Toby Carvery infuriates some customers with its new dining rules

This weekend will see many of our favourite bars and restaurants open for the first time in months.

One of those restaurant chains is Toby Carvery, which will be opening up its doors to hungry customers on July 4.

The carvery giant announced the news with an uplifting Facebook post.

The post read: "This time next week you'll be able to get your Toby fix if you’re near to one of our restaurants in England.

"You'll still be able to enjoy your favourite roast just the way you like it, with our chefs serving the roast meats, vegetables and accompaniments - with as much or as little as you’d like."

Toby Carvery has changed its rules in line with government guidance, which says that restaurants are no longer able to offer self-service to customers.

But despite it being a government ruling, some people still aren't happy with how the carvery restaurant will now operate, reports Hull Live.

"You can keep it food if we can’t help ourselves I’d rather cook my own," slammed one Facebook user.

Another slammed: "What does it matter who serves up your veg on a plate if you have used the hand sanitiser as soon as you have walked in the door??? Forget it."

"They'll soon change that when nobody bothers going. That's what you do at a carvery," said somebody else.

Another person wrote: "That's half the fun. Seeing how much you can load onto a plate and discussing the best tactics to use. And for that reason...I'm out."

These are the rules for reopening pubs and restaurants in England

However, it wasn't all misery, as some people expressed their joy at seeing the carvery chain's return.

"I am losing my mind without Toby's!" said one Facebook user.

"I heard you all were opening up soon and it brightened up my entire year. I am looking forward to the yorkies more than anything else in my life! See you soon Toby!"

You can now book a table at Toby Carvery on their website here. The maximum number on a single booking will be six people.
