The new owners have really brightened things up. It&#39;s spotless, and there&#39;s this warm, inviting feeling the moment you walk in. A proper refresh.

Booked the pub for a birthday with a South African theme. The boerewors and bobotie were spot on. Great spot for a casual pint afterwards too.

The Guinness is poured properly, a good creamy head. Sat outside with a pint, it was just right. The taste is spot on, not too bitter.

The seating area is so relaxing. Comfy chairs, soft lighting, the whole vibe is just right. I only popped in for a quick drink, but I could have stayed for hours. Staff were friendly too.

The Batemans ales on tap are a proper treat. They always seem to pour a perfect pint here. The gin selection looks impressive too, though I haven&#39;t tried it yet. Just a really solid, cosy spot for a drink.

Came for the carvery, which was decent. But honestly, the portion for the price felt a bit off. My plate wasn&#39;t exactly heaping. Friendly staff and the drinks are good, just wish there was a bit more on the plate.

The coffee refills are a nice touch for the price. I appreciated that the coffee itself tasted fresh, not burnt or bitter like some places. The pub space is large and clean, which is a plus.

We booked a table of 3 adults and a large labradoodle. They made a big fuss of the dog, which he loved, and made us very welcome. The food was great with a huge choice.

Such a friendly pub, and I love how inclusive it feels. Everyone just seems comfortable here.

The Sunday roast was spot on. The Yorkshire puddings were homemade and the meat was cooked just right.

The Otter offers beautifully cooked food with strong and flavoursome ingredients, making it a delightful dining experience.

The Trent Lock Inn offers a fantastic dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service from Yuliia was exceptional, making our visit truly enjoyable.

First time here, just tried the seabass curry. The fish was flaky and the sauce had a nice kick to it. Malabar chicken curry was good too, the meat fell apart. Might go back to try the lamb next.

Popped in for a late lunch. The steak and ale pie was solid, proper comfort food. Good portion for the price. Stuck around for a sticky toffee pudding, which hit the spot.

Christmas set menu was good value. Tobi was efficient and pleasant. Starters were generous portions, the turkey main was hearty and well-cooked. A solid option for a business lunch in the area.

Really appreciate how fresh the ingredients are here. Had the grilled salmon salad for lunch, and the greens were crisp, the fish perfectly cooked. It&rsquo;s nice to find a spot that focuses on quality produce. The portion felt just right for a light meal.

A decent Wetherspoon&#39;s with a proper pub feel. I like the booths and the fireplace. Food is straightforward but arrives hot, service is friendly. It does get very busy on match days though, so timing is key if you want a booth.

First time here. The space is really nice, open and airy. Food came out quick and was tasty for the price. Service was good too.

Decent selection of cask ales, had a couple of the local ones. The old pub vibe is nice, music wasn&#39;t too loud for a change. Solid spot.

The ice cream is lovely, and I really liked that they use a paper to handle the cone. It&#39;s a nice, hygienic touch.

Generous portions and really reasonable prices. The food is fresh and made in-house, which is nice.

A handy spot for a bite before a show at Rock City. The staff were really friendly and got us sorted quickly, which was just what we needed. Food was fine, nothing fancy, but it did the job. The booths are comfy, a nice place to sit for a bit without feeling rushed.

Been coming here for years. Corben and Ola are always so on it, really polite and helpful. That kind of consistent service is what keeps me coming back.

They took my allergy seriously, made my dish separately in the kitchen. Felt safe eating here, which isn&#39;t always the case. The staff were really good about it.

Carter was so helpful with the wine list! He suggested a great bottle that went perfectly with our meal. Really made the evening feel relaxed and fun for our little group.

Came by on a Friday night. The indoor space is really well done&mdash;warm lighting, comfortable chairs, and it just feels relaxed. Sat by the window and had a good view of the street. The outdoor bit looked nice too, but we stayed in.

Good range of Batemans and other ales on tap. Pints are well-kept, served at the right temperature. A solid choice for a post-work pint.

The steak and cheese sandwich was the star for me. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the chips were fresh and crispy. Washed it down with their colada spritz, which was a lovely, refreshing touch. A solid spot for a casual bite!
