| I stand (well, sit) corrected - we were at the end of a barrel - the problem wasn't the beer itself, but merely the fact it was nearly finished. As I said, we were treated superbly, and served otherwise excellent beers (and we were especially impressed that we were immediately offered fresh pints even after we'd tasted and ok'd the previous ones). A great little pub. mattygroves - 2 Nov 2011 17:45 |
| As the barman that both "billy" & "matty" mention I would like to clarify that two beers ran out at the same time and the choice of the word "off" is unfortunate as it could be misinterpreted as a quality issue- heaven forbid ! Great to see some of you at the Twickenham Beer Festival last week watch the Masons noticeboard for early notification of the dates for 2012 cheers !! Davton - 2 Nov 2011 14:42 |
| It is variety that is the spice of life. There are pubs that are road houses, that are speciality houses and that are locals. The Mason's Arms falls into the latter category - it is definitely a local, but a wonderful pub. Yes, when we walked in, all eyes (there were maybe 10 customers) swivelled towards us, but in a friendly way. Indeed, it turned out I knew one of the locals, and even recognised the barman from the NPL Sports' Club. We were immediately welcomed, and offered tasters of the beers on offer (there were four real ales - two guest beers, and two regulars). We tasted (billynibbles and I) and opted for a pint that turned out to be nearly off. The beer, as billyn points out, was off, and it was replaced, no questions asked. The barman knows his beer, and could make recommendations (and suggested I return some time this week for the latest guest selection). The beer is reasonably priced for the area, at around £3.30 a pint. The pub is fairly brightly lit, thus highlighting the beer memorabilia. Not just beer, indeed, but items highlighting all sorts of drinks from times past and present. There is a digital jukebox, offering almost any music you could wish for - the evening we went, a good deal of folk and rock was being played - just up my street. We heard Fairport Convention, Supertramp, Jethro Tull, Hendrix, amongst others. Yes, it does miss some of the more esoteric music I listen to (no Figgy Duff), but it is superb - £1 for four tracks. The loos are very clean - it looks like they had recently had a refurb. The corridor leading to the loos does slightly resemble a hotel corridor, but it is well lit and spotlessly clean. The garden is small and backs onto residential gardens, so I've no doubt that it is appreciated that the garden users respect the neighbours. The outside lights weren't working on the evening I was there, but it seemed tidy, if unremarkable. This is a good, local, real ale pub. I can, based on one visit at least, heartedly recommend it. mattygroves - 22 Oct 2011 13:36 |
| Finally dragged 'mattygroves' there against her better judgement (yeah, right Chris!) for an evening session. Bar man let us sample all the current real ales (don't suppose he'd stretch to a taste of Laphroaig). Part way through our first pints, we both agreed that the barrel was 'on the turn', although felt a bit silly since we'd OK'd the sample. When I mentioned it, he gave us the next round of a different beer on the house and as he wasn't convinced that even that was top notch, he changed the barrel early and gave me another one. To quote Sebastian Vettel, "Now THAT'S what I'm talking about boys!" Service from someone who cares about beer. billynibbles - 20 Oct 2011 16:41 |
| On a day rich in discovery (also went to Sussex Arms, Twickers), and to my shame it takes an Aussie to show me where these places are, I visited this for the first time yesterday. Really nice landlady, excellent beers in a sensible and hopefully sustainable array. Good lunchtime feel with a steady trickle of locals, notably, no 'suits'. Packed with beer memorabilia, (unlike The Roebuck which is just packed with any old memorabilia!) and comfortable. Can't wait to drag 'mattygroves' there, protesting all the way (not) billynibbles - 23 Aug 2011 08:54 |
