Red Lion Hotel Portsmouth London Road, Cosham, Portsmouth PO6 3EE

"Great service and excellent food, wonderful atmosphere. Dined here often and always been happy."

"The staff were friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. The room was clean and warm, which was lovely as so cold outside. The breakfast was tasty and cooked well, and the staff coped really well due to an awkward customer being extremely rude to the waitress, even though she was so polite to him. Will definitely come back, an amazing stay"

"Food is of good quality, decent size portions, cooked to how you like it. Dietary requirements are also catered for, Staff are always friendly and you're met with a smile. The new refurbishment brings a modern and open feel to the place. The Manager Micheal always greets with a smile and makes you feel at ease, he makes time to talk to the customers, he definitely has a larger than life personality which i find a positive experience, which makes the whole dining experience that much more enjoyable., even at busy times. Rob is also really polite and constantly non stop when ever I see him, same with all the FOH staff. Have not had the pleasure of meeting any of the BOH Kitchen Staff, because as a rule they stay in the kitchen. I can not comment on the hotel as I have never stayed in it."

"My review is about the food, not the rooms! I can't stress enough that the staff are lovely and had absolutely no issues with the way they delivered the service. The food however was very disappointing and also the waiting time, a hours wait for a medium done steak! And when it arrived the steak was so tough it was like a brick! The only thing nice was the chips! I could of raised this with the staff but honestly, I was so tired by the time I got it I just wanted to eat whatever I could and get home. Its a shame that the waiting time of the food and the food quality had ruined the evening. However staff was lovely!"

"Ordered food from here twice. First time (few weeks/month ago) had multiple missing items and second time (last night) they sent us a meat pizza when we had ordered the veggie one. Also had two stray sultanas/raisins in my salad (not in the item description). Glad I’m not allergic to them but definitely was an unpleasant surprise and along with the ‘vegetarian’ pizza being covered in turkey, I’m not going to be giving them a third chance. Won’t be getting food from here again and definitely don’t recommend it. If you do order, check your food thoroughly incase of cross contamination."
