Welcome to Lunch Box Café, a delightful gem nestled in the Fareham Enterprise Centre. This cozy café is not just a place to grab a quick bite; it has transformed into a beloved local hub since the new management took over. If you’re looking for a spot that expertly combines convenience with quality, you've found it!

The allure of Lunch Box Café lies in its diverse menu, which caters to a variety of tastebuds. Whether you’re swinging by for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up, this café delivers. Start your day with a steaming Latte or a perfectly crafted Espresso, priced at just £2.00 to £2.50. Or perhaps indulge in their rich Hot Chocolate that pairs wonderfully with a slice of their delicious cake – just ask customer HL RF, who humorously credits the scrumptious sweets for her fitting woes! With excellent options like Cappuccino and Flavoured Latte, your coffee cravings will undoubtedly be satisfied.

For lunch, the options are equally tantalizing. One standout item is the jacket potato, celebrated by Lee Steele for its hearty filling that is truly ‘brilliant’. Or try the flavorful burger topped with bacon and mushrooms, which is sure to leave your taste buds dancing with joy. And don't miss out on their unique smoothies – the Pineapple, Mango & Papaya smoothie at £3.50 is a refreshing treat that tastes like a tropical escape.

But let’s talk about the atmosphere. Under the care of Jade and her team, the café has undergone a delightful transformation. Gone are the gloomy vibes; the space now welcomes you with a fresh, inviting ambiance that makes it the perfect retreat whether you’re catching up with friends or seeking a quiet moment to enjoy your coffee.

Get my lunch here everyday. The delicious cake is responsible for me not fitting in size 8 jeans. Highly recommend.

Since Jade and her team took over, this place has dramatically improved. We originally came here just because it was local, wanting to support a small business, but now it’s become a go-to spot. Huge well done for revamping the aesthetics—it used to remind me of the café from The Apprentice (a little gloomy), but now it’s fresh, inviting, and a pleasure to visit. Even though we’re moving premises a few minutes down the road, we’ll definitely keep coming back. The food has gone from a soft 6 to a firm 10 since the handover! If you visit, I highly recommend the bacon, sausage, and mushroom bap—the buns are super soft and fresh, the bacon is thick, and the sausages taste premium. I just wish they were double the size (though my waistline might disagree!). A big thank you from me & Shane

Dropped my Suzuki Vitara car in for a service and one of the sales chaps suggested we try lunch box cafe for our breakfast. Didn't know it was there lol Very glad we found it thou Fantastic breakfast . Very reasonably priced. Heather took over lunch box 4yrs ago ,just before the pandemic bless her. Somehow she survived thru the pandemic and is now looking forward .. Obviously with the current economic situation she sadly regrets she may have to increase her prices a wee bit .. but u know what ? With the quality of food and service she offers I don't think she needs too loose any sleep over it ..:) The cafe is bright and obviously clean .. Table and chairs are provided outside weather permitting. Toilets are in the main building next door
