Foodies are going nuts for the Toby Carvery roast you can pick up for under £4 and enjoy at home
NO weekend can be complete without a hearty roast dinner – and now you can enjoy it for less than £4.
Fans of the popular buffet chain took to social media to praise the company for slashing the cost of the Britons’ classic – all you need is an app.
Sharing the delightful news to fellow foodies, Megan Louisa, from Gloucester, took to Facebook to reveal how she managed to get her hands on this bargain deal.
”Got this Sunday dinner from the “too good to go” app for under £4,” the student wrote alongside the post.
Megan also uploaded a snap of the dinner she bagged – there were golden spuds, carrots, a couple of Yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets and of course, a generous drizzle of gravy.
The Too Good to Go app, founded in Denmark in 2015, helps customers find foods that restaurants and stores haven’t managed to sell for the day.
Not only does it help your wallet – and tummy – but also tackles food waste, which is a major issue.
Many restaurant, café and food brands have partnered with Too Good to Go and will provide a “magic bag” of unsold food to users at the end of the working day.
Download and set your location on the Too Good To Go app and you can choose from nearby stores listing their unsold food at a reduced price.
Listings show how much a bag of food costs and how many are left as well as where you need to pick it up.
Fellow food fans were impressed by the bargain find and dashed to comments to praise both the eatery and the app.
”Ace app. The food will end up going in the bin otherwise, win win for all,” one wrote.

”You enjoy, looks nice and filling,” another couldn’t get over how good the dished looked.
”I really wish more places done this near me, this looks amazing,” another member of the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group said.
Looking for more apps to slash your costs? Here are some of our favourites.
No Waste
The free No Waste app lets you scan your food and organise it by expiry date, name or category.
This makes it easier to do the next shop as you can easily see what you are running out of.
Lists can be shared with family so you can give away unwanted food plus you can track how much you are wasting by deleting items you have eaten or that have expired.
The app will tell you how much of your food you have eaten each month and how much money you have saved or wasted.
Olio
Are you going on a diet or did you over order items in your latest shop? You can share unwanted food for free among your neighbours using Olio.
Food shared could be nearing its sell-by date, spare home-grown vegetables or the groceries in your fridge when you go away, move home or are on a diet.
You can also share non-food items such as furniture, clothes, toys, household and beauty products.
Users take a picture of the item, post it to the app and then agree where and how it should be picked up with anyone interested.
The app is free for households but businesses have to pay for a service that will take unsold food and distribute it to them.
Almost 10 million portions of food have been shared through the app, which has 2.6 million users worldwide.
Karma
Similar to Too Good To Go, Karma lets hungry households rescue unsold meals from businesses at a discount.
You can search for nearby food to pickup based on your location through the Karma app.
Unlike Too Good to Go, it well tell you what food you are getting so there is even less chance of it being wasted.
