About Us
Owner, Matthew Mason, knew he wanted to create a warm, inviting environment for families and friends to enjoy all social occasions, he discovered a building out of use on Ingrave Road, Brentwood, The Fountains Head. This building became his project in October 2000. By April 2001, Masons was established, and guests were being welcomed through the doors. Even now, after 25 years, Masons has become a firm favourite locally and in the surrounding areas for dining and celebrations.
Matthew knows a large part of our success has been due to our Family Ethos, and he strives constantly to invest in people. We pride ourselves in the longevity of our staff, with one member of staff who has been with us since opening night and the majority of key staff having joined us from either school or apprenticeships. Matthew endeavours to improve staff knowledge to ensure an impeccable dining experience.
The kitchens are overseen on a daily basis by Matthew, along with Adam and the team. Matthew works tirelessly to ensure we support local farmers and suppliers to make certain we are serving the finest quality in seasonal produce. Along with our state-of-the-art kitchens and exquisite dining room we can ensure our guests will receive dishes of the highest standard.
