Me and my fellow associates have been on an expedition in search of the most succulent burger around the uk, from london to leicester, birmingham to leeds, and we have come to a conclusion that the otter in Kegworth is the location that sits at the top of our list. We will continue to explore but as of now we are strongly adamant and beyond any doubt that this place will not be overtaken by any competitor. The customer service from our dearest Macy just tops off the whole experience :) Ill see you all next week.

When in for Sunday dinner with our dog on a lead and as we where shown to a table a dog not on a lead ran at my dog and started barking so she barked back.
At this we where then showed to a table at the side of us which had tall stools and a high table.
He told us that was the only one but clearly we where going to a normal table!
We are both not very tall and pensioners so we had no option but to leave as no way could we have sat comfortably and eat a meal.
I wonder where he put the lady behind us with a walking stick!!!!

We had a delicious meal at The Otter for my husbands birthday today 😊
The steak was cooked to perfection 👌
There was a warm, welcome atmosphere in the pub and we were looked after exceptionally well by Macy our friendly waitress.
Would highly recommend a visit

We visited The Otter this morning for a family get together for brunch. We have been here a few times before and before the refurbishment. The refurb is lovely and you cannot fault
It, it’s a shame that the service and portion sizes don’t match. I think we have been spoilt on our last few occasions before the refurb so having smaller portions This time was a bit of a disappointment. We ordered 4 teas, one large pot came for 3 of us with 3 tea bags but not enough water for 3 cups, so we had to wait for more water and then pour weak tea into one cup! This is a really cheap option so this really shouldn’t be an issue. The breakfasts turned up with wrong items on the plates and some without any items on. Very small portion size for the veggie breakfast, consisted of 1 egg, 1 hash brown, a tomato, small portion of beans, a very small portion of mushrooms when asked for it, a small beetroot hash and a small piece of toast. The food size is no where as good as before the refurb. Shame as I love this pub. Cannot comment on evening meals as I have never been at that time Of day.

Came here after a long shift as a nurse at the hospital, exhausted and worked out. As soon as I came in, the lovely waitress Melanie welcomed me and showed us to our table. She gave us her recommendations on which drinks and foods to get, which we listened to. The calamari here was to absolutely die for!! Nothing like it in Leicester or Derby; ill be coming back just for it! Food and drinks were reasonably priced and the atmosphere had warm vibes to it. All in all a 10/10 experience, and I will definitely be back!

July 19th 2021 Covid restrictions were lifted. You should be able to stand at a bar and order a drink. Not at this place, you're guided to a table and told to download the app, order and pay on-line. After mucking about signing up for internet, a very slow internet, downloading the app, signing into apple store for downloading the app, waiting for the menu to open............ we gave up and left. Businesses like this just don't deserve my money.
We've been to other pubs that have been able to take a verbal order, hand over drinks, take cash and have benefitted from our custom. Why this business is still making customers jump through hoops just to get a drink, when they've got a mountain to climb to rebuild profitability, just doesn't make sense. The pub wasn't busy and the staff had the time to deal will us on a face to face basis.But didn't.
