The Masons Arms in Northumberland

Lovely little traditional pub. We just popped in for a coffee on a very quiet afternoon, but the owners were friendly, the coffee was good, the dog was welcomed, and I'd like to visit again when it's a bit busier, and take the opportunity to try their food and their beer.

Stayed for 2 nights. Was a great experience here, and we will be back. Loved this place.

Pizza was good. Scampi was average. Beer and cider good.

We all loved our stay here during out detecting weekend. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

On holiday in Norham, we visited the Masons arms 4 times, 3 for drinks and once for a wonderful 3 course meal! Fist class service, all the staff were very attentive and friendly, we felt so welcomed, food was extremely tasty, very good value for money! We would highly recommend! Our spend per person was on one starter, 2 mains and 2 deserts! Toilet facilities were spotless!

My husband and I phoned on the off chance to see if we could book three nights,we were greeted by the most friendly helpful manageress.Our stay could not of been better in fact we would like to have stayed longer.The cosy pub area was inviting,the dining room was stunning and congratulations to the chef on the fantastic food.All the staff were friendly and helpful . rooms were really nice brilliant shower, always nice biscuits and tea facilities left after the room was cleaned.The day were leaving after a great breakfast we were lucky enough to meet the owners what lovely people they were.We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Masons Arms.Jen and Grant Adams from.Hampshire

Great place for Sunday dinner, we enjoyed a great roast dinner and a few pints.

Great place to eat and drink fantastic surroundings. Thank you Linda and James. Can't add any more been again today great meal A credit to Norham when pubs and hosteleries are dying this goes from strength to strength. Well done again to you both.

This will be my go to pub every-time I’m in Northumberland from now on. Great food, super welcoming staff and owner. Accommodating too, had dogs with us and soon gave them water and lots of fuss. As well as a tiny baby - more than enough room for a pram. The kind of pub you immediately feel at home in and want to go back to time and again!

Had a lovely meal tonight. Booked six of us at really short notice and had dogs with us, and they were really welcoming. The food was amazing and made our day. Would highly recommend this pub. The owner was also really friendly. Can’t fault it.

A very nice Sunday lunch , great value for money for a 3 course 17.50. Only just over £4 a pint too ! The water well in the ladies is a great feature 😊. Owner Linda and staff all lovely and friendly . Norham is a lovely little village with Castle and church , and a great butchers too !

Great dog friendly pub. Great menu and really helpful and pleasant staff..

Had 3 course inc roast dinner. Delicious food. Price was a bargain for the quality of food .

A step back in time to an olde world pub. Like being in England 40 years ago. Such a refreshing change

Classic English pub in a small town. It offers rooms and catering in the renovated rear part.

A great pub with rooms and a decent restaurant. The pub has a great atmosphere - the staff are brilliant! The rooms are great value for money - everything you need and a really decent breakfast. We had some issues at dinner - service was a bit slow, asked for a wine list and it took 15 mins and another request before it came, and we had another col of minor issues. But the waitress was young (or maybe we’re at an age when waitresses, like policemen, are all young!) and maybe just needs some training. Didn’t spoil our stay - we loved the pub and the village :)

Great place staff are brilliant 👏🏼

Lovely place in a beautiful village. We had the 3 course set Sunday dinner it was delicious. Food was all 5*. I would have liked less mash and maybe 1 more than the singular roast potato with my roast beef. Sticky toffee pudding is the best!

Lovely little pub with great, friendly, owners and staff. Stayed for 5 nights and were made so welcome. Food was very satisfying and nothing too much trouble. Chef even created a 4 starter board for us to share as we weren't very hungry, and it ticked all the boxes. Thank you.

Had a lovely lunch with Berwick Stoke club. Food was amazing staff was very friendly & accommodating for people in wheelchairs . Beautiful dinning area . Toilets was spotless with a lovely added attraction in the floor . Definitely recommend

Two of us, cyclists, stayed here whilst on the Coast and Castles route. They stored our bikes in the garage. The rooms are lovely. The food was great. And the service we have had, is perfect. A fantastic place to stay.

A pub with a fantastic atmosphere, lovely staff and fantastic beer! It was a pleasantly unexpected modern and airy dining room with wonderfully delicious food. Watch out for the amazing surprise as you enter the ladie's loo, it took my breath away! IYKYK 😉

We chose to eat here after searching for a convenient location for 3 couples from 3 different towns to meet easily. However, after eating here, I would now reccomend it as a destination restaurant. Our meal was served in the more modern and spacious extension. The food options were traditional but with slight tweaks. All diners were very happy with their food. Following dinner, we were then returned to the older and more cosy bar area where we enjoyed the rest of the evening. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. However, I am caeliac and while there were gluten free options for the main courses, the starter options were very limited and there was no option (other than ice cream) for dessert. They also did not stock a GF bottled beer. This is the only reason I have given 4/5 for food otherwise it would also be 5.

Great old school pub with excellent food and friendly staff

Superb meal, food staff and drink brilliant. Pub has the most friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

But of a hard one to write, but the only way to see improvement is with constructive criticism. We went for the Friday curry night. It is advertised as 6 to 8.30. We arrived half an hour early, we could have been sat 30 minutes earlier. But after being sat at 8pm (which we had booked weeks prior), we were felt to feel like we had just walked in 5 minutes before the kitchen was closing. The waitress's who served the table, her attitude wasn't great. We had to chase up a drinks order when sitting down. Which wouldn't have been a problem at all, but the servers poor attitude merits a mention. I'd understand if we were indeed a late sitting down, but we weren't. Lagers were flat and pipes need cleaned. Stella, carling and IPAs weren't at standard. The curries weren't great, the prawn curry was more a veg curry. One microwavable nann bread cut into 4 bits for a whole table. 1 frozen samosa, 1.5 bits of onion badji for £2.50. Chips were unbelievably good, probably the only reason this review is one star for the food rather than zero. Please rectify this, as everything else in the pub is phenomenal and previous visits have been excellent. I'd like to think this was a one off! But with almost spending nearly £60 per person I think this review was due.

Beautiful place amazing service ❤️ perfect night!

Just been for Sunday lunch. I am so annoyed I haven't been before. Absolutely enjoyable meal brilliant friendly staff. Will be back

Great food cosy wee pub Great staff

A traditional country pub and restaurant with a great atmosphere. The Masons catered for our family meal of 14 and the food was excellent. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming too. We will definitely be back!

By pure chance we found the Mason Arms From the moment we stepped in to the pub, the bar maid couldn’t have been more helpful. After choosing our drinks we were shown in to the lovely dining room at the rear, the menu was a great selection of pub food greats. We shared a garlic mushroom starter and glad we did. I went for the gammon with all the trimmings and my wife had the scampi, the portions were plentiful and this is why we were glad on sharing a starter. The ladies toilets have a quirky glass topped well dressed for Halloween Well worth the visit and we will be definitely going back as the food and especially the bar maid were tremendous

Very helpful and friendly staff, beautiful clean rooms, we had a great night would definitely recommend a visit , food amazing

Cannot fault it one bit service was absolutely fabulous great staff

Proper village pub .Nice staff felt welcome

Extremely nice staff and the sunday roast food was truly tasty. All three of us agreed. Absolutely recommended.

Great Country Inn. Friendly service, good grub and well maintained rooms at a great price

Lunchtime. Very nice. The front end is traditional. There is a specific dining area in the modern extension. A telly nice garden area. And they appear to do modern rooms. Really recent redo of loos. According to my wife the ladies has a unusual feature well worth the visit.

Used for an overnight break during motorbike tour. Great twin rooms , nice public bar, good breakfast. Will use again if in area .

Lovely place, dog friendly, really good food and large helpings. Would recommend this place for eating out.

Too many of us around too little table space. Cramped. Beef over cooked. Only 1 roast potatoe.

Bonne adresse, il y a le pub, le restaurant et l'hôtel au même endroit. Le propriétaire et le personnel sont très professionnel et à l'écoute, les prix sont très corrects et l'établissement très propre.

Excellent food, lovely pub, brilliant service meal all received at one-time friendly staff very attentive, would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed overnight after a wedding- beautiful clean rooms, very peaceful. Lovely staff, beautiful village. Thoroughly recommend

The waitressing and bar staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Really enjoyed the food, also accommodated so well to dietary needs. Everything was lovely, thank you

We visited from Toronto for the first time. Excellent restaurant and service and warm atmosphere.

Nice pub good pint and good service from nice people

We had a lovely pub lunch here after visiting Norham Castle. Staff were helpful, the pub is dog friendly and the food was very tasty and well priced! We would return when in the Borders 😁 thanks!!

Sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich Ganz ganz ganz herzlichen Dank für die Mühe und Hilfe für mich

Great find. Lady who knows how to serve a pint

A decent pub for a drink but would not recommend eating here. I went with 3 others, my pizza was burnt, other meals included average gammon with a very burnt egg. Portion sizes were very small

What a fabulous place - everyone welcomed us Would definitely recommend a visit

Lovely little pub! Great service, great atmosphere. Needs more food options though!

Good food, well priced & nice atmosphere

Nice old-fashioned village pub. We went for lunch - soup and various types of sandwiches. Cake , tray bake & scones too. Excellent value. It was quiet during the week. Pity the real ale ran out and the new barrel had to settle.

Welcoming country pub with lovely food and friendly landlady. Well worth a visit in the village of Norham Berwickshire.

Minimalist menu, corners of sandwich were soggy, however toilets were spotless, staff were nice and welcoming, plenty of seating.

Booked for Sunday lunch to celebrate a belated friends birthday. The meal was beautiful, lovely roast beef and good portions. We had sticky toffe pudding with cream, a selection of 3 various choice if ice cream. I had brownie, although must say very surprised when the waitress brought it to the table on a knickerbocker glory class. It was like being in heaven BEAUTIFUL not like the normal square on a plate with a portion of ice cream. 10 out of 10 for food and service.

Not very impressed with the standard of food The Indian meal we had on a 1 to 10 scale gets 3 Sorry

Always a friendly and welcoming place. Good food, good service in comfortable surroundings. The perfect local! Also has a good reputation for comfortable bedrooms and tasty meals.

Nice ales and great food. The lady running the place doesn't seem to stop and is constantly rushing around making sure everything is good. Guess that's how she works but I so wanted to tell her to take 2 minutes for herself to beathe. Going from the small cosy country pub front though to the restaurant at the rear with its modern styling is like walking through time. It so different you just don't expect it and its a really nice place to eat. I'd recommend this pub to eat or drink if you're in the area.

Lovely meals in a welcoming setting.

Always a welcoming atmosphere in the pub even on a quiet day, a pleasant place for a pint and a bite to eat.

Lovely place to stay, nice quiet country town. Rooms good, food good and staff great.

Very nice friendly atmosphere and staff are excellent service thankyou

Friendly staff Good wholesome food. Nice beer garden.

Lovely food, great friendly staff. Highly recommended

Was here for Easter Sunday lunch as someone recommended it, on arrival young waitress took us to our table I asked for white wine my husband asked do you have bottle of sparkling water oh don't know will have to ask, we both ordered roast beef the cauliflower was Hard I left my my husband ate it I wish he had left it for the chef to see, NO roast potatoes Yorkshire pudding was good, both ordered apple crumble I left my apple as dont think sugar had been added, the young waitress seemed as if she wanted to be else where and was chewing gum all the time, disappointed

Brilliant stop over, everything spot on

Brilliant little pub with a surprisingly roomy rear restaurant section. I went for the Bangkok bad boy burger and was pleasantly surprised just how good it was, lovely food and a nice clean pub with great friendly service and staff, I'd definitely go again if I was in the area!

Great restaurant and friendly atmosphere, staff were lovely and accommodating and the food is reasonably priced, I got the Bangkok burger and it was absolutely brilliant!

Food and service exceptional also very reasonable prices

2nd visit and will use again. Basic but clean and comfortable with value for money

Very friendly and welcoming. The bar lady need’s numerous gold stars she is outstanding. Needs a wage rise and also extra help She ran her self ragged and always had a smile Superb customer service. Please help her with more staff

Great village pub meals fantastic and great prices. Good choice of beers.

Lovely little country pub and restaurant

Came across by chance. Lovely village pub with various fishing history on the walls. Friendly staff and the ladies toilet makes you stop in your tracks as you walk in-bones make you laugh! Had panine and a toastie to fill a wee gap. Would recommend a drop in here

Standard there,had the best time with my partner Babs, can not forget about it I would give the best wishes to all the staff 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

Mad a great one night stay whilst on a bike tour warm room great food friendly environment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great little village pub. Food was excellent. The pigeon breast was the best I've ever had.Friendly and efficient staff.

Really friendly staff and atmosphere, they were very busy which left a few little niggles such as roast potatoes missing and no chocolate sauce on the ice cream but the food was good and the staff excellent at reasonable prices so would defo return if we come back to area again

Great food, great hosts and staff.

We booked a table at the Masons Arms for our evening meal. We were staying in Norham as part of a multi-day cycling tour and were suitably ravenous. Linda was easy to deal with by email and it was not a problem for her to move our booking when I realised we were running late. We were made very welcome by the confident and competent barman, before being shown through to the restaurant extension, which was impressively light and spacious. Again, the service was excellent, as were the chips! We retired to the bar and were made to feel welcome by the locals, which is not always the case in rural pubs. Will definitely visit again if I'm in the area

An amazing lunch. We both had Cambert to start, followed by roast beef main then rhubarb tart to finish. The food surpassed expections. Fantastic staff. Thank you all so much.

Absolutely splendid on all counts, a treat.

Lovely pub, nice garden & the food looked very appetising & good value

Deceptively small from the outside but a great size indoors with little snugs with an excellent, bright&modern dining room to the rear. Sunny&sheltered beer garden with lovely, modern accomodation surrounding. Light lunch was fresh and so tasty. Service was excellent. All staff very friendly. An old well in the ladies loo was a surprise😆.

Really great welcoming pub, with good food, cosy bar and really nice rooms to stay. Staff are very friendly.

My husband and I had an evening meal here whilst on holiday in the Borders. Simply fish & chips but it was superb. Excellent food with excellent service. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great food and very welcoming atmosphere 👌

Stayed here for 5 nights last week. Lovely quiet pub and village, food great, owner and staff really friendly.

This village pub is a surprise. The small and rather dark bar is a prelude to the nicely spacious and bright, modern dining room, with full-length engraved glass windows opening on to a pretty courtyard. I was surprised by how busy it was on a Monday evening. The menu was interesting and, by the looks of it, good value. A table of four of us were happy with the food without being ecstatic. The addition of a side salad or something in the way of veg. would have helped. My chicken with rice and bbq sauce did have cauliflower and broccoli mixed in, and was nice but I was surprised there was not more flavour. The desserts were great. But......there was a very long and unexplained wait for the main course. Two of us had starters so we were OK, but the other two really did begin to fade!! I guess it was a momentary blip. The other problem, for four older people, was difficulty of hearing when the restaurant got busy....a design issue. Its all hard surfaces, nothing at all in the furnishings to absorb sound. If this sounds too critical, it is because we really liked most of what we saw, and were glad to have visited....and, as relatively local residents, will definitely return.

Popped in for lunch while visiting the area, the lunch menu had plenty to choose from and arrived well presented and delicious, the staff were friendly and courteous.

Room clean and comfy. Staff excellent. Great food.

Great pub in a lovely village. Friendly staff, good beer, decent food.

Great pub, great friendly staff. Was in during Coldstream civic week rideout, really enjoyed it.

Nice place for an overnight stay with B&B Limited menu available on the Sunday evening when we arrived but the food was OK. Room was clean with a modern bathroom and shower. Breakfast was good and service was attentive. We commended the staff to the owner when we were leaving, which is not something I am always prepared to do.

Unobtrusive pub with amazing features and superb service, visited during our holiday nearby.On entering we thought it was just a rather small pub....confused…We walked through the bar and at the rear we found a lovey airy and well spaced restaurant which was spotless. Further on was a really nicely kept garden area which was also looked after well and felt very relaxing. We loved the decor which was very tasteful. We chose three courses of the Sunday menu. Our starters were nicely designed, very tasty and a perfect size, no complaint on size, perfect for a starter. We then chose various Sunday roasts and they appeared at the table looking very tasty and we were not disappointed. Again perfectly sized and we felt we had eaten quality food that was perfectly cooked, we were very impressed. We couldn't help it, we had to see the dessert menu and although I would like to have seen a posset on there or similar, there was ample choice for the Sunday menu so we all chose various desserts thinking we were not so sure that they would be quite to the standard of the courses we had enjoyed. They were perfect, yet again perfectly adequate and enjoyable. Yes, there could have been a little more selection as I am a dessert person but it still kept me happy. We were served by Declan who was an exceptionally good host. This is a busy place on a Sunday because a lot of people want to eat here but the service was so run very smoothly, we did not feel we waited too long or that we were rushed. It is no surprise that many visit when they serve food like this and at a refreshingly sensible price. Although he was only lending a hand today, we would certainly give a shout out to Declan who gave us the most attentive and respectful service. Refreshing these days. We are seriously considering coming back tomorrow.

Friendly, welcoming staff, dog friendly and amazing food!

Surprised to find a big light airy restaurant at back. Friendly staff reasonable selection on menu with popular dishes.

Had a lovely two course Sunday lunch. Potato and leek soup starter followed by a beef roast with a huge Yorkshire pudding. Very nice and reasonably priced
