Carvery Dinners

Yeah, plenty of Carvery Dinners if you know where to go. I've been to the Poitin Stil a few times and they do a Sunday Carvery there. There's Darcy McGees at Spawell in Templeogue. The Red Cow Inn does a Sunday Carvery as well. Just to name a few.

Has something happened to Boards.ie lately. We've had the re hash of the washing new clothes, shoe policy in your house, how often do you shower and now the carvery dinner thread.

I never liked carvery food. You can taste and smell all the other food from your dinner, probably because it's all contained under the same heat lamps. Plus the clientele who frequent these joints look like they've already given up on life.

Barrack Obama Plaza Carvery .. noms. I assume the other plaza group locations have the same.

I concur on the prices, a lot of them have gone too expensive, a plate of food that you collect and bring to your seat.

restaurant prices in some cases…I think 11-12 euros is or should be absolute tops for a large plate….the only thing costing the pub money food wise is the meat, veg costs them feck all…

2-3 chefs, a server, maybe 2, …..lounge staff and bar staff are in situ anyway.

a pub near me must serve around 250-300 carvery dinners between 12 and 3. That’s a conservative guess.

if the average spend with drinks or dessert is 20 euros…that’s up to around 6000 euros a day and on Sunday double it.

guts of 50 grand a week…

People who get carvery dinners have given up on life?

In a very, very populated list, that is easily one of the most stupid, ignorant and downright illogical sentences i have ever read.

was in the Coachman’s last week. Excellent grub, huge portions and superb staff… +1 for oNeills.

People seem to judge carvery food by the size of the portion rather than then quality. Most places serve cheap reheated food and pretend to have chefs working there when in reality they just buy tehnstuff in cooked and heat it up.

Best avoided in my opinion. I actually find a lot of pub food unimaginative. Outside of carvery it’s usually burgers, curry and salmon. Prefer to eat in local cafes and restaurants.

Manowar, North county Dublin.

They do a carvery sandwich with chips for a tenner. It's the business.

We are just missing a “I found a safe in my backyard” thread

Ffs.

people who want to eat a carvery meal, want to eat out… not stay home and rustle up anything or clean up after.

carvery is muck ? It simply isn’t..

Some odd judgements going on, I don’t like carvery but a few years back on a building site a few of the apprentices were talking about going for a carvery on a Sunday afternoon, not together to be clear they were just talking about how they love going for a carvery on a Sunday which I thought odd for a bunch of 18-22 year olds.

Always thought carvery is the kind of food that's not eaten for taste but rather purely for fuel similar to the food served to workers in communist countries.

The smell of the stuff in a pub is enough to put me off. Wouldn't consider the pubs that serve this kind of stuff as real pubs either. Always served in massive pubs with equally massive carparks to match.

I'd go for chipper or McDonald's/BK anyway of the week over carvery. At least chipper food is actually tasty.

I'm looking forward to Wibb's "debut" in the etiquette thread.😁

If they are above you it makes them much harder to eat.

If you are around Suffolk St O’Neills is class.. or certainly was last time I’m there… being going there 12 years so imagine still is.

The Jackson hotel on Harcourt street do a nice carvery.

Haven't had one in years, you'd need a sleep after eating one for lunch and heading back to the office for the afternoon.

A good carvery is hard to find, it's real quantity over quality in most.
