As Brits, we love nothing more than a roast and all the trimmings, but when did our shared joy result in altercations over gravy?!

Police in Caerphilly, South Wales, were recently called to the local gravy station of a Toby Carvery after reports of an altercation between two women who were supposed to be indulging in a mid-week roast.

You couldn’t write it.

A witness recently told Wales Online that ‘two women began exchanging words at the gravy station section of the eatery before a fully-fledged argument began’.


The pair reportedly had to be separated by their respective partners before the disagreement turned physical and moved to the car park.

A spokesperson for Gwent Police told the Wales Online: “We were called at around 4.20pm last night, Wednesday, December 11, to reports of a fight between two women”.

“Officers attended and a 35-year-old woman from Pwllpant area was arrested and has been charged with assault”.

Witnesses described how any festivities were quickly halted as “it all got very heated as the pair were at the gravy station”.


“It was about jumping the queue at the carvery. People had clearly had a drink or two. It was a proper shouting match. Their men took them away but then it all flared up again”, explained one witness.

“The pair were ushered outside into the car park where there was a lot of pushing and shoving”, the source adds.

We get it, no one takes kindly to a queue-jumper. Whether it’s at the supermarket or at the pumps, we’ve all been taught to ‘wait our turn’ since our pre-school days.

But it seems when it comes to our beloved roasts some are just not willing to wait.

If this sounds like you, you’ll be pleased to know (if somehow you don’t already!), that Toby Carvery has now teamed up with takeaway delivery app, Just Eat.


Roast and all the trimmings at the tap of a button, from the comfort of your own home, delivered to your door.

Brawlers… sigh.
