The Carvery Company - Montemar

What an absolute gem of a find! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was impeccable—the staff managed to be incredibly attentive without being overbearing. The owners were from England so definitely know a thing or two about a Sunday roast. The menu offers a fantastic variety, but the standout was undoubtedly the carvery; every component was fresh, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. Once we’d finished we was offered to go back to the carvery for extra but was truly already fit to burst, didn’t even have room for dessert. I truly cannot praise this place enough—it’s easily one of our new favorites and will definitely be returning in June

Fabulous restaurant, the food was amazing, the staff were lovely and attentive. A great choice on the menu as well as the delicious carvery. We even finished off our meal with a fantastic cocktail. I can’t praise this place enough, what a find.

Found this place on are second night and omg the food was amazing.
We literally eat here every night we were there the staff are all amazing and the food unreal.
It’s the best carvery I’ve ever had and we can’t wait to go back in the future

I have had hundreds of Sunday lunches.... Some are good, some mediocre and some have been dire. The one that I experienced here was none of those.... It was EXCEPTIONAL.

Firstly, my initial enquiry by phone....NO waiting for it to be answerrd, NO "I'm sorry all our staff are busy", NO " your call is important to us" nonsense, NO frustrating AI generated garble....my call was answered within 3 rings, answered by a human who was friendly, courteous and polite, answering my querys in a professional manner, booking a reservation for myself and wife without fuss, job done....a refreshing very satisfying experience. This set high expectations right from the start.

Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by a very pleasant lady adorning a welcoming smile, confirming our reservation within seconds, were were then escorted to our table, taking our seats in less than two minutes of our arrival. She explained everything to us, including how we would be "called" when we could go to the serving area for our food. we thought it a bit odd at first, this has never been a procedure adopted at any other carvery we have had, but soon realised that this eliminated the free-for-all queueing system scrum often encountered at a carvery.

What a great idea, instead of tediously standing in a queue, we sat relaxed, enjoying our drinks that had arrived at our table at the speed of light!

It wasn't long before we were "called" to the serving area to view the comprehensive choice of food on offer, served efficiently by friendly staff. No excuses of "sorry we have run out of....blah blah".... lots of choice of meats and vegetables available. Proper "joints" of meat displayed, none of the often encountered "ready meals" that have been reheated (yes, we've experienced plenty of those), a REAL, proper carvery.

The food was lovely, we both really enjoyed our carvery, very tasty and enjoyable. My wife, who is VERY particular about food said she "enjoyed every mouthful ", praise indeed! We both left clean plates.

We didn't have a starter we had a desert each...again, an excellent choice on offer, not a choice of two or three as is often the case, but a plethora of desert options to drool over.

Interestingly there was trifle on the menu, I've not seen this as a Sunday lunch desert option before, so I chose this...sadly I was informed that this was exhausted, so had to choose an alternative....no big issue as there was plenty more to choose from, all tempting.

I elected for the "after 8" cheesecake, my wife had the banoffe. Again these were absolutely delicious and very nicely presented.

So, at the end of our meal I asked my wife for her score... It was a 10....I rated it as a 10 too.

The whole experience that we had here was, I have to say, exceptional. The friendly, attentive, smiling staff, and the ambience of the venue added to the enjoyment of our Sunday lunch experience. I honestly cannot recall the last time that I have enjoyed a Sunday lunch so much.

THIS is what hospitality is all about, yet rarely experienced these days, slick efficiency executed by professionals who know EXACTLY what they are doing and how to provide an exemplary customer experience.

Would I recommend a Sunday lunch here? Absolutely... experience and enjoy!

Oh god, just what the doctor ordered.

Absolutely craving some home comforts and this just hit the spot.

I can see this becoming our regular for sure. Fantastic service, really kind staff and soooo clean!!!

Thanks again
