A. K.

Great choice of well-kept classic ales, a very classic pub, and in fact our favourite in Southampton.

D. B.

Great place for real ale pity they don't have the amount of choice they used to have when Bob run it.

G. G.

One of Southampton's Great Old Pubs...

B. K.

My lovely local. Two bars with rentable back room. Garden with smoking area. Many items of decoration as talking points. Roaring open fire (sometimes). Friendly, intelligent staff serving food inside or carry out beer and cider if required.

V. K.

Friendly old-fashioned local pub. Good choice of well-kept and varied beers. Pleasant and friendly service. Excellent selection of music played loud enough to hear what's playing but quiet enough not to interfere with conversation at all. There's room in the back bar to sit fifteen people for a group chat or you can sit in the front bar in an alcove made for two. Your choice. It's good enough that I walk past six other places I could drink on my way to this one - it's my pub of choice.

Brilliant place fantastic vibes. Bar staff outstanding. Get treat like a local/regular. (Was my first visit) made to feel more welcome than my local in Winchester. Will definitely visit again and 💯💯 recommend to anyone wanting quiet drink or even first date.

M. H.

Ahhh...well what can I say about this here Legend of a Shirley Drinking Mans (& Ladies) establishment!! For a start the bar has been there for years!!! (If u wanna redo it I'll empty out my jar! Work a deal out 😉) Covered in Copper Coins so strictly no scrap metal merchants making a bid before I've worked out my deal...thankyou...anyway I digress, it's a wonderful watering hole with a diverse and interesting bunch of reprobates, of which I add... no end of interesting conversation with the locals will leave you supping more ales and wasting away an hour or 4! Great Staff, Great Establishment, Great Beer (so I hear), Great entertainment and well....Just Great! What I would call..... a Happy place!

Nice friendly staff. Good atmosphere 👌

L. W.

A great place to eat. The Sunday roast dinner are very good, the portions are very generous,the staff are attentive and professional yet friendly. Seating is comfortable. A good selection of real ales. Good to find a pub in Freemantle that serve lovely selection of food and of course the best Sunday Roasts. Congratulations to all concerned at the Wellington Arms.

a.

Nice pub for Beers, nice atmosphere and traditional pub design. Roast dinners not so good though, small portion and rather over salted. Excessive gravy did not makeup for lack of spread and not an inexpensive price.

J. G.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Good food.

N. F.

Under new management. They have a card machine! They have all my favourite beers too. They have a darts board. They have really comfortable bar seats. They serve food! What a fantastic change. This might be one of the best pubs in Southampton now. Update: this IS one of the best pubs in Southampton, possibly the best?

D. P.

Used to be my favourite Southampton pub. its still ok with friendly staff and does have live music in the small lounge. The Welly has lost much of its charm and looks a bit run down inside

S. T.

Brilliant pub, that now offers really nice food. They have a great selection of ales including some rare ones to the Hampshire area. The landlord and all the staff are all very friendly and welcoming and the price is fair and reasonable.

J. W.

Traditional town pub. It is like stepping back in time to those old days before the greedy breweries tore the hearts out of characterful locals. Great place, great service, great beer and colourful landlord too! No loud music or yobs either!! Not to be missed!!!

J. L.

Wonderful environment and atmosphere , good selection of commercial and craft beers. Food is always top notch and staff are always friendly and on the ball. Can’t go wrong stopping here for a drink or a bite!!

S. P.

Not impressive from the outside - grubby, bars on the windows, one discrete entrance door which is closed. Semi industrial backstreet location. It looks like the place is closed - probably on police orders. I visit on a Saturday lunchtime and there's only one other person, and he's sitting reading the paper - customer or barman? I look at the beers - there are seven casks on offer. Ring the bell, says the man. There's a small bell above the bar which brings the barmaid. Cool. Walls and ceiling are painted a dark red, giving the place a Seventies feel. It's like being back in a hippy squat. The lights are low, and Focus is playing. I wander round and find another bar with four different casks. This place must be popular in the evenings in order to shift 11 casks before they go stale. Hmmm, we've now got Grateful Dead on the hi fi. Nice, cool relaxed atmosphere, but no food. Crisps and nuts is all. I like it here. The beer is good, and there is a great range. This is probably the best traditional real ale pub in Southampton. The lack of food and awkward location limits its appeal, but if all you're after is to drink real ale in comfort while listening to mostly Seventies music, then this is heaven. Three rooms with comfortable tall pew benches, fireplaces, and a sprinkling of quirky niknaks. There's even a beer garden of sorts - a small back yard with seats.

G. H.

Very well kept Beers, great choice of 8 + few Ciders. I didn't eat but there was a god menu andthe place had a friendly atmosphere.

J. B.

Real ales and great Sunday roasts. Enough tables to always get a seat (so far). Friendly service.

R. M.

The Wellington Arms is still one of the best pubs in Southampton. It is an architectural gem, and it always has interesting beers, and punters, and lovely staff. I live a 10min walk away, yay!!

G. B.

The place improved a lot under the new ownership. Fine ales, new style and the possibility of card payments. Food is good and the darts boards let locals socialise.

W. S.

Great place for a large selection of real ales in a real pub. Live music on Saturday nights from small bands. A really sociable place to drink

S. T.

Excellent choice of beers. Great old fashioned atmosphere. Good pub grub. Serves HSB my favourite.

I. W.

Top class. Proper pub, proper local & proper drinks. Nice atmosphere on a Friday evening, just busy enough & with a good crowd.

A. T.

Lovely cosy little pub with a good selection of ales. Friendly bar staff and free roast tatties on a Sunday evening.

N. W.

Recently changed hands but looks like it may have survived unscathed, good range of ales although mostly national brands, there was a couple of decent ones amongst them, will return to see if the range improves.

I. M.

Good beers, good food.... good old school pub. Favourite haunt of the group of us working away midweek! Supertramp playing right now too!

Had a lovely evening in this friendly local pub with good conversation and service from the barmaid “Demi”, if you’re looking for a fun and lively pub I could not suggest better than this pub and it’s evening staff! Demi is a real ray of sunshine who can brighten anyone’s day!

(Translated) Cozy pub within walking distance of the station. The interior looks typically English, as if it had been collected from the thrift store. 😉 Great service too! (Original) Gezellige pub op loopafstand van het station. Het interieur ziet er typisch Engels uit, alsof het bij de kringloop bij elkaar is gescharreld. 😉 Prima service ook!
