Brilliant food and service in the Otley. Booked for a works meal, the service was very prompt on a busy Friday evening. The food arrived quick and was lovely. Great vegetarian and vegan options too with monthly menu changes. Definitely going back to try the Sunday Lunch!

Lovely pub and great service. Foods always lovely when I order too although it is a little expensive for food and drinks, especially when you consider it's close to the university. But glasses are always clean, service is great and theres a good atmosphere. Never known it to get rowdy here and always plenty of toilet roll!

I was disappointed with my Sunday lunch. Beef was tough. Meal was plated. I like to help myself. Only 2 half pots. U have to pay for more. A massive Yorkshire pudding which made the meal look huge. Had to pay for parsnips etc. Gravy was lovely. Won't be going there again. Staff were lovely. Expensive for what it was.

The Otley hosted us for our engagement party where we took over the outdoor beer garden areas. Quite simply, it was great! The beer garden area has been renovated to a great standard (you won’t find many better RCT), Andy in the kitchen worked with us to create the perfect food options for the event… that also tasted great! Lastly, Matt, Gabby and staff were all friendly, attentive and helped make the event special for us and our guests. A big thank you to everyone involved!

If I'm really honest we were disappointed in our meal. We came via a recommendation. It was a late ( ish) Sunday lunchtime booking so maybe that was the reason, I'm not sure. The order was at table within minutes of ordering..which concerned me that it was already dished up and under heat lamp... but the heat lamp must not have been on. Gravy on plate ( although tasted gorgeous had congealed slightly, also telling me it had been sat around. The food was nice tasting but such a small amount...I did order small but it was more suitable to a toddler size portion. I mentioned to the young waitress about lack of heat in food to be told they normally get extra hot gravy to pour over food when customers mention this ...... not sure if this is a good practice. Unfortunately, due to above I won't be planning on returning for a while but I might at a later date give it another go !!

Nice Sunday roast, but no room after to carry on having a drink. Back room very noisy when a few people in but overall food good but did think having to pay £3 to add potatoes was a bit mmm...

We really like The Ottley for tasty food and relaxed atmosphere. The only reason for 4* overall is because several options on the Sunday menu were unavailable probably because we were there for a late lunch at the end of the lunch service . So perhaps alternatives could have been offered?...that said, I probably saved myself a few 100 calories because of this. Love that adults can order the small.roast option . (Some.places have an age limit in this rather than an appetite limit!) . And the portion sizes are very generous even for my grown up boys! Price range indicated is for 3 courses. But the roast on it's own is £14-18 for very generous and tasty portion.

This place is a gem and it was worth the drive from Penarth. Can’t wait to come back soon Thanks again and keep up the great work!

A very unsatisfactory experience for our Christmas work do. Extremely overpriced for tiny portions and charcoal pigs in blankets. Nothing special was done to make it Christmassy for the price, not even a Christmas serviette or cracker. When our 2 hour slot was due to finish, we were reminded that we had to leave and there was no room in the bar for us (there was a little space). This put a proper downer on our night as it could have been expressed in a more polite and accommodating way considering we'd just spent £300 for the privilege of eating a subpar meal. The otley has lost our custom and we will not be returning but I have a suspicion that they won't really care about that anyway.

First time trying Sunday lunch. We were seated as soon as we arrived, service was great - someone arrived really quickly to take our order - good arrived within 10 minutes! Huge plate - blumming lovely! We will definitely be back. I feel a bit bad giving a lower mark for the atmosphere - it wasn't really the pubs fault. It was very, very busy - we were seated by 2 big tables - that were very, very loud - and a young boy watching his ipad on full volume whilst his parent stood at the bar - which was all very distracting and quite annoying - but couldn't really be helped - won't stop us going back!

Food is always good in the Otley, very talented chef and the bar staff are super friendly and cool as well. It's a fantastic place to grab food or a drink just a shame it's not closer to my home 😂 Only negative if the toilets, not even that bad but only 1 stall in the gents so prevents it from getting the full 5 stars (It's basically a 5 star but I rate a good bathroom area). Would recommend for Sunday dinner, casual drinks or the Wednesday pub quiz.

Great, very friendly staff 👏 👍 and a nice environment ☺️. My bellypork stirfry was quite nice. Would have been better if it was hot. 🙄 It amazes me that more restaurants/cafes/pubs do not follow many Asian/European places by making a simple table addition to allow customers to personalise their meal to their preferences. 😉 No flavoured sauces/accompaniments were offered. e.g. Garlic, spice, lemon, lime, chillis, etc.. Service was not instant, so there was plenty of time to provide these extras on the table. Pepper/salt was provided when asked. Surely, the aim is for the customer to leave loving the food as they like it. To be fair, no chef can read minds after all.🤣 A few simple, very cheap table additions could probably guarantee that all import 5star 😁👌👏👍and recommendations amongst friends.

I have been meaning to come here for so long and finally got around to do it. After been told I must come as the food is delicious. Well I wasn't disappointed, I had the curry of the day. It was stunning, it came with rice, chips and a poppadom. Thinking it wouldn't be big portions I also had a chicken fillet side, I was completely stuffed from the curry but pushed through and finished the side, I didn't want to waste a morsel. They have a wide selection of beers on tap with their very own brand of ales and beers too. Plus the do cocktail on a Friday and Saturday too. Definitely worth a visit when visiting the Pontypridd and Treforest area.
