Homesick Brits are tucking in at a Toby Carvery look-alike at a popular holiday hotspot but there is a catch as it is hitting them harder in the pocket. Holidaymakers have applauded the restaurant for its take on the popular chain as punters are now getting their meat and veg fix in the sun.
The Carvery, located in Malaga, Spain, has become extremely popular with Brits abroad. But the eatery’s take on the traditional item costs a whopping £10 more than Toby Carvery’s main dish – with Brits forking out £17.13 for the meal,
Despite paying more, punters are encouraged to head back to the carvery station as much as they like, reported by What’s The Jam. The hefty portion offers an option of five meats at all times – pork, turkey, ham, beef and lamb and then diners can pile up their plates with seasonal vegetables, roast and mashed potatoes, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding along with a big dollop of gravy.
The popular spot even caters to vegans and veggies with two delicious alternatives. The £11.60, meat-free carvery comes with fresh veg, roast spuds and vegan stuffing and gravy.
The Carvery Company stated: “We believe you should enjoy as much as you like – so feel free to go back for more from our carvery station. We pride ourselves on using the finest cuts of meats to give you the best quality carvery, where you will not leave hungry. Every part of the Carvery buffet is crafted with care and attention for you to create the perfect meal, don’t forget the gravy.
“At The Carvery we welcome guests from all over the world, whether you re a local or visiting from abroad, we are here to give you a taste of home cooking. Our friendly Carvery team are dedicated to making sure you have an unforgettable experience.”
Meanwhile, back in the UK the boss of Toby Carvery has been forced to apologise after the company cut down an ancient oak tree thought to be 500 years old. The tree, which has a girth of 6.1 metres, stood near the car park of the Whitewebbs House Toby Carvery in north London.
It had been assessed as dying and a risk to the public by tree experts employed by the company’s owner Mitchells & Butlers, and was cut down on April 3.
But its felling caused a massive backlash from locals and environmental campaigners. Now Phil Urban, from Mitchells & Butlers, has responded: “Clearly the felling of a beautiful old tree is a very emotive subject and is not something any of us would undertake lightly. I can only apologise for all the upset that it has caused.”
Enfield Council reported the matter to the Metropolitan Police earlier and said they were treating it as criminal damage. It has also put an emergency preservation order in place on the base of the stump. Environmental campaigners and locals attacked the tree’s destruction as “devastating” and compared it to the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree in 2023.
