A CARVERY A DAY… A QUARTER OF BRITS SAY THEY WOULD HAPPILY EAT ROAST DINNER EVERY DAY

  • Half of the nation hailed carvery as their favourite meal, while a quarter would eat it daily!
  • Greene King’s Pub & Carvery launches competition to find the nation’s biggest carvery lover and slashes carvery prices for limited time only during search
  • Huge prize of free carvery for the whole of 2025, plus a £2,025 cash prize up for grabs

Greene King’s Pub & Carvery is on the hunt to find the nation’s biggest carvery lover, offering a gravy-licious prize of free carvery for a whole year (that’s 52 free carveries) plus a £2025 cash prize.With carvery season well and truly underway, for five weeks until 20th October Greene King’s Pub & Carvery chain is slashing the price of its popular carvery to just £7.

The hunt for the ultimate carvery lover comes as new research reveals more than half of Brits (57%) say that carvery is their favourite meal, with a quarter (24%) saying that they would happily eat a roast dinner every day of the week.

What’s more, the humble roast dinner was also named as one of the top five things that provide the most comfort to 50% of Brits during poor weather.

When it comes to meat and veg choice, there’s plenty of debate. Roast potatoes are the most popular variety of potato to include in a roast dinner, with almost three quarters (72%) of UK respondents choosing this classic, with only 12% choosing mash and 6% surprisingly preferring chips.

And, despite the common misconception that everyone hates Brussels sprouts, Brits actually named the humble Brussels sprout as their second favourite vegetable, after deliciously crunchy roast potatoes!

Beef has been named as the nation’s preferred meat (29%) closely followed by chicken (21%), lamb (16%) and pork (7%).

Gavin O’Neill, Business Unit Director for Food Pubs at Greene King, said: “With the darker nights and seasonal changes upon us, there’s no better hearty, warming meal than full roast carvery, so why not make it even better value for money at only £7.

“Plus, with free carvery for a year, and a £2,025 cash prize up for grabs for Britain’s ultimate carvery fan, this is a great opportunity for customers to pick up the title of Carvery King or Queen, along with a great prize at the same time.”

The competition is open to anyone and will run from Monday 16th September to Monday 20th October.

To get involved and for full T&C’s, carvery lovers simply need head to the Pub & Carvery website here and enter their details to be in with a chance to win.
