One of the most beautiful pub wedding venues in Nottinghamshire, The Martins Arms’ beautiful spaces could be yours for the big day. Set in the picturesque village of Colston Bassett in the Vale of Belvoir, The Martins Arms is a 17th-century Grade II-listed pub that offers a charming and characterful setting for wedding celebrations. With Laurence Henry and his wife Sera at the helm, this award-winning venue combines refined cooking with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and bespoke wedding packages.
The space lends itself to both indoor and outdoor celebrations. Inside, the pub’s heritage features prominently, including antique furnishings and a carved Jacobean fireplace, which create a cosy and intimate feel that works beautifully for smaller weddings. Outside, the garden is a real highlight. Pretty and well kept, it can accommodate wedding receptions for up to 150 guests, offering plenty of room for drinks, dining and dancing in the open air. During the summer months, it becomes an especially appealing setting for al fresco celebrations, wedding breakfasts, Champagne and canapes, barbecue catering and hog roasts.
The Martins Arms team offers wedding packages and menus that can be tailored to suit the tone of the day and your vision. Couples might opt for relaxed barbecue buffet spreads in the garden or more structured dining inside. Example dishes might include Colston Bassett Stilton soufflé, cured salmon with oscietra caviar, or spring lamb with wild garlic, reflecting the kitchen’s seasonal approach and local sourcing.
A thoughtful drinks offering, including a bespoke house ale and a nicely curated wine list, complements the food and setting. With scope to personalise every element, a memorable backdrop, award-winning food, boutique bedrooms on site, and heartfelt hospitality, The Martins Arms is a beautiful choice for pub weddings with a classy edge.
