The former Masons Arms has a bright comfortable bar overlooking the beer garden with views to the Lammermuir Hills. It features a small horseshoe bar finished with reclaimed wood and barrels, a smart wooden floor and a real fire in winter. Meals are served all day with booking advisable at busy times.

The superb beer garden has a bar as well as seating for up to 72 people. There are eight heated booths as well as open tables and hot water bottles are available.

The pub is a short walk from Belhaven brewery and great base for walking round Belhaven Bay and Seafield Pond. It is also close to the Belhaven Surf Centre, John Muir Way, Winterfield Golf Club, Foxlake, East Links Family Park and the John Muir Alpacas.

NOTE: In summer the pub may also open Tuesdays and at midday on Monday and Wednesday.
