About

This carvery is a classic hit-or-miss. When it is on, it is a proper British roast that feels like a hug on a plate, with great value and friendly staff. But when it is off, it is a disaster zone with hygiene complaints, long queues, and cold, burnt food. It seems to rely heavily on which staff are working that day.
