Toby Carvery Watford

You know that feeling when you want roast dinner but can't be bothered with the faff? This is your answer. Head to Hartspring Lane and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood spot where families, couples and mates gather round tables laden with beef, pork, turkey and lamb carved fresh in front of you. The buffet's loaded with the essentials—crispy roasties, parsnips, stuffing, proper gravy—and you pile your plate however high you fancy. It's unpretentious stuff done well, the kind of place where everyone feels welcome whether you're after a midweek dinner or a leisurely weekend feast.
