An absolute gem of a pub in one of Devon's prettiest, most tucked away coastal villages. The…read moreMason's Arms is, quite simply, a fantastic place in every sense of the word. I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

When the next member of staff was asked a question about the food their answer was "I don't know I just bring the food out". The food was well presented but very average for the price. Next member of staff was asked a question about the sweets and his reply " I don't know". We did mention our concerns to the lady in charge and she was very apologetic and offered us a complimentary drink which we decided not to take. In summary if you do come here enjoy the view but don't expect good food or attentive service.

Getting here on foot from Bigbury on Sea or the other villages nearby is usually faster than driving, thanks to a network of public footpaths. So to the pub itself - it's really old with black wood beams, low ceilings and various nooks and crannies to hide it while you eat and drink. I enjoyed a really good plate of local sausages and mash along with a bottle of Cava and a dreamy yes DREAMY lemon and ginger cheesecake. Lots of reprints of press gang posters and similar from Nelson's time. I recommend finding the snug to eat in, right by the bar billiards table - the main dining room is nice enough but not special. Only ding is for the endless loop of a Phil Collins CD - I eventually blocked it out but it would have been good to have better music.
