    Nope I believe you still go up but you can no longer help yourself they put the items on the plate for you...

    I'm not 100% sure though I don't talk to people who frequent such establishments.

      The while point of Toby Carvery is to get your own selection of veg in desired high quantity, plus when helps when carver knows you

        Ah that seems more sensible. I was entirely speculating as I haven't been in a Toby Carvery for a good decade or more.

          You do realise they send people out specially to find the crowded pubs to sensationalise it right? And pick camera angles that make it look as bad as possible.

          Apparently it was pretty quiet round here.

              I'm craving a pint in a pub, but this virus is too sobering to risk it

              Comments there are like reading Trumpian site

                Best report will get you slightly used FFP99 mask

                Was straight out to pub on Saturday. You get an allocated table, so went for an all day bender.
                Massive session, ten pints, shots, got a lap dance off the girl on the next table but her husband kicked off, so got into a massive fight. Police called, banged up in a cell for three hours, then headed off. Bumped into the husband again, bit of fisticuffs and we both landed up in A&E at the local hospital. That was crap as they were all masked up, so I stripped off, ran down the maternity ward pushing all the cribs, before vomitting in one of the staff kitchens.

                All in all, it was like nothing had changed.

                    Reports and pics from my brother at the Ferryboat Inn at Helford Passage suggest all having a good time whilst observing the social distancing rules.
