The Martins Arms, located in a Grade II listed building in the scenic village of Colston Bassett in Nottinghamshire, still retains the rustic charm of a traditional English inn, and is an ideal retreat for those who want to escape the bustle of city life. This Michelin Guide-listed venue is also popular for business meetings and family celebrations, and diners can enjoy a relaxed modern British meal at the elegantly furnished restaurant, or a drink at the bar.

You could begin with a crab and edamame cocktail, tempura scallops with cockles and pancetta salad, or rabbit and black pudding terrine with sourdough and Martins Arms chutney. For main courses fish papillotte is paired with minted anya potatoes and green asparagus, while pork belly arrives with George Stafford black pudding, mix beans, apple and cider jus. The dessert menu includes temptations such as vanilla crème brûlée with hazelnut shortbread or lemon tartlet served with Italian meringue. Alternatively round off a satisfying meal with a selection of English cheeses served with biscuits and homemade chutney.

The bar menu at Martins Arms offers classic pub dishes like fish and hand cut chips, ploughman's and a selection of sandwiches, alongside wines, champagnes and a range of real ales from local breweries.
