Had a great time, food was amazing, atmosphere was great to, it was very mellow and easy to talk. Had a wonderful time. Food and drinks were also amazing. Will absolutely be going again. Staff are amazing too!
Lovely place to relax, food was very tasty, plenty to fill you up. Service was brilliant too. Lovely setting by the river with outdoor dining. Worth a visit
The Otter. Had a nice lunch, the food was good, although like most places now, it was a touch pricey. Staff were friendly and plenty of choice for drinks. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable and although it was raining when we went, the outdoor seating had great views overlooking the river. Would recommend
An absolutely faultless, Christmas's Day meal / experience! Often, I've been for Christmas Day meals, only to be left disappointed by the food, service, or friendliness of the staff. This far surpasses anything I've previously experienced! I know it's hard for staff to work on Christmas Day, but these couldn't have done more for us. The team were all extremely friendly, and welcoming. Our server (Ollie) couldn't have done more for us. He was always there for drinks orders, and even made time to chat, despite being very busy. The food was exceptional and very presented. The price, considering it was Christmas Day, was extremely reasonable too. Even the little touches, such as a Christmas card, added to a very pleasant meal. Thank you so much to The Otter, and their excellent team and service.
Visited The Otter with my family and friends. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. There’s plenty of food to enjoy and something for even the pickiest of 10yo’s! The portion size was very generous, after main and pudding we were all full!
11/10. Absolutely amazing food, amazing location and amazing staff. From start to finish we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back for more, even if just for the creme brulé!!! Would highly recommend to everyone and anyone!!
So happy we eventually decided to stop here, after driving past so often. What a lovely warm inviting place & one we’d definitely return to. The views of the canal are stunning & we enjoyed our meal thank you
Tried The Otter for the first time on Sunday, unfortunately it'll be the last. The only problem was the food, I had to send the roasties back as neither of us could actually cut into them, they were hard as stones. The replacements weren't any better either, they didn't look like they'd been roasted, looked more like boiled potatoes. But the worst part of it all was the strong taste of grease. Not sure what tasted of it, but it left a disgusting after taste. The meat was delicious, cooked well and very tasty.
Excellent venue, book ahead for food, though staff are friendly and will help you out should you turn up out of the blue. Beth and the team offer a welcoming environment. New staff members Harry served me at the bar, helpful knowledgeable and friendly. The menu is traditional pub / homemade meals such as Hunter's chicken, Roast beef, fish and chips and Venison, thought I'd assume this is seasonal. As much as I'd like to try every meal the venue offers, this is my first visit. There is a nice outdoor canalside terrace and upper balcony areas for Alfresco dining, a central hath log fireplace within the main dining area creating a warm comfortable space to relax and enjoy the ambiance. The building is due for a slight refit in the coming months, moving the toilets upstairs and further renovating the kitchen space. Hoping to be back up this way again soon :-) @t2kso
