Thanks Lisa I appreciate your comment and your support for my channel 👍👍

[@rolybellamy956]

if they cut that meat any thinner , they'd miss it !

[@Stockybloke]

So many people have said the same.

[@colinraine8245]

I was thinking exactly the same

[@Röbb_83]

One slice of each meat?. Think I’d have had to say something about that mate

[@Stockybloke]

It’s plentiful for me Rob

[@rodent1960]

King size = 1 slice instead of 1/2 a slice 😅

[@Stockybloke]

😂😂

[@Glen-aka_M.M]

See you tomorrow Greg. Good review as always. N glad your scores are more considered. Or appear to b!! 😊

[@Juls27989]

Looks lovely, but how much thinner did he want to cut the meat ?

[@Stockybloke]

I know Julie it was like tracing paper. I just released the Andrew Arms look how thick them slices are. 😋

[@DannyHamilton-ib9wm]

Scrimping on the meat carving,.almost see through and small portions,.take the Yorkshire fillers of the plate and there isnt a lot on serving.😢

[@Stockybloke]

Quite a few said the same thing, Danny

[@alanthomson1227]

If you look closely meats are hidden under peas 23, and 24 .

[@Stockybloke]

They are stingy with the meats 😡

[@JohnWalker-ho4gl]

Is it a one hit pass through the carvery or can you go back for seconds or more gravy for instance ?

[@Stockybloke]

Eat as much as you like John, however you only get one pass on the meat.

[@glenmason1876]

Hi Greg, that looked very nice, good value, do you have to book, or can you just go

[@Stockybloke]

No just turn up, however best to book

[@Pighood]

That looks AMAZING

[@Stockybloke]

It was well worth the visit and a great recommendation from Phil 😋😋👍

[@robbflynn4325]

For a great carvery try the one at Lymewood Farm, near Haydock just off the East Lancs. Great deserts also. Used to go there for the Tuesday night quiz.

[@Stockybloke]

Cheers Rob if I’m in the area I’ll definitely take a look 👀 👍

[@michaelmarsh-bl9mg]

Indeed that is local to me and is much better than any Toby place.

What a crap portion of meat.He was slicing as little as possible of each joint of meat.

[@Stockybloke]

It was like tracing paper with all the meats. 😡

[@garylivesey7571]

I think it was nice but for me you both went for king size you still only got 1 thin sliver of meat cos that is the mainstay of a roast dinner they filled the plate with 2 big Yorkshires so it looks like the plate is very full but thats just me Greg and Phil great video😋😋

[@Stockybloke]

Thanks for your feedback Gary it really appreciated, as you say each to there own. I must have had 50% feedback say about the meat being cut to thinly 👍

Not just me then Greg i would have said scuse me mate could you cut some meat off there only that wouldn't feed my pet owl!!🤣

[@Stockybloke]

Hi Rick yeah I thought the same thing about the Mac n cheese, also he cut the meat very tiny. Otherwise it was firs class. 😋😋

[@rickb3645]

@@Stockybloke Yeah mate... Unfortunately whenever you get a carvery these days... They like to slice the various meats they have on offer... As thinly as is humanly possible... I just wish that they would allow you to pay an extra couple of quid for double the meat portions... I remember a few years ago... My family and i visited a carvery... And they had just brought in a brand new freshly cooked whole Turkey... And as they removed the carcass of the previous Turkey... The carver then asked me if i minded some of the trimmings from the previous Turkey... That were laying on the square shaped metal heating plate where the new Turkey had just been placed... And naturally i said that i didn't mind... What i thought he meant by that... Was that he was going to carve the new Turkey and put a couple of fresh slices on my plate... And then i thought that i would get the extra Turkey meat trimmings that had dropped off onto the square metal hot plate... Rather than him throwing it away in the bin... But i soon realised that what he had meant all along... Was that he was going to pick up all the tiny scraps that had fallen from the previous Turkey... And i didn't end up getting a single slice carved from the fresh Turkey... I was genuinely gobsmacked that he did this... But because there was such a large queue behind me... I didn't want to stand there and call him out on what he had done... So i just shook my head in disbelief and added my other carvery food items... Never before have i ever been the first customer to get the first slices from a freshly cooked Turkey at a carvery... And i couldn't actually believe that i had missed out on my one and only opportunity. 😭
