The Masons Arms in Newport

Attended as part of a family gathering of 9 on what felt like a quite busy Saturday. After some initial confusion over how we would be placing order, (after asking server directed us to order at bar) we had food out and hot in great time. Very tasty and in good portions. Some minor grumbles over sauces not being quite what expected but was greatly enjoyed. Definitely a contender to revisit next time we are visiting down cardiff.

Lovely little pub, staff are friendly but the best part is the Sunday roast 😍 !! By far the best Sunday roast, compliments to the chef, the gravy is beautiful, none of this nasty water bisto gravy that you get everywhere else, proper home made gravy. Won’t be going any where else for a Sunday roast again, lovely and clean, very friendly pub 5 🌟

Cosy pub with limited parking. Popular for its food offerings.

Staff were friendly and the food was excellent

Lovely meal with my family and baby granddaughter for my husbands birthday. Great selection of food and very prompt service even though there was a very large party there at the same time. Would recommend.

Great public bar experience. Food good, and good value.

Lovely cooked Sunday dinner, friendly and helpful staff, great prices on food and drink. Would highly recommend. They also had wheelchair ♿️ access we where able to bring my 93 year old Nan in her wheelchair

Always a good hearty meal to be had here from the extensive menu . Never dissapointed!

Lovely stop off, food & service very good

Sunday lunch was tasty, hot and plenty .

Food was tasteless turkey was dry gammon was dried out beef was very fatty Yorkshires was cut into quarters only apple sauce no cranberry no mint sauce very poor

Attended with a large family group. A friendly welcome and excellent service. The food was very tasty and plentiful. A great afternoon out at a very nice pub. Highly recommended, thank you.

Had a quick dinner here. It was exactly what you'd expect from a good pub dinner at a good price!

Had Sunday lunch last weekend and as always was Lovely and plentiful. Looking forward to our next visit. Paul and Melanie 😎😊

Me and my family have been regulars at this pub for many years. Just recently started working here. All the staff are friendly and the food is amazing. Pub is always clean and there is a massive outside area with a park and lots of seating. Highly recommend

The best cooked dinner I have had for a while, so lovely and good portions. The staff were so lovely and super helpful. Will definitely go here again

Excellent hospitality from Max xx

Arrived at midday and ordered food, which finally arrived at 1pm! Asked for toast as my 6yr old son was still hungry after his four fish fingers, which felt like I was asking for the world! Whereby, the bread hardy saw the toaster! Surprised to see an additional £1.95 was charged on top of the £7.95 child's menu for the extra. Had to wait five minutes after our mains arrived for the gravy to be brought out. The males in our party stated the toilets weren't great and the female toilets barely had any soap in them at 1pm. My son used the park afterwards and almost cut himself on several exposed nails in different parts - please be careful, as so many exposed nails which weren't always visible at first. Very dangerous. Such a shame as the reviews prior looked promising

Had a great Sunday lunch there good value, and very tasty. Staff are brilliant friendly and good service we were a party of 4, had pate and soup for starters followed by beef and Lamb dinners. Will definitely go back.

The texture of fish and chips that I haven't had ever before. It was fatastic and affordable. Also, they equipped nappy changing station.

Absolutely stunning little find! Staff are brilliant and so welcoming!! Mrs had the Sunday roast! She will be smiling for days!! 👏👏👏👏

Nice pub, food priced ok, portion size on the smaller size. Had the curry dish & the scampi, both ok. Would go there again, but it was quite a long wait for food, so no good if you are in a rush. Also, we were seated in a dark corner, with the radiator on when the sun was blazing outside! Couldn't sit on just any empty table as apparently the 'locals' have their tables reserved (not marked reserved), even though the place was empty with most sat outside. Seems like they cater for the housing estate around it, and not too bothered with other walk ins, but if that's their market and they get good business, that's understandable. Nothing really wrong with anything, but nothing outstanding.

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere, was a bit loud for someone sound sensitive

We went for Sunday dinner , it's like home from home the food is delicious the portions are good the staff are lovely

Lovely got home made meals, cam with a friend both our meals were beautiful!

Brilliant local pub. Food is excellent and decent selection of drinks too. Super friendly staff and always a pleasure to visit. Plenty of free parking and a decent beer garden for sunny days too! ,👍

Friendly welcome from the staff, a smooth pint of Guinness, fair price.

Had the Sunday roast. It was one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had. And the service was excellent.

Great village pub, with a lovely mixed grill.

My wedding reception was held at the Masons recently and the organising by Maxine and Jamie Lee was exceptional. They took care of the decorations, food, drinks and atmosphere. We had a three course meal which was amazing, large helpings, served hot and service by their charming staff was impeccable. Highly recommended for large parties or intimate meals for two

Love Your Local I spent yesterday afternoon at The Masons Arms, Marshfield, Cardiff, celebrating my birthday; 51st, or 43rd Ex-VAT I prefer to count it. I want to say thanks to all the team here, I had a lovely day sat outside & inside this lush local pub. My wife and I ate here (a little later than was good for us😊, lunch became dinner) and strongly recommend the pub to anyone, and of course the great food. We had a lovely lamb curry from the specials board, and I had my favourite meal from their menu, the 8oz rump steak salad with a side order of sweet potato fries, rare steak and some Tabasco/mayo on the S-P fries, works every time! Beautiful food, great beer, lovely staff, thanks everyone @ the MA for helping to make it a really special day for me. Love your local, and if it’s not your local, make this your regular😊 Thanks all, x.

Just like to say fabulous food staff were lovely atmosphere brilliant would definitely go again

8 of us have just had a wonderful Mothers Day Lunch at the Masons. First impression is how clean and well cared for the premises are. Ours meals were delicious, every plate cleared, with the food fresh and hot. Although extremely busy the service was excellent, the Staff were friendly and very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. If I could give 10 stars I would and we will definitely be back very soon.

Excellent Sunday lunch, the best I've had in a long time. The beef was absolutely lovely, everything was perfect. The staff were friendly and service was fantastic. My first time there and we were made to feel welcome. Honestly loved the place.

Excellent food and service staff brilliant

A lovely and quaint lil' traditional village pub this is. Definitely worth spending some time there!

Absolutely a brilliant meal portions the best of anywhere we've been service also brilliant

Went for Sunday dinner for the first time here. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, home cooked taste and proper meat gravy. Will definitely return again.

An excellent public house very welcoming and friendly staff. Brilliant service all round

It was a nice relaxing evening I spent there

Booked here for Xmas Day Lunch as a family of 8 adults and two children. Sat down ahead of our booking time, food was delivered promptly, no ridiculously long wait inbetween courses and was delicious. Plenty of food and really tasty, empty plates all round. Was so nice we have already booked for next year. Would definitely recommend 👏👏 thank you to all at The Masons Arms

After a house move this is our new 'local' and couldn't ask for better. Lovely friendly and helpful staff and gorgeous food. Sunday lunch is to die for and better than many restaurants that charge a lot more. The festive lunch was lovely. It's also dog friendly, lots of parking and outside space for the summer. A great place to go whether you want a meal, or just a swift half...

I recently went to the pub with a group of friends. Probably one of the best meals and service I’ve had in a long time. I had steak which was incredible. It was cooked exactly how I asked, and the peppercorn sauce was so good. When I ordered given the option of sauces, sides, choice of potato … which is great as you often forget to add the extras when ordering. The staff were really friendly and extremely helpful. Our plates were cleared as soon as we finished and they regularly checked in to make sure our food was okay. The choice of drinks (both alcoholic and alcohol free) was also really good; probably the biggest choice I’ve seen in a long time!! Would 100% recommend this pub and the food here.

Visit here frequently and can never fault the food or service. Pub is immaculate and the staff are so friendly. Great environment for families. Fabulous tasty homemade food and very reasonably price! Will be back!

4 of us had lunch here. Hearty pub grub at a low price but not the highest quality in my view. I had faggots, peas, mash & gravy. Faggots had a slightly odd taste & the mash and gravy were a bit insipid. Very good service though and a lovely atmosphere, quite busy for the time of day. My beer was good!

A really nice meal at a reasonable price with friendly staff and good service.

If only heating was not broken & been coldist day full stares we.will be back

Never have I had a better local with good food, excellent beer & fantastic service. I love this pub, it’s fantastic staff & all that spend time within it. 🥳🎉

Wow best Sunday lunch ever!!! And I've tried lots but this place knocks others out of the park. Will definitely be back.

Called in for a quick meal. Ordered the steak and ale pie, with mash and vegetables. I found the mash to be lumpy, the pie was dry, but my main issue was that there was a piece of rolled up foil I was chewing on. I notified the waitress when she collected the plates, who said she would inform the chef. That was the last I heard from her.

Lovely staff, the vegetarian thai curry was just divine and the atmosphere was just so lively and fun, wide variety of menu options

The beef was tough. The portions were small i.e. one plate of veg between 5 adults. When we asked for another plate we were advised that we would be charged. As my daughter paid, I'm unsure whether we were charged. We have had good meals in the past and as we are "locals" we like to support the pub. Not sure if there's been a change of chef but we won't be in a hurry to return.

I have eaten at The Masons Arms a couple of times previously and been impressed, but this time, I was not overly enamoured. It was during a rugby game, so it was a noisy and friendly atmosphere. The staff were lovely and there seemed to be hundreds of staff. The food, however, was only so-so. It was nothing special and didn't have the same finess it used to have. I had a burger and paid extra for the cheese option. The burger patty was very tasty however the bun was just basic, the sauce too was basic and the cheese was a supermarket square of processed cheese dumped as almost an after thought in top of the patty, tasteless and not even meted onto the meat. A first for us, deserts were basic and somewhat taistless and we actually left some on the plate. This was disappointing to me. We all came away a little down trodden. Unfortunately, it may mean this will be our last visit there as there are plenty of other venues nearby that still seem to tickle or taste-buds more.

Fantastic pub, great staff and a fantastic Sunday diner

Really lovely place to visit ,great food and great prices will definitely be returning.

Popped in on bank holiday Monday nice atmosphere food very good with lots of choice

First time here, we had arranged to meet friends for a catch up. Friendly welcoming staff and fabulous reasonably priced food. Will definitely be coming back. We'll worth a visit.

My first time here with family and what a great pub ! So friendly and food and service excellent

Another great visit to the Masons Arms - would 100% recommend. Beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Lovely big beer garden and very child friendly.

Perfect pub. Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff and brilliant service. Food is always timely and tasty. Amazing surroundings - huge, well kept beer garden with sheltered or open tables. Park for kids, and ample parking. Just perfect.

Fantastic family friendly pub. Old school pub with a warm welcome feeling! Staff are attentive and the food is amazing.

Ate here today, our order was forgotten, enquired where our food was, told we had been missed. Two beef dinners, my meat was very tough, all dinner salty. Gave us a free desert, waitress said at least you got free desert? Asked if there was cinnamon in the apple pie she replied I dont know they threw the box away. Took two attempts to order two deserts . Not cheap at 13.45 each. Staff were all very pleasant but food not good enough.

Bookes a table for two. Gave our order at the bar. Waited 40 mins no food, other tables being served. I asked the waitress about our food, said she would check. Girl who initially served us, said they had forgotten us. Food served, beef tough all food very salty. Waitress remarked at least you got a free desert, really?. Asked if apple pie had cinnamon in, waitress replied dont know as they have thrown the box away. Took two attempts to order two deserts. Wouldnt reccomend.

First time here and had a great welcome, brilliant staff and lovely food!

Love the Mason Arms staff very friendly clean and tidy

First time here. Lovely food . Worth a visit.

Beer garden is lovley. Food over priced. Service was good.

Lovely pub tucked away in Marshfield. Great little park for the kids everyone seemed really friendly. Definitely recommend anyone popping past to dive in for a pint

Decent food, good prices. Staff friendly. Nice garden to eat or drink.

Lovely village pub with a great childres area, although needs some love and repairs.

10 of the family were catered for, all meals out in good time and served hot. No complaints whatsoever, food was v nice and the pub itself was very clean and quirky

Beer was great beef curry was excellent staff were very good

Had forgotten this place as been so many years but atmosphere, welcome and service excellent. Will be back!

Lovely food Great prompt service even when it was really busy

A great family friendly pub... good food and drink

Called in for Sunday lunch visiting my sister in Cardiff. Found the service and Sunday lunch excellent. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Thank you

Good pub but needs a light outside as you leave as unable to see step. Very dangerous especially for elderly
