The Masons Arms, Upminster

Having read the comment from the person that works in the local school, i must admit it doesnt sound like the place i have been to a few times in the last few weeks.
I must say that for you to have been denied access i would have thought that you must have seemed like a bit of a mess, i have never seen anyone refused service at the Mason's, and the staff are very friendly and a good mix of both young and older staff.
They always say hello and goodbye to customers, and a very chirpy bunch.
After eating there on several occasions i have only had good to say about the place, but like any other restaurant that uses fresh local ingredients they can have the occasional issue with a dish, but over all i find it very fairly priced for the quality of the food.Have noticed that they have started advertizing a lot more and are doing some music events and quizz nights, and it's nice to see they have cleared up from the crowd that used to come there, now appealing to an older audiance and familes.even doing some pensioner offers and charity events for the guide dogs. Anyone doing that sort of thing is ok in my book, so all i can say is go for it, compared to some of the places in the Upminster area, the Mason's is a nice clean place with a good atmosphere, about time there was a proper place that supported the local comunity and suppliers instead of the big chain pubs that get all the food in bagged and frozen. Good luck to you at the Mason's, you can count on my custom in the future.
