The Masons Arms in Newcastle upon Tyne

Absolutely lovely. Home cooked food, lovely service, such good value!!! Great menu! Small portions available. We will be back!!

The worst Sunday Lunch we have had in years, an empty dining room and after such dreadful food we shall never return ! It may be only 5 miles away ! Brought the Lamb meat home for the dog ! No way to run a business nor a kitchen !!! Fill up on Dessert said my daughter ! But that was a massive piece of heavy stodgy sponge ! Like visiting the 70s / 80s food.

Rough as a badgers' but not as friendly, this boozer is nothing like the photo and has plenty of potential that is going to waste. The beers are standard, no real ales, nothing local, the wine's gepping and the locals who drink here are as likely to punch as chat to you. Could be a gold mine. It's tired and sad instead.

Brilliant village pub, really friendly staff, dog friendly which is always a bonus but the staff love the dogs too with a treat always on hand

Love this place! Really great friendly atmosphere, cosy and traditional local serving lovely home cooked food. Sunday lunch is yummy… they even do deliveries… and everything is really reasonably priced! Bottle of Prosecco is only £14!!!! A home from home!

We called in for a swift pint on a sunny day. The decking was dirty and the clientele fairly rough n ready. No IPA or real ales. Stock lagers on tap. Stock wine brands from small bottles. Very good pint of Guinness (had to opt for it in absence of a more refreshing choice). People friendly enough but all seems a bit run down. Have, however, heard great things about the food, especially Sunday lunches but on this showing, not the best of starts. Could be a gold mine in this former mining village.

A nice place for cheaper eats Sunday lunch is inexpensive and wholesome. Easy parking friendly folk . What more could you ask for the money .

Food very good and really good value. Staff also always friendly and pleasant. So many of the customers are known to the staff which is proof it must be good if they keep going back.

Was only coming in for a couple of drinks after a long day driving and visiting family. But we stayed for a few more. We were made so welcome with all the regulars making feel so welcome with coming over to us and a good chat. We really had a good enjoyable night and thanks to the Bar man and all those regulars who made if a good night for us both. Hope to see you all again soon.

Just popped in after having a meal at the Indians,lad behind the bar very friendly, willing to assist in making us have a great night will be back understand they do good meals.

Fab place for a local pub on the village green, Down to earth company with popular home cooked food and gr8 staff

On my way to another destination but spotted the home cooked food sign. Ignore the entrance which needs updating and give it a try. The tables all had white tablecloths with a red serviette. Maybe a little old fashioned but that is the way I like it. There is no menu but everything is on a board beside the bar. There was also two specials. I selected the braised steak, veg, roast potato and mashed potato. The steak was so tender it fell apart at a touch. There is also a dessert after the meal. I picked apple pie and custard. it was proper custard and piping hot, there was plenty of apple in the pie all home made. I was very impressed and will certainly go back. You would also need to pay by cash

Another great value, great quality lunch. The steak pie is the best around, and the home made chips are fantastic. The staff are real friendly and helpful as well. Starting to make paying a visit a regular occurrence!

Just had the most amazing Sunday lunch thanks to Janice and the girls Just moved to village thought would try it out although didn’t book (husbands fault) no problem three courses what a bargain Home cooked food well present taste fabulous couple of glasses of wine what more could you ask for and only 120 steps from my house Thank you again and will definitely be back

Popped in for lunch with my wife and we had a smashing meal, home made steak pie and chips. It was nice a quiet and the service was excellent. We even treated ourselves to apple pie and custard, equally as nice. We will be back again.

I visit here quite often to meet up with friends.. It's a good village pub with a great atmosphere. We often have Sunday lunch here as it's lovely home cooked food at an affordable price. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating.

We occasionally go for Sunday Lunch as it is Honest food at an extremely inexpensive cost, choice of Beef, Lamb Pork or Chicken with fresh vegetables, good choice of puddings and we always choose Jam sponge with custard. £6.99 for two courses ! Friendly staff , not terribly smart but it serves a very good purpose and when we are a family of six people it will not break the bank.

Para comenzar con los aspectos positivos, la comida era muy buena y de gran valor, pero ahí es donde desafortunadamente termina. El servicio fue muy pobre. La joven que tomó nuestro pedido tenía muy mala educación y estropeó todo el orden. Esperamos más de 20 minutos solo para que lleguen nuestras bebidas (tuve tiempo suficiente para caminar hasta la tienda y volver, ya que no aceptan pagos con tarjeta como el 99% del resto del país). Las bebidas equivocadas llegaron a la mesa y cuando informaron al servidor ella no fue demasiado cortés al respecto.

Good food in a friendly setting. Great value for money without any frills. Only been for Sunday lunches but have been again and again. Pub food for those who like good beer.

Han sido alrededor de una docena de veces. Muy buen menú a un precio increíblemente buena. Siempre tenemos la torta de carne cuando está encendido, nunca tuvimos mejor a menos que he hecho mi propio. El personal siempre es muy agradable y servicial. Será un viaje regular semanal a partir de ahora

He visitado varias veces este pub este año y siempre ha sido una gran experiencia. Es pequeño y agradable, con buena comida casera con generosas porciones. Es una comida de dos platos cuesta 5 así que es barato, no sé que mantener la calidad, pero que hacen. Sólo sirve almuerzos y no abre el sábado, la única mosca en el ungüento, sin embargo si quieres una buena relación calidad-precio sabroso almuerzo, este es el lugar para ir.

Encuentre con amigos para un precioso paseo de otoño, pensamos que pueden ir a almorzar después de la caminata los brazos Mason fue recomendado. Cuando llegamos a uno de los hombres fue a preguntar si estaban todavía sirve, ya que había pasado 2 o'clock y...

Then look no further than the Masons Arms Dinninton have been here for Sunday lunch several times and never disappointed food is homemade and delicious especially recommend the Lamb as it is always busy best to book

Metimos en aquí para el almuerzo la semana pasada y nos quedamos un poco demasiado tarde para las comidas del almuerzo (se sirve hasta las 14:00 horas), pero las mujeres detrás del bar eran extremadamente serviciales y aún prepararon mi colega y yo una tarta, patatas fritas y guisantes, y también buena posición jolly! ere El pastel estaba lleno de carne nunca he experimentado eso antes y oigo el pescado y patatas fritas en un viernes no te puedes perder. Teníamos dos comidas y dos pintas por 15 libras, que pese a haber sido una magnífica relación calidad precio, teniendo en cuenta las raciones y calidad.

We arrived on a wet Sunday afternoon and found the place packed. A small table was available but as other tables were vacated we were offered a much better one. This is a sign of good service which continued throughout. The menu was 2 courses for £6. We did not expect much for this but were astonished at the quality and quantity of food served up. The beef and lamb were very tender and tasty and came with 4 vegetables, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and 2 large yorkshire puddings. The pudding was a delicious orange sponge with ice cream. I've paid more than twice as much on many occasions in other local restaurents and been disappointed. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will be back very soon.The Mason should be congratulated for putting the likes of Wetherspoon's to absolute shame in terms of value, quality and quantity. Well done!!!!Bearing in mind the amount paid it would be disingenuous to give less than 5 stars.

As this being at the top of my street it is very handy, two courses for around 6 pound on sundays, and the puddings aren't small neither. the food is good and the drinks are fairly cheap. You definitely won't be leaving hungry :)

We dropped into this friendly "local" for a pint. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. We did not eat but the menu looked good.If passing though this lovely village, well worth a visit.

We have been to the Masons on several occasions for Sunday lunch. Great value home cooked Sunday lunch. The jam sponge is fab. Staff are friendly but would recommend booking in advance as it does get busy on a Sunday. Would definately recommend.

Had a drink in the bar before we went for a meal prices OK seemed friendly just your average local handy for meeting your friends before you go for a curry.

Went for Sunday lunch - 4 meats on offer, no veggie option. For the price they charge, no-one can complain, £5.95 for two courses which were large! No frills but none expected.

this is home cooking at its best great meals great service going there twice a weeknow the two course is excellent

We called in on a Sunday for lunch, we were not disappointed. The portions are very generous. We opted for the 2 courses at £5.95.The staff were friendly and obliging. Yes the place could do with a refurb but it doesnt spoil the quality of food.Lunch was just like you would make at home!

WE have gone here for sunday lunch on several occasions. The food is lovely (just like mammy made) All home cooked. The staff are very friendly. The décor is a bit dated but that doesn't bother us. We go to eat ...not to look at the decor

What was once a very popular pub, is beginning to show serious signs of wear and tear. The food is average pub food, but is Ok, if you enter through the bar door you will have to try to ignore the horrible smokers decking and piles of cigarette ends strew all over and even heaped up under the ramp, disgusting, and the gents toilets OMG.

after many years of trying various pubs for sunday lunch we stumbled across the masons arms then never went anywhere else, food was better than some pubs where we were paying 2 and somtimes 3 times the price and staff are the friendliest we came across nothing too much trouble and they are great with the children, and if you cant finish your meal they will plate it for you to take home.sadly my lunch companion died recently so i dont get there often now but am always made most welcome when i do visit

If you want fancy cooking then this is not the place for you. If you want grans home cooking then you will feel right at home. They serve substantial portions, have lovely staff and the food is good value. The décor is perhaps a little dated but it seems to add to the charm. Will be returning.

Visited The Masons Arms Dinnington Village for Sunday Lunch on a colleagues recommendation, and was not disappointed. Excellent Sunday Lunch using fresh vegetables with 2 Yorkshire puddings, tasty gravy and a more than adequate potion of delicious roast lamb. Went with my wife and daughter, my wife had roast pork and my daughter had chicken and pork - all reported favourably. Couldn't believe the price-only £5.95 per person for main course and sweet. We had syrup sponge & custard, banana split and chocolate fudge cake with ice cream - again all very nice, and you can add a starter for another £2 and a coffee for £1, where can you get a great tasting (like home made) 3 course Sunday Lunch plus coffee for £8.95? The decor could maybe do with a bit of an update (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) but the quality of the food, the friendly service, and (for me) the excellent pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord Ale could not be faulted. Heartily recommend the Masons Arms for Sunday Lunch, well worth a visit - we will definitely be back.
