During our recent visit to The Aviary I was embarrassed when a member of staff complained that a number of people had changed their order.
The reason for providing menu choices in advance is to ensure everyone is catered for and to enable kitchen staff to start preparation, taking into account that they were also fully booked.
These comments don’t apply to those who ordered an additional course on the day.
It is disappointing that some people don’t realise how many hours are taken up organising these events – chasing up menu slips, counting and collating choices, typing the order and taking it to the restaurant.
I would appreciate your co-operation in future.
