ODEON Port Solent

You're here for the films really, but the café side of this Port Solent ODEON pulls its weight beyond the usual cinema fodder. The coffee's actually drinkable – proper beans, not the burnt stuff you'd expect – and they've got a solid lineup of sandwiches, pastries and sweet treats that'll sort you out before or after your screening. The setting might be retail park territory up in Cosham, but Port Solent's got that marina vibe going for it, and you can grab a seat with views out towards the water if you time it right. It's handy for families doing the whole shopping-cinema-dinner thing, and the staff seem to have their act together even when it's rammed on weekend afternoons.
