Vegetarian food doesn’t have to mean boring food, and here at The Mason’s Arms in Gargrave we design our menus to cater for everyone, and we always ensure our vegetarian options are packed full of flavour and aren’t just an afterthought. So, with that in mind, and the fact that this week marks National Vegetarian...

We’re British, so we don’t like to blow our own trumpet too often! But this month we really wanted to shine a light on some of the positive feedback we’ve received, both verbally in the pub, on social media, and on TripAdvisor. Every bit of customer feedback we receive, good or bad, means so much...

Here at The Masons Arms in Gargrave, we’re big fans of keeping it seasonal, and we change our menus seasonally to fully make the most of the abundance of British produce.

We’ve got Halloween out of the way, Black Friday is in full swing, and the Christmas Lights are being switched on in Skipton next week (Sunday 27th November). Also, if you’re in an energetic mood, the now traditional Santa Fun Run is...

So, the nights are drawing in, the heating’s gone back on, and our Head Chef Chris is currently tinkering with his Autumn/Winter menu, a sure sign that the seasons are turning! But before we can start getting excited about Christmas and all the indulgence that comes with it, Turkey, mince pies, Baileys… – sorry my...

Well, what a strange period we find ourselves in, 10 days of mourning. We, like the entire nation, we’re saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II last week, and even at the age of 96, it still came as a shock to us all. The Queen lived a life of...

We’re flying through Summer at a rate of knots, and what a Summer it’s been so far! Two heatwaves and counting, the Commonwealth Games have been and gone, and England’s long wait for European glory was ended by the simply wonderful England Women’s Football Team, at Euro 2022.
