As the excitement builds for the World Cup 2026, locals in Southampton are already planning where to watch the matches. For those looking for something a little bit up from crowded pubs and noisy bars, Ottoman Kitchen offers something far more refined: an exclusive private room designed for unforgettable match-day gatherings where you can enjoy our food and talk to your friends in privacy.
A Private room to yourselves to watch the football
Tucked away from the main dining area, Ottoman Kitchen’s private room delivers the perfect balance between intimacy and excitement. With space for up to 36 guests, it’s ideal for large groups—whether you’re hosting friends, colleagues, or clients.
The room can be fully hired for World Cup matches, transforming it into your own personal fan zone. No queues, no interruptions—just your group, the game, and a curated atmosphere tailored to your vibe.
The room is regularly hired by Southampton Football Club and many other local businesses who want the benefits of the restaurant but in a private setting.
Perfect for Groups, Celebrations, and Corporate Events
World Cup matches are more than just games—they’re moments. Ottoman Kitchen’s private room turns those moments into shared experiences. It’s particularly well-suited for:
- Corporate hospitality events
- Birthday celebrations during tournament season
- Team socials or client entertainment
- Large friend groups wanting a dedicated space
With seating for 36, everyone gets a comfortable view and space to enjoy the match together—no squeezing around small tables or fighting for a screen.
Food Worth Cheering For

Of course, no match-day experience is complete without great food—and this is where Ottoman Kitchen truly stands out.
Guests can enjoy a rich selection of Ottoman-inspired dishes, from flavourful mezze spreads to expertly grilled meats. The menu is designed for sharing, making it perfect for group dining during the highs and lows of a football match.
Pair that with drinks flowing and the energy of the game, and you have a setting that feels both luxurious and lively.
Why Choose a Private Room for the World Cup?
Watching the World Cup in a private space offers a completely different experience:
- Guaranteed seating for your entire group
- Dedicated screen time with no distractions
- Customisable food and drink packages
- A more personal, premium atmosphere
Instead of competing with crowds, you control the environment—cheer as loud as you want, celebrate properly, and enjoy the game your way.
Book Early for World Cup 2026
Demand for private viewing spaces during major tournaments as we experienced in Euro 2024 and Wold Cup 202, and Ottoman Kitchen’s private room is no exception. With limited availability and high capacity, it’s one of the most attractive options for groups looking to secure a premium match-day experience.
In short: if you’re planning to watch the World Cup 2026 with a group and want something beyond the ordinary, Ottoman Kitchen’s private room offers the perfect blend of comfort, atmosphere, and exceptional food—making every match feel like a special occasion.
