We were sent a voucher for our meal so we could review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.
We all know that Christmas shopping can be a stressful experience and it can take many hours. That is why so many people do it online, to ease some of the stress and time taken battling the crowds in your local shopping centre. However sometimes you just need to brave it – why not think about grabbing a bite to eat whilst you’re there?
We’ve been taking advantage of the time Jack is at school to pick up some presents – but it seems the world and his wife had the same idea. Wanting to take a break from the busy shops, we headed to our local Toby Carvery to refuel.
Toby Carvery believe you should Shop Now, Toby Later – enjoy a tasty carvery after battling the crowds for those last minute Christmas present. When we visited, Olivia was very excited to try all of the food – it was her very first carvery and she enjoyed it all immensely, especially the Yorkshire puddings!
Steve and I were extremely hungry after a morning’s Christmas shopping so piled our plates high with delicious meats, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, roast and mash potatoes and veg, plus some festive gravy. Normally it would defeat me, a plate like that, but I was ravenous and ate it all up, even with room for some dessert!
Christmas shopping can sure be a hunger inducing job but it is something we all have to do. It may be tempting to hit the fast food joints and grab a quick bite to eat but will it really give you the satisfaction that a four meat carvery with all the trimmings does? I doubt it. Plus you can ensure your children are still getting some veggie goodness – Olivia even tried brussel sprouts for the first time and loved them!
I’ve still got a few more bits to shop for – stocking fillers, anyone? – over the next week or so so will definitely be heading to Toby to refuel once more, this time probably with a few more people in tow such as Jack and my Mum.
Have you been stopping to eat during Christmas shopping? Have you got a Toby Carvery near you?
