Top class visit to The Otter. Server Mel was absolutely fantastic and recommended some really nice dishes.The pork belly was cooked to perfection, brilliant dish that could not be faulted. I’d have it daily if I could. Coupled with the spot on Mac & cheese side.Management (Ian) was extremely friendly and welcoming and got us seated immediately upon arrival. Top bloke who made the experience second to none.Mel’s knowledge of the menu and ability to present the menu, specials etc was fantastic. She is a credit to the business. This stood the restaurant out from that of any other I have visited. It made it feel like a fine dining experience. Staff were excellent.Taking all into account, this was an excellent meal out and I’ll be returning as soon as I possibly can.Thanks again Otter team!Jake

Had an absolutely brilliant meal at The Otter. We arrived in a 66ft narrow boat and managed to moor it right outside. The service was excellent from the start, we were made to feel very welcome by the manager (I didn’t get her name) and our server Sally was phenomenal. Had great fun and the food was exceptional. We had the pork belly, halloumi skewered, special beef burger and fish and chips. Good sized portions all round.

Really nice lunchtime spot overlooking the river. Had the brisket in sourdough with sweet potato fries in an effort to keep the calories down. Great service and got very busy shortly after we sat down. Pruced very reasonably. Will be back.

Would highly recommend The Otter. It's in a beautiful setting by the water, very relaxing watching the birds. It's in the flight path from East Midlands Airport so if you like to see planes as we do, a bonus!It's also dog friendly with treats and water, so we were able to bring our pooch instead of leaving her at home.The food was excellent, the best pork belly I've ever tasted. My son had a pizza, also excellent.I'd say it's a little pricey but well worth it and we will definitely be going back again.

Have visited this restaurant multiple times over the past year and it never fails to disappoint. Always something new to try each visit as well due to an extensive menu!

I was very impressed. Travelling in two narrowboats we managed only just to get tethered to a rather gamel sort of pontoon that if it were better could attract far more passing water traffic. Anyway, the place itself is very nice, and was very busy at the time we visited (Sunday lunch). The food was excellent, not overcooked, well presented, however it could have been a few degrees hotter (comment not complaint!). The portion size for the very reasonable price was very good. Service was atentative yet very relaxed and friendly. Definitely a must stop and dine there (if they can do something about the moorings?)

Surprised, I haven't been in for a while, it has been refurbed, limited menu, but food was lovely! Plenty of parking to the front & also a good place to go for a drink.

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!

A top stop between Loughborough and Nottingham. I decided to take the A roads rather than the motorway. I felt peckish, so I turned in to The Otter on a whim. The food is extremely good and well priced. Be sure to try the pie! Fluffy clouds of seed-seasoned pastry, even the carrots were sweet and soft. Beats the pants off the last few places I have been

The Otter has been done up since we last visited. Very tasteful. Great customer service. I had sea bass, and my husband had belly pork, which was cooked to perfection . Slightly high priced but so is everything these days.
