Outrage in Enfield today following the feeling of a 500 year old oak tree.

A centuries old oak tree in Enfield has been hacked down by a Toby Carvery causing uproar among local residents and conservationists.

Enfield Council demanded police investigate the felling it considered “criminal damage”, after receiving reports on April 3 that an ancient tree in Whitewebbs Wood was found to have been cut down.

Toby Carvery's PR machine is in full flow, but this seems to be a massive own goal for them with calls for a boycott of the pub chain.

Would be ironic if the branch of Toby Carver was called The Enfield Oak.

I wouldn't say they were posh, just pub restaurants similar to the Harvester chain. Ironically though, I just found this on their website:

'Here at Toby, we are always looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of our restaurants. We're making small changes every-day, to make a long-lasting impact on the planet.'

Definitely nothing posh about a Toby Carvery. I've been in one, once: they let ME in! 😂… 😳🤔

I believe the main difference is that Toby actually roast their beef in an oven for the carvery. Best you can hope for in a wetherspoons is a microwaved ready-meal.

Don't think Wetherspoons do joints apart from the ones smoked in the beer garden.
