The Red Lion in Eastleigh

Πήγα ένα τυχαίο μεσημέρι με τους φίλους για μπύρες και τελικά με τρέλαναν τα σάντουιτς που πήρα για να συνοδεύσω την μπύρα μου

Πήγα με την οικογένεια μου για. Το γεύμα της Κυριακής!!! Φοβερό γεύμα σε πολύ ζεστό περιβάλλον!!!!!!!!! Θα ξανά πάω με. Την πρώτη ευκαιρία

Myself and my partner had dinner here today for his birthday meal (evening menu). The service from start to finish was brilliant, the staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely beautiful! We both agreed it was one the best meals we’ve both ever...

We had reason to celebrate so my husband said he would like to go to the red lion. As always the atmosphere is nice with attentive staff. I spent a while carefully choosing a pizza that contained no onion. I don’t eat onion. So I...

Just home from yet another delightful evening at the red lion. Every time we go (about every four months) we wonder why on earth we leave it so long. Delicious, truly delicious, ingredients cooked with thought and love. A heartening experience that fills the soul....

We visited to celebrate my daughter’s exam results, having been before and enjoyed our meals. We had a fantastic three course meal and particularly enjoyed the Internationale Pizza with blue cheese and pear. Will definitely be back.

My husband and I just visited the Red Lion and highly recommend this restaurant. My husband had the chicken and I had the cod - both were delicious. We were very tempted by the pizzas as they smelt fantastic. Food and service was great and...

Such a a great find. My friend mentioned once to me about that place so we went there for a late lunch. Pizza was great, nice local atmosphere. Definitely will be back soon.

I've used the Red Lion for a few years now, and it offers exactly what I want from a restaurant. The setting is pleasant, and the menu offers a beautiful selection of Italian dishes and pizza. The food is consistently well prepared and of excellent...

I've been going to the Red Lion since 1979 and it has gone through numerous owners and gets better and better. A table for 7 for Sunday lunch and we had a range of offerings all of which feedback was very positive. A very pleasant...

Dined as a couple on a Saturday evening. Service was good, the asparagus and egg starter was very good. The mains, one pizza and one cod based dished were both good. All dishes were hot, which I am pretty obsessive about. The salad we had...

We went here when we couldn't get a table at The Wellington and were so glad we did. It's a great place. The service is excellent. There are cold jugs of water placed on the tables. It has a nice atmosphere, and I had the...

We wanted to have lunch outside on a hot sunny day. Turned up at about 1 o’clock but were discouraged by the state of the garden. There’s been no effort to make it attractive. The furniture is pretty old and there’s very little shade. There...

J’ai fini le plat avant d’avoir le temps de faire la photo... un plat du jour de qualité qui donne...

We tried the pasta, pizza, mushrooms on bruschetta and duck and all were homemade and cooked beautifully. We are food snobs and we're really delighted at this excellent quality and proper. Italian food. They passed all the tests with flying colours- pasta cooked al dente,...

Visited on a Saturday evening and it was very busy, saw a table with two young children happily tucking into their bowls of pasta so don’t quite get some of the other reviews about not being family friendly. Anyway we found this Italian very good,...

Lunchtime visit today, first for my partner who agreed the food was delicious. He had a pizza, freshly made and scrumptious. I chose a Club Sandwich which was tasty and filling. The staff are lovely, a very friendly greeting on arrival and the young waiters...

I went her with a group of 8. Service was good and delicious food. I had the meat balls which I would highly recommend, but the pizzas also looked very good so will try those next time.

ZERO STARS: Not worth the time or effort needed to visit, with rude management and incompetent (though well-meaning) staff. Especially if you are a family (manager said “good, don’t bring your baby. You should leave the baby at home”. Sad to say this is the...

If you are looking for a baby friendly restaurant, this is not a place to visit! “Don’t bring your baby here! Leave your baby at home.” Words by the restaurant manager as we were leaving the restaurant. Need I say more? - Delays in serving...

Following a very pleasant first visit, we have visited 3 more times; the second visit was good, the third not so good, with poor service, which we assumed was just an off-day, but the fourth visit confirmed that service has become extremely poor. Such a...

What a surprise this was. We expected the Red Lion to be an English pub but insteaf found an Italian restauraunt. The menu is wonderful but for me the highlight is the pizzas. Quite honestly the best pizza I've had in the UK. There is...

We love the Red Lion. Definitely the best Mortimer pub! As some reviews have pointed out, the proprietor can be a little unfriendly but only in the most genuinely Italian way! Go with an open mind and enjoy beautiful Italian food in a quintessentially English...

Popped in on a sunny Tuesday evening for an early dinner. Shared the antipasto and buffalo mozzarella to start, both were fresh with a good selection of antipasto. My main was home made Pappardelle pasta with a Oxtail Ragu, rich and delicious, my guest had...

Food ok, beer choice limited for a Hall & Woodhouse tenancy, service poor, staff need to be given training in all aspects of customer care. The tenant ( man in charge) very abrupt and unfriendly.

This pub restaurant has the ingredients for greatness but unfortunately doesn’t deliver. An amazing location and a pleasant building though.... The menu looks great but it’s execution is poor. For a starter we had bread with oil and vinegar. Olive oil in a leaky bottle...

Used to come here many years ago and loved it, so thought would give it a try. Had baby octopus stew for starter, dish had more potato than octopus. Had duck leg for main meal which was as tough as old boots and when tried...

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely place. Enjoyed both the fine dining and the take out pizza. Dog friendly too :-)

Thursday night, our son is at rugby training and we fancied a pint. We arrived, the food smelled delightful. Are you here to eat? No I said just a drink. Anyway had a fantastic pizza, light, crisp and tasty, so good we are taking one...

I really like the red lion! Despite the fact it is rather overpriced, if you sign up to there mailing list you get good discounts. The food I find is great, the Sunday roast is always fantastic, my partner however does not love this place...

Obviously a popular restaurant and in lovely countryside location. It probably has a lovely atmosphere in the evening. Contacted before hand asking about vegetarian options. Curt reply saying menu obvious but apart from pizzas not obvious. Staff not particularly friendly or interested. Pizza crusts dry...

Second visit here to take friends as we had enjoyed our last visit. They where clearly short staffed and therefore slow service. This would have been ok but when the food came out it was not very hot and not as tasty as last time....

Haven’t eaten here for about 2 years. Four of us came for Saturday lunch. It was quite busy with lots of young families. The lunchtime menu has changed, not as many choices, but certainly something for everyone. Three of us opted for the Stone Baked...

Plan was a Saturday lunch. Arrived and taken to a window table then waited for menu. Menu “dropped” on table without a word spoken. After 30 minutes although we endeavoured to get service no one approached us for drinks or food and patience exhausted so...

Great Italian fodder and atmosphere, and how lovely to see a traditional pub having new life breathed onto it. If I recall the owners are from Sardegna, but I may have forgotten the detail there .... either way - delicious, and so welcome.

Fabulous food, wine & service for my birthday with friends on New Year's Eve, Franco and his team looked after us very well.

Had a lovely meal here with friends. The menu offers a range of foods including Pasta, various meats and Pizzas made in a Pizza oven in view of customers. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. There were a variety of starters on...

A warm atmosphere with staff and great well priced food Italian food excellent and the beers and ales good value If you like dogs and children then these are there in abundance and better behaved than the owners ! I will go back as I...

Booked on a recommendation with couple we were dining with so didn't complain but the experience was a shocker. It appeared there were two people dealing with the bar and the restaurant of say 20 tables! This meant a huge wait, at the bar, for...

We arrived at the pub just on 12.00, the first to arrive, and received a pleasant welcome. There’s a very large car park and there is seating outside and in the garden, I expect it’s lovely in warm weather. The pub itself is larger than...

This pub is very friendly, the meal was good and service was as well. What more can you want. I have never been to the pub before and it is an old pub that has been extended over the years.

Went to The Red Lion with some work colleagues and it was our first visit. The food was excellent (all had their specialty wood fired pizzas)! They were all fresh, cooked to perfection and a reasonable price for them too! I was pleasantly surprised. The...

A favourite for my husband & I. Wonderful food & fantastic service. And last night was no exception. Alberto is a star always attentive along with the rest of the staff. Thank you & see you soon. Indi & Paul

Genuine, fresh uncomplicated Italian food in a country setting. Service used to be slow, but much better now, so nothing not to like

We had lunch here on Sunday with some friends. It's a lovely old pub building in a very pleasant location with a very good sized garden as well. Staff were very friendly and the service was exceptional. The food was fantastic with the portions being...

We had a dinner for my birthday as our favourite place has been sold. We were very pleasantly surprised. The food was fantastic. And not as many places they do sensible portions so you have space for pudding. Kids food is also fantastic and fresh....

This was our third visit to the Red Lion, twice for lunch and again on a Saturday evening. Both lunches were excellent (Pizza) with an Italian draught beer (Moretti). Our Saturday evening meal was a wedding anniversary, food was excellent, plenty of choice , either...

This was our fourth visit to the restaurant & oh what a disappointment. We had previously experienced good food & service & wanted to share our experience with friends. However, both the food & service were poor. In particular the king prawns were not "king"...

Lovely food lots of variety as well as freshly cooked pizza available to take away not the cheapest but well worth a treat The pasta with prawns truly delicious great choice of wines as well and made to feel welcome

Nice place to have Sunday lunch, but get there early as they sell out quick of beef & lamb!! Staff very nice and friendly. Big size garden for the occasional sunny day!

Our first visit to the Red Lion was for a 40th Birthday celebration and I have to say it was fabulous. Friendly and fun staff served so many starters all great the calamari was my favourite. Pasta was good the desert was a bit of...

We've been here before and always had a memorable meal. We shared the starter of Aubergine and Tomato layers which was delicious followed by the braised Ox cheek for my wife and the Bavette Steak for myself. The restaurant kindly agreed to swap the potatoes...

On our way back from visiting Silchester's Roman ruins and came across this delightful pub restaurant. Surrounded by lovely countryside yet not far from Basingstoke so still convenient, this pub is a little gem. We had pizza which was one of the best I've had...

We went to the Red Lion for a family dinner for 6 some time ago. The food and service was very good and the Owner is actually the chef as well (or so I believe). The décor and atmosphere was very cosy and accommodating and...

It was our first visit after moving to the area. The welcome was so warm and genuine, the service was fantastic and the food was just incredible. We plan on eating here again and often!

Have just come back from a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Red Lion. The ambience of pub& restaurant is lovely, with old wooden beams being exposed, and sympathetic decor to the age of the building. A lovely patio and beer garden to the rear with...

We visited The Red Lion recently for a second visit. The first meal was very good and the service was fine. However, on our return, we had one of the most disappointing experiences eating out I have experienced in a very, very long time. We...

Needed a lunch found The Red Lion by chance, not disappointed a superb find, busy interesting menu very helpful staff and superb service in every respect. The Italian choices very good, with wonderful pasta.

An amazingly superb evening, great food, with quick service. Even though the place was full on a Wednesday, we had great service. Very very impressed

We had a lovely dining experience last night. Perfectly cooked fresh al dente pasta and delicious home made pizza. Perfect cooked base, lovely sauce and very high quality pepperoni. Delicious Tiramisu. More choice of ice cream would be a nice touch. Staff are very welcoming,...

Absolute authentic Italian cooking, very nice starter, pasta was cooked fresh, Pizza was delicious......

We popped into our local favourite Italian restaurant and PH for a cheeky half of lager and a takeaway pizza on our way home from a family day out in the sun - and we were not disappointed! Being one of our favourite Italian eateries,...

Whether you're looking for a quick evening meal, takeaway pizza or a special dinner for 2 the Red Lion has it all. So good we keep going back. Good news is there's a new spring/summer menu so more new dishes to try. The staff are...

Delicious short seasonal menu cooked freshly to order. Also alternative is pizza from authentic oven in the bar (super delicious is pear with Gorgonzola). 2 dining rooms plus seating in main bar (some tables and chairs more comfortable than others). Exceptional customer service - warm...

I went with 5 friends for a Saturday Evening meal. I selected the cheese soufle to start and the veal cheek as the main. Both were good especially the veal. Others in the group chose duck, fish and pork belly. Everyone enjoyed their meal, accompanied...

Stopped in by chance on bank holiday Monday for lunch. 2 adults and a dog. The Red Lion was moderately busy but we were able to get a corner/ window table with space for our big dog, who was welcomed. Aside from the pizzas, the...

I spotted this restaurant on my previous visit to the country but after an extended viewing of the nearby Roman ruins we missed the opening hours. This year on my return visit, the Red Lion was on the top of my list and suggested it...

From start to finish, glorious. Such friendly service accompanied with great food and wine. How I've not been dining here more often is a real slap in the face

Have been to the Red Lion many times in the past and never had a bad meal. We have been meaning to try the latest incarnation of the Red Lion and finally got around to it. Can't say we had a bad meal, then again...

We went for a walk around Silchester the Roman town and the day was very hot. Quite unusual given the time of year. So we went into the Red Lion for a drink and ended up having lunch as well. We had bream followed by...

My in laws loved our previous trip so much that we booked again for their next visit. We were sat in the top room and it's a lovely atmosphere. Service was exceptional and the food was all very good. Our only negative was the people...

Not been for a while to this classic old English pub..but now with an Italian twist to it.Great service and very friendly from the start.Good beer and wine choices.As a dedicated carnivore I was however tempted by a vegetarian pizza which was exceptional..will definitely be...

When we arrived early on a Saturday evening the restaurant was virtually empty which was a bit concerning, but by 7.15 p.m. it was packed and had a fun, lively atmosphere. .The pizza menu is great, very Italian and plenty of variety. But the pasta...

Had a table booked for 4 people for Sunday lunch, having been recommended by friends. I'll deal with the positive first, the actual food was very good and I think great value for money. Now the negative, unfortunately the service left a lot to be...

An old time country pub with an Italian twist. Good beers, a fine selection of Italian wines and a great menu. Child friendly, but no chicken nuggets (thank heavens!). I thoroughly recommend this place.

Great place to come for a quiet drink with the Mrs and take some delicious pizzas away. The staff are really friendly!

Had a superb meal here with friends. We had never been before so 'took a risk' - we needn't have worried. A fabulous evening in beautifully decorated surroundings with wonderfully attentive staff. The food was excellent quality. Between us we had the chicken supreme, wild...

We went to this restaurant when it first re opened a few years back and it was not great. However fast forward to February 2017 and I can truly say its a million times better. The food was delicious. I has the pizza which was...

This was a Hall & Woodhouse pub with the usual pub food and H&W beers. We had 2 starters each for lunch which were excellent. Not the cheapest "pub" in the area, but worth the visit. We will return.

Booked as a last minute calling only 35 mins before the table time to make reservation. Thought because we were fitted in so easily it would be pants. What a foolish thought. The experience was just great. Start by parking in the top car park....

A nice ambiance, good food and friendly, efficient staff make for a very pleasant evening, if a little 'out of the way'.

More a restaurant than a pub, this cosy country venue consistently serves good quality authentic Italian food. We chose it for a pre Christmas business lunch on that basis and whist the food and service was good, we were surprised that for a pre Christmas...

We had a good meal. Boss went for a starter which was nice but quite expensive. For the main meal we both went for a Pizzas, freshly made and really nice. Plenty of it which meant we couldn't manage a sweet, really had our eyes...

This is the real deal. There are so few decent non-chain restaurants in the Reading area and finding this is a real treat. The food was brilliant, authentic Italian (try the baked onions for a starter to die for) with an additional pizza oven.

Another fabulous meal at the Red Lion. Always a real treat. Prices match anything you'd pay in Reading town centre, but the food a 100 times better. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and always something different on the menu.

I've eaten at this place twice, the first time when they just reopened under new ownership (3-4 y ago) and then in Nov 2017. Both experiences were excellent. The second visit in particular was memorable. Fires were blazing in the old pub newly renovated to...

Second visit to this delightful pub which is fairly local to us, this time for lunch and certainly not disappointed. A busy lunch service but everything was fine. Very tasty pizza and all our party were very satisfied with choices ranging from wild boar casserole...

We have been here twice before and had both a lovely meal and good service. The last time we went was a party of 8 and we spent over £250. Last night (my birthday) has left me feeling very disappointed. I asked for a glass...

Had not been to the Red Lion for a couple of years. The previous management had tried hard but the food was quite disappointing. Went there after a Boxing Day walk round Silchester. What a change. We were made welcome and there is a really...

We booked a table for the six course Christmas Day lunch. We love the Red Lion and the meal was everything we hoped it would be. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the timing of the courses was just right. We enjoyed a celeriac...

Pre Christmas dinner is a tradition the Baughurst Boys have been doing for over 10 years. We take in turns to book a local venue for our meal. This year John booked The Red Lion, Oh dear when I looked at the menu on line,...

Luckily this is fairly local for us, because it's become a firm favourite. They have a great Italian menu, with a 'specials' board. Pastas and dishes like mussels (delicious) come in starter or main course sizes too, so there is something for everyone. They also...

Nos encanta la Red Lion. Ya han comenzado a servir pizzas (muy buena) es perfecto para los niños y también la alta calidad más amplio menú italiano si te apetece algo un poco más especial. La comida es de excelente calidad, lo que se refleja en el precio, pero creo que bastante. El bar es estupendo para tomar algo. El servicio que nos parece muy relajado y agradable. Franco y el equipo parece haber llegado a la fórmula ganadora y sin duda ser cliente! Muchas gracias!

Hemos estado tratando de encontrar una buena razón para probar el Red Lion durante algún tiempo y que tenía razón cuando invitamos a amigos a cenar. Un pub, especializado en comida italiana. Menú completo con una enorme variedad de pizza, que parecía muy tentador!

First time here since became an Italian restaurant . Had heard mediocre reviews but found good choice of well cooked food and attentive friendly staff. Will definitely be going back. Good to have a good local restaurant and not just pub grub. Well done

Cenamos en el Red Lion muy recientemente, y encontré que el ambiente, el servicio y la comida muy buena. Me hubiera gustado un poco más de variedad de auténtica comida italiana en vez de una lista enorme de pizzas aunque, para ser sincero.

Un agradable pub acogedor pero la gerencia tiene que organizar los horarios con sus pedidos de pizza y platos principales pedidos como el chef chef cocina pizza y parece que no sirven juntos. Los camareros no explicar esto y se disculpó, pero esperamos una hora entre los aperitivos y platos principales. En un fin de semana muy ocupado y camareros le costó mantener.

Locale molto accogliente, ottima qualità del cibo, porzioni abbondanti, la brigata di cucina è molto professionale e preparata, il servizio è molto curato e il personale di sala sempre molto disponibile e sorridente, molto buona anche la pizza e detto da una napoletana vuol dire che è proprio vero!!!! Complimenti al sig. Franco (titolare) ed al suo splendido team, stanno facendo proprio un bel lavoro e spero di tornarci il prima possibile!!!

Mi fu consigliato tempo fa da alcuni amici, e incoraggiato dalle eccellenti recensioni ho voluto provare. Scelta che rifarei senz'altro. Personale molto accogliente ,ci hanno fatto accomodare ad un calorosissimo tavolo vicino al camino e ci hanno servito subito. Cucina eccellente e tempo di attesa minimo. Porzioni della grandezza giusta e rapporto qualità prezzo buono. Lo consiglio a tutti

Warm welcome, helpful service, Nice menu choices and very good food. We had been lamenting on the lack of local restaurants and now feel very fortunate. Service is effcient. Nice atmosphere of this lovely red brick old pub.
