Mum furious after being told breastfeeding in pub is 'not acceptable on a busy Friday night'

An Oldham pub has issued a public apology after telling a mum breastfeeding was 'not acceptable' during a busy Friday night. The woman, who claimed she was booted out of the venue with her family and children over the weekend, left a scathing review on Facebook.

Natalie Hetherington-Heywood visited the Angel Inn, in Lees, with her family last Friday evening (August 5), along with two dogs and a baby. She claimed that her party were initially welcomed into the pub, before then being told children and dogs were not allowed in after 8.30pm and asked to leave.

In the review, she said that the customer service was 'shocking' and that they were asked to leave midway through their drinks that they had already been served. The venue quickly replied, confirming that children and dogs are not typically allowed in on Friday evenings, but said the pub allowed them to finish their drinks as they had ordered them before mentioning they were part of the party.
