The Otter in North West Leicestershire

Stopped on the way to the peaks for lunch. Really nice pub. Great services serving a great menu. Food came quickly and at a good price.

Four of us went to celebrate a birthday. Three meals were excellent, but one was not very nice (unfortunately). Beef rib dish was very fatty and did not come with much potatoe. I was asked at the end of the meal was alright and I said it wasn't. Management agreed to remove the meal from the bill completely. Overall the service and other meals were excellent, but it was just a shame about the beef!

6pm Monday 7.3.22 - First time visiting here after a recommendation from my partner. We'd just been for a bit of a stomp around in Swithland Woods and fancied somewhere for a bite to eat before the drive home.Upon pulling into the carpark, I was immediately impressed by the beautiful exterior of the building as well as its stunning location (right on the riverside).We were welcomed warmly and the lady who sat and served us was absolutely amazing and incredibly friendly (we didn't book and still managed to get a cosy seat right by the fire!).For drinks we both had Aspall on draught. For food, I went for the fish cakes with baby potatoes, asparagus, poached egg and hollandaise sauce whilst my partner went for the seabass with pancetta, creamy mash and green beans. Both were nothing short of incredible - presentation and taste both 10/10! 👌 we didn't think we could handle a big dessert after this but we spotted the mini dessert & hot drink option which was perfect! We both went for this deal with the chocolate brownie and coffees. For a small dessert, it filled any space that was left after dinner! The Ice cream was to die for.I think the bill came to £51 (incredible for 2x pints, 2x main meals, 2x desserts and 2x hot drinks!). Can't wait to return again! Make sure you keep that lady who served us well looked after, she was fantastic!

Olly was absolutely fantastic. We had the best deserts an extra log put on the fire. Just a wonderful stop on our mini road trip but definitely coming back!!

Popped in for a pint. This pub is a lovely country pub with welcoming staff. I will probably eat there at some point in the future as the menu looked delicious and inventive. The decor is great and there's plenty of parking. Wheelchair accessible entrances and well lit

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

Consistently good food and service for the price range. Recommended and been here for many years.

Everything was excellent today. The food was superb, tasty and well presented;. with a good selection on the menu. The service was unobtrusive, patient and efficient. The ambience, decor and spaciousness is ideal for any occasion. Altogether, the Otter is fabulous. Thanks.

It's a lovely cosy little pub next to a canal, we were lucky enough to visit during snow and it was just so beautiful looking out the window, they also had an open fire going it was absolutely lovely. The staff were very friendly as well the only thing I would say is that it is expensive for what you get food wise but the food is good quality

Lovely place! Dogs are welcome in the bar area. All the staff are very friendly and chatty. We only stopped for a drink - only giving 4* because we haven't eaten here yet!Although, it is really busy so it looks and smells like the food is great!
