Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Tame Otter
Vintage Inn close by the River Tame bridge, with the original building on the Hints Road junction (where the main dining areas are) and a modern rear extension (where the bar and general seating can be found). The latter part is quite attractive, with some exposed timbers, brickwork and fireplace, etc. that don't pretend to be old but fit in well. Substantial patio and grass beer garden by the main back entrance and to one side (almost, but disappointingly not quite, reaching the nearby Birmingham & Fazeley Canal). Three handpumps on the counter, dispensing Doom Bar, Purity Mad Goose (£4.65) and Rosie's Pig cider.

Soup Dragon describes the pub well,and I endorse that Vintage Inns have created a pleasing interior here.There is a drinking area to the left of the front door close to the bar and the Everards Tiger was well kept and slipped down.Ped and another real ale also available.Most punters come in for something to eat,and lunchtime attracts office folk from Tamworth including ,on my visit ,two stunning ladies from the local glamour model agency which certainly gave me a lift and increased the rate of Tiger consumption.Far better pub than the Red Lion over the canal.

A large Vintage Inn pub next to the Coventry Canal; wood beam and white rendered exterior, with hanging baskets an, beer garden. The interior, like all Vintage Inns is an open plan nesting of areas, all dining based. There is an attempt to convey some tradition in Vintage Inns; with modernish plain wall and wood panel, stone floor, lots of old pictures and other memorabilia, beams and brick. Music was subdued. The place was friendly, clientele was mixed, with families as well. Beer; tap stuff, with continental lagers. Handpulls included Rev James (nice), Pedigree and Everard's Tiger. As pubcos go Vintage are are about the best, attempting to blend new and old to some degree, unlike soulless places like the Ember Inns. I would come back

Traditonal village pub with lots of beams, brassware and open fires. Large canalside garden and decked area. Wide range of beers and lagers including guest ales. Excellent food in a menu that changes every few months. Food menu available all day with dishes ranging from sandwiches to steaks and on Sunday's traditional roasts. Service is brisk and the staff very friendly and efficent. Large car park but if you prefer not to drive the pub is on the Tamworth - Lichfield bus route and just 4 miles from Tamworth railway station
