Doncaster pub reopens its doors after major refurbishment

The House Martin is now open, boasting an investment of over £312,500, which has transformed the well-loved community pub to feature a host of exciting upgrades.

Introducing its innovative “Two Door Pub” concept, the House Martin now offers a sports bar area with Sky & TNT sports and a separate family lounge, creating two distinct spaces: a lively bar for the locals and a cosy, family-friendly lounge. Designed to cater to all occasions, the pub brings the community together, offering guests the flexibility to enjoy their ideal experience without compromise.

The community hero chosen to pull the first pint to mark the House Martin’s opening was war hero and pub regular, Ben Parkinson. In addition to being a former British paratrooper, Ben has played a significant role in raising money for veterans' charities, a cause which the pub will continue to support in the future.

The newly updated bar area features large HD screens to keep guests entertained with all the latest sports action. The space also includes a dedicated darts area and pool table, so guests can challenge friends, enjoy some friendly competition, and soak up the lively atmosphere.

The House Martin is a dog-friendly locals' pub with a community feel. Locals can now drop by for a pint and a bite to eat, celebrating unmissable moments in the heart of the community. The pub continues to serve its popular pub favourites, such as The Ultimate Southern Fried Chicken Burger. 

Now open, the pub will host a variety of events. Guests can keep an eye out for upcoming events via the pub’s website.

General Manager, Tim Smith, said: “We’re so excited to be back open and show off the fantastic new look. We’ve worked hard to make The House Martin a space for everyone - whether you're catching the game with friends, enjoying a family lunch, or just popping in for a pint. The new Sky Sports package, refreshed interiors, and outdoor seating make it a perfect spot year-round.”

With over 1,300 pubs and bars across England, Scotland, and Wales, Marston’s locations range from traditional local and family-friendly pubs to venues designed for a warm, timeless country pub atmosphere, offering shared good times for everyone.

The House Martin reopened on 1st April.
