Visited the freemasons yesterday for a meal and an overnight stay with family. We had the 'taste of freemasons' taster menu with the optional wine flight. The food was exceptional, there wasn't a mouthful we didn't enjoy. The accompanying wines were also excellent and well chosen. The staff were attentive & very welcoming throughout our stay. The accommodation was marvellous; spotlessly clean, quirky and very comfortable. The breakfast next morning was excellent too. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

From the warm welcome to the exceptional service and delicious food, everything was spot on. This place delivers simple pub classics cooked to perfection?with a touch of vavavoom that really sets it apart. Every detail felt thoughtful, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet full of charm. We enjoyed it so much that we?ve already booked our next visit. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch! It was so tasty, every part of it seasoned well and full of flavour. The starters and the snacks were also delicious. We will definitely return!

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here yesterday. This is a lovely building in a beautiful village with friendly staff.
Food was very good and well seasoned as well as being beautifully presented.
Lovely toilets. Parking is on the roads around the village but we had no difficulty finding somewhere.

Such a Warm and Wonderful Pub!
What an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived at Freemasons at Wiswell, we felt completely at ease. Andrew welcomed us with such genuine warmth, it honestly felt like visiting an old friend. The whole atmosphere was cosy, relaxed, and full of character.
One of the most special moments was when Andrew remembered I?d mentioned we were celebrating my partner's 50th. Without any prompting, the team surprised us with a beautiful little birthday plate?treats, a candle, the whole works. It was such a thoughtful touch and really meant a lot. Just one of those little things that makes you feel truly looked after.
The service all evening was spot-on, super friendly and professional without ever feeling stuffy. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
And the food... wow. Just incredible. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented, it?s clear there?s a lot of love and talent in that kitchen.
Without a doubt, I?ll be coming back and I can?t wait to bring my family and friends to show off how amazing this place is. We?re so lucky to have such a stunning little pub like this nearby!

Lovely little place and nice food, excellent service, just one niggle and that was the seating bench was slightly higher than our table which made it feel a bit odd.

We used to come here some time ago ut under the previous chef, the quality fell and the prices were sky high.
Now with a new chef and management that's all changed. Andrew the manager is known to me having been at the Waddy Arm's. The welcome was excellent and the service was top notch. However it's the food that shines! Lovely little canopies unexpected arrived. Sausages and delivfish balls, with beef fat brioche, all wonderful. The starters were a delight and I could happily have eaten any of the 4 served. Mains also Great, with a pud or cheese to follow.
Portions were good and the price is too. Also the range of wines was priced to suit every pocket. Before the wines started expensive and rose higher.
Excellent work chef, Andrew and the team, we will be back.

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. We booked an overnight stay with the tasting menu, food was great, staff were great and Andrew, the manager?s hospitality took it to another level. Ive never felt more welcome in a restaurant ever and the anniversary plate and ice left outside our door was a lovely touch?..your staff are a credit to you.
