The Dolphin, Betchworth

Very disappointed with our experience here. My 4 year old was walking across to the restaurant when another customer told him to move away from them and to not make any noise (think she was a bit special needs) Anyway, after confronting her, explaining that my son was not making a sound and that she was being quite rude, the Manager came out, listened to her side of the the story and rather than hearing mine, turned to me and said they had a policy that children shouldn't run around in there!! I protested saying he wasn't running, merely walking into the restaurant after I had asked him to (to see if our table was ready). She then said they had a policy that children shouldn't run or WALK!!!! At that point we walked out.... What place doesn't let children walk around on their own?!! What if he needed the loo?! Ridiculous! I advise people not to go there with children.
