To be shocked at what I saw at a Toby Carvery?

[PipkinsPal]

I went to a Toby Carvery the other day. I had two types of meat, a Yorkshire pudding, veg and gravy. I had a good sized portion, ate it all and didn't feel the need to go up again. I'm quite smug that I know how much to put on my plate without wasting it.

However, I could see the gravy/sauce table from where I was sitting and saw a few very overweight young people, late teens/early 20's with 3 - yes 3 Yorkshire puddings on their plates, a mound of veg and ladling on bucketfuls of gravy.

Surely this is not normal and they were just greedy.

I don't like carveries, but then I don't really like roast dinners in general so that probably has something to do with it!

I prefer the scampi and chips in my local Fayre & Square. Plus it's 2 for £10 and has a soft play attached. Win, win, win

YANBU, OP.

I was shocked and saddened by the amount of food being piled onto plates at the ChainPubOfYourChoice I was at the other day.

I literally couldn't believe my eyes. I had to prop up the bar drinking large gins for almost four hours just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

Yabvvvu. I rarely go out to eat, but when I do I like to pile my plate high. It's a treat that I don't do often. Hoick your judgy pant up a bit more!

Trackies would be perfect I would imagine. Plenty of stretch!

my mother in law is obsessed with having a 'small' portion all the time and regularly comments on the amount I eat, then moans and groans for hours about how full she is. Guess which of us is a size 10 and who is a 16 14?

It is so fecking rude. Her own daughter as a teenager had an eating disorder

I am a size 10-12 work out 40 mins a day if that helps dispel tge image of me you have!

Poor Tethers. That sounds awful

Their vegetarian options seem quite good now. Just had a look at their menu. I've never tried a TobyCarvery though. I might now.

If you happened to be in the vicinity of my sister eating a Sunday lunch, you'd have needed 2 sets of pearls to clutch.
She's the yorkie monster, can easily polish off 6 with her lunch and she's skinny as a rake. She manages restraint at all other times and is just a pud piggy :)

Don't judge op, you're there to enjoy a meal with however much you deem fit to load on your plate, as are others.

You always get the greedy types at self service places. I think some see it as 'eat as much as you can' rather than want.

cat most people aren't I promise.

You are all shits. I'm doing seven hour lamb, it's still got fours hours to go, but I WANT IT NOW, since reading this thread. And I'll be doing 12 Yorkshire puddings. And now I have to go and get a fucking cauliflower because fucking Usual mentioned fucking caulifuckingflower fucking cheese.

Thanks - sorry, that post was a bit of a pity party, just feeling very down about myself at the moment. Hopefully I can find the motivation to do something about it this Summer hol.

If I went to an all you can eat carvery, I would expect all the Yorkshires I could eat too, and would become quite argumentative if I could only have two.

Why on earth would they restrict what's probably the cheapest part of the meal to provide? I'd be surprised if the ingredients cost more than tuppence.

I love tiffins in cwmbran an all you can eat Indian buffet. Also love peachy keans a mix of diffrent foods.

We're bbqing later but right now I fancy roast beef and alllllllll of the trimmings with thick gravy.

If everyone had all you can eat for every dinner, probably not so great. Once a week/month/year...so what!
And I realyl am craving a roast dinner now, but can't be arsed cooking. Grump.

FFS It's their life and their choice, I've now got my judgy knickers pulled upto my ears.

Nobody is bloody perfect, and it makes me sad to think that as a society, I can't go out without the thought that I'm being judged for everything I do, why didn't you go upto them at the time and say, "Do you need 3 Yorkshires?? It's a little piggish isn't it?"

But no you come onto a forum and sound off, if your not prepared to say something at the time, don't say anything.

Can you tell I'm having a bad day!!

You've got fours hours, come over to mine Usual

Toby cavery also do an unlimited breakfast for £3.99

Randall - I always have scampi and chips the first time I eat somewhere. If they can't get that right, I don't go back!
