    It's real gravy. Made from the juices of the cooked meats. Not your instant ****e!

    Really? I've eaten some carvery meals that were clearly made with Bisto or the like.

    @OP - It would vary from place to place. Your best bet would be to ask one of the staff.

    I would have thought a lot would be packet too.

    There might be a brand many use, like how a lot of italian chippers have the same or very similar curry sauces.

    I like browsing on musgraves cash & carry site. They have a "pub range" section in it and it is listing knorr, oxo and SFC brands of gravy in it.

    I make my own and it tastes even nicer than carvery gravy.

    Get two tablespoons of Quixo gravy granules, available from Aldi, throw in a Knorr Rich Beef Stockpot and a teaspoon of Bovril, top halfway with boiling water.
    Boil it, simmer it, stir it.
    Delicious.

    Full of salt, but sure what the heck...

    I found these very good, I thought they were expensive but 1 little pot does 500ml, so I only need half one and stuck the other bit in the freezer, which actually did not really freeze. The larger packs with 8 are a lot cheaper per unit that the 4 packs, in tesco anyway.

    I fried off an onion on a low heat stirred the pot in with water and liquidised it. I added a little cold water mixed with cornflour to thicken it but it was already quite thick.

    Yeah they're a bit pricey alright. Getting the Rich Beef one as opposed to the normal Beef one makes all the difference in flavour.

    I make my own and it was famous in a pub in Harolds Cross for its taste

    I used -

    The juice off the beef and the turkey after roasting. (I cooked them on steam then roast to get plenty)
    Beef Bouillon
    Chicken Bouillon
    Gravy Browning

    Thickened with a roux

    I still get people asking me for it 4 years after leaving the pub
