It's a small cockle stall selling, yep you guessed it, cockles. But they also do the MOST amazing hot chocolate with bits of Mars Bars floating in it and topped with marshmallows. V indulgent and naughty but a great winter warmer.

The Hard, Portsmouth. Between Portsmouth Harbour train station and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard's entrance.

Stan, who despite the name is a real French bloke, cooks some fantastic, unusual and delicious rustic French food and loads of different sausages and mash, veggie options too. All of this is served at Little Johnny Russell's. It's a great pub in Albert Road, Southsea. Visit it... good food, great music, lovely staff.

Fort Nelson is a brilliant place to go for all the family. It was built in the 1860s protecting the famous harbour in Portsmouth when a French invasion was expected (but it didn’t happen). The museum is free all year round. It has 350 big guns including Saddam Hussein’s giant ‘Supergun’.

If you go in the holidays, there are gun firings that are loud and exciting. You can also go down to spooky tunnels where the gunpowder used to be kept or climb on the ramparts. There are also people dressed in soldiers’ suits who tell you about the fort, including a man (who is also dressed and with his sword) who tells a story about a battle.

Do a great deal with 2 portions of fish and chips and a bottle of wine. Sit outside and watch the ships come and go. Fantastic!
