A lively pub which serves food throughout the day. The pub was packed when we visited on a Friday night with the majority of the tables taken. We ordered a few tapas like nibbles with our drinks. I ordered the spiced chicken thighs, unfortunately they were a little dry and probably been cooked earlier in the day and then kept warm. My wife had the Truffle Mac and cheese which she enjoyed. Overall a great lively pub with a buzz.

An old fashioned looking pub with a good atmosphere, obviously popular with locals. Staff were wonderful, finding us a table when it was busy and we hadn't booked. Food service was swift despite it being busy. The food was excellent. A good choice of beers too

Sunday roast not good, meat full of sinew, roast potatoes deflated like an old football. very small portion of vegatables.
Gravy ok. price not good, Staff changed both our meals, they just removed sinew from the tuff meat and returned the same meat, not good.
Ive run many bar restaurants, not always making a profit on food but loads on alcohol.
One customers refference to our food being better than the Ritz Hotel.
The Masons Arms Battersea Park rd Sw11.
Measured out food ingrediants by weight, great meat suppliers, customers loved the food, thus stayed longer spending money on drinks.we even had car to take regular customers home, they would spend at todays prices around £120 to £150.
Monday nights the most populars drinks sold at, buy one get one free.
Ps,try to remember regulars by their first names, they love it when they they come in and you remember their names.
Dont forget for some customs your pub is their 2nd home.
I dont know what the food is like 2024 at the Masons arm???>

Came here for a late lunch with my young family and my brother ahead of the fireworks in Battersea park. We ordered about 3pm and we’re informed they were out of roasts (except vegan nut roast) with little in way of alternatives on the menu.
A couple of minutes after ordering 2 burgers and a nut roast I tried to change one of the burgers for my 3 year olds daughter, the manager - Alex- said that should not be a problem. When the food finally came out half an hour later we were handed 2 cold chicken burgers and a pitiful nut roast by one of the bar staff and told the kitchen was closed. I asked the manager what had happened about my daughters order and she said she would do what she could again. Another 20 minutes later I went and found her and she said sorry but nothing could be done but the kitchen was shut. My daughter went without any food, I wouldn’t mind but the manager was clearly lying to me!
I don’t ever leave reviews but was fuming, given there was an event on its not an excuse the kitchen closed so early…and it’s super poor not to be open and honest, we would have eaten somewhere else. The pub food is expensive and even promotes itself with family activities on the walls… but we will not be going back in a hurry!

I wandered in on the off chance for a quick snack. The welcome was warm and friendly. There was an obvious desire to please. My humble sandwich order was treated as if I had ordered the most expensive item on the menu.
Service was quick, consistent with the preparation of my hot sandwich with chips to order.
My questions about the history and decoration of the pub was treated seriously.
I will definitely return

From the moment we walked in the door the staff of The Masons Arms made us feel extremely welcome and everyone made every effort possible to make our experience in the pub perfect. Vanessa was excellent, she provided great service and made recommendations and provided samples of the extensive beers and ales on request. The food arrived promptly and was of a high standard. We highly recommend paying a visit to this perfectly presented historical gem in Battersea. Thank you to everyone for a lovely afternoon. We will definitely be back.

First time I’ve been to this place we came for a quiet drink after a Kung fu lesson not to far away. Friend recommended this place, it’s a beautiful pub, the staff are amazing and friendly working in a pub myself i don’t usually go out to a pub but the best experience. Meg and pelumi instantly welcomed us, smiles and conversation, we had two half pints cider and peroni and was very impressed with the sticky toffee pudding they gave us on the house. I will definitely frequent after Kung fu as it’s very nice atmosphere and relaxed and great staff. So thank you ladies I’ll see you next Tuesday if you’re working

We arrived 2 minutes before the kitchen closed and they were so kind to accommodate us. I had the scotch egg and the gnocchi special, My son had the Vietnamese chicken wings. Everything was good and we enjoyed every last bit. Fun pub atmosphere.

Photo says it all. Feel robbed (yes this is meant to be an adults portion). Would be interested to see what the kids portion looks like… First time and last time.

Well, half of the menu was not available. Ended up ordering spicy cauliflower and chickpea. It was warm. Sent it back. Re appeared hotter but overcooked. Can a chef not cook? For god sake 11£ for a few chick peas and a quarter of a cauliflower. No skill.
I thought the revamp was intended to take the place up market. It seems to have achieved the opposite. Three strikes and you are out

Unwelcoming!
Turned up hoping to grab a few drinks with some friends. Only one man visible on the floor, i appreciate you may of been busy as the place looked fairly full but when asking for a table he asked if we had a reservation. We didn’t, he shouted back ‘ I have no tables, waving his arms ‘ and slowly backed away.
We would of been happy to wait, but his actions instantly put us off. There’s no need to be so rude. Didn’t offer for us to wait or how many within our party.
The outside seating was empty. Unsure if that area was in use or not at that time. Approx 3pm.

Hi there,
I am very sad to read your review. With a lot of the recent changes to the way we have to run our venues it has been a tough time, especially for customers as it's all a bit strange at the minute.
I do apologise if you feel you did not get the welcome we normally give a this is not right. We have worked hard to build following our refurbishment and re opening following the lockdown so please send me an email so I can contact you to explain the situation and see if we can make it better.

We booked this pub last minute as we were taking a trip to Battersea Zoo and park earlier in the day.
Staff were super friendly and service was quick. Roasts were delicious and plentiful.
Will definitely return when we are back in the summer.

Popped in with a friend for a quick drink, late Tuesday evening. The refurbishment is lovely, finished to a high standard. The staff (Pelumi & Meg) were great, very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Thank you both for being so helpful. I recommend the sticky toffee pudding which was delicious!

Lovely food (as always), Nice friendly staff. Beautiful location near Battersea Park. Has survived the pandemic much better than most public houses in the area. Thank you for taking care of me.

Battersea
The Clapham / Battersea neighborhood in London offers a charming blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. Notable for the stunning Battersea Power Station and the verdant Clapham Common, this area is a visual treat for the discerning traveler. The Northcote Road Market is a gourmet's delight, offering a cornucopia of fresh produce and artisanal foodstuffs. Excellent public transport links, including the London Overground and various bus routes, ensure easy accessibility to the rest of the city. For those who prefer a quieter, slower pace, a leisurely stroll along the River Thames provides a refreshing escape from the urban hustle.
