Longshoot - Pub & Carvery Reviews Summary

Carvery Quality

Pros:

• "The carvery was lovely and the staff were equally lovely, very attentive and helpful."
• "Carvery offers lot of side choices and meat was nicely cooked and juicy."
• "The meat was good, well portioned... The stuffing was amazing, beats Toby carvery personally speaking..."
• "Probably the best carvery I’ve had in a long time! Trio of meats, all beautiful!"
• "The meat melted in my mouth and was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were wonderfully fresh and tasty too."
• "Food was excellent really good choice of three carvery meats and wide choice of freshly cooked vegetables."
• "The carvery was very tasty (I had roast beef and it was cooked just right) and great value for money."
• "Very nice carvery meals three choices of plate size, small, standard or large and all three are cheaper on weekdays."

Cons:

• "Meat can be chewy and vegetables are left to go mushy, my cauliflower tasted like it had gone off, meat was tasteless."
• "Flies flying round the meat one actually landed on the metal plate the turkey was sat on."
• "Roast beef was so tough you couldn't even cut it with a steak knife, all veg very very aldente, new potatoes extremely hard."
• "Carvery meat wasn't up to usual standards, bland. Roasters, stuffing, mash, peas and gravy were not good either."
• "Very stingy on meat portions and the woman carving the meat touched it with her BARE hands. Veg was dry and the Yorkshire pudding was soggy."
• "Meat was tough, gravy not great and though I quite like my vegetables with a bit of bite to them, these could have done with being in the water a bit longer."
• "Carvery veg was overcooked and the mashed potato tasted like it had been reconstituted."
• "For a carvery to not have any turkey by 5 on a Sunday and then after half an hour no gammon is just ridiculous."
