Christmas Magic at The Masons Arms ✨🎄

Why visit Santa just anywhere when you can meet him inside a beautiful old coaching inn built in 1682?

This Christmas, step inside The Masons Arms, Ackworth, get cosy beside our roaring open fires and enjoy a little bit of old-fashioned Christmas magic in a pub that has been welcoming people through its doors for more than 340 years.

Imagine the children coming in from the cold, the fires blazing, Christmas music playing and the excitement of knowing Santa is waiting inside! 🎅

Join us on Saturday 5th & Saturday 12th December for:

Breakfast with Santa — 9am
Lunch with Santa — 12pm

Children £14.99 including their meal, drink, a visit with Santa, Christmas gift, festive activities and a photo opportunity.

Grown-ups don’t need to buy a package — simply choose whatever you fancy from our normal breakfast or lunch menu.

We want this to feel cosy, traditional and magical rather than a big commercial Christmas event — just families making lovely memories together in our little piece of Ackworth history.

❤️ A LITTLE THANK YOU FROM US ALL AT THE MASONS ARMS ❤️

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me just how lucky we are to have such a wonderful team and amazing customers.

Unfortunately, our Head Chef had to leave unexpectedly due to a family emergency. I won’t go into details, but one thing I have always believed is that family comes first, always. Work will still be there tomorrow, but when your family needs you, that’s where you should be. ❤️

As you can imagine, this left us a little stretched in the kitchen, and some of our lovely customers experienced longer waiting times than usual.

For that, I sincerely apologise, but I also want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone for being so patient, kind and understanding. It really does mean so much.

And a special mention to our amazing team, who really did pull together when we needed them most. ❤️

👩‍🍳 Amber and Ruben in the kitchen – you two were absolutely fantastic! You stepped up, worked your socks off and kept everything going under pressure. I couldn’t be prouder of you both.

🍻 Cory, Heidi, Lydia, Jack and Alana – front of house and behind the bar, you all did an incredible job keeping everything running, looking after our customers and supporting each other. You’re all stars! ⭐

It’s days like yesterday that remind me what a brilliant little team we have. Everyone just mucked in, got on with it and helped wherever they were needed.

And then, to finish the day, we had the lovely Nathan singing live, with everyone joining in, singing along and enjoying themselves.

Looking around the pub, seeing everyone together, laughing, singing and having a good time, I thought to myself…

THIS is why I love this pub so much. ❤️

The Masons Arms isn’t just about serving food and pulling pints. It’s about people, friendships, looking out for one another and that wonderful community spirit that you just can’t buy.

We’re not perfect, we’ll have our challenging days, and sometimes things don’t quite go to plan. But one thing I do know is that we have a team who genuinely care and customers who feel more like extended family.

And as for me and Neil… well, by the end of the day, us two old farts could barely walk!Backs aching, feet killing us, and wondering if we’re getting a bit too old for all this! But we survived to tell the tale! 😂❤️

At the end of the day, we’re not just a pub. We’re one big family. ❤️

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

❤️ The Masons Arms, Ackworth
An old coaching inn since 1682, with community at its heart. 🍻
