    Best not to go to a carvery in a franchise pub. They tend to go very cheap and pay peanuts to the staff. Find yourself a little independent pub, with specialist ales and you'll eat a hearty meal that is tasty and good for you.

    How can a taxi driver get lost, How can a pilot crash, how can an escort give bad service? Being qualified is no indicator as to wether someone is good at their job. And just because you do not like it does not mean it is bad, different tastes for different people.

    first my good man Clyde how do you know there was a chef and a qualified chef at that? more and more places are been run by acconats and not chefs and sorry to say it is getting more and more common that places will not pay the wages to get good chefs and dont come back and say you seen a chef in hes unform as it was probly some one wearing a chefs unform.

    next point dont judge every carvy the same as they are not, there are still some good chefs that pake pride in there work and they have good carverys with nicely cooked veg not sitting in water and nice creamed spuds with real butter and cream not milk and butter spread.

    as for all the meat been over cooked that is not true about every carvy some place batch cook the food so they keep filling the cavery up with fresh food. BUT i am sorry to say I do know the type of carvy you are on about Clyde, just trowen up with out a shit give by some one in a chefs unfore who cant finsh work fast enught they are bringing down the place they work in and also them selfs.

    Never presume that the chef is good, or qualified. A friend of mine had a flair for fancy cooking, he worked in a Paris restaurant for a few months, then went to America and decided to pass himself off as a chef, he got a job in a place where his main responsibility was to make Irish stew. He had to ring his mammy to find out how to make it.
