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.

All home cooked food, quickly prepared and brought to your table. There is a menu of light meals but more substantial offerings are on a blackboard above the bar, such as: roast pork with vegetables, Boeuf Bourguignon with vegetables or cauli/broccoli cheese crumble with/without new potatoes to name a few. There's also a special puddings menu. Delicious coffee is served with Pringle type mint chocolates. Prices are very reasonable. Upstairs is a complete surprise, with lots of comfy chairs and books to browse. This floor leads onto a large decked, roofed area which would be ideal in the summer of a leisurely evening drink. The loos are great too! Well behaved dogs allowed and are even given a few chews as a reward. Highly recommended.

Rediscovered this place the other night…read more Every bit as good as I remember, with great atmosphere and brilliant food. Service was relaxed but pretty good in general - this isn't the sort of place to rush things. The menu always looks pretty tasty, and manages be interesting and fresh. It's quite easy for gastropubs to fall into an unimaginative rut with their food. Totally forgot to borrow one of their menus at the end of the evening as it had some great ideas for dishes. I think the thing which put us off in the past was the slightly aloof service. I'm glad to say that the staff on that night were great - clearly from the pashmina and white jeans brigade, but very good none the less.

We were there end of May 2012, at about 7 in the evening. At the same time we arrived, a local farmer pulled up in his tractor. He had stopped in for a pint on his way to feed his cattle. I thought that was a good sign. Nice atmosphere inside, but we had such good weather we sat in the garden. There was a decent selection of beer on tap. I was offered tastes of several so that i could make up my mind. Kids had macaroni & cheese with a bucket of chips to share. The fillet and mushroom dish was divine. Creme Brulee was rich, and we shared a cheese plate as well. Yummy. Staff was cheerful and offered to take pictures for us, which turned out well. We all enjoyed the garden. Some patrons brought their dogs which were not unwelcome. I felt like I was at the home of a frien, who happened to be a fantastic cook!

Our cottage in Chulmleigh had a brief paragraph about the Masons Arms and mentioned it was Michelin's 2010 Pub of the Year. Off we went. Stopped by in the afternoon to make reservations for that evening. Enjoyed a nice Cotleigh Tawny bitter while we perused the menu ahead of time. We were delighted with our options from starter to dessert. Couldn't wait for the evening! We arrived for dinner and ordered a drink at the bar. The place is very cozy and staff professional - smiles all around. They are all happy to be there and it really makes the place enjoyable. The Masons Arms was one of my favorite dinner experiences ever. We were brought into a comfy side room with our drinks and handed the menus to review while we munched on complimentary olives, etc. A few minutes later we placed our orders and were left to conversation - which was essentially wondering what would be happening next. The waitress came back and brought us to our little table along the window - where our wine and starter were brought almost as soon as we sat down. Interesting and effective way to do things. Is that common over in the UK? Who cares! Starters: I had the smoked haddock leek and potato soup and she had the chicken liver parfait with chili jam and brioche toast. Both were just sooo astonishingly good. Main: I had the John Dory with clams, butter beans and chive ravioli. Delicious but I think I liked her prosciutto-wrapped monkfish loin with creamed potato in an orange/balsamic sauce. We couldn't stop talking about how good they were. Dessert: We ordered the roasted pineapple pannacotta and the special - chocolate ganache with lime jelly. Both were good and a great end to a great meal. I am not big on sweets but a good dark chocolate hits the spot every time - and the special was really nice. The triangles of lime jelly were a pleasant and delicious surprise, as I didn't think I would care for them. Overall - great meal. Great meal worth every penny - on the high side but well worth it. Of course, we might have gone overboard but it was our holiday! Service was excellent - not one of those places where staff comes by so often it's annoying. They were attentive at just the right times. I will certainly be back should I ever venture anywhere near the Masons Arms again. Great job Mark, Sarah and staff!

Before claiming this as the best pub in Hampshire I think you should probably visit a few more of…read moreHampshire's pubs... This is far from fine let alone the finest and there are far better pubs within ten minutes of here. Before you read any further you should know that for what is a fairly remote pub this is far from driver friendly - just shy of £4 for a tonic water is pretty disappointing if you have had to drive - which most do. As for the food the menu is pretty outdated and very bland. The quality of the food was also poor. The pork was on special and was barely edible - it was so chewy the majority of it got left on the plate. I had the rump steak which was very bland and poorly cooked - at £17 I would expect much better. The cider was very nicely kept and well served - Aspall's Harry Sparrow... Although it was raining today I can see how the Mayfly might be nice for a drink on a hot summer afternoon; with numerous tables on the edge of the river this pub sits in a beautiful location. I would not return here for food but will definitely go back for a couple of drinks on a lazy day with nice weather. The staff were are worth a note. Extremely friendly, helpful and attentive.
