Otter in Newport

A good birthday for my mum and the staff where helpful and kind a great place to come to visit with your friends and family .

Great place to spend time with friends and have food, the food quality is great and the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere of the pub is also great.

Me and my partner came for the carvery on the Sunday, the whole thing was perfect. Served by chef Lee and he was super attentive and amazing! Honestly the best I’ve had in Wales so far. All of the staff were lovely and very welcoming and the pub was very clean and tidy. Look forward to coming again.

food was really nice, our waitress alaney was really friendly and accommodating, had a lovely atmosphere will definitely go again.

Went for food with friends, staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were helped by alaney who was polite throughout the entire visit. Extremely welcoming environment and amazing food

I stopped here for lunch with a friend. There was an onsite electric car charger which was ideal to top up the car while we had lunch. The staff were very friendly and polite and the food came out in fairly good time. The pub looked clean and tidy and the meals were reasonably well presented. They also accept blue light card discount so that was even better. If you fancy some lunch I’d recommend you stop here. We ate between 3pm and 4:30pm so not a peak period for a weekday.

Please be warned all, we got fined by Premier Park for parking in Otter car park even when we had a receipt to prove we had a meal there. We phoned Otter to let them of our fine and despite having a receipt and showing proof of our payment via card, this meant nothing, they still fined us saying that we overstayed by 3 mins as we had our evening meal and stayed for just over an hour. Be warned all, don’t go there for a meal, it’s the most expensive meal we had to pay. It was our first and last time. Terrible to do this to an OAP and with mobility issue with a blue badge parked right by the entrance. Otter should be ashamed of using companies such as Premier Park with very bad reviews

Came for a quick meal out with my mother and 2 of her friends, I ordered the Gammon Steak and Buttermilk Chicken Strips and Popcorn Chicken as a side, Chips were amazing, flavourful and oily, Gammon wasn't bad, a bit to salty for my liking but it was at least juicy, lovely eggs, so tender, falling apart, ketchup so nice, smooth, flavourful, even though it was heinz, it was better than the ones I can get at supermarkets, Chicken starter was nice, bbq sauce way to spicy but I enjoyed a very yummy meal at the Otter!!!!, Well Done Team Otter For Turning Yourself Around From Last Time!!!! I'm So Impressed!!!, Last time I left a fairly disappointing review and sadly had to complain, but this time all you get is Praise From Me!!!!!, I will 100% be returning and had an amazing lemonade, but I don't know what happened to the free help yourself water???, Thank You Team Otter For Making My Experience Much Better Than Last Time In October!!! Wow!!!!

First time visit here, decor a bit jaded and staff were OK but not very welcoming Staff member kept calling us young girls - in our 50's and 70's. Ordered via the app but to follow up on drinks. Food was great and good portion sizes.

Came for dinner with my daughter today and we had a fish and mash and a hot dog. Food was cooked by Carys and was brilliant. The fish was huge and moist and the hotdog was delicious! We were served by Katelyn and she was friendly and polite

Lovely since refurbishment. Staff always give a warm welcome and can’t do enough for you. Never had any issues with food

Visited for some refreshments on Saturday 10th February. Asked at the bar for what alcohol beers were on offer and was shown a shelf in a fridge behind the bar where there was a very limited choice. However there was ‘Brew Dog’ which we had...

Just like the Bumblebee, no mega mixed grill and some other items not available. This company needs a menu update based on what they actually have. Its a bit of a mystery why you can have a mixed grill, but not the mega, when the...

Lovely place to visit having a business meeting. Food excellent and service to match. Will be using this venue again going forward.

Nice dinner Our waitress alaney was very helpful and pleasant My son has steak and chips and I had a. Sunday lunch which was lovely

Good meeting place. Parking arrangements are good, despite the challenge of a drive thru fast food restaurant close by! The menu isn't extensive, but there was enough to choose from. Only comment would be to not put barbecue sauce on quite so many dishes!

I visited the pub with a group of friends and when my partner collected me he parked outside for a few moments while I was getting ready to leave and then got a parking ticket for £60 from the company that The Otter employ to...

Yummy and Guinness good, nice car park with which to park a car in. I like when otters hold hands when they sleep.

Being on a diet it's difficult to find a place to eat that will offer you affordable "on plan" options. I've eaten at The Otter before and their carvery has always been my go to. Today though I decided to try their chicken bacon and...

AVOID!!! Table booked for 6:15pm party of 13 (which includes 4 children) they didn't bring out all starters and there was a 40min time difference between the first lot of starters and 2nd lot (we all ordered together - one party) They then totally forgot...

Nahym was anbsoloutely amazing! He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed! He was very kind and helpful and deserves employee of the month! Go nahym!

First time visiting the Otter today and I have to say it did not disappoint! Rhys on the Carvery was so helpful with my allergies and so polite even though there was a huge queue of people, nothing was too much. Will definitely be back....

Don't go here if you are a vegetarian or vegan, there is limited choices on the menu, just the usual unimaginative offerings.

Visited with some friends for food and drinks and had a very pleasant experience. Lovely and clean, food was spot on and service was super quick and friendly. Will be visiting in a few weeks for a celebration event with family and friends and our...

Sunday 4pm no carvery half the menu out of stock Will not return Place was relatively quiet Drinks were rather overpriced

Just been here after a weekend away from my partner and son for some food. Terrible food, server didn’t listen to what I was trying to ask her. Just an absolute awful place to go now. The Bumblebee we never have had a single problem....

We went to the Otter to celebrate a wedding, bit disappointing they couldn't have put a few flowers on the table but overall it was a pleasant few hours. Nice clean pub, staff were friendly, quick service and the food was excellent

Lovely beer garden, and nice big hot food portion. Wish there was more ales, and the staff were friendly

It may be refurbed but it's the same old place. Drinks are expensive and come in dirty glasses. Who checks these??? 2 Stars all the way

I came to the otter yesterday evening for my birthday meal. Starters were lovely, drinks were good main meals were OK deserts were lovely some meals were lovely some were over cooked if I'm honest but I would recommend going staff were lovely and they...

Abandoned pre covid,tried after refurbishment,but were definitely staying away.Artived 5pm,not busy, ordered by 5:15. Starter came,5:35, waited until 6:25 for mains. Did chase before arrival and was informed there was a 30-45 min wait,which we wernt made aware of at time of ordering. Steak was...

Experience wasn’t great. Steak over cooked and the cheesy garlic bread ordered never turned up. Wouldn’t visit again I am afraid.

Absolutely delicious carvery, we even managed to get the kids to eat most of theirs 😂 plus they love the play area, which is super handy... The new decor is so homely yet sophisticated. Couldn't fault the staff, friendly and prompt... Can't wait for the...

Love the new decor and dart board was a great addition. Went with my wife for lunch, had a burger and a beer which was delicious and a game of darts while we waited 5* would recommend

I have eaten at The Otter before, but a while ago, so when I heard they'd had a refurb I decided to check it out. I took my Dad for a carvery, it's his favourite type of Sunday treat. I must admit I was very...

Very good venue, nicely furnished and very welcoming staff. We had 2x Sunday roasts and 2x steaks. Everyone very happy with the quality of the food - steaks cooked perfectly and better than some restaurants I have eaten at that would charge £20 plus. Carvery...

Great Sunday carvery served by Rhys and always with a smile, food was delicious and hot, and melt in your mouth beef
