    I have not once mentioned vegetarianism on this thread, a bit like it not being mentioned by the caterers..

    But you did get found out for pretending that you didn't know what a carvery was.

    True, eight years ago I thought it was about slicing up a swede.

    The club emailed me today promoting a Father’s Day ‘carvery’.
    I don’t know what that even is.
    You’re weird
    And you are.....?

    This is a new low... In a highlight reel that is full of them. 

    Still though, really made me laugh so can't complain really!   :D

    Whilst I do have some sympathy for our vegetarian & vegan brethren.........

    Nah...sorry I dont.

    More for us carnivores. There will still be veg on offer if you wanted to partake. Otherwise stay at home and talk to the plants.

    (All.said in jest)

    Is that with or without old doors up the sides?

    I love roasts but hate a carvery. Poor quality meet cooked hours before and left to dry out under heated lights, over cooked veg, uncrispy roast spuds, rock hard or completely soggy yorkies. Ugh. 

    With the exception of places like Hawksmoor and a few very good pubs, a roast is better cooked and eaten at home.

    Totally agree. 

    I did go Blackrock last week and the roast meat was exceptional, but the potatoes I could of done better indoors.

    Roasties and Yorkshires just don't hold very well or reheat very well. Never as good as home, I agree.

    We had a lovely roast at The Ragged Trousers in The Pantiles Tunbridge Wells a couple of weeks ago.

    When we moved to Bromley Common in 2017 I thought we'd use the carvery there often as had always found it nice.
    We hardly used it, it became so popular that the adjacent bar became an overspill for the carvery, the place was dirty, you had to wait so long to get your food.

    I thought it was the hill JC was crucified on.

    I’m sure there’s an awful ‘nailed on’ pun there somewhere but I can’t find it.
