The Otter pub in Newport has reopened with a new look following a £115,000 investment.
The pub’s refresh has seen the introduction of new wallpaper, stylish lighting, updated seating, and uplifting colour palettes. With an updated bar area and investment in team training, the pub has now officially reopened with a fresh new look.
Jayne Jeremiah, Midwifery Care Assistant at Llanfrechfa Grange Hospital and well loved local, who has organised events, food banks and Glostonselfy festival to raise money for Wellies Farm Charity, was chosen as the pub’s community hero to pour the first pint in celebration of the pub’s reopening.
Situated on the edge of Newport town centre, the Otter has a family-friendly feel and is suitable for dogs. It also boasts an outdoor patio area and beer garden.
The Otter offers a varied menu of pub favourites such as Steak and Ale Pie served with chips, garden peas and gravy and new additions such as Loaded Fries with spicy pulled pork, nacho cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, crispy onions and chopped chives and classic lagers on draught, cask ales and a variety of cocktails and G&Ts. The pub also offers a traditional Sunday Roast each week, all served with fluffy mashed potato, roast potatoes, seasonal veggies, home-made Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy.
Guests can also enjoy a new mid-week offer of a main meal and a drink from £10.75. The dishes vary daily with a burger and a drink available on a Tuesday, curry and a drink on a Wednesday and steak and a drink for £11.95 on a Thursday.
With over 1,600 pubs and bars across England, Scotland and Wales, Marston’s sites range from their traditional local pubs and family-friendly pubs to sites with a focus on a ‘warm, timeless country pub atmosphere’.
Cae Wood, General Manager of the Otter, said, “We are so excited to open the doors of the Otter and to show our guests the final results of our refresh. We have invested over £115k into breathing new life into venue. We can’t wait to welcome everybody back!”
