The Red Lion

After visiting the Basingstoke Canal at Odiham my husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat, we decided on The Red Lion, the food was very good, but also I'd like to mention the pleasant gentleman that seated and served us, he was quite exemplary, what skills, the manner in which he looked after us and other customers too, was absolutely spot on. Happy customers.

We were in a rush so didn't complain on the day, but both the full English and vegetarian breakfast felt like they'd been warmed up several times before service. Nothing on the plate looked freshly cooked.

We have been enjoying the Red Lion for quite a while, but it has got so much better!
Daniel and the team are fantastic hosts.

It’s clean, tidy, staff are very attentive & friendly. Nothing is to much, it is always service with a smile.

Special mention to Daniel who is so welcoming and friendly. He has also created a BRAND NEW COCKTAIL that is delicious, refined and moreish! Ask at the bar

Let me start with the good things: lovely staff doing their best to make customers happy, lovely room with comfy bed and towels. But…. Quite a few things that would need to be fixed to get a higher score; food wise, if you charge 15.95 for a burger, make sure it is really amazing and not an over cooked meatball on a stale bun with some sad salad leaves and tasteless tomato. Make sure you serve a breakfast that includes at least some eggs, even hard boiled. And refill a juice carafe once it is emptied. And here is a tip for those of you booking a room at this place; do not get a room in the front as the road is really busy and noisy and they have a very liberal policy when it comes yo kicking customers out after closing time which means they’ll sit below your room window with their drinks for quite some time making it impossible to sleep….

I am very grateful to the staff of this hotel. My car blew out here at night and stayed here for one night. I thought I could take a taxi to the tire shop and the tire shop would go and change my tires. The hotel staff told me that I needed to find a mobile tire service, not tire shop. Due to my poor English, the staff helped me to book a mobile tire service on the phone.
He is so enthusiastic and helpful. I am really grateful for what he have done for me.
In addition, the room was clean and tidy and the double bed was very big and very comfortable.

Nice food, poor customer service.
Reserved a table for 2 just after midday. Arrived a few minutes late and was told that I had choice of 2 tables, 1 of which had just become available. Both tables were tucked away squeezed into corners, but that's cosy right?
Went to order food to be told that the menu advertised on the website isn't available in Novemner and December as they start to get busy for Christmas so stop their deals.
No big problem, we ordered a main with a view to order a dessert later.
The mains came and they were good value for money and very tasty, the waitress asked if we would like a dessert menu to which we replied yes and she promptly brought us one. At this point most of the tables had emptied and there weren't many people left eating.
35 minutes later she returned to ask if we would like to order a dessert which we declined as had other plans arranged. This drew a huff from the waitress who seemed genuinely annoyed that we had declined and asked for the bill instead.
Overall a very disappointing experience that I don't plan on repeating.

Always good. Lovely cosey pub. Nice staff. Great Ales and also good choice of lagers including Leffe!

Food was a mixed bag. Some was OK but the roast was particularly over priced given the portion and very bog-standard trimmings.
