Lunch in Waterford

Laura_lolly87

I spend most weekends in Waterford and stay with friends. We very rarely go out for dinner but I was just wondering if there is anywhere in the Waterford city/ Tramore area that does a nice carvery dinner on a Sunday. We were in the city today and couldn't seem to find anywhere that does.

Any sugestions? Thanks in advance.

The Showboat in the Glen, cheap and good.

Can't go wrong with the Granville Hotel, has been the best carvery in town for a number of years imo. They also do a lovely Bacon & Cabbage in the bar aswell.

Well dont come to my gaff for a carvery whatever you do!! i cooked a roast beef dinner on Saturday, roast and mashed spuds/puds the lot!! smelt deadly and all.. was getting the gravy ready and all... this was gonna be the best dinner ever!!...

... then i copped that the closest thing i had to a carving knife was a blunt bread knife!! :-( disaster!! Each slice was a like 10oz steak they were that thick haha

Opps.. well at least i know next time.. it did taste lovely though :-)

I give myself a 10 outta 10 for effort (Mainly because my hands were killing me trying to cut it)

Good god! What happened the days when you could ask a neighbour for a lend of something like a knife to cut the Roast Bafe!! T'wud probably be called knife crime nowadays.

Gone me the days huh? Its all paranoia these days haha

Its all rented accommodation up my way, youd be lucky to find someone with a butter knife, never mind a carving knife

What's do people go to carvery. Unless you hit every thing spot on timing wise your eating food thats sat under heat lamps for anything up to an hour

could say the same for any garage at lunchtime that has a deli counter... or any factory or business that have a hot canteen.. every factory or business i have worked in is like that..

True Most garages are the same, hot chicken that's sat for too long or sausages begging to be thrown out they are so shrivelled. personally would only buy a cold meat sandwich/roll if in there.

Never worked anyplace with canteen so cant comment on that

My point is if your heading to town as OP enquired why go some place where you have a good chance of eating dried out food that sat under a heat lamp, when for same price you could have something freshly cooked that's gotta taste much nicer

Halfway House on Tramore Road is good, nice generous servings. Parents say Showboat is nice too!

Apparently the Majestic in Tramore does a Sunday carvery for a tenner, its ment to be nice

Definitely try The Seahorse Tavern in Tramore. They do a roast dinner special for ten euro. Rest of the menu is lovely too.
