"I have to say since having my baby, I’ve been here twice, and it’s the most unwelcoming place I’ve felt being a Mum. The first experience, I had to change my baby on the floor of the toilets as there are no baby changing facilities available. (A mat you can place on the floor is kindly leant against the wall of the ladies toilets. That’s the extent of it . When booking with a high chair, there is no mention that there is no designated baby changing facilities. The second time I came I just didn’t bother trying, as I was advised that a table can be moved into the ladies loo if I don’t want to change her on the floor. We were kindly given a high chair as requested. However the type of high chair provided, my daughter is just ever so slightly still too small for (she is 13 months-the straps just don’t hold her in enough, not a fault of the pub, just a generic high chair that we aren’t quite ready for, in some places we’ve been the straps have been secure enough but sadly this one was not . So I decided to get my pushchair in and use that for her to sit and eat in so she’s safely secure. When it came to the attention of the staff that I was going to get the push chair, I have to say I have never been made to feel more of an inconvenience than I was today. Since having my child. I was met with comments “you’re going to get your push chair!?” Like it was a travesty. And then met with an enormous amount of comments, looks and whispers and fussing around me, about how this was going to take up too much room, we’d inconvenience other guests (may I add no one came to sit at the table we were next to at the time for the entirety of our stay!? , there was ample room for someone to sit and not be anywhere near the pram. But instead we had to take all our things and move…right in the doorway!? Where the pram was then right in the way of everyone coming in and out or passing to the main restaurant. I have never been treated so poorly in any establishment since becoming a Mum. It’s played on my mind all day and quite frankly I feel humiliated. I wish I’d known this before coming and I won’t be going again, and I want to as a Mum, let other Mums know. And give the restaurant a chance to accept my feedback and maybe make small changes to be more welcoming to mums with small children. There was another family with a baby in a pram across the way, I don’t think they received the same treatment, but I would stress this is not a baby friendly restaurant at all at the moment. My advice as a mother, is if someone calls to advise of a baby on the booking, advice them that there are no baby facilities, even if you have plans to add it in, it’s not there now and changing a baby on the floor is not acceptable or sanitary, bringing in a table without relevant safety features is equally not acceptable. In addition, be aware that some people may be bringing a pram as well as the need for a high chair. Every mother has a different scenario they bring when going out with their children."

"We booked a table for lunch for a special family celebration. Have eaten here previously and have always been impressed with the food here, but today was an absolute disappointment. Starters were fine, but main meals and desserts were a let down. Food was very bland, vegetables had been warmed through in a microwave. Everything out of a packet/tin, nothing was homemade. Such a shame. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for somewhere special."

"the restaurant was very clean and tidy eating was prompt and pizza, where all baked on the show with the open kitchen. they have also adapted the elements of the menu to sort children's shares and prices in which they were drawn to the suits. onky cache that was a bit of a grip was that the service fee was added to the bill, personal preference, but I prefer to type what they got and a bigger tip then the 10,% but what if the service was not standard? it then leaves a very unpleasant conversation to have it removed."

"take these youngs very last minute to see if we recommend a camping place, explains that we don't get there until 11 o'clock. they kindly explained that they would be closed and could not admit anyone after this time, which was fair enough. 10 minutes later, a coworker of that had the ease of calling me back and offering a place if we could pay via the phone (what we liked to do) not many people would be so thoughtful that they would do that very much. Unfortunately had no chance for a pint, but we will definitely be back at the next use of the tunnel. stay here, drink her beer and eat her"

"The restaurant has only a few tables, making it fairly quiet, but the log burner and heating keep it nice and warm. This was our second time having lunch here with my elderly parents and we all enjoyed the food and hospitality. It's a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth a visit. It's nice to support a local business, even though we live in Hythe, we still think of Burmarsh as local. We're excited to try their pizza night with an Italian chef. The price per person ranges from £10 to £20."
