Quality okay if not sparkling.

I have lived in Louth for a year, and I rate this as my top pub out of 20+ pubs and bars in the immediate area. It's a Free House in the centre of this Market Town, run by a friendly couple, who obviously know exactly what they're doing, assisted by their well-trained Staff. They cater for the full range of age groups and outlooks, and manage to make all feel welcome and even involved in the life of the place. The atmosphere is relaxed, but it's clear to everyone that the Licensees are very much in charge, and that their high standards of courtesy and behaviour will be adhered to - which I feel is important, as few people wish to go back to a pub where loud swearing or obviously drunken behaviour are tolerated.
Prices are most reasonable for all drinks, including the wide range of excellently kept Real Ales. There are always Guest Beers on offer. Food is served in the spacious Lounge Bar, and in the large Restaurant. With the food, as with the drink, prices are excellent, and so is the quality and attentive service. Food is always served piping hot, with nice cutlery and all the little extras one is often left searching for in vain, such as Horseradish Sauce and English Mustard.
The roomy premises, which are kept clean throughout, were once a Coaching Inn. Patrons with children or dogs are both made welcome in certain rooms, which ensures all tastes are catered for. The premises are of interest for the range of old photos of Louth, and historical maps that are on display.
The Mason's is extensively used by Market Stall Holders and customers, on the 3 days a week when the Market is held in the Cornmarket area, in which the pub stands. Reasonably priced accommodation is available, though I cannot say I have stayed as a guest.
Finally, I should add that The Mason's was the proud winner of a Louth Area Real Ale Pub Award, against some very stiff competition indeed.

Was up visiting friends and popped in here for a couple of pints...very friendly staff, clean tables and was surprised how cheap the round of 8 drinks was compared to London...could be worth moving up here just for the beer money I would save.

A nice pub in a small town that has probably twenty-five or more pubs, bars and clubs. The accomodation is pretty fair too. It did have a different ownership for a while. In that short time things were sometimes a little less than great. By my last visit in March 2005 it was back to its old standards of good food and good ale. The people seemed happy in their work which always helps.

This is a gem of a pub that serve a tip-top selction of cask ales in tip-top condition.
You can eat good quality food and even stay the night in the reasonably-priced rooms
