<p>Centrally located overlooking the Cathedral in Winchester, indie Three Joes&#8217; authentic wood-fired, sourdough pizzas have a good spread of&nbsp;regional British toppings including mozzarella from Somerset, Stokes sauces from Suffolk and LoveSeitan from Buckinghamshire. A good place to take the kids, the under 8s menu is an absolute snip with a main, pud and snack for £6.50.</p>

<p>Serving freshly-made food whipped up canteen-style using plenty of good locally-sourced produce, The Festival Street Kitchen is one of Basingstoke’s best value places to eat. Along with burritos, burgers and jackets, they also have a daily ‘Big Pan’ special packed with fresh ingredients. Expect to get a sizeable main for £11 or less &#8211; leaving plenty more cash for mooching around the shops.</p>

<p>Big on well-priced brekkies, fresh and filling salad lunches, daily specials and a seriously tasty signature sausage roll, casual dining is the order of the day at the much-loved Canteen. Housed in a historic&nbsp;red brick battery, it&#8217;s smack bang on the seafront in Old Portsmouth with an awesome waterfront view. Grab a table on the terrace and watch the ferries and the yachts glide by.</p>

<p>Every day is Pancake Day in Odiham thanks to La Creperie, a sweet (or savoury) little French café. Serving sweet pancakes&nbsp;and savoury galettes, this little sliver of Gallic goodness will delight any coeliacs (galettes are gluten-free, woohoo). They’re also the perfect place to pick up one of my fave retro desserts, the Crepe Suzette. (And to practice your best GCSE French, if you decide to go rogue and order a croque monsieur). Even better, all the pancakes are under a tenner, so you’ll still be able to afford a ticket on the Eurostar.</p>

<p>Bright, colourful, geekery heaven – Piecaramba delivers on all fronts with their eclectic offerings of the pastry variety. Born of a love of comic books and pies, this place adds a bit of kitsch cool to the trad British favourite. Pick from amusingly named signatures including Al Piecino, Chick Norris, Shroom Raider and the Notorious P.I.G, with mash, a side and gravy, all for the superhero price of £13.50.</p>

<p>Bored of the ubiquitous burrito? Food from elsewhere in Latin America is having a moment right now &#8211; and you don&#8217;t need head to a trendy London eatery to try it. The Venezuelan family behind this former street-food stall in Southsea traded up to a permanent restaurant in 2024, with a menu of traditional, tasty, budget street-food style dishes from their home country. Grab an amigo and head here for loaded corn flatbread arepas, empanadas, Latino Fries and churros to eat in or takeout onto the beachfront. </p>

<p>The popular Italian chain needs no introduction &#8211; and can always be relied on for purse-friendly pizza and some very decent offers, too. Speaking of which &#8211; head to your local Pizza Express this September and you can buy one classic pizza and get the second for just £1*. Drop by at branches in Andover, Basingstoke, Fleet, Aldershot, Petersfield, Winchester and West Quay (Southampton). If you like dining waterside, there&#8217;s also a restaurant with a great view overlooking the marina and Spinnaker Tower at Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. <em>(*5-26 Sept 2024, Dine-in only, T&amp;Cs apply).&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Cowes is full of great cafes and bars. But next time you&#8217;re in town, take the chain ferry over to this budget-friendly family-run spot next to East Cowes fire station. Serving up local and organic produce in their gourmet brunches, burgers and sausage sarnies, there&#8217;s artisan coffee from Island Roasted, daily specials (and a cheeky lunchtime tipple on offer if you happen to be in weekend mode).</p>

<p>With a super simple menu featuring baguettes, baps and jackets, the Salix Cafe may not be the fanciest spot on the Island but the reviews don&#8217;t lie. People love this little spot on Small Hope Beach for its good vibes, cozy log burner and brilliant view of the beach.</p>
