The Cricketers Arms of Carlton Place
This is the Cricketers Arms of Carlton Place, in the centre of Southampton. We are one of the oldest, well established, and completely independent pubs on the south coast.
We pride ourselves in providing a warm, vibrant ambience and the best standards of customer service. We provide a wide range of fine beers including locally provided real ales, fresh home food specialising in succulent steaks and homemade burgers. We are one of the few places where you can enjoy T bone steaks, and all our produce is sourced locally.
We show live sport both inside and in a covered outside area, and have live music most Friday and Saturday evenings.
"My name is John Cooney and I am the proud owner. We look forward to welcoming and serving you."
Reservations are recommended
Our food dishes are ever more popular, so book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Outside and on screen
Two outdoor areas, and the sport on all year
There are outside dining and drinking areas at the rear of the pub in a private enclosed patio, and also at the front in the newly pedestrianised Carlton Place.
We show live sport both inside and in the covered outside area, so you can catch the game whatever the weather.
Opening hours may vary on home football games, when we often open early. Check our Facebook and Instagram for up to date information.
