Try it again. That was seven years ago. I ate there Sunday and it was excellent. Good service, clean and a superb meal. Two or three minutes getting your food, but you would wait much longer than that anywhere.ElfsborgAddick said: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.3 -
Add to that you have to go up and queue to get your food. No thanks.Jints said: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.0 -
And that’s where you took me and @bl@blackpool72 when we helped you moved house!!!ElfsborgAddick said:When we moved to Bromley Common in 2017 I thought we'd use the carvery there often as had always found it nice.

But until then our experiences were good.

If this thread keeps going for much longer it will morph into this years 'rate my plate'5

It seems only like yesterday you ripped apart the IKEA wardrobe in two minutes and launched it through the window into the scrap 1 -

When I was a teenager I used to go the carvery in Wrotham road Welling, think it was the Kitchener ? It was dreadful but was like £3.50 midweek but would get it half price because of one of the barmaids, so couldnt knock it really as a skint 18 year old.3

We used to go to one in I think Chislehurst back in the 80s, all you can eat job but only one visit allowed, some of the plates were stacked so well the blokes should have been civil engineers, never understood how they could transport such a mountain of food safely in one go.4

Yeah the Lord Kitchener, they ruined a pub making that a carvery and now it’s a co op and flatsRadostanradical said:When I was a teenager I used to go the carvery in Wrotham road Welling, think it was the Kitchener ?

I was too young to remember it purely as a pub i went once or twice for football presentations, but ultimately it must of changed for a reason. I do remember it had a nice balance of being both a pub and carvery to begin with when it was managed by a guy called Mark (I think ??) who was there quite a few years then it changed management quickly a few times and it became poor pub and poor carvery.cafcdave123 said:

It had a decent sized function hall at the back where the carvery ended up and the front was two separate bars (small saloon bar on the right at the front)Radostanradical said:

Has the Lord Kitchener pub gone now then? - Always remembered it from visiting the shops or going to Wrotham Park for a kick about, especially if I couldnt be bothered to walk down to Dansoncafcdave123 said:

The 7th Carvery under Custer got a bit of a hiding at Little Big Horn.5

I remember seeing a guy at a Pizza Hut in Hong Kong building a salad in one of those tiny little bowls. He was building it up using slices of cucumber to build a circular wall into which he put all the different ingredients, then he “cemented” everything together using the dressing and then started over with cucumber slices. In the end the salad was about 4 inches across and about 10 high. That really was an engineering feat!BrentfordAddick said:We used to go to one in I think Chislehurst back in the 80s, all you can eat job but only one visit allowed, some of the plates were stacked so well the blokes should have been civil engineers, never understood how they could transport such a mountain of food safely in one go.8 -

It was a thing in China at one stage, 'salad stacking' - a protest/challenge of sorts to the fact Pizza Hut brought in a one visit per person rule on the salad cart.Stuart_the_Red said:

Then I think it became a case of people trying to outdo each other etc.
If you Google Pizza Hut salad stacking there's some very impressive ones.

Do you really need it pointing out?seth plum said:
And you are.....?Bedsaddick said:
You’re weirdseth plum said:The club emailed me today promoting a Father’s Day ‘carvery’.
I don’t know what that even is.He is stating the fact that your repetitive, inane posts suggest that you are wierd.
Others on this thread have stated they have come to the conclusion that you are desperately attention seeking.
Yet others have stated you know what a carvery is by highlighting your previous posts.
Hope this simplifies it enough for you.7 -

Only five letters, hope that is simple enough for you to spell correctly.
Weird is supposedly speaking for or interpreting others, when you’re actually speaking for yourself.
