The Bold Forester, Sarisbury Green

Went to The Bold Forester for my a birthday meal, went late sunday when it was almost empty, waited 45 mins for starters that came out late, burnt or not at all. Mains came over an hour later and were for the price tiny, burnt and a steak and ale pie having no meat in it at all, but the landlord said that it's just how the pies are made, and no apology was given

Then we asked for some more drinks, they said they would be over shortly, 25mins later no sign of them and when we went and asked again we got a nice snap back of "okay i'm coming".

If this wasnt bad enough after ordering 6 desserts and waiting 45 minutes for these, they were stone cold and still had to ask 7 times for some of them. And one of them never came and when asked again they told us they sold out, but never told us.

We then pulled the manager, to tell how bad the 3 hour meal had been, but was snapped at saying it wasnt her fault, that the kitchen staff let us down. But would not accept that as the manager did not take responsibility.

It seems that our experience seems so common, but it used to be a lovely restuarant.

To sum up, my nans birthday meal was completely ruined, and just left everyone is anger.
