Had a sea bass tonight, (one of my regular dishes here due to food intolerances). Andy the chef took the time to add a vegan sauce for me which hadn’t ever been done before which made it delicious! Thank you Andy. Loving the new chef!

We must have arrived at a bad time. We came for breakfast, five of us. The English breakfast was lovely. I had the smashed Advocado. It was sliced avocado and going brown. Rather tasteless. Poached eggs were all over Cooked, not runny. Hot chocolate was warm not hot. Sorry to complain but the price does not justify the quality

Lovely venue with excellent food. Service was very friendly and also quick. I was very pleased with the variety of the Sunday menu and enjoyed the halloumi skewer with chips and slaw- the skewer was lovely and the chips were excellently crispy. And the desserts were also great- the chocolate orange dome was unique and very delicious. Thanks to Cat for the lovely service!

The Otter, part of the Vintage Inns family, is a fairly average pub located just outside Kegworth. It’s easy to get to, although the car park can be tight and finding a space during peak times can be tricky. I visited at Christmas for their festive Sunday lunch, which was fantastic. However, a more recent visit for Sunday lunch was disappointing. The inconsistency is puzzling, with issues like raw vegetables or overcooked potatoes with hard shells detracting from the experience. When they get it right, the meal can be great. But if they don’t, you might find yourself wondering if it was worth the trip.

Lovely welcoming staff and atmosphere. Very clean loos with Scottish Fine Soap toiletries. The menu was extensive, with lots of variety. When the food arrived the portions were good. My only criticism is that my meal (the sea bass) wasn't hot enough. I would suggest you remove one of the small tables by the window as we were really cramped and close to other diners - my 6'4" partner really wasn't very comfortable.

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.

The food is always spectacular here! On this occasion I had the buttermilk chicken burger and my dad had the fishcakes with new potatoes and broccoli. We both really enjoyed our meals - absolutely beautiful! The service was brilliant - Sally was really attentive, communicated well with us when taking our order and bringing over our drinks/ food. But most importantly she made us feel very welcome during our visit. So thank you very much Sally! The atmosphere was lovely, I must note that the fire wasn’t on this time but it was still cosy inside the pub. The decor has changed since I last visited and it looks brill, very modern looking and welcoming. Thanks so much! We will be back again :)

Not the best roast for a vintage Inn. The restaurant was freezing which wasn’t the best start. The squid starter was lovely but the roast was a bit of a let down. The meal was barely warm served on cold plates. Roast potatoes weren’t crunchy and the beef was well done boarding over cooked. Presentation was ok but a luke warm roast in a cold restaurant is not ideal.

Lovely River side gastro pub near Kegworth. It came recommended by a friend. The lovely internal decor and Log fire makes it a good destination for a lunchtime trip in the winter. With its riverside tables it must be a great place to visit in the summer. two real ales- Doom bar and Timothy Taylor's plus good tasting alcohol free bottled stuff. Sally our waitress was very friendly helpful and entertaining- great service. I would be interested if it would be suitable as a destination for a country walk. Sadly the Soar Navigation tow path is in the opposite bank.

Service and atmosphere were exemplary. The food looked fancy but was really lacking in some areas. Garlic mushrooms on top of a nice piece of bread made it soggy and gross. Very easy fix. The feta salad had only two bits of feta that weren't much bigger than a grain of rice, for the price this is a real con. The halloumi skewer was very good, however. The others I was with were much more disappointed in their mains than I. I guess it was just a busy service so corners were cut on the food and at the pass, but the price stayed the same. If it was quieter I'd probably give a second chance on the food.

Only one real ale available out of 4 hand pulls (bass), which was very disappointing, especially as we took friends along for their first ever visit to the pub. Such a shame as it has the potential to be a really good ‘local’ pub.
