‘It looks like ET’s finger!’ Mother blasts Toby Carvery after her son’s foot-long hotdog was served up in tiny bun
- Irayna Coleman-Green, 47, told of ‘disappointing lunch’ at a pub in Aldenham
- She slammed Toby Carvery for serving her son, 14, foot-long sausage in tiny bun
- The mother-of-three said the salad was just raw slices of carrot and cucumber
A mother has slammed Toby Carvery for serving her son a foot-long hot dog – which has been compared to ‘ET’s finger’ – in a bun so small she thought the pub chain was having a ‘joke’.
Irayna Coleman-Green, 47, took to Facebook to share the ‘disappointing lunch’ she had with family in Aldenham, Hertfordshire on Monday.
She added that the salad – which came alongside the monster sausage in a three-inch roll – consisted of just a few slices of raw carrot and cucumber, without any lettuce.
Toby Carvery Aldenham has apologised to the customer and said it was disappointed the meal ‘doesn’t reflect their high standards on this occasion’.
Ms Coleman-Green said that while she and her husband filled up on their plates from the carvery, her 14-year-old son Oscar was left confused about how to eat his disproportionate meal, with the sausage dangling off the sides of the bun.
The unsatisfied diner said that when she quizzed the waitress about her son’s meal, the server checked with the chef and claimed she was told that that’s ‘how it’s usually served’.

The mother-of-three added that she was forced to ask a couple of times before the chef finally ‘allowed’ them to have some more bread, while her hungry son wolfed it down along with some macaroni cheese from the carvery.
Ms Coleman-Green, from Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, said: ‘The bread was about three inches long and it was for a foot-long sausage. It was a bit of a shock.
‘We eventually got a little bit more bread but it wasn’t the whole size of a hot dog.
‘Maybe the chefs spend their time doing the carvery stuff, it was disappointing.
‘It looked like ET’s finger in a bit of a bread. It was a bit of a joke really.’
Stunned social media users blasted the meal, that retailed at £7.49 on the Christmas menu.
One said: ‘What a disgrace what sort of carvery serves up a meal like this…That is not even a salad.’

‘That hilarious, was there a bread shortage?’ another added.
A Toby Carvery social media representative commented: ‘We’re really sorry for any disappointment Irayna, If you want to make a complaint about this visit, you can do so via [our website] and the Manager will respond further.’
A spokesperson for Toby Carvery Aldenham also said: ‘We’re proud of our popular Footlong Super-Pig, so we are very disappointed one of our valued customers received a meal that doesn’t reflect our high standards on this occasion.
‘We have raised this with our internal teams to investigate and would like to apologise to the guest and invite her back to have a delicious meal on us.’
