Over the bank holiday we decided to take the train to Portsmouth. We have a direct route that only takes about an hour and 20 minutes. Henry seems to enjoy his trips on the trains. After a pleasant journey we arrived at our destination. Just a short walk from the station we arrived at the shopping precinct. There are shops to suit all pockets, deep or sown up!
Another reason for going there was to have a walk around the harbour area and to see the Spinnaker Tower a recent addition to the sky line of Portsmouth. We wandered around looking at the boats for a good hour to allow Henry his morning nap.
It was soon time to decide where we should have lunch, there are many places to chose from. Craig fancied a grill as we have been to a number of Italian restaurants recently. We found Tootsies, the menu was appealing, the staff found us a good table with plenty of space. The high chair was an extension to a normal chair which enabled Henry to sit closer to the table to eat his lunch.
After lunch it was time for the usual clean-ups. The baby changing room was in the disabled toilet, the area was nice and clean.
Our visit to this part of Portsmouth will definitely encourage us to visit again. We had a great family day out!
Over all I give Tootsies 4.5* out of a possible 5
Access: Very good, but not sure how we would have got on if Henry was still little and needed to be left in his pram. There wasn't much room around the table so we had to leave the push chair by the door.
Welcome: Very good, friendly service.
Cleanliness: Average, clean facilities.
High Chair: Great, I love it when Henry can sit right up to the table.
Coffee & Cake: Kind of slacking here, we did not try any as we fancied an icecream which we didn't get in the end!
