There's no such thing as a nice carvery, try a proper restaurant instead. If you like Chinese you won't do better than the Golden Dragon in Exmouth, or if you prefer pub type grub then there's either the Globe in Lympstone or the Digger's Rest in Woodbury Salterton.
Beyond that you're on your own, but avoid carveries like the plague (if fact you'd be probably find the plague a more pleasurable experience than a bloody carvery).

The Swan Inn alongside Lympstone Station does pretty good food in its restaurant too.

Horrible, aren't they? Yet people seem obsessed with the bloody things.

Carveries are great when you've got my kids.

While in general agreement with Brother Moxey on the correct analysis of "carveries" Sunday at the Traveller's Rest is half decent.
As regards the FU I rate it on par with the TR but Mrs Al20000 and Miss Al20000 were seriously underwhelmed. Feckin' snobs.
Note: sometimes as part of a democratic group decision one has to partake of a carvery (with reluctance).

Anyone who dislikes a carvery is weird.

Happy to be labeled weird for not liking the councilest of eateries. McDonalds and late night kebaberies put carveries to shame in the fine dining stakes.

I should just say, and this might mean that i have to hand in my passport, i do think that the traditional roast is rather over-rated anyway.
The problem with a carvery though is that quantity is accepted over quality and the whole self-service side of it reminds me of a motorway service station with people poking about in the veg that you then have to eat. I had one about six months ago and the beef was, no exaggeration, inedible and this was at a place which seems to pride itself on its carvery. I'd say it was as tough as old boots but that would be disrespectful to old boots.
Personally, i'd rather order something off the menu.
