Dipping a chunk of Yorkshire pudding.. then stuffing it shamelessly in one's mouth, licking off said fingers and saying innocently.. thank you

Yorkshire pudding, takes up too much space for too little reward! I will usually go for the roasties rather than mash if that’s an option, and will mound my plate with the parsnips, and maybe the carrots if they have been roasted too rather than boiled

There are loads open.

Toby Carvery is still doing them, and a load are doing it with table service, so they just pile up the stuff you want.

Actually 'beef' gravy is usually ok. Yorkshire puddings are possible but tricky. Roast spuds is easy, just oil & garlic. But yeah I'm guessing a carvery won't be offering the plant based versions.

Salad please..

Yeah I'd rather eat a home roast anyway. Especially after reading about people being served meals with bugs in them at the local Toby Carvery a few years ago

I get severely disappointed if the parsnips are hard or there's no mint or mustard gravy.

what’s in that then? Carrots in another form because I’m sure there’s never any swede in it

Carvery is great if it’s a really good one but most of them serve dried up offerings that have been cooked and kept warm for ages
