The Masons Arms in Doncaster

The Masons Arms, located conveniently next to Doncaster Market, is a welcoming spot that’s perfect for a relaxed meal or drink. The friendly guy at the bar adds to the warm atmosphere, always ready with a smile and happy to chat, which makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. One of the standout dishes here is the crispy salted naked pork. As a Romanian, I can say this is a delicious choice that really hits the spot. It’s perfectly seasoned, with a crunch that’s incredibly satisfying. Pairing it with a cold lager is the way to go—it complements the flavours beautifully and makes for a truly enjoyable experience. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or just want to unwind with a good drink, The Masons Arms has you covered. The combination of friendly service, tasty food, and a relaxed vibe makes it a great spot to visit whenever you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be stopping by again!

Lovely place to meet up & have lunch with friends, we all had the chicken curry with rice & peas, was amazing, we did order 2 extra portions of chips @£4 each to share between 4 but when they arrived we were very disappointed with the amount of chips for £8 !! Such a shame cos the curry was amazing but definitely needed a few extra chips to make it a “man” portion. Beautiful place with a great atmosphere

A spontaneous Sunday lunch by the fire is a godsend in these cold times, portions were perfect and I can honestly say they make the best gravy I have ever tried. Brilliant selection of beer and a fire! What more could you want.

Good little bar with a good selection of beers, wine and soft drinks

Dog friendly pub, it would have been better with real ale though. A few locals in at the bar. Food freshly prepared and a good choice. Wheelchair accessible and plenty of parking.

Absolutamente increíble hallazgo! Nos encontramos con este fantástico bar en una estancia reciente en Doncaster. Quería un trago rápido antes de ir al Domo. Parecía pequeño acogedor y acogedor, sin duda lo era! Paso a través de las puertas del medio al espacio más sorprendente, que conduce a otro espacio acogedor. Tan grande, que volvimos más tarde! Disfrutamos sentados allí bebiendo cervezas en un ambiente muy frío.

Excellent town centre pub serving a good choice of real ale well.

Quirky little pub we found on a pub crawl, friendly staff and friendly customers. Had a great experience. No loud music during the day, you can hear yourself speak unlike the places near by.

Could do with more Bar staff on special nights out especially on public holidays 🤔

Another favourite pub. Chilled atmosphere, great covered outdoor seated area.

Great staff, Great beer, Great place.Sunday lunch is fantastic.

Sunshine and a pint. Perfect place to enjoy both.

Been going for ages with mates. Great place. Will come again. Food nice. Good music. Service excellent. Toilets clean

The best dutty fries in the world! Always great beer and delicious food. Staff are really friendly and helpful too. Looking forward to our next visit 😄

It was a bit quiet but still a nice pub 👍

Traditional market place pub. Not fancy or upmarket but has a lot of character. Market place setting with some outdoor tables. Timothy Taylors is not bad but I do miss the Tetleys

The food is really nice! But, the portions are tiny in comparison to other Caribbean takeaways and much more expensive.

Does not taste like oxtail at all main flavours I could taste is lemon and coconut

The best takeaway in Doncaster😋

Looks small from the outside but as plenty of seating area's. Didn't try the food.

Very quiet. Clean and lovely decor. No atmosphere.

Great 4 traditional beers & fab atmosphere when busy

One of my favourite bars in Doncaster , has old style bar , gin room , rum room and live music at weekend 👌

If you like to get ripped off with beer prices this is the place for you, overpriced and flat beer when I went

Great pub we discovered recently thanks to friends. Don't know how we missed it before even though we lived in Doncaster for more than 15 years now.

Great pub, proper traditional, great outside courtyard in summer

The Guiness is lovely l, never eaten here yet, I come for the bikers meet ups.

Loved this pub had an amazing atmosphere and loved the rugby!

Sandwich on "hard dough" turned out to be uninteresting white bread. The filling was similarly unexciting; the tastiest part was the garnish. The saltfish fritters tasted mainly of fried breadcrumbs and chilli, with a faint fishy hint. My pint of cask ale was over the hill and turning sour.

I asked if they did Sunday dinner and was told there amazing and (to die ) we ordered beef dinners. To die for maybe very small portions and not worth the money paid and the waiting time for what we had nearly An Hour . warning stay away from the food the salt is far too much especially if your a diabetic like me . Gave me bad cramp. There are alot of better places around much cheaper and better tasting. The dinner came with all the meal stood on top of each other not very well presented

Sorry but this place is really disappointing we were walk ins for Sunday lunch asked a member of staff if they did Sunday to av a reply “yes, it’s amazing” so we ordered beef Sunday lunch for two people and two lemonade, one with blackcurrant. We waited 50 minutes and expected an amazing large Sunday lunch for the time it took to be prepared but when it arrived it was disappointing the Yorkshire pudding was Obvs shop bought the lunch was nothing out of the ordinary for the price cost £32.50 shocking really we won’t be returning at all - we sat outside in the courtyard which could have been made more cleaner tables wiped down and swept floors instead it stunk of a blocked up drain which I only spotted as we had finished eating, I ate it all because I was hungry

We were walk-ins for a Sunday lunch, upon entering we asked a member of staff if they served Sunday lunch who replied “yes, they’re amazing” we ordered braised beef Sunday lunch with two soft drinks (lemonade) .. it eventually arrived after (asking two members of staff) 50 minutes later .. it wasn’t the best of Sunday lunches I’ve tasted, it was very salty overall and the Yorkshire pudding was ok but Obvs shop bought it wasn’t satisfying at all, it wasn’t enough to fill us and very expensive for what it was - my friend joked is that the starter we won’t come again we gave the waitress our honest opinion but fell on deaf ears

Nice place. There's a terrace out front and seats out back. A better beer choice than expected.

Original pub friendly staff wide choice of drinks our town local

A good traditional pub on the market with Cask Marque. Madge chose an Ilkley Blond. ( not on top form..probably near barrel bottom..always a curse of real ale) Lovely interior. Front bar busy with England v Columbia ladies QF ( England just won). Back room showing boring boring Arsenal empty. Nice room..rear beer courtyard...see The Rum Rooms...a West Indian bar...shared space / business. Food menu looks fab-u-lous.

Still a nice unspoilt market pub, not many left in the market area off Doncaster,

Absolutely lovely food both kids and partner enjoyed every last grain great staff & such a relaxing vibe thank you we will be back

Lovely pub, enjoyed the atmosphere, lovely beer.

Great atmosphere and well priced!

Always a belly full and great fun every Bank Holiday is a reggae fest and the jerk pan is active in a the yard...

one of the best Sunday dinners I've had in a very long time. thank you

This place is a peaceful place when it's not too packed. The pricing of the beverages is pretty low. The staff are friendly and fast working. The spacing is good as well. Good pub to go out to have a couple of drinks with your mates. The building it's self got a nice old-fashioned style, with it being in the town centre marketplace. Overall, its a brilliant place for a day off working.

Nice atmosphere cheap drinks too after most of the pubs We'd been in that day definitely be coming back

The pub is nice and cosy but when it comes to service you are charged different amounts each round for the same drinks

Great old pub no loud music Can hear yourselves

good choose craft beers it does food as well

Good choice of different drinks friendly service

Excellent pub good beers on tap and sport on TV

Great seeing live bands in the courtyard!

Shame there isn't more traditional pubs left in the town centre

Always top brews...and well cared for beers 🍻👍

One of the oldest pubs in the area, it used to be a nice traditional English pub. Sadly, not anymore.

Good range of cask ales. Handy for Doncaster market

Great pub. Fantastic beer good cellar good service good food

A lovely what I would term a "typical Yorkshire" pub. Welcomed by bar staff and locals alike,myself and my best buddy had an enjoyable drink in the outside area opposite the market. A regular venue for us on our visits to Doncaster.

Great little place to visit, lovely weather, enjoying all the fun of the day.

Enjoy bike's night will be going to that a lot. Frendley and welcoming Pud

A great pub, I loved the entertainment but the beer is expensive. The landlord is a merry fellow and blames the Council. Definately worth a visit but take out a loan as the beer is expensive.

Tuesday night is bike night. A good mixture of machine's.

Lovely staff .scooter club came all really chatty .will defo return !

Good beer and nice food with a good selection. The pizza was very nice

We popped in for lunch on the off chance as the Wool Market was closed and wow, so glad we did. We had a sharer for two, the meaty one with a couple of drinks and the food and flavours were absolutely outstanding, really looking forward to visiting the No7 restaurant, if you like tasty food, this is the place.

Nice beer 🍺 an nice plessent staff

Good atmosphere friendly staff drink and food spot on

Always liked this place and its tardis-like deception from the front but it's even better nowadays with a nice covered area at the back and the beer selection has something for everyone and everything for someone.

Amazing food an incredible chef....Sunday lunch is so so good really unforgettable

Amazing. Really nice seating in the back and friendly staff. Food was excellent and a really fun dog menu.

Lovely quiet old market place pub ,good ale ,decent prices and you can even hear yourself talk !

Good choice of ale, but a bit pricy. Toilet needs a rebuild.

First time here. Not busy so was served quickly (drinks) ordered food which also was fairly quick too and very nice.

A wee bit to small for my liking. But great place

Nice local atmosphere, good staff , happy to help.

I accidentally left a review for The masons when I was actually at the pub next door. Sorry for the confusion guys. I should have visited you since you allow dogs.

Always a quality pint and the back courtyard is beautiful and quirky. I had a burger that was impressively tasty too.

One of Doncasters best pubs. Very good on an afternoon too. Highly recommended..

What used to be a great local hangout has now changed for the worse. Such a shame.

Good choice of real ales Old Peculiar £4.40 a pint

Great atmosphere, brilliant pint and the young man behind the bar was very efficient and courteous.

Lovely interior, nice atmosphere. Nice selection of beers. Good value for money. Very busy and popular.

Best Sunday dinner we've had in ages and definitely the best gravy I've ever had. Puddings spot on too will definitely be back great all around

Brill live music good atmosphere

Good beer good staff nice place

Decor is different than the usual pubs/restaurants but gives you sense of relaxation and the food is devine! Desert was beautifully presented!

Well.... We've been here a few times for food, but first time we've sat and had a drink all night. Owen behind the bar is wise beyond his years, and one hell of a host. Music has been fantastic all night and both the guys behind the bar Owen and Jayden have been very attentive and friendly. Can't wait to return. Would highly recommend.

Had a brilliant day and then a great night in the rum rooms in back. We all need another day an night like this again. Roll on Doncaster Reggae music festival

I absolutely love this place. There's something for everyone from sitting outside at the front enjoying the sunshine, sitting in the front bar and leading all the way through to the Rum Rooms. Most of all the staff are amazing. So friendy and courteous. I was made to feel very welcome over a period of four days spent in Doncaster recently. In particular a big shout out to a fascinating young man and perfect bar person Owen Taylor. Cheers Owen, a job well done 😊

One of the best bars in Doncaster

This is a lovely pub and one that visitors to the town should call in for a pint. The front bar is a classic, great when the sport is on and the locals are lovely. It has been extensively developed at the rear and in the summer time its a lovely place to listen to some great music, especially after a day at the races. My only gripe is that sometimes the bar staff are not that great at pulling a pint preferring to fill the glass up rather than leave a nice head on the ale...

Individually... I just love this place... try it experience the relaxing while lively atmosphere.....for me... Excellent 😘

Traditional ale house that's not been spoilt.

Excellent pub. Warm, welcoming and friendly. A great atmosphere and superb beer awaits you. Will be visiting again soon and trying out their food.

A well run pub with owners and staff who are on point for customer service. Great beers and spirits on rotation

Always a warm welcome.. just how a pub should be. It's nice not to be in a big chain bar

Ideal for a good pint while the women folk browse the market stalls on the Square

Good, no-nonsense pub with friendly and efficient staff. Excellent live music too!

Lovely traditional pub. Unfortunately they didn't have Timothey Taylor's Landlord today which is my husband's fav.

Really lovely bar, staff, and drinks selection.

Excellent service and very friendly staff.

A favorite of the people we were with not me drinks were well kept

Called into this little gem of a place for a Sunday Dinner,.. Have to say that it was the best meal out we've had,.. Everything from the starter's to the desserts were excellent. Great food, great presentation, great staff,.. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough 👌..
