Carvery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A carvery is a restaurant or buffet where meat is freshly sliced to order for customers, sometimes offering unlimited servings for a fixed price. The term is most commonly used in the United Kingdom.

Carveries are often found in pubs, and are particularly commonly held at weekends, when they offer traditional Sunday Roasts to a potentially very large number of people. The meat is usually accompanied by a choice of potatoes (generally at least boiled, mashed and roasted) and other vegetables (commonly including carrots, cauliflower and other traditional British vegetables), with gravy and a sauce considered a traditional accompaniment to the various meats (for example, mint sauce to accompany roast lamb, apple sauce to accompany roast pork and so on).
