About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
City-centre pub on Carlton Place with multiple TVs, including a large screen and outdoor TVs in a covered garden, so you can watch live matches inside or outside. It’s about 1.1 km from Southampton Central station, making it a practical pre-/post-match stop for rail travellers. The pub notes it may open early on Southampton home matchdays, and it serves hot food with stated kitchen hours (including popular Sunday roasts), which is handy on matchdays.

The cricketers has a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere and has become a central venue for the nightlife of Southampton! Open until 1 AM - The Cricketers is much more of a bar vibe than a club. Food is served until 9 PM on Friday and Saturday nights. The Cricketers often have some of the best local musisicans perform and most nights there is some sort of event on. I managed to catch The Excellent Paul, Charlie and Max perform an excellent set full of 90's and 00's classics, creating a fantastic night! This is a great place to find if you are looking for a great. Night out in Southampton to watch some live music, a place to go for a meal, somewhere to go to get put the house for a quick one on your own or a place to gather the crew for a proper bar crawl. Always a great night out at the Cricketers
We stopped in on the recommendation of our taxi driver, who Said that cricketers was the best pub in Southampton. After the friendly and wonderful service we received from Chelsea, I'd tend to agree with him. Everything was very tasty. So glad we stopped here for dinner and a drink.
Really enjoyed the first vegan night at this very friendly pub. Food was lovely and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Wheelchair access was difficult, I needed help to get in and help to get to the toilet (I can walk a few steps with assistance), but once inside I could get around very well. Really hope they do another night like this one, or even better to put some of the things we tried tonight on the regular menu! The fish pie and the battered sausage were my favourite (our group of three tried everything between us, tapas style). Price was good too!
Honestly, if you're looking for a good roast, then this is the place to go. If I didn't work Sundays it would be a weekly tradition. The lamb is always top tier, the beef is always delicious. Gotta give a massive shout-out to Emily behind the bar, she's a laugh and a lovely chat. Sam is also very quick at the bar, serving people quickly and their customer service is amazing. Tbh, all the staff here, every time we come, have been absolute dolls. 💞
This place was recommended by Dany our taxi driver when we mentioned we wanted to go to a pub. I understand why! I had the fish n chips and everything was soooo amazing! Chelsea was so sweet and helpful! I wish we were staying here longer just so I could come here a couple more times
