The Cricketers Arms, Woolston, Southampton

Originally The Wolston Hotel, and also once The Bridge, the building has now been turned into a rather scabby dive pub at the lower end of the spectrum. The downstairs room shave been knocked into a single large bar with battered furniture, a juke box and a group of loud, drunken louts making it clear that strangers are not welcome in ‘their’ pub. It is long overdue redecorating. There is an equally scabby garden with various covered smoking areas and TV screens to match those inside. No real ale, no real welcome, not at all comfortable or convivial. There is a range of low quality keg and a few bottled offerings, while cheap and nasty cocktails are peddled to those who just want to get wasted. Not worth the bother unless you’re looking to end up on a sticky wicket.
