The Cricketers Arms in Southampton

Friendly service, good range of beer, comfortable, close to home and kebab shop!

Went here once with my brother for a pint before going to the football @ St Marys it was nice and friendly. Will be back again soon

Amazing atmosphere at the weekend. We watched the football here and then stayed on until the evening when they had live music playing. Great place for food too. Keep up the good work guys

Amazing pub with a great atmosphere and great staff. Food is amazing and great value - especially the sharer ploughman’s. The landlady, landlord and bar staff are really welcoming, friendly and easy to have a laugh with.

Great place. Great people. Make sure a pint in hand when match on. You will enjoy your time there.

The bald man was rude, slow and unhelpful.

Working man's pub. But friendly, parking and su day lunch was very tasty and good price

We really enjoyed the Sunday roast! Thank you so much

Superb meals and fantastic Roasts on Sunday.

Great drinking pub and spot to watch some sport.

Lively pub with a good atmosphere

Popped in for a quick pint on the way home. Had a good chat with the bar staff and locals. I use the pub probably once a fortnight

This pub is now an amazing place to drink. New Managers and a New Vibe. Well done for turning this place around after such a disastrous ex landlady.

This pub has massively improved it went from hardly busy to every day being busy live music nearly every weekend and friendly staff and customers and landlords

Superb and friendly local to me here in Woolston. Amazing Karaoke nights and bands! Sarah, Phil, Taylor and Claire have been so kind to me. Pool table, darts, function room and good selection of well price drinks! Highly recommended.

Proper pub. Like good pubs used to be like. Staff friendly as where the customers.

Great pub great prices great pub owners

Sarah and Phil are amazing, such a lovely atmosphere.... lovely pub, would recommend to anyone all day long

The new owners seem to have turned the place around and made it the place to be in Woolston. Live Music, DJ's, Sky Sports and TNT sports. What more could you ask for. Amazing hospitality from the landlady and landlord and all the bar staff are so friendly. Loved the Meat Draw on Friday afternoon... amazing meat that I won from a local 'proper' butchers. All in all, an amazing place... keep up the good work 👍

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere Phil and Sarah your doing such an awesome job turning this place around 👏 👍

Popped in for a spot of lunch. Debbie and Sandra were lovely. Pub was clean and meals were delicious. Will definitely be back.

Great pub,plenty of sports to watch eg, tv's. Friendly service

Disgusting Carlsberg beer , maybe out of date or something. I left it after one sip

Brilliant pub! Atmosphere is fantastic especially on game days! UTS!!!

Very nice friendly staff was given a piece of birthday cake and a free pint 🎂🎉

We popped in for Crickfest night and it was great. Haven't seen a good entertaining night and atmosphere this good here for a long time. The new landlord and landlady are doing an excellent job.

Great pub, The new landlady and landlord Sarah and Phil are doing a great job. Live bands on a weekend, karaoke for those who can't sing. Sky sports is back. Pool and darts teams. It's back to being a great sports pub. Family and dog friendly, as long as they behave.

Nice atmosphere, met locals that wanted to play pool, what more could you want?

Had a fab night last Friday great atmosphere and friendly bar staff.

The Cricketers Arms is back to being a fantastic Pub again. The new landlords, Sarah and Phil are brilliant! Their team are friendly and professional and now with regular live music on weekends and Open hours as stated - 11 till 11 Monday to Sunday, the pub is rocking once more!

Best pub in town - since taking over the new managers have already made a positive impact here. Will be back soon!

Best pub in town now. New managers are brilliant. Came in to watch the football, loads of screens. Beer is a good price and the food was delicious.

Went to a birthday party they have a lovely hall at the back of the building.

A great local, friendly & fun atmosphere. Welcoming staff - Highly recommend ⭐️

Walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile and a welcoming vibe, the place is clean and tidy and the bar staff are lovely and up for a laugh. good vibes overall :)

Great Atmosphere, staff are really friendly and welcoming, look forward to visiting again soon.

Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere, bar staff are lovely and up for some good banter :)

Great boozer friendly and clean

Great service from jenny and her team. Very clean and tidy and reasonable prices on drinks.

We where looked after by the landlady, my grandchildren had great fun we will come back soon thank you for looking after us.

Lovely local pub , nice vibes and good selection of drinks. Jenny and her Team are lovely , down to earth and funny too ! Well organised on Match days and lovely and warm in the winter ! Since we moved here this is our local and a great pit stop on way to town ! Highly recommend

Really I can’t fault this place the staff are so pleasant and the atmosphere is calming and can be exciting if you feel comfortable to communicate with other customers ❤️keep up the good work guys the people are like human butterflies always willing to make people welcome so whenever your in the area feel free to show your presence

Big thank you to all the staff for a fantastic night out!! We will definitely be back soon.

Great pub, very clean & staff friendly.

A friendly local pub with helpful staff

Wonderful pub, special shout out to Rachel and her five star service.

Had a lovely experience. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Good local pub, cheap beer, nice landlady makes you feel welcome

This pub does not serve cask ale. The bottled beer from the fridge is too cold although why would you want to drink it? Ok for the locals who enjoy meeting there but the beer guide app says that cask is available and it is not.

Great local. First time visit we were treated like royalty .

Bar staff got my drinks order wrong and refused to change it. The land lady is now asking me to take this review down even though she was the one was refused to fix the error. Freedom of speech means I can post this review. The land lady should have resolved the issue at the time. Update: Yes my friend ordered the drink but he pointed to the pump and told the bar staff the correct order so this is justified and you did nothing to resolve the issue so that is why I have you one star. I am just voicing my opinion on bad service so others can see it

Beer was cold, nice atmosphere. Very welcoming. Will visit again.

Great local pub. Great jukebox, pool and sports. Best of all is the staff. Pubs like this are few and far between. It’s so nice to come into a pub like this and feel welcome. Jenny the landlady is fantastic and all the bar staff are just great. Brought so many people here when we moved to this area as it’s great. Well done to you all. Long may it continue.

Great place hall hired for funeral nice and use the place for weddings 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍

I have never gone to the same place for lunch twice in one week but the Cricketers is like a home from home. I took my mum, daughter and friend as a treat. Again staff exceptional. Met by Lou, who was very much in control, efficient, friendly and accommodating. She did not mind that my daughter was arriving late due to car breakdown. The restaurant was busy but the waitresses, Katie and Larisa were friendly and patient. Food delivered in good time and to a high quality. Would recommend a visit.

Great staff always friendly and welcoming. Always a welcoming atmosphere.

Popped in here Saturday night and left almost immediately. The woman serving appeared to have no people skills whatsoever. I would go so far as to say hostile. As we were leaving, two regulars smiled and commented they were 'working on her.' Went on to the Robin Hood where we received a much warmer welcome.

Great Pub, Brilliant sports offering. bring back SKY SPORTS.

Just a simple pint after football staff pleasant enough

Good sports pub showing footie.

Jennie, thank you for support and your big heart 💙💛

Popped in here when meeting family. Comfortable inside. Staff friendly. Breakfasts excellent. Clean and tasty. Coffees were very good too. Unisex Toilets very clean. It was a pleasure to visit this cafe and recommend giving it a look. There are outside tables too.

This pub is second to none for good service and nothing is too much trouble. Moreover Jennie and her team are doing a wonderful thing for the community in hosting the weekly social events on Saturday mornings for Ukrainian refugees. The atmosphere must be great considering the popularity of them.

Good pool table and plenty of screens for the football. Beer was what you would expect and priced fairly as well. A good night in the pub

It's okay nothing special. Young crowd really.

I haven’t been there for 2 years but I wanted to take someone for a drink and it was a good night.

Well Done Jenny. Pub is spotless, great sports offering, function room pool and darts.

Absolutely incredible the atmosphere was completely electric.

Fairly close to the football ground it is a known meeting place for fans pre and post match drinks.

Always a great time at the cricketers in woolston. Great selection of beverages, weekends are lively with upbeat positive locals, party atmosphere and great on match days with multiple TVs and function room as well. Highly reccomend 🙏

Great experience. Jenny is a great host, very welcoming pub. Great prices and venue is great for sports and pool

Great choice of beers very helpful and welcoming

Really lovely food and service. Relaxing atmosphere. Great Turkish food and authentic Turkish tea. I felt like I was on holiday and we all need that feeling at the moment!

Breakfasts outstanding fantastic sevice nothing is too much trouble sunday lunches are just as good we travel from the city centre to woolston well worth it

Landlady is rude will never go back

Great local pub, good atmosphere and reasonable prices. Would recommend.

Great pub, good service, friendly atmosphere, will go again!

Brilliant atmosphere for the cup final on Sunday absolutely loved being in the venue with very decent and bubbly staff. Highly recommend

Great place to watch Saints. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Great service 🍻

Great function room for my daughters birthday party. Sonya and Jenny were really helpful with our enquiries and facilitating for our needs. Would definitely recommend to other people for any special events!

Love the cricketers good people good atmosphere

Clean friendly can sit inside or out

Very nice & friendly the only thing that could entice more people would be a better disable toilet as i am unable to weight bare my wheelchair does not allow to get in im hoping to become a regular. Hope you don't mind me making this kind remark.

We had a party of eight eating, and we ALL really enjoyed our meals. The meat on all plates was tender and melt in the mouth you could taste that everything's made fresh. Staff were helpful and friendly. Tried Turkish beer...lovely!

This cafe is now open in the evening as a Turkish restaurant. We visited tonight with family. The food is fantastic, the meat is cooked to perfection very tender and tasty. This is the best Turkish food in the area. We will be back in...

Google tells me it's open but nope. Wasted journey

Don't book a wedding reception here ! What a complete sham , i booked for the whole day and evening with extra for booking till late , we were told that we could not go in early to decorate hall and that we could not get into the hall untill 5 pm even though we wld get there for about 4ish and this was because they decided to have the football on big screen in the hall and that they wld do the hall up for me , well we did not get into the hall till 6.30 and all my decoration's i had bought and had decided where to have them were not done there was a few balloons up not even with the gas we bought for them , the wedding cake was delivered in the morning and had been left in the hall all day even when it was so hot and with the punters watch football the cake was meant to be cut up by the staff never got done first nor last we never got our drinks handed out for toasts till we decided tht waiting for 2 hours was just a joke so did that ourselves n, not even half my food was put out they went against my table plan for the food and found out the next day she kept it for a christening party the next day and with decorations tht i had bought for my day . We booked hall till 12.30 but because the landlady had a hang over from the night before shut the wedding down at 10 , we never got our money offered back for the hours we never had the hall not even a sorry , i can only now tell my story as was so upset and still am as this was meant to be our dream day and it was not . DONT BOOK ANYTHING IMPORTANT EVER

Been coming here now for a few years much better with the appointments app no longer waiting about for long periods of time in a packed shop . Scott is friendly and chatty and there is a kettle on hand if you want to make a brew .

Nice manager and good atmosphere. Beer tasted great too 😊

A good service....clear guidance on the rules...very clean.

Had a really nice food, a bit pricey but value for money, I think. It's a really nice building and nice atmosphere to go along with it.

Too many regulars whom make you feel uneasy. Very sport oriented which takes over the pubs atmosphere so not for us. Though others may disagree. Not tried the food.

This is a decent cafe. Good range of foods. Big portions, and reasonable value for money. Not the cheapest, but the food is tasty, well cooked, well presented, and there is a good choice. Cash only.

Just been to a wedding reception there the dj has drink problems or was on drugs as he kicked the door in in the toilet because I wouldn't use the pan next to him then accused me of being a junky after he was confronted...

Great public house great atmosphere

Bit of a let dwon hering people saying racist 😡

Great place to have a pint and watch football..

Good function room for wake. Food was great needed more vegetarian samples apart from sandwiches overall friendy. barstaff worked hard making aure all were served

A very good pub,good selection of beers,spacious,ideal meeting point.

I should start by saying that I went here on a Tuesday afternoon so it was super quiet when I was here. I only went because my car was in the garage next door and I decided to wait for it instead of walking home. However, I do not regret my decision to get a drink and sit out in the sun because the barmaid was friendly and prompt with my order. She also made an effort to make sure I was satisfied with my drink. I didn't see much of the inside because as I said earlier, I took my Pepsi outside to drink, but from what I saw it looked quite cosy and very clean. I saw other reviews that complained about the plastic cups; however I would like to add that my drink was served in a proper glass. They only serve drinks in plastic cups after 10pm (which makes sense because the only other time I have been here was on a Friday or Saturday evening and it was full of rowdy men lol).
