The Martins

We visited The Martins Arms as a family of three — my wife, our young daughter, and I — and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked, with clear attention to quality and presentation. The entire experience felt luxurious yet relaxed, striking a perfect balance. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel truly cared for, especially towards our daughter. The location is beautiful and peaceful, set in a charming village surrounded by stunning, unspoiled nature. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous: the interior is warm, cosy, and tastefully decorated, and the outdoor area allows you to enjoy fresh air and picturesque countryside views. A perfect spot for families who appreciate luxury dining combined with friendly service and a relaxed, natural setting. Highly recommended — we will definitely return!

Sunday dinner with the family - 2 adults, toddler in high chair and baby in the pram - amazing venue, the garden is perfect for outdoor eating and plenty of space. Large kids play area that has a really nice selection of garden games, sandpit, teepee tents with bean bags in. Food was spectacular - best roast I’ve had in years. More expensive than the average roast dinner, but worth every penny. We had the lamb roast (and one in toddler size) plus cauliflower steak. Had sides of mash and cauliflower cheese, both superb. Eton mess and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - terrific. Will definitely be back!

Visited for lunch around 1pm today. What a treat this place is! Very welcoming staff, fantastic garden area with new, large patio area which is being developed, due to be finished in the next few weeks. Really lovely rural setting. We both had the minted lamb pie from the Bank Holiday menu at £16. Absolutely delicious & really well presented. Excellent value for money. Will definitely go back as soon as we can.

Not a great first experience. Food was very expensive. Food/ service did not reflect the overall cost of everything. Children's portions where very small. Under cooked vegetables. We where given spoons for a cheese board. Desert order was forgotten. The Children did like playing in rhe tents although mid summer the area was looking very tired. Clearly the owners have tried to put some thought into the pub and make it a place for families. But more work needed. Gents toilets disgusting.

I visited today for Father's Day lunch with my dad, husband and daughter. We have recently lost my mum and the Martin's Arms is a place we shared many happy family memories when I was growing up. This was our first visit in decades and it more than exceeded my expectations. Sunday lunch was cooked to perfection - my scallops and lamb were of the highest quality. The waiter was attentive and the atmosphere was spot on. After food we relaxed in the beautiful pub garden, my daughter playing among the hay bales. We shall treasure this day for years to come and certainly won't leave it so long to return next time.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - superb service and delicious food. Our second visit here following the change of ownersh and it was outstanding once again. A gorgeous pub and lovely location. Our group of 10 was well looked after by attentive and friendly waiting staff - nothing was too much trouble. Can’t wait for some warmer weather and able enjoy a drink outside in the new garden area. A hidden gem and well worth a visit - thank you to all the staff - wishing you every success!

We had our wedding lunch at The Martin’s Arms and it was perfect from start to finish. The food was exceptional – beautifully cooked and full of flavour – and the whole setting made the day feel really special without being overly formal. A huge thank you to Lawrence and Jordan, who looked after us so well. They were kind, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for better.

We visited the Martins Arms as a group of four, and I have to say we had an absolutely fantastic time! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautifully the pub has been renovated by Laurance - it really has a warm, welcoming charm that instantly makes you feel at home. On a sunny day, the outside terrace and garden area are simply stunning. It’s a gorgeous place to relax, catch up, and enjoy some fantastic food. Speaking of food, the smash burgers we had were incredible – juicy, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. We couldn’t resist dessert, opting for the pistachio chocolate delice and the trio of ice creams, which were delicious and a wonderful way to finish our meal. Although the Martins Arms is a bit out of the way from Nottingham, it’s well worth the drive. The amazing atmosphere, picturesque setting, and brilliant food made it a truly special afternoon. We’re already planning our next visit to experience the restaurant side later this year for some fine dining. Highly recommended – we can’t wait to return!
