The George, Earley

In the past we have really enjoyed our food and drink and atmosphere in this pub. The food is not cheap but generally good. Yes sometimes it gets very busy so you can understand delays but when just the two of us went there for my husbands birthday early Sunday evening it was not busy.
It started with my husbands starters of spicy chicken beeing raw and they had to be sent back, they did replace them but by then of course I had finished my mushrooms.
We then ordered the venison from the special board which we had previously enjoyed. The waitress later confirmed our order to us as venison pie which we said we didn't order. The answer was the venison is off so have the pie which I didn't want (it is also considerably cheaper) I re-ordered. The meals had not arrived after an hour despite people ordering after us being served. We asked for a refund and left.
Why can't they update the special board like other pubs when they have finished so if the food you want is not available you can go somewhere else. Needless to say we shall be doing that in the future,
