Red Lion in Winchester

Cane to the red lion with my family for a pre Christmas meal. The food was amazing staff are so friendly and welcoming, lovely warm atmosphere. Welcoming to children..

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch with my parents. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend 😊

I met some old friends for drinks but as the push had such a good vibe we ended up eating there too. Great atmosphere and lovely food.

Meet up with a dear friend. Food and service exceptional. Special mention to Sonia who went that extra mile to make us feel welcome. From Darrin, Samantha and Elaine x

Lovely and spacious not sitting on top of one another. Leisurely lunch. Provided activities for grandson. Food no better than a Wetherspoons therefore overpriced. Staff very polite and accommodating.

This place is under new management and it really shows. The staff were professional and friendly looking after our large group including several with mobility issues. They were efficient and helpful. The food was excellent as was the service and it was agreed that the Red Lion was now on our places to lunch list...and well spread the word

Staff very friendly and obliging, but food below par. We ordered roast beef meals and the roast potatoes were like hard little bullets and impossible to eat. Would return for drinks and general ambience of the pub, but won't eat there again.

What lovely staff in this pub. Matt especially went out of his way to help us secure a table on a busy Friday night as most of them reserved. He went over and beyond for myself and sister. Aiden at the bar was also very friendly. Matt usually works elsewhere but drafted in as manager away. Keep up the good work. Very polite person.

As usual - Very tasty food with excellent and very friendly service, pleasant atmosphere and very reasonably priced - especially wine.

I would definitely highly recommend The Red Lion Stubbington. Since Rich and Sonia have taken over the pub, they have both made the Red Lion a warm welcoming dog friendly pub, they serve beautifully cooked food. Well done to both of you and your staff for making this a popular friendly place once more to go with the family and friends.

Great night but what made our night was jess could not do enough for us. Food was spot on three of us had lamb shank but wife really enjoyed katsu chicken ,but would leave out the hot chillies. Great food Great atmosphere. My only bit is replace the brocoli stalkes with brocoli pieces .stalkes bit hard and chewe. Thank you jess.

Food hot and very tasty, excellent service provided by Chelsea, Heather & Katie - a very enjoyable lunch

Lovely service and food was great , Sonia and Jess made us feel very welcome as always. Go to Red Lion on a regular basis as mother in law loves it there

Food has improved for the better. Rich and Sonia are great hosts who always make you feel welcome. Staff are pleasant and the pub as a whole is significantly cleaner.

Lovely roast dinner, would highly recommend, great price and quick service. Staff are amazing 🤩 Also dog friendly with doggy treats. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Food was very good and staff very friendly and helpful and I’m sure will be back again maybe before Christmas

The new management is making a difference. Friendly, popular and welcoming. Great service, didn’t wait long to be served at our table with excellent food and good alcohol all with a pleasant smile. Well done Red Lion we’ll be back.

Granddaughter 1 enjoyed the ultimate burger to the extent that it was the “ best she’d ever tasted.” The combination of flavours was unique and “ breathtaking “ Granddaughter 2 loved her burger but not too enamoured about the chocolate brownie. Hotel was great. Clean, comfortable and friendly. Would happily stay there again.

Great pub, great food everyone is always so welcoming to whole family, even the dog loves it there!!

Great pub, friendly staff and warm, friendly environment. The food has been disappointing on recent visits. Although basically it's ok pub grub, it's nothing particularly special and I don't like the white dishes with the blue rim. They remind me of guide camp! Looks awful.

Good ale, very pleasant and helpfull staff, excellent fish and chips. What more can I say? Good experience - thank you.

Very helpful staff food was very good we will use again for lunch or evening meals ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very clean pub and out side thank you for all you did

This is one of my favourite places to eat and I have introduced friends and family who have all enjoyed it . It has a lovely ambience, very friendly staff. There are meal deals which are really great value and the food is of an...

Had a fab evening here with all our family, the staff were lovely and they had arranged a great horseshoe table to accommodate 19 of us, so we were able to have a good catch up with everyone. All of our meals were excellent, as...

Friday nights are music nights. We enjoyed a great evening last Friday. Great atmosphere great band. Lots of people having fun. New manager with good ideas. Good luck Rich and Sonia .

Great night listening to the band Deezul. Good music, good drinks and great atmosphere with live music! We will be back to watch them again!!

Have been here multiple times over the last few months. Food has been delightful and the music evenings always create a great atmosphere. Staff are always very accommodating, friendly and willing to help. Never had a bad evening here will definitely be back soon.

Exactly what I needed after a busy and stressful week at work. A cold beer, perfectly poured, served with a smile and in the sun.

2nd time visit for £12.99 special menu as last time was superb. My pie crust was quite overdone & the bacon on my wife’s hunters chicken was very overdone this time compared to our first visit. That said however, the quality & value for money...

Average experience. Sat in restaurant. Orders some drinks. These came quickly. Ordered food. This seemed to take awhile considering it was quite in there. Ordered sea bass risotto and salmon fish cakes. Risotto was ok, sea bass could have had a crispy skin. Scallops a...

Great dinner with my daughter. Staff were great, nothing too much trouble for Rhi the assistant manager. Food came promptly, hot and very tasty. Will call in again definitely

Had a poor experience back in February. Meal was warmish, not hot. The vegetables her rock solid and the Churros we ordered for dessert was too hard to crunch. Left a review about our disappointment with the experience which the management responded to. They asked...

I come in for food and some drink on Tuesday the 14th, the pub was well looked after all clean and tidy, the bar staff was amazing and took me and my friends to our seats, took our orders and served us drink, it was...

I used to come here a lot but stopped because of the poor service of food and the staff seeming that they didn’t care, upon some family recently going here a week ago and saying some staff has changed and a new manager has taking...

Had the best lunch experience today. Went for the £12.99 for two menu. Great quality food served on beautifully warmed plates and such value for money. The staff were both welcoming & friendly. We will definitely return…thank you all…

We were asked to provide menu choices for a party of 10 which we did, 24 hours before. We were all there prior to the time requested (12:30) but the food arrived 75 minutes late. My steak and ale pie arrived with about 8 or...

I visited the Red Lion last monnth to catch up with friends. They reserved us a nice table and came and took order. Regularly checked in on us. The food is so reasonably priced and was delicious. All in all it was really lovely. I...

Came here with my elderly parents for Sunday lunch. First impressions were good- we were shown to our table and ordered our meals then we waited........we noticed a couple of tables around us had left full plates and wondered why. After 30 minutes we asked...

Had a brilliant evening at the Red Lion, where the staff were brilliant, both efficient and so friendly! Rhiannon, Jack, Simon and Ethan, you are all doing an excellent job. The pub ambience, live music and also the really good drinks offers all contributed to...

Great tasting food at a reasonable price. Visited on Fri with my mum, the only negative thing is there aren’t enough staff and it feels a little manic. Apart from that it’s a great place to eat.

I went to the Red lion today for lunch with my mum and dad the food was lovely but the service was very slow and the staff were rushed off their feet more staff was needed so the service would not be so long

Having decided to meet friends for a Sunday roast, This was so disappointing . I have never seen such anemic roast potatoes which I am sure must have been frozen and re heated. Also the worst Yorkshire pudding I have ever had. It was like...

Food was cold, very small portions and the red wine was corked, duo of seafood was a peace of salmon with 2 tiny prawns, burger was edible served with about 4 pale hard chips and the hunters chicken was dry with a wilted salads and...

This pub seems pretty popular, somehow has 4 stars and is always packed on weekends. Mainly because it is the only pub in the whole town. Basically it has no competition and the only other pubs nearby are also owned by the same chain and...

Took the family out for Sunday roast today. Wish we went somewhere else to be honest. Firstly, I must say the waitress was very pleasant. The food was just average unfortunately. The turkey was nice, but the vegetables were hard. Peas, parsnips and broccoli were...

We went on the 3rd of February for a long lunch. The table was booked for 1pm and we left at about 6pm. I suppose that having good food and drink is a given, but what set this apart was the level of service. Simply...

Came in on Thursday, food was great I had the steak and my husband had the pie. Amazing service from Rhiannon and jack, who are super polite and chatty and are certainly a credit to the company!

Lovely, friendly local pub. We had a lovely meal this evening with great service from Rhiannon and Ash. Very good value for money too!

It started off well at 5pm with our drinks order being taken, drinks arrived food order was taken by a member of the team who memorised our order No pen paper or tablet to record. Long story short about 5:40 we get starters drenched in...

Went in for lunch at 1pm. Waited one and a half hours for a burger. Staff showed 0 empathy and when presented with our food the bloke with tattoos and glasses verbally abused us. Absolutely shocking behaviour in our lovely local pub. Really not acceptable!

What a shame. Service was appalling due to not having enough staff on duty. Bad management. Not those two young men’s fault. They did their best. We sat down at 1215 and left at 1545. It took that long to serve a three course Christmas...

This my local was very unhappy with service, friends of mine book a table and waited 2and half hours to receive food, table booked for pm no service until 4.30 which they received a starter and then left due to poor management..this pub has gone...

Absolutely atrocious. To be made to wait for well over an hour for food (one course!) for it to then arrive cold and be told “we are doing our best”, with the manager hiding out in the kitchen preferring to send his staff out to...

We had had a busy morning of Christmas shopping and decided to pop in for lunch as we hadnt been for a while. We were greeted at the bar and given menus and then we found a table and a lady came over to take...

Been coming for a while but my god these were some of the greatest steaks ever, cooked to perfection, juicy seasoned! Just to die for - better than miller and Carter's Will be back

Great food. Lovely atmosphere I really enjoyed the decorations. All staff were super friendly. Busy on the Friday live music!

We’ve been eating here for years now but the new chef and management are by far the best so far. Great food tonight and service was great too.

Breakfast was really good tastes really nice. Friendly and helpful staff . Would recommend eating here

Been there 5 time we've never had a duff meal We were there yesterday we received great service from Chelsie Simon and Evan. The Katsu curry is excellent and the gammon is very good.

Had a lovely lunchtime meal. Food was excellent and plentiful, service by Chelsie was quick and efficient and overall cost was very reasonable. Would recommend and will visit again soon.

Thanks to Chelsie & Jack who looked after us, we had a very tasty meal, and they were very helpful when we had some questions about discounts etc. Good service, chilled atmosphere, clean and modern decor. We’ll be back.

Super chilled, great food for the money, staff are friendly. Would come again :) Servers were Jack and Chelsie

Had a lovely lunch today with family, food was excellent and the staff, Chelsie, Aidan and Rhianun were very professional.

We arrived today for a pre booked 70th birthday family meal out. They couldn't have been more attentive. Rhiannon, Brooke and Ethan were fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Thanks!

My wife and I live in Titchfield just 2-3 miles down the road from this pub and have visited it many many times over the past 12 years. We love the location and the staff especially Simon who is the backbone of the place. We...

Just back from a meal at this pub. We’ve been there on several previous occasions, with great service and good food but tonight was an utter shambles. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 young children. We managed to place our order for...

Local pub atmosphere, pleasant helpful staff. A good menu when we had a group there for dinner. Food was excellent, service quick.

We booked a table for 4 at 5pm and were told that food would be 20 mins - ok - we actually were served at 6.20! we asked the Manager usual nonsense they are plating up as we speak! they really have to improve kitchen...
