A great place to eat. I was there as part of a birthday party. Great food, brilliant atmosphere made special by wonderful staff who couldn't do enough and made a lovely day even more special. Update... This review was written about a year ago. In recent times the excellent owners have since sold the business. The new owners lasted about 4 months before closing the restaurant. I never visited after the previous owners left as it was more a sreak house than a restaurant with a more varied menu and now it is closed.

Three weeks ago a friend and I went to the otter& fish for lunch. I made it very clear that I was coeliac and I chose a gluten free meal, the meal was very nice but 2 hours later I was very very ill, I had been given gluten.I spoke to the owner who after a long conversation offered a free meal , I declined so he offered a refund and said he would email the company he gets his deserts from and let me know the outcome. Since then I have heard nothing nor had a refund. I will not be going there again and anyone with coeliacs I would ask them to think twice .

No fault of the two young staff as there had only been working them one week. We had pre-order our meals 5 days before going , it was a party for steven people . The food was not open to sanded . Chicken was fatty in the green Thai curry , Fish had loads of skin on it ,hardly no fish . some meal order were wrong . some meal didn't even come out . will not be return back.

Consider our meals were pre-ordered took the meal planning five days before the food was not up to standard chicken in Thai curry was fatty. The fish was loads of black skin on it. Meals over price for what you got one member of the family after we’d asked for chicken fajitas came out with vegetable fajitas took them away asked again then came back out with another plate vegetable fajitas eventually got it right third time and got chicken fajitas. before this mistake, we were told kitchen was closed so reopened again for this mistake Forgot two meals had to ask for them two young members of staff in only considering it was a party of 17 N. Alta fairs because they were very apologetic and did the best of the best they could, consider they’d only worked for The otter and Fish for one week Tables weren’t set out very well to the point that one table people could’ve had their back to us so we moved the small table so we could all talk around each other will not be returning

We called in for an evening meal - main course only . Extremely disappointed in the sharing fish platter at nearly £70, we’ve had so much better at a cheaper price, what a dismal array, where’s the crab, scallops, large king prawn, no salad or samphire provided and no slaw only 1 singular small pot of chipped wedges with 4 chips each ? When it arrived our immediate impression was ‘is that it’ ! What we had was tasty - yes but not anywhere near enough for two to dine for the price paid, we left hungry and cheated ! Another of our diners had the pork chop, very dry meal no gravy/jus provided, swapped their new potatoes for chips and was charged an extra £2 for the privilege- that’s greedy as you only provide a small amount in a pot, other establishments aren’t so frugal with their portions. Nice girls waited on us but forgetful service provided, we had to prompt. Clean immaculate premises. We won’t be returning ! In reply to your response- for £70 you should be providing that sort of seafood and sides for that price not scampi and 8 tempura prawns, some mussels, small portion of salmon and sea bass, one bowl of chips to share, I’m quite aware you have to make a profit but that’s extortionate !

We waited 90 minutes for our food and it looked as if my pork chop had been standing under the grill for the entire time. Front of house staff were doing their best but the place was understaffed. One of the worst meals I have ever had in a restaurant. Never again

Very sad after a good previous visit. Party of 8. Wrong items after pre ordering, Parts of meals missing (plated up wrong), advised that items on menu were labeled incorrectly only when we asked for confirmation, which was awful as the birthday girl had chosen pub because of a wrongly listed item Could have been a disaster! Then had sweets served with off cream. One member of party sick when home.

Me and my husband went for lunch on 5th May For our Sunday lunch We haven't been since New owners Very disappointing. Beef was stringy.veg were well undercooked. All I ate was yorkshire pud and roasties. My husband normally eats any meat but was disappointed with the beef as well.lamb was very fatty we had portioned pigs in blankets which looked enimic When they came with the bill the young server asked if everything was okay. We said it was very disappointing .no one came to see us about what we had said Prices have gone up and quality of food has definitely gone down When we emailed the following still waiting a response

Sunday lunch - arrived early and shown to seat promptly. There were 2 types of beef; roast lamb and chicken (think there was also a vegetarian option) for traditional Sunday lunch (also other menu options). Served with vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. We ordered mashed potato as a side. Arrived promptly, with roast pot, parsnip and carrot on plate, swede and broccoli as the side veg and mashed potato as ordered. There were no serving spoons and when we asked for mint sauce, again no spoon to serve, had to request. The lamb was quite thick and I had to ask for a steak knife to cut through it. The mash looked grey and looked and tasted more like reconstituted rather than fresh creamy mash. The staff were polite but lacked basic training, they were not paying enough attention to each table and I had to attract their attention by calling across to them. The desserts were good, particularly the sticky toffee pudding.

Not sure if ownership has changed but we eat here every 2-3 months as we live 25 miles away but our friend lives nearby. Today, we visited and I’ve never seen it so empty but when I looked at the menu I suspected I know why. The prices have rocketed. 8 Oz sirloin £28.50 and it only came with chips and onion rings, our friend had a small piece of sea bass £18.50 with a few potatoes no veg. Desserts £8 each a glass of white wine £8.80. 2 courses for 2 of us, 1 wine 1 soft drink £75.15. Quality was ok but it’s pub food at fine dining prices. Looking for somewhere else for our next visit. Shame it’s been spoiled by greed.

Under new ownership and they’ve changed the menu, possibly now part of a chain. Been to the otter and fish lots of times since moving to the area and have never been disappointed, until now. It’s still a lovely pub and the staff are all still great but the menu left me struggling, gone are the garlic mushroom starter and even the iconic parmo, I ended up with a burger, which was nice enough but nothing I’d rush back to have again. Please new owners, reconsider the menu options, if not the reintroduction of the 2 or 3 course weeknight deal

Lovely place, pleasant staff but sadly that's where it ends.since changed management the menu as changed (and increased in price) and less choice.only two waitresses on which meant a 40 minute wait for drinks n nearly an hour for food.sadly I would not return because of the change in menu choice and lack of staff such a shame as it was a fantastic restaurant before it changed management.need more waitresses and more bar staff as my husband nearly walked out after waiting so long! I really don't like leaving negative feedback but I feel I need to be honest.if u don't mind waiting ages for drinks and food and you don't mind a limited menu then this is the place to go. staff must be a credit to them as they work extremely hard but bring back previous management!

I had high expectations having followed the takeover on the business Facebook page. I booked lunch for my friend and I. I’ve recently had to adapt my diet for health reasons so based on this I chose a vegetable heavy dish with no sauce or deep friend elements. I added chicken. I ordered the roasted butternut squash with goats cheese and cous cous. Adding chicken for £2 for extra protein. What arrived was a plate of buttered baby potatoes, with some cherry tomatoes, about a tablespoon of butternut squash and a large chicken breast on top, no goats cheese at all. I highlighted this to my lovely server, who is always friendly and professional. She brought the information to the chef who simply said “they apologise but the menu changed”. The manager was made aware too. Not an offer of a free drink, a percentage off the bill or an apology for getting a completely wrong dish. So very disappointed as we were excited to have a new lease of life to the pub / restaurant. Not enticed to return.

The good reviews were why we booked. We didn’t realised that they had recently reopened under new management. Upon arrival staff were fairly indifferent to our presence and not particularly welcoming. This didn’t really improve throughout the visit. It felt like they would prefer we weren’t there. Staff weren’t attentive and service was very slow. The food was reasonable but nothing special for the prices they are charging and there were mistakes with our order that we did asked to be rectified as we had already waited a long time for food to come out. One of our party have contacted the pub directly and the manager, who was present on the day, said that the slow service was due to them adapting to a new menu and systems after recently reopening. Had this been communicated on the day, we would have been more understanding but the staff barely spoke to us other than to take our order. The manager also offered to take care of us personally if we were to return. I’m all for second chances but won’t be returning in a hurry.

Visited the new otter and fish with high expectations. Very disappointed prices have gone up and quality down. I had the Thai green curry which was wishy washy and tasteless. It was returned to the kitchen the waitress just said I’ll tell the chef. I was offered an alternative but my friends were already eating so I declined the offer as my friends would have been finished before a replacement would arrive at the table. The manager did. Not come to apologise nor did the chef. So when I returned home I emailed the manager to receive an apology and as a gesture of apology I was offered 20% off 1 main meal when we returned, not even an offer of a complimentary drink. 20% of a main course would probably equate to £4 or £5 definitely no incentive enough for us to return again. We are a group of friends who dined here every 6 weeks or so but not again. Such a shame the new management does not match the last management

We managed to secure a table at the last minute so were thankful. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. The food is good; we had the beef and it was served pink. The mackerel starter was amazing which we shared. The only comment I would make is that the staff take no interest in the customer and it almost seemed a chore to serve us; no eye contact or conversation apart from the usual 'do you want drink/any sauces', etc. We were there for the food and it was great.

Went for Sunday lunch with wife and two kids, the food was tasty but I must say I had my Sunday lunch and was still hungry, the veg was expected to be shared between two and this was also skimped on, I paid an extra £2.50 for lamb which was cooked well but it was only two small slices. At nearly £90 for 2 adults and 2 kids this was definitely not good value for money, because of this reason I won’t be visiting again, such a shame as the place was nicely decorated and the staff where welcoming and friendly

Lunched at the O&F two weeks ago. Apart from the couple seated at the next table, we were the only customers. My friends chose fish & chips from the menu, whilst I had the mild chicken curry, which was virtually tasteless and the portion of rice very stingy. We all had a dessert, mine being the fruit crumble and custard. The waitress was polite and attentive - which I would expect with only 5 customers! The strict closing time of 2 pm is ridiculous in this day and age, and we felt rushed to vacate. Unfortunately, I spent the whole of that evening vomiting, for which I obviously blame the food. I was the only one of our group to eat differently from the others - they were okay but I wasn’t. Had I not had this experience, I would have been loathe to return to the Otter & Fish - it has a boring ambience and lacks warmth and welcome.

We chose the Otter & Fish for a family get together meal over the Christmas period. There were 10 of us and we pre booked from the December menu. The table was well situated and although the dining areas were busy we could all manage to talk to each other. We were all very pleased with our food choices, most of us had 3 courses. The pork fillet was a highlight and plenty of vegetables were included. The speed of service was good and we all had a great evening. Thank you Richard and the team.

We went for restaurant week. I had goats cheese for my starter which was honestly incredible a full slab of cheese, balsamic onions, salad, glaze and toasted bread For main course I had a chicken parmesan. It was nice. The homemade chips were good, the parmesan was nice and very filling. Everything was lovely My pudding was fruits of the forest cheesecake of the day and it was not good at all. The cheese was sour and salty, the fruits were tart too so the whole thing together made my jaw hurt. But the rest of the food was lovely and the staff were Brill.

Lovely place. I visited with 6 others and it was a good experience and very enjoyable evening. The ONLY thing that's not fantastic is parking: we arrived it two cars and neither of us could get in the car park that belongs to the place - we had to park round the corner outside some houses. This wasn't a big deal (the walk was only 1 min) but it's annoying all the same. Their car park is rather oddly laid out, which isn't helping matters, but as I say, there is parking (or places to park anyway) just round the corner, so it's not a massive issue - not for me anyway. The food was very nice indeed. Everyone enjoyed it, and three of the group were French and couldn't speak English, so the fact that they enjoyed their food is actually amazing! Service was fast, polite and very good. The ladies serving us were all very good. It's a small but we'll run place. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a quiet and fun meal with family or friends. If however, you're wanting a loud, lavish, evening of drinking, shouting, singing and being daft, this is NOT the place for you.

Our family had a wonderful 40th birthday celebration meal in warm, cosy and welcoming surroundings. The landlord and landlady are so friendly and accommodating, along with super service from staff. We absolutely recommend the Otter and Fish!

Food and staff are second to non. Practically family now Im in there that much. Unfortunately for me. Fantastic old school cooking as well as healthy and special options. The savouries are famous and so they should be, sometimes get a savoury with my meal. Your not from Darlo unless you’ve had a savoury in your life. The girls/lads all bully me and only reason I keep going back. Ultimate breakfast or the Roast dinner with extra fried roasties are the one. Simon needs to pull his socks up when Im in though. Thats my only fault is our Simon, he knows what I mean! ;-) thanks for always looking after me. Also opens at 8:30 which is good for someone up as early as I am and needs feeding properly!
