We were looking forward to spending Mother’s Day lunch at The Grasshopper Inn, Westerham. A lot of parking spaces available meant it was easy to park. The carvery was good, especially the roast potatoes and 4 choices of meat. Unfortunately the soup wasn’t very nice, it was cold and the croutons were soft. Dessert was enjoyable. The service was the main thing that let this experience down, from the time it took to receive confirmation of the booking through to the half our wait for my espresso. It would still be worth visiting The Grasshopper Inn for a carvery, but i wouldn’t suggest it on peak period days (such as Mother’s Day).

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Brentford and seeing as we had eaten at Island Restaurant previously, we thought it would be a good place to try.
It was a strange mix between a carvery and a canteen where you actually help yourself throughout the meal. It wasn’t very nice and we wouldn’t be able to recommend it to friends and family. A disappointing Sunday lunch at the Holiday Inn in Brentford.

I had heard good things about The Bull Hotel in Gerrards Cross. I booked that morning for the three of us to have a Sunday lunch carvery. The roast itself was very good, especially the roast potatoes and crackling. What really stood out though was their attitude to families – so very welcoming. An excellent Sunday lunch for families with young children.

We normally visit higher end venues for Sunday lunch, but with a “New Year’s Day Hangover”, I thought we should give a Toby Carvery a try.
We have actually visited this one once before with my Aunt and Uncle but didn’t review – so I was interested to see how it scored. The service here is average, but the star of the show is the carvery. They have 3-4 types of meat including roast turket, roast beef, roast lamb and gammon. Have as much vegetables as you wished, including a second or third helping. Very nice gravy as well.
Overall, the lunch was quite good – not once for a special occasion but if you were looking for something hearty then Toby Carvery in Bromley will do the job.
