About Mason's Restaurant
Mason's Restaurant is a modern British restaurant in Brentwood, at 155-157 Ingrave Rd, family-run for 25 years. A live pianist plays in the dining room, and the interior has been recently refurbished. The menu includes pigeon and pork belly, with nut roast and veggie risotto as the vegetarian dishes. Sides are large, meant for sharing, and ordered separately from the mains. Sunday lunch comes with Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. A private dining room at the back takes group bookings and can be shared with another group, and the restaurant hosts birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas dinner. It opens Wednesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to Mason's for special occasions, and the food is what they praise most, with the pigeon and pork belly singled out at one birthday meal and the Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes called the best one diner has had in a restaurant. Close behind come the staff, described as friendly, professional and never rushing, and the live pianist, who several say set a great atmosphere in the newly renovated room. One vegetarian diner rated the nut roast the best they had eaten, though found the field mushroom topping on the risotto too salty with a strong blue cheese flavour. The recurring caveat is cost: a few call it not cheap, and one found the sides expensive and not included with the mains, while another says the sides are huge and suggests sharing them. One reviewer found the room quiet and another wished for background music. The private dining room hosted a wedding celebration for 20 guests who chose from the main menu, and a large family birthday group in the back room said everything arrived hot and in good time.

“What a lovely find great food fab services could’ve done with some background music maybe but brilliant 🤩”

“We had an absolutely exceptional time here. We hired the private dining room for our wedding celebration and it honestly could not have gone better. Jay and his team were patient, present and provided absolutely flawless service (which is no easy task with 20 noisy guests to feed and water!) The food and drink was wonderful and we were able to allow guests to choose from the main menu. It was such a nerve-wracking thing choosing a venue for an important day and we can't thank Mason's enough. Highly recommended and we'll be back for sure. Many thanks!”

“We visited for a friends birthday lunch on a Sunday. We don't live local so it's been a few years since the last visit. Friendly and competent staff and excellent food and drink. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were the best I have ever had in a restaurant. It got busier in the restaurant and car park as we left.”

“Went to Masons for our one year together anniversary. Absolutely stunning food, all staff and waitresses were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the atmosphere was beautiful, made more special with the piano man who was also great. Would highly recommend Masons, you won’t be disappointed. We will be going back for sure. Thank you all for making our anniversary special ❤️”

“Had a celebration meal here for our 25th wedding anniversary and, as usual, it was excellent. It isn't cheap but is still good value as the setting and the food are superb. The staff are great and you never feel rushed. I couldn't recommend it enough for a special occasion.”
