    So tomorrow is the day for the old carvery, pigs slurping at troughs in my opinion. Will have a four course meal myself tomorrow and for those who choose to eat that muck why?

    I lie awake every Saturday night thinking of the carvery lunch on Sunday.


    Will the roasted spuds have completely crystallized under the heaters?


    Will the beef have the taste of wet cardboard and the texture of Lino.


    How often will I puke in the reeking hotel toilets?


    Ah, the carvery.

    When a carvery is done well it's a proper good feed but more often than not, cold mash, frozen chips and beef with all the tenderness of a ten year old Wellington boot does not a nice meal make.

    My sister hates (well la de da...ms fancy food connoisseur) them but I like them. Some of them can actually be good.

    Anytime I mention a carvery I get slagged off from her about them. :(

    A nice turkey carvery, roast potatoes, loads of stuffing, veg and lashings of gravy can't be beat.

    I was in a pub yesterday afternoon and wandered over to the carvery to have a look.
    It looked rank to be honest but the queue of patrons waiting to get the food piled up on their plates is testimony to its popularity.

    Mind you, they probably saw me getting my sandwich and thought I was an awful muck savage too.

    A carvery needs to be busy to produce good food..problem is when a carvery is not busy food over heats and gets dried up..total shoite !

    What does The Bisque deduce from this ?

    If you MUSTuse a carvery ..go to one that is BUSY..you have a reasonable chance of edible nosh.


    I pass on this bit of sage advice absolutely free !

    I can cook a full roast dinner for the same money as a good carvery, and it'll be nicer.

    In saying that though, I was fond of them when young and hungover. Lots of people eat them because they like a big dinner without the expense of a restaurant or the hassle of cooking.

    Did you really have to start a carvery thread? Although, I suppose it's been a few months since the last one. I don't understand why carveries bring out such hatred in some people. It's just food, and nobody is forcing you to eat it. I'm not into it myself but others are. Just leave them to it...

    i love a carvery.
    some places serve up dross but when you find a place or two that does quality, hold it dear.

    personal taste.

    Stormont Hotel in Belfast does a fantastic carvery. VERY expensive though.

    If I want to pig out I prefer the chinese buffet.

    Hmmm, food snobs referring to other people's dinners as muck and slop.

    I like food snobs. Couldn't eat a whole one, though...
