We made and unplanned stop for food and refreshments here and had an absolutely splendid time. Fabulous service and welcome, first class food and a wonderful selection of drinks are the minimum here, rather than the aim. The building and garden are superb and very comfortable and the car park is quite large. That said, we visited when it was quiet, but listening to our host, they do get extremely busy during their peak business. Such a delightful find and highly recommended.
The food is really good, especially the burger that has a hint of smokiness to the patty. We also had the “deconstructed” banoffee pie. The banana ice cream is a stroke of genius!!!
Lunch.
In the beautiful beer garden.
A little trip out to Colston Bassett Nottinghamshire's most expensive village.
This is a very traditional pub.
The Martin's Arms is a Grade 2 listed building.
It is now in the hands of new owners.
As it was a sunny day, we sat in their beautifully tended garden with our dogs.
We just had a little snack.
Sandwich
Fish Finger, Tartare Sauce, Baby Gem £9.
It was very tasty and filled with fresh fish goujons and served with salad & fries.
Martins Arms Ploughman's Lunch,
Pork Pie, Honey Roast Ham, Pickle, Stilton, Cheddar,Apple, Celery
Grapes, Homemade Bread £16
Delightful and very filling.
Looking at the main menu, we were very tempted but resisted and will definitely return to try some of the dishes next time
In the meantime, if you're in the area and want a relaxed drink or something to eat, stop off here and support the new owners.
Been coming here on and off for 8 years now as I love the old building and decor and the beer garden is a little bit of paradise - but not been for a while….. pleased to report the new owners have got it just right - superb bar food, friendly and efficient service and my favourite Nottingham EPA beer on tap and perfectly served. Will be back to try the restaurant side of things soon.
We have dined here a few times and also have just enjoyed drinks.
A rare find this gorgeous, quintessential village pub offers a fantastic menu with dishes to die for and an atmosphere you simply can’t get enough of.
Step back in time in the restaurant with candle sticks and silverware or the bar with pictures and an atmosphere you’d expect in a beautiful rural village.
New ownership, new friendly vibe, this lovely establishment is starting to live up to its potential. We've had a few very enjoyable visits recently and are looking forward to returning.
Now under new ownership with more reasonable prices and revised opening hours but with the same fabulous food and staff.
Open for drinks 12:00-22:00 weekdays, 12:00-11:00 weekends and 19:00 on Sundays. Food served all day Saturday and until 17:00 on Sundays.
Fish goujon sandwiches in a lovely garden in the sunshine, spot on. Food is beautiful, staff are professional and friendly. A special place to relax.
We had a wonderful lunch in this quiet pub. The atmosphere was excellent, the beer very good and the food, perfect for a January day.
We always enjoy visits to this pub
/restaurant - it’s my favourite and full of history and character. Beautiful garden as well; which is a great place to sit in the warmer weather. The food is lovely with a great selection - their fish & chips are spectacular! Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than some other places but in my opinion it is completely worth it.
A little bit pricey but good beer and atmosphere
A great British pub, with the local Colston Basset cheese featuring on the menu, and good ale behind the bar (Timothy Taylor's Landlord -Aug 2018). Expensive, but great food. Lovely village setting with parking and large beer garfen.
Pretty pub in a quiet village setting. Lovely garden in the summer. Staff shortages are evident in their offhand attitude. Very good menu, but fairly pricey - at least £10 for a sandwich...but thick, nice fillings and served with chips and salad.
Amazing food and atmosphere. We hosted our daughter's Christening party at The Martin's Arms and it was excellent.
Lovely pub, excellent staff and very good food.
