The Red Lion

Visited the Red Lion twice on a recent trip to Southampton and we found the lamb shank and fish & chips to be excellent. There was a large selection of draught beers and the atmosphere was very social, with football and rugby on the tele.

Old school pub on the outskirts of Winchester with a beer garden. Nice array of options, especially for me as a vegan. Had the vegan roast, which was a pie (not just a pastry lid), which was very tasty, and lovely rich gravy. Pleasant staff and big portions. Very dog friendly too!

If visiting Southampton on a cruise liner you must stop at this pub. Loads of history and a very nice setting for a beer or two. Henry 2nd liked it too.

Lovely welcome,character of the pub was great,the steak pie was like what grannie made full of meat unbelievably delicious 😋

A blast from the past for me. Revisiting my birth city from Australia. School group lunch reunion. Drinking warm English beer and their excellent Steak and Ale pie with definitely fresh veggies, none of this boil in a bag stuff.
