Why We Chose This Place
The location was what drew us to this carvery. (Two other carveries are in Watford). We'd looked at other places friends recommended, such as The Hare, but we weren't that hungry having had a late Sunday lunch and tea, so we didn't want to spend £15 or £20 on a main course, then coffees, drinks, service, it soon mounts up.
The car park is huge, no trouble parking. The art deco outside is a delight. In summer you can arrive for dinner after 8 pm and still see the white swans on the lido, which looks like a lake, and green trees.
We paid for our order and took the tickets. The carver offered a choice of four meats, chicken, lamb, pork, gammon. I have to admit the carver meats were dry, the greens, a bit limp, the potatoes so-so.
The high point was the view. So delightful to sit looking out at the Lido. It reminded me of a river through the Rhine.
The service was a delight. The man on the carver told us amusing tales of his life in the army. Whilst we were collecting our food, our drinks disappeared from our table, but they were willingly and immediately replaced.
We were too full for the desserts we had ordered. They did not have tubs, only paper bags. So we changed an order from chocolate Sundae to chocolate cake.
When I got home I found my apple crumble was a delight. Very pleased with the choice, I must admit the food was disappointing. Next winter when it's too dark to see the view, I'll try another carvery.
Price
Pricewise, it's not as cheap as you might expect on a Sunday night. No special deals, which you get mid-day mid-week.
If you are watching your budget, the small carver is quite big enough. The bigger size and price gives you a sausage and a second piece of Yorkshire pudding, neither of which we needed.
