The Eight Best Carvery Dinners In Ireland Have Been Revealed

Darragh Berry

Question:

Is there anything as delicious as a carvery dinner?

Answer:

No sir.

We don’t know if its the portions you get, the food itself or the mixture of both but God bloody bless the sacred carvery.

Some people may tell you that you can only have a carvery on a certain day of the week, like Sunday.

To those people we say, fools.

Carvery’s can be an any day sort of treat and these are the places that serve the best carvery dinner in all of Ireland.
