What is a carvery?

The club emailed me today promoting a Father’s Day ‘carvery’.
I don’t know what that even is.

    You wouldn't like it. It involves whole joints of meat being sliced up in front of you and transferred to your plate. (As in Toby Carvery).

    You’re right.
    The email seems to have been sent out by mistake.

    Father's Day is a date in the calendar when children can celebrate and honour their paternal parent.

    It is a tradition that dates back many centuries and exists in many cultures and religions.

    @UEAAddick has never heard of it.

    I think it’s when your father offers himself as a cannibalistic sacrifice.

    It's an old English tradition whereby you get to go up to a counter housing metal receptacles, each of which is supposed to hold individual elements of a Sunday roast. However, if you get there an hour or so after it has opened, you get the pleasure of finding stuffing on the carpeted floor, peas in the gravy, potatoes mixed up with Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese not only in its receptacle but also all over the counter, barely warm chicken, pork and beef (lamb if you're lucky), and broccoli, carrots, parsnips and swede all combined with one another because individuals can't grasp the concept of using a different utensil for each item of foodstuff.

    Enjoy!

    If people googled everything there would be less conversation and amusing threads.

    Where you pay for a small or medium plate, get your roast meats added to it, then pile it so high with veggies and trimmings that you can barely see over the top of it as you stagger back to your seat buckling under the weight.

    As a Father and loyal Season Ticket holder I am deeply upset that the club haven't contacted me re this! I love a good carve up:smiley:

    A carvery usually describes Tottenham Hotspur's annual trip to Stamford Bridge and the Emirates, where the home team take advantage of the plump roast meat on offer...

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

    However this is a review from a month ago:

    a month ago
    I have had the displeasure of experiencing the catering services provided at my workplace, and to put it bluntly, it was an absolute nightmare. The food served is hands down the worst I've ever had the misfortune of trying. The quality is low, leaving much to be desired. The chicken dishes are consistently undercooked, appearing pink and completely unsuitable for consumption, which is not only unacceptable but also potentially hazardous.
    Moreover, some of the staff responsible for serving the food often exhibit appalling behavior. Their demeanor is consistently rude and impolite.

    Exceptionally low quality food, chicken is disgusting consistently finding grey and weird looking chicken bits no amount of batter can hide that, don’t know what type of fish they use but once again not only does it taste poor but it’s tiny portions and yet they charge decent amount of money ,, Birdseye frozen cod fillets from supermarket are 10x better!

    or

    Embarrassed to have served our guests this food. Appalling rip off too. Order from a chain restaurant instead and get something 10 times as nice for a quarter of the price.

    Reviews found on the suggested Google site.

    Attention seeking at its finest, and a lot of nibblers on here too.
