OT - Carvery @ Sir Jacks - Bramley

[howdydoo]

Day off today.

First time in years we popped into Sir Jacks and had their carvery for lunch. Head and shoulders above any carvery or similar, I've had this year.

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.

Sounds like a Greene King.

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

Definitely not a typical Greene King.

Roasties today were soft. Not the frozen type variety. Lot less hectic layout than a Toby. Only upside at Toby is Lamb roast at weekends.

Yes it’s a Greene King. Toby does a much better carvery.

Must admit I went to 2 Toby's during our visit there last month and would never eat at either of them again (Dodworth and one in Leeds somewhere). 3 slices of not very good meat is not my idea of great value for the 12 and 15 pounds I think we paid. 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.

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

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.

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