billyboy38 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Its my local, the service is crap, tables take hours to get cleared. There is a lot more people eat there now due to the prices. They dont let you stand at the bar to have your pint. If they could get the service right it would be sold out most nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get the service right it would be sold out most nights.It would be really hard to maintain good service with that many people to cover. I must say that I have never had any problem with the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyboy38 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I believe most customers do go away happy and with the prices they will have to keep overheads to a minimum. There is about 15 to 20 blokes in on a Friday afternoon to have a few jars after work and they dont want us there. They only want customers dining when we have been going in for years. New managers new menu, crap for the locals. Business is business though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I didnt realise they had done that....I presume thats just more seating now then? I havent been since they took it out....I always thought it brought in quite a lot of customers for them.

Business is business though I've probably met you Billy, it's usually a Friday around 5pm when I go with the kids, I try to go every second week with them as they love it there, and to feed the 4 of us for ?20 (including drinks) is superb.

Ray Winstone Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Carverys are an out-dated institution. I dislike them immensly. But as a poor student I am not sure 3.50 for that can be turned down.... What to do!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
