点评:Buckfast Abbey is beautiful, we've been there many, many times. This review is with regard to the carvery, having a visited the Abbey on a Sunday a few weeks ago, we decided to come back and try it.
We came as a family of five around 13:15hrs and managed to get an inside table (lots of people wandering around looking for a table inside or out).
We queued for 25 minutes before being served. There was a choice of beef, lamb, pork, turkey and nut roast, along with a huge choice of vegetables which all looked delicious. I had the beef and lamb (served a single piece of each) before choosing my vegetables from the front of the hot cabinet. But there’s another selection of vegetables behind these that has to be served and placed on your plate from someone behind the counter (personally, I want to select what I want and place it where I want on my plate).
My vegetables were delicious, unfortunately, a sinew ran through my piece of beef (so tough I was unable to cut it) and much had to be left and thrown away. All the others' meats were lovely.
Normally when scoring on Trip Advisor, I would deduct a point or half a point for something I’m not happy with.
I would deduct a point for my beef and two points for the queue (it was still busy like that at 14:45). If I did that, my score would be a two which seems really harsh considering that in the main, our family meals as a whole were delicious.
I do know I personally wouldn’t return for a carvery (due to the queues and not being able to serve my own vegetables).
Whilst I expect to queue at a carvery, it seems soooo popular with so many people prepared to queue and it is not possible to reserve a table.
We also had a dessert - apple strudel and apple crumble - both worthy of a visit in their own right.
翻译:巴克法斯特修道院非常漂亮,我们去过那里很多次。这篇评论是关于烤肉的,几周前的一个周日我们去过修道院,所以我们决定再来试试。
我们一家五口大约在下午 13:15 来到这里,设法找到了一张室内桌子(很多人在四处寻找室内或室外的桌子)。
我们排了 25 分钟的队才有人来服务。有牛肉、羊肉、猪肉、火鸡和坚果烤肉可供选择,还有大量的蔬菜可供选择,看起来都很美味。我吃了牛肉和羊肉(每种都上了一份),然后从热柜前面选择蔬菜。但是这些后面还有另一种蔬菜,必须由柜台后面的人端上来并放在你的盘子里(就我个人而言,我想选择我想要的,并把它放在盘子上我想要的地方)。
我的蔬菜很好吃,不幸的是,牛肉上有筋穿过了(太硬了,我没法切开),剩下的很多只能扔掉了。其他人的肉都很好吃。
通常,在 Trip Advisor 上评分时,我会因为不满意的东西扣一分或半分。
我会因为牛肉扣一分,因为排队扣两分(14:45 的时候还是很忙)。如果我这样做,我的分数会是两分,这似乎很苛刻,因为总的来说,我们全家的饭菜都很美味。
我确实知道我个人不会再来吃烤肉了(因为排队,而且不能自己上菜)。
虽然我预计会在烤肉店排队,但它似乎很受欢迎,有这么多人愿意排队,而且不可能预订一张桌子。
我们还吃了一道甜点——苹果卷和苹果酥——两者都值得一尝。
