well prepared, home cooked pub fayre. The service is great and beer even better.Very reasonably priced for the area too.Would definitely recommend it.

Was passing through the village and thought we would find a pub to have a Sunday roast and we weren't disappointed. Good chose on the Sunday lunch menu, it's best to make reservation too as it gets very busy. Service was fantastic, food was perfect, I had a lamb roast and my partner had a pork roast. Both were excellent, came with fresh veg on the side which were cooked to perfection. A little on the pricey side, but I can live with that as quality does come at a price. Most defiantly would go there again! Well done!!!

Have only visited the Masons a couple of times before and it was instantly forgettable. New management and it is now a different place - and all positive.We visited on a Saturday night with another couple, arrived to a friendly welcome and a nice atmosphere.Were served nice breads whilst browsing the menu (which had 3 separate sections, effectively an al-la-carte, 8-10-12 cheaper option and specials). This slows down decision making somewhat, but there is a good variety of choice overall - or at least there would be if they had not run out of several key dishes. Not a huge problem, and is more likely to happen where the food is good (and fresh) than somewhere that it is not.The waitress was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - much better than the average pub waitress, I understand that the new owners brought her with them from their previous venture and we could see why.We had quite a long wait for our starters, and another significant wait between starters and main course. We made no complaints but all the same were offered a free round of drinks because of the delay which shows both awareness and consideration which we really appreciated. A long wait followed by a below par meal would have ruined the evening, I am happy to report that when the food came it was very good indeed, well worth waiting for and much better than average pub food but no with pretence of being something they are not and charging stupid money as seen all too often at 'Gastro Pubs'. We all really enjoyed our meals, the atmosphere and friendly service.Both bar and restaurant areas have a pleasant feel about them and we will be back before too long. Give it a try, based on our experience you will not regret it and may make it a regular.

I wrote a review of this pub & restaurant over a year ago - and was not very complimentary. It has new owners now and the difference is amazing!We have eaten here three times recently and not been disappointed. The atmosphere is warm and friendly as soon as walk in and it has been redecorated and look smart. The bar serves some real ales, the services is good and the food is just excellent. Portions are a decent size, well cooked, well prepared and delicious. Cannot think of anything to be critical about. Even the house wine I had, a Merlot, was very nice.There is a decent children's menu and a separate choice for £8 one course, £10 two courses and £12 three courses! Brilliant. I recommend it.

I've eaten here often in the last 6 months.The new publicans have turned this pretty pub around and it's now busy and buzzing.Not far off the main Worcester to Pershore road it is well worth seeking out.You need to book for evening meals.

Really enjoyed my night out here. Had the fish and chips and my wife had risotto. Both meals were fantastic, well cooked and large portions. The service was also excellent. The kids menu looked great as well. I will certainly return with the family!

As locals we have watched the changing fortunes of the Mason's Arms over the years and have often eaten there. I have visited twice during the past fortnight and would say now that it is the best it has ever been. It is a very welcoming pub with a friendly atmosphere. Many improvements have been made to the décor and furnishings, yet the original features of this very old inn have been retained. The food is great! I had two courses for £10. Both were tasty and substantial and the main course was very hot. I've also tried the daily specials and again really enjoyed the food and thought it was excellent value for money. Service could not be faulted- friendly waitresses and waiter making sure you are happy with everything.We will certainly be visiting more regularly in future.

The Mason arms has changed ownership many times in the past 10 years. The pub reopened again about two months ago. My wife and I decided to try the pub again on a Tuesday evening. There were lots of people having a drink and also ordering food and reservations were already booked up for the next weekend. We ordered prawns and home made broccoli and stilton soup for starters and lasagne and fish and chips for the main course. The food was very tasty and served piping hot. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will not hesitate to return in the future.

A last minute decision to eat here was a good one. Friendly, attentive staff, a lovely meal, I had steak which was cooked to perfection (mid/rare), it makes a really nice change to have peas, tomatoes and mushrooms that actually taste like they are supposed to (maybe grown locally?). Too full to try the desserts!Will be back!

We have been extremely fortunate to taste the incredible food that Denise, the chef, seems to magic up from heaven, when they ran the pub in our village. Her food is legendary, and we had to drive out to her new place for Sunday lunch. The beef was beautiful and pink, huge portions, two yorkshires (!) and as usual, a huge bowl of fresh garden vegetables. The atmosphere is cosy and warm, with a cute bar and truck loads of atmosphere. I defy you not to start looking up properties for sale in this village, because it literally has it all !

Called in rather late for a light lunch and made very welcome by the very attentive staff and owners who put themselves put for us. An excellent pint and a simple scampi and chips but cooked to perfection and served promptly in the delightful, light, airy dining room. Remarkably low priced for a quality meal. It is excellent to see the pub in good hands and we wish the owners every success, it is deserved!

We arrived a bit too early when the place was still closed so disappeared to fill the car with petrol. We considered eating near Worcester but I can honestly say we are glad we went back to The Masons Arms. It's in a backwater between Pershore and Worcester that you wouldn't normally drive past.When we arrived the barman (I think the owner) was jovial and cheerful. The Guinness was cold and well poured. The pub is very small and cosy inside and the dining area is clean and made me want to eat. I had the battered cod. It arrived in two separate pieces (cut before battering and cooking) because it was too big to fit in the fryer! The chips were good and the mushy peas tasty. My friend had the roast cod with a tasty crumb topping and fresh vegetables. He said it was very good but I could see he'd have preferred my whale. For the first time in living memory I couldn't eat everything on the plate. That's a record. We still managed to have a pudding called chocolate indulgence with vanilla ice cream which, if I'm honest, was too much for me - but I managed to shovel it down. Another pint of Guinness and we'd had more than enough.Food excellent and HUGE portion. A lovely pub. The waitress was sweet and attentive. The cook/chef came out to check all was well with the customers. A lovely pub. Great food and well worth the trip. We will certainly return. Thanks to the staff.

After our neighbours recommendation we went for a meal at the Masons tonight - we were not disappointed. Both the food and the friendly service were excellent - we will be back.

We had a warm welcome and they have a great range of drinks. Carling, Grolsch and the Cask Doom Bar was excellent. My wife had Sirloin which was one of the most tenderest, well cooked she has ever had. The lamb was out of this world, tender, tasty and generous portion. Great service, very welcoming. We are locals and will most definitely be going back.
