Autumn last I went to the Freemasons Arms for lunch . I had an excellent pasta dish, linguine with seafood and a creamy sauce. It was a lovely time. So for my birthday my partner took me there as he remembered that I liked their food.

When I saw the menu, this dish was no longer available. I spoke to one of the (very busy!) staff and explained I'd been so looking forward to having it again. He said he would see what he could do. About 5 minutes later the chef (Michael) appeared and sat down and asked me what exactly it was I wanted, and he would russle it up for me.

Believe me the pub was absolutely busy. There was a large private party in the back, the restaurant was full, and the bar was buzzing with people having lunch. They still found the time to give individual attention.

The service was impeccable with a lovely friendly girl. The pasta when it came was terrific and just what I wanted, and I had the most fantastic lunch.

These guys took a lot of trouble to look after not only me, but all the people round me who were having a great time. The atmosphere was terrific and all in all it was quite memorable.

Really, really worth a trip to this pub/restaurant, if you want a happy relaxed atmosphere, a great meal and at a very reasonable price. The guys are so nice.
