A 2 minute walk away out of the town centre from The Seven Stars, on which I have just posted, is The Masons Arms, a smallish reasonably traditional inviting looking St Austells pub which advertises itself as an "Ale and Cider House". The interior is comfortable and carpeted and traditionally furnished with horse brasses on the dark beams creating something of a country pub feel to the place. On my recent early Sunday evening visit, somewhat incongruously, and out of character with the pub, a TV screen above a splendid inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, was showing an unadvertised American football game. The volume was loud and this dominated the pub, but none of the other half dozen or so customers were showing any real interest in the game. Beers on from the St Austell range were Tinners, Tribute and Proper Job. The latter - £ 3.05p - was in good nick. Any pub that is showing an American football game with the sound on at a loudish volume in a smallish pub like this, despite obvious customer indifference, is not going to get a glowing endorsement from yours truly.
