      It’s been two years since I’ve visited The Parade Tearooms in Southsea (until now that is). Some may find that hard to believe as lots of people love it and return again and again. On our very first visit soon after they opened, we were disappointed and I think we made one more trip to […]

    UPDATE 05/04/2018:  Is now called ‘Sants’ (no good if you have a lisp…I think they could have come up with a better name than that to be honest). Although we haven’t been there yet, I’ve heard that it’s much the same menu as Sant Yago who own it. Old Tom’s in Castle Road, Southsea opened […]
