Parkside Café at The National Maritime Museum — Restaurant in London

If any of you have any intolerances or allergies, keep away from this establishment. My wife is gluten intolerant. So we arrived at lunchtime (around 1230ish) to find some confusion amongst the staff about where food was to be served. That seemly resolved, we ordered two burgers, one with a GF bun. So we wait….and wait until two cardboard containers of food arrived. ‘Which one is GF?’ we ask. A look of absolute horror passed over this poor girls face. Both containers are returned to the kitchen, only to reappear a few moments later held by another member of staff. There’s been a mix up, would you like to have these returned to the kitchen so a GF bun can be found? Yes, we reply.

Most places offer small servings of warm milk for free, absolute joke that they charged £2 for a “babyccino” when I’d made a big order. It’s generally very busy, used to be more relaxing but seems a...

Came here for a quick bite. So difficult to eat in alone with a toddler. You have to order at the till but know which table number you have so need to reserve it even before ordering. If you order a coffee, they would also make you get up and take it when they can just bring it to your table, seeing that you are alone with a toddler. I had to leave my baby by the table and quickly grab the coffee since I can’t carry both. Please look into making this cafe kids friendly and parent friendly, knowing that we all come here...
