Carvery etiquette

[bernardbresslaw]

Just been to the carvery at Cleadon and we were getting the meat put on our plate when a lad pushed in in front of our lass and filled his gravy-stained plate with roast taties & veg. Saw this happen again when we were eating - a lass that had been in the queue with us went back and filled her plate with stuff.
I jokingly said to the missus that they were probably filling up a doggy-bag, then a bloke walks past with a doggy bag
It was like an episode of Partridge, or is this acceptable?

I've put my meat in a few bags but never a doggy.

Your first mistake was going to a carvery, a magnet for greedy chubbers with the table manners of a pig.

Yep, you don't go to a carvery expecting people to follow etiquette. They're designed for pigs who usually pile their plates so high they can't see where they're walking

Deffo against that. I once went to one and a fatty lass was asked...

“Do you want large”

“What do you think” was her answer

She went to the gravy boats and took a whole jug to her table.

I'm a greedy chubber with impeccable manners and etiquette I'll have you know ! .

Just wanted something to eat - normally spend £300 in Romano's for a bit drizzle on a plate but I was bastad starving.

Aye done that, but with a human female person.

Just because its Cleadon does not mean that the afore mentioned establishment will be frequented by fat, greedy ignorant twats. A carvery is a carvery, that's the rules since 1980's at least.

not as bad as the eat-as-much-as-you-can world buffets. people are disgusting.

lasagne with chicken curry all over it. saw a bloke quite literally with piles of rice and chips and everything around his chair on the floor, the remnants of each plate that he'd got sick of half way through. unbelievable wastage

I do it myself when I go to them so hardly taking the moral high ground.

If there are loads of people waiting for someone to carve them a bit beef, why would you wait for an extra couple of toasties.

Anyone who goes to a carvery on a Sunday deserves to wait though tbh

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

I’ve never understood the concept of a carvery. Why not simply have a waiter service?

Because then you only get a meal big enough for a normal person. At a carvery you can be greedy as fuck
