Golden Lion Basingstoke

To the thing below you didnt moan about the kitchen when you were stuffing ya face xmas day narcascist that is all oh and new years eve drinking out of so called dirty glasses

Great pint of Guinness, friendly staff and locals. Pleasure to find a proper pub, they are few and far between these days.

Friendly staff and manager. Never had an issue and great Fish and Chips. I will certainly be going back.

Local pub with upmarket prices. £5 a pint!!! Poor food. Had the roast dinner, dry beef, stale veg. Cheap greasy burgers at resturant price. Only go there if you have no where else to go

My friends and I decided to meet up at this restaurant because it was the most centrally located. I was a little unsure at first, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. There was a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds - office workers, builders, groups of women catching up, and locals grabbing a bite to eat. I felt very welcome in this inclusive environment where everyone seemed to interact with each other. Although I didn't eat, the food looked decent. One of my friends mentioned that the men's restroom could use a makeover, but the women's restroom was satisfactory.
