Tucked away in Headington Quarry, the Masons Arms at 2 Quarry School Place is a family-run free house that has been serving the community for nearly 30 years. This traditional pub, a multiple winner of Oxford CAMRA's Pub of the Year, prides itself on an "ever changing" selection of guest beers from across the country, alongside their own Old Bog beers and a variety of Belgian and craft options. It’s a true local’s pub, complete with darts, crib, aunt sally, and bar billiards teams, offering a warm, "home from home" atmosphere that has resisted modern makeovers. While no food is served beyond bar snacks, the focus here is squarely on a great pint and a friendly welcome.
Visitors will find a large garden with a heated decking area, making it a pleasant spot year-round, and for those looking for entertainment, Sky Sports is shown on three screens. The pub also hosts regular events such as a famous Saturday quiz night, a meat raffle, an annual beer festival in early September, and occasional comedy nights and Morris dancing performances. With 19 outdoor tables, many under cover, it’s a popular spot, especially on weekends, so booking for Friday and Saturday is recommended. The Masons Arms is also dog-friendly and offers free WiFi.
