The Old Forge, Otterbourne

I am a regular diner as part of a group of typically 8-12 people a time from a large local office. Service has become noticeably slower over the months. The kitchen has not got to grips with the new menu at all - starters are cold and most worryingly the chicken supreme dish is consistently being served raw - yes - raw chicken in breadcrumbs from the fixed price menu. The young waitress really didn't understand the seriousness of this. The manager did apologise and it was removed from the bill - however it was all so late that we were unable to wait for replacement dishes to be cooked from scratch. On this last visit we simply paid what we thought the meal was worth in view of the service, cold starters and dangerous chicken. We will not be rushing to return.
