Never had a Sunday dinner delivered b4 had the usual Chinese pizza etc but never a Sunday carvery so didn’t know what size and played safe with 3 x small
Fantastic! Plenty left over for the dog!😃
Live in Treeton so was only abt 5 minutes away if you’re in that area Brinny Whiston etc and can’t be arsed to cook or go out give it a try

Uttis, Alec the landlord always puts a great dinner a the Waverley. Not the most modern venue and could do with a refurb in the big function room but, the carvery is always very good for the price paid.

Didn’t know he did a delivery service.

Had a quite nice lamb shank Sunday Roast meal in the Rock at Wentworth for a similar price and didn't feel I had to build a mountain of veg on my plate to get my money's worth (it's not a carvery anyway so couldn't even if I'd wanted to).

That's a Greene King as well.

Drawbridge do a good one too.

Price is £7 or add £1 to go large. Same price 7 days a week. Meat was quality. Plenty of veg choice. Would happily have paid twice that. Drinks were reasonable as well. Bottle wine £13-£20 a bottle. Two bottles Peroni are £6.

Seating is well laid out. Couldn't believe the transformation from the last time we visited.

Last time I went there the beef was burnt & tough, so seems to have improved.

Went to the Marquis last week, pretty good but the roast potatoes were hard, Toby still does better potatoes.

I normally call in the Marquis for carvery twice a month on a Wednesday, after doing Barnsley market shopping, good food
normally, but has you say the roast potatoes were hard.

Not been for a bit in the Toby at Dodworth, but my son was in there a couple of weeks ago, he said the food was good, while
in the pub, Mark Labatt [Beast] off the TV programme the Chase, came in for a meal, he told my son he goes in regular for
meals.
Like son said, he'd hate to be behind him at a carvery or buffet, he's a big lad. ;D

He's been dieting. Apparently he'd lost 10 stone by August last year.

Tourism has been down this year and people saying they've priced themselves out of the market but a lot of people there are happy with fewer tourists although I don't know what else they're going to do for jobs.

Been to Sir Jacks several times when travelling up from the South Coast for a Saturday 3pm KO. Can’t fault it. No room for Dessert!
