Came for lunch on a Monday afternoon, found the staff to be exceptionally friendly especially Jodie who served us, food was average and kind of what you expect for this kind of place none the less still quite enjoyable and filled a hole. Good value also. Plenty of parking free round the back. We came with the dogs and they were more than welcome inside or out. We decided to sit outside and honestly this is where it felt let down really the outside certainly wasn't the cleanest with stuff all over the benches and rubbish everywhere. I'm not saying it put us off as inside did look clean especially the toilets which is always important but we wanted to be out. Otherwise it felt like the clientele inside was locals or regulars at that. Overall though the staff really were lovely and the food enjoyable enough so would use again if in the area.
Went to the recently renovated Red Lion Hamworthy today. We decided to have there all day breakfasts. The meals were reall tasty and filling, cooked perfectly, and to our surprise the price was 2 for 11.99. What a deal! The staff were warm and friendly. Will be going again very soon xxx
Food great staff very friendly. Only issues were not napkins, no soap in toilet and table for 2 bit small with all menus on .
We are regular customers to the red lion, me & my family have been coming here for years. The staff go out of their way to be friendly & helpful. Something has changed in the kitchen because the last 2 visits, the food is so much better than a month ago.
Excellent service. Our waiter couldn't have been more attentive. Even though they were extremely busy, we were informed we would have to wait over an hour for food, and it arrived within 30 minutes. I even had a desert, and I could or perhaps should've shared it with the wife. However, she had opted for the crumble and ice cream combo, so I had to enjoy the Candy sundae 🍨 all by myself. Yes, it was a struggle, but I would wholeheartedly recommend it, but perhaps next time, as a sharing option.
The decor in the pub is looking a bit dated, but I hear they are having a refit soon. So I look forward to seeing that. However,even if they don't, I would still recommend it.
Came in for a quick meal with my two children, they both had burgers off the kids menu and really enjoyed it. I went for the Quadzilla which was MASSIVE!! and very tasty. Staff were all polite and friendly specifically Lisa who took our order
We visited Wednesday for burgers, the place was busy, we booked and food was served in about 20mins, portion sizes were generous and food was hot. Good value for money.

(Update at the bottom)
The food was incredible for pub-grub and the most reasonably priced in the area. However this place is hugely understaffed and waiting for staff to check in for our booking or order drinks was a nightmare.
It was incredibly busy, and our table had been drowned with drinks from the previous customers. The menus were absolutely drenched and soggy - however the staff did everything they could to rectify this and clean it up when we arrived.
They did run out of steak for the mix grill and only informed us after we had paid, although I was able to swap out for a different dish even though it was more expensive.
Despite being severely understaffed the food arrived in reasonable time and was impressively delicious.
What I did find ridiculous was that customers cannot swap items out - since there was no steak, they would not let me swap it for extra gammon or any other item.
The bathrooms were disgusting and had no soap - though this is down to being understaffed and the higher management will seriously need to invest more into the staff budget for this place to do well.
UPDATE:-
Our party of 7 returned today for a Sunday roast. Under the impression you could get more than one type of meat in the £2 upgrade, we ordered that. We only got the one meat on each roast which made everyone's orders wrong - we should have been informed that you can only have one meat per dish when we ordered. The mash, stuffing and peas were missing off all the dishes. Staff did rectify the missing peas, but told us they had no mash or stuffing - something we should have been told when we ordered! A couple of dishes had cold veg and the green beans were a bit underdone, although the turkey, roasties and Yorkshire puddings were some of the best I've had.
Visited here recently. Loved this place, good relaxed atmosphere around the locals and all staff. And this burger is to die for. Can't remember the name of this dish but it was the best. Definitely retuning when I'm in the area again in a couple of weeks. 5*
Busy when we arrived very friendly food good hot and quite fast considering how busy it was. Really good decor and layout after the refurbishment. Highly recommended 👌
Great value selected big plate specials on a Saturday for only £7.99. Staff are always friendly.
Meal for 2 with soft drinks just over £20!
Brilliant value!!
Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and very tasty home cooked food! Was not expecting such good quality, steak pie and fish and chips were spot on.
Food arrived quickly and very hot using the app. Excellent staff including Ema and others who waited at the tables. Due to shut for five weeks for a refit apparently. Recommended
Love this Pub. Traditional well cooked food.
Good menu choice, something for everyone. The only negative is the car park. It's plenty big enough but on the several occasions we've visited there has been lots of broken glass strewn around.
Visited today for lunch , we did have a bit of a wait for our food but were told this before ordering so we chose to wait and glad we did , food was excellent value for the money very enjoyable , lovely atmosphere and friendly staff , we will be back
