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

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.

Eh?

The whole point of a Toby Carvery is to pile your plate up.

Although I have a friend who used to work there and now know things I wish I didn't!

Ha! One Yorkshire pudding is a crime, two minimum I say...

It's a date, Sauv.

Especially as the one Harold linked to does free ice cream too!
Do all of them do that? Actual ice cream? For no money?

Eunoch has been doing the rounds on MN for a few days now.

YABU
They were mainly eating veg. Why is that an issue?
£ YP, deal with it. Maybe they wanted some carbs.

HoneyDragon · 20/07/2014 13:52

Oh so just randomly directed pointless rage then? How charming.

I still haven't got a cauliflower.

RandallFloyd · 20/07/2014 13:52

Hold the fucking phone.
They do all you can eat breakfast?
Is there black pudding, and hash browns and, and mushrooms and beans and bacon and sausages, and toast and... And you can have fizzy pop with it?

Beeyump · 20/07/2014 13:52

'laid once a month'. Ahh, fond sigh...

Fizzy pop in a pint glass

SauvignonBlanche · 20/07/2014 13:53

I've just looked, they don't do Black pudding so I'm not impressed.

RandallFloyd · 20/07/2014 13:53

Bottomless ice cream. Such a dream doesn't exist surely.

YADBU OP.. It's a treat for most people!
This thread had made me hungry & all i've got that will go with gravy is chicken & chips Sad The closest Toby is over 20 miles away!

ICanSeeTheSun · 20/07/2014 13:54

I love the bottomless custard pot, I love my custard.

RandallFloyd · 20/07/2014 13:54

Shit in my toenails? How is that even possible?

Anyway.
No black pudding you say. Disappointing.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 20/07/2014 13:54

Black pudding, mmnn.
< smacks lips together>

cardibach · 20/07/2014 13:55

You know how it is rarely right to comment on a poster's grammar/spelling? I think this is one where I can forgive myself. It's buckets full of gravy, OP, buckets full. Not bucketfuls.

Are you enjoying the school holidays eunuch?
Off to the high school in the new term are you? How exciting! Grin
