Was Vicki Radford at The Old Forge Kitchen a mag?
Found by chance thanks to a 'Food nearest me ' map search while working in Elstow Waihou. What a great find! Great coffee and if there was an award for the best custard square (we need one) they would win. I stopped for an afternoon coffee break, but definitely coming back to try the menu. Wonderful setting, great destination and would be an amazing venue for weddings, office parties , you name it. They also have gif... View all feedback.

What Erin Bruintjes dislikes about The Old Forge Kitchen:
The manager was very rude and cannot cope with large parties. Rude to the guests and made snarky comments. I would definitely not go there again and will never recommend to others. You would think a polite large group of people spending a lot of money would of had good service. Meal type: Lunch View all feedback.
