A lucky pubgoer has recorded footage of the 'best pub in the world for one weekend a year' - and it's not far from Swindon.

The Royal International Air Tattoo is the world's largest military air show, held annually in July.

The show typically attracts a total of 150,000 to 200,000 spectators over the weekend, but for some locals, there's seldom a need for a ticket.

The user JS posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: "For one weekend a year this is the best pub in the world."

But what type of planes were they?

Later, he responded to someone who suggested that the video "makes me want to vacation in the UK", JS said: "The first clip is your air force's CF-18".

And more importantly, where was the pub?

Well, after some digging, it seems that the pub was the Masons Arms, in Cirencester, just 12 miles from Swindon.

The Masons Arms

Their website says: "There is always a very warm welcome from hosts Greg and Vicki when visiting the Masons Arms. A family and dog-friendly establishment means their pub is a regular favourite for friends and families joining together throughout the year.

"Greg and Vicki have been running Arkell’s establishments for the last nine years. Greg however, has over 16 years’ experience in the trade and is also the head chef, delivering his passion of great food and refreshments to their customers, whilst Vicki provides excellent customer service front of house.

"They became new tenants to the Masons Arms in August 2020 and are enjoying putting their very personal touch on this established country pub."
