Media and Reviews

The Daily Telegraph

"The countryside is indeed another country, but as long as there are restaurants like the Mason's Arms somewhere in it, I don't mind it too much"

Michel Roux OBE

"Mark’s cooking is classic modern but with a little free interpretation…he has created unfussy food that people like to eat with no pretentions but a little twist here and there….he just wants to cook and make people happy”

Daily Mail

"As befits a relaxed but stylish gastropub, amazing meals can be washed down with anything from locally brewed real ale to a range of chilled champagnes"

Great British Chefs

"Mark Dodson’s food at The Mason’s Arms is complex, precise and highly assured – as would be expected from his twelve years working as head chef at the Waterside Inn in Bray, where he secured their third Michelin star. With elegant, but unfussy, menus that follow the rhythm of the Devon seasons, the country pub he runs with his wife Sarah was awarded a Michelin star in 2005 – within six months of opening – and has held it ever since."
