The Aviary, Whalley — Restaurant in Ribble Valley

Very disappointing, I hired the top private area for my 50th birthday because you have your own bar and bartender for the night at a cost of £150, the idea was myself and guests don't need to queue with Joe public to get a drink. Upon arrival I found that the beer taps don't work and they don't do cocktails at this bar you could only get spirits and wine... so what have I paid for?, because most of my guests had to spend 15 mins at the main bar waiting to be served. Another thing was people were just able to walk up from beside the DJ, I spend a far bit of MY party telling people it was a private party, most apologised and left but one guy in particular refused to leave saying he owned place, my husband got very mad at him and despite this all happening at our bar the girl still served him.

We have been to the standard bottomless brunches in the past and loved it, this has put me off...

Bouncers on the front door wouldn’t let me and my friend in because we were wearing “cargos”, we’ve been in hundreds of times before in cargos with no issue. Bouncer then proceeded to let another gentleman in who was wearing skinny fit denim shorts and a hoodie. Makes no sense why we weren’t allowed in when the others who were not dressed as smart as us were.

When I questioned the bouncer who was wearing what appeared to be skinny fit spray on grey pants which barely went past his ankles, he responded by calling me a racial slur. Me and my mates won’t go back again because it’s normally a shit anyway just wanted somewhere to...
