The cuisine at "Toby Carvery Washington" embodies the British carvery tradition, with slow-cooked meats at its core. Particularly popular is the "Four Roast Carvery," where guests can choose from a selection of meats such as juicy beef, tender turkey, spicy ham, or marmalade-glazed gammon, served with hand-roasted potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and a variety of vegetables – a dish that captures the essence of the classic Sunday roast but is available every day.
