    It's all down to food snobs.
    Or again, people who don't like the choice of food on offer.

    All the while confusing hipsters with smart people. ;)

    This thread in a nutshell: "Oh my god, people don't like what I like! They must be hipsters!" :pac:

    Q: Why did the hipster burn his tongue?

    A: Because he ate his food before it was cool. :)

    Oh man! Carvery is horrendously bad!!

    How anyone forks over cash to be served dried out beef, mushy overcooked vegetables and a dollop of powder-made gravy, I will never know!!

    Where I live in Germany, I can get a Schweinshaxe, Fried Polenta, and Sauerkraut, all washed down by a nice weissbier for about half the price of an Irish carvery.

    My main issue with carvery is that it ruins a Sunday match for me.
    I like nothing better than going to the pub to watch a match with a few mates. Get some wings, ribs, nachos or some such delectable delights to accompany your pints and you're all set.

    Unless of course, it's a Sunday, when if you wish to eat it's a big plate of meat, spuds and gravy. Not match watching food and indeed quite antisocial - dig in lads I got enough mash and gravy to share.

    Also, jesus what's with all the hipster crap, get over yourselves.

    That's what's called a sh*t carvery. Maybe try a good one?

    Why? I like all kinds of movies. That you'd immediately jump to that conclusion shows your ignorance, not mine.

    im very much on the pro carvery side of things but i see your point.a late afternoon kick off is fine but a 12.45 kick off not so much,but for finger food nearly every carvery has chips cocktail sausages and/or goujons on the menu.for platters and stuff just go to a sports bar,the woolshed on parnell st. is good for munchies

    I have to be starving/hungover to have one. They put way too much food on the plate, even on a half portion.

    Do you love standing there with a tray in hand looking for a "chef" to throw a load of food on your plate?

    I think that people here are largely confusing hipsters with snobs. There's a subtle but important difference.
    They're the same in that they're constantly constantly misused. :pac:

    That said, ait up your carvery! :D

    Couldn't care less, it's quick, cheap food. I'm not looking for a dining experience when I go for a carvery.
    Do you like sitting at a table chewing on a bread roll for 20 minutes?

    Im on neither side, i neither like or dislike carvery, it is simply there...BUT it is in no way cheap.

    Again, it depends where you're getting it.
    I can go and spend the guts of a tenner in a chipper or go and spend it on a roast dinner. I know what I'll choose every time.

    I eat out in restaurants quite a bit, carvery is a completely different ball game, I don't know why people are comparing the 2.
    They are literally night and day for me.
    Carvery in the day, restaurant at night.

    Well why not have carvery for those that want to queue up like feeding time in Mountjoy and menu service for those that don't?

    It ain't that hard.
    They do, they just happen to be in seperate buildings. One is a pub the other is a restaurant.

    +1 its food that's fast but not fast food,its informal and its cheap. And to be honest id much prefer roast belly of pork (which i had today)with as much mash,chips and veg as i like than paying top dollar for a few slivers of salmon or other crap served on a bed of whatever some tosser of a chef found growing in his garden that morning.

    Because they don't like being treated like peasants and convicts. When they go out to eat, they want their food delivered to them goddamn it!
