Otters - Cherwell

We had a really super evening here with a couple of visiting friends. Mike, the owner, is the chef and also managed front of house when we were here. The menu was excellent with a good range of choices and suited both the meat eaters and vegetarians in our little party. The portions are extremely generous, the dishes imaginative, fresh and all home made. This restaurant is a delightful gem and Mike was a charming host. Thank you, we look forward to returning.

I have been visiting Otters ever since it opened and should have reviewed it years ago. I have just arrived home from an excellent leisurely Sunday lunch with friends. We all enjoyed our meal enormously, cooked as usual to perfection. Michael is very good at dealing with allergies and food intolerances and all tastes were catered for. The Tarte Tatin was to die for and looked so good that the two friends who ordered it felt they should not spoil the art by eating it!. A small menu but all well chosen choices with something for everybody and very good value. Thank you Michael.

We visited this restaurant on a Thursday for a birthday meal. Food and service were excellent, my daughter is vegetarian and was well catered for, with some great tasting food. Every course was great. Service was great, very friendly. The restaurant is very easy to overlook, it's very understated on the outside. Despite living nearby, we had never visited before, we will be visiting again though!

I revisited Otters after a year and the food and choice of wines remains superb. There is a good choice of starters mains and desserts. Great for a special night out.

Visited The Otters for lunch. Although the set menu is limited the food was excellent and good value for money. The host was attentive but not overly so and the level of service could not be faulted. I will certainly be going again.
