Being one of the busiest cities in Hampshire, Southampton is home to any tasty meal you could want. There's a Pizza Hut Restaurant which has a good value lunchtime buffet. To get there, simply head west for 144ft and take a left onto Binnacle Way. Keep going for just another 420ft, and you'll be at your destination.

If you're more into pasta, we recommend you try Zizzi. You'll find it on 33 The Boardwalk, Portsmouth PO6 4TP, and apart from their traditional speciality pasta, their list of treats extends to chicken, bacon, and more. The restaurant also does deliveries, so you don't have to worry about getting your food from within any local area.
