I don't think this will happen there will always be a place for the carvery as the hipster's get older they too will want a decent amount of food at a relatively cheap price. Mass is dying out because it is too fancy all that ceremony, and all you get is a small wafer thing. No variety in it Then they expect you give money twice during your stay there It is not good value food wise, at mass.

That every stew is created from scratch? That the soup is specially prepared? Some carverys - the slow moving ones - can be crap. I won’t mention any names. The ones that let the good go cold. On the other hand the fast moving ones (both O’Neills) tend to be fine. And they are actually healthier than most.
