Somewhere to stop for food, Portsmouth way

[Swales lives]

Heading off to France on Saturday, getting the boat from Portsmouth about 8pm.
So I want somewhere to stop for a bite to eat with the wife and kids about an hours drive from Portsmouth. Nothing fancy, a family pub off a motorway junction, a Chiquitos or Frankie & Benny... that sort of thing.

Any ideas Bluemooners, just been looking on a map and I'm not familiar with towns like Winchester etc. So any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Make butties etc the night before?

Just been checking their site and there's a Frankie and Bennys at Fareham , Eastleigh , Southampton and Portsmouth itself.

There's also two Chiquitos in the Portsmouth area , and one in Southampton.

Cheers for the tips. I'll have a look at these later.
I've left everything last minute and got dead busy with work.

you can sit and watch the isle of wight ferries go buy, short walk from mary rose and h.m.s victory if you have time to kill.

Jolly Sailor in Bursledon is about 25 minutes away. Nice pub on the river Hamble.

right on the roundabout before you turn into ferry port is a Brewers Fayre (or something similar) or if you going on Brittany Ferries try wait to you get on board
