    An Expensive Way to Ruin Your Evening…read more If you're looking for overpriced food, glacial service, a menu designed by someone who's just discovered oat milk, and a manager with all the charm of a parking warden, this is the place for you. We booked a table for three (plus three small, well-behaved dogs) a week in advance. Despite giving them a heads-up about the dogs, we were thoughtfully crammed next to a large, noisy party in the busiest corner of the pub, like being seated in the mosh pit of a Coldplay concert. Then began the Great Wait: 40 minutes of being spectacularly ignored, watching other tables -- who arrived long after us -- enjoy drinks, starters, and main courses before anyone even glanced in our direction. I've seen glaciers move faster. The menu? Sparse and uninspiring, like they hired a "Head of Creativity" from a tofu conference. It leans heavily on vegan and gluten-free options, which is fine if the food is good, but not when you're being charged artisan prices for supermarket-standard fare. I ordered the chicken burger, allegedly marinated in gochujang. Now, I'm not saying they lied, but if there was any gochujang involved, it must have been whispered to the chicken from across the kitchen. The burger was basically fine.. think Wetherspoons on a good day, but at £20, you'd expect a little more than "vaguely edible." All of this could have been forgiven -- overpriced, underwhelming food is practically a national tradition -- but the real lowlight was the manager. Rude, grumpy, and radiating the energy of a man who peaked around 2003. After one of our dogs (who had been quietly snoozing under the table) barked when a waitress nearly stepped on him, the manager stormed over to deliver a stern warning: "One more bark and you're out." Good to know they take noise so seriously, if only the same policy applied to their karaoke-sized party next door. In hindsight, we should have left right then, sparing ourselves the disappointing food and a final bill that felt like it should have come with a ski mask and a note saying, "Hand over the cash." In summary: this pub is trading entirely on fond memories and pre-pandemic TripAdvisor reviews. Avoid it unless you particularly enjoy being overcharged, underfed, and scolded like a naughty child for existing.

    Back in the area and had an opportunity to give them another try...much better meal experience this…read moretime around! The three of us shared a nice mix of breads and spreads as an appetizer. The main dish of fish stew was really good...last time it smelled delicious but I was unable to try it. This time I had it for my meal. It was loaded with mussels and three kinds of fish in a delicious broth that was great soaked up with a piece of bread. Funky atmosphere, nice beer and cider selection and a satisfying meal. Glad I was able to return!

It was very welcoming and clean with all new bathrooms with cozy robes, complimentary beer, fizzy water, biscuits, and we enjoyed some great food. Breakfast was included. Also very dog friendly! They provided a dog bed for the family dog. Oh and very lovely beer brewed on side! Will be back for sure!

    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.
