Tastefully modernised multi-room pub on the outskirts of town just a mile walk north from the centre.

The tap room has a bank of five hand pumps with beers sourced mainly from north west micros but beers from further afield are available from time to time with a preference towards pale beers at the lighter end of the spectrum and below 4.5% ABV. There are normally 4 cask ales and a still cider (Lilley's) available.

There is a small lounge to the right of the entrance with a few seats and a wood burning stove. The large rear bar has an impressive counter made from railway sleepers topped with a lovely oak top. There are two more wood-burners in this room, within large stone hearths.

The floors are mainly flagged and with the light paintwork and lack of clutter, the feel is very modern, while still retaining the traditional multi-room layout.

Home made pizzas are served 5-8pm (Wednesday to Sunday).

The Masons Arms was awarded the Local CAMRA Most Improved Pub of the Year for 2018.
