A woman was fuming after her son was served a foot-long hot dog that looked like ET's finger at a Toby Carvery.
Irayna Coleman-Green was confused as to why the huge sausage was served on a tiny bun and thought the chef was having an absolute 'joke'.
The mum-of-three, who visited the restaurant on 18 April, 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 E.T.'s finger in a bit of a bread. It was a bit of a joke really."

The 47-year-old added: "Five of us had gone out for lunch – me, my husband and the three kids.
"We'd gone to this Ninja Warrior indoor obstacle course in Watford and we went there [Toby Carvery] because it was nearby.
"Meals at other branches have been fine, there's been no problem at all, the kids love it and it's just easy.
"Me, my husband and the other two kids had the carvery but Oscar decided he wanted something different so he chose that because it sounded quite nice.

"We'd all gone and got our carvery by the time we sat down and his had come up.
"We asked 'have you got more bread?' and we were told 'that's how it comes'.
"We were told 'that's how they serve it' and I said 'no it's not, it's supposed to be a hot dog'.

Irayna complained: "She went back again and she came back out with a little bit more dry bread. He was starving because he'd been running round all day.
"I said 'what about the salad? This isn't really a side salad, this looks like the kids' carrot stick starter'. There was no lettuce.
"She went back again and said 'no that's the side salad, that how it comes but you're more than welcome to have some vegetables'. He ended up getting some macaroni cheese as extra on his plate.
"We'd already sat down and he decided to eat it because he was starving from all the running around.

"We had our big plates of food and he was looking at what he'd been given, so he was disappointed.
"I wouldn't go back to that Toby Carvery. We've never had an experience like that at the other branches.
"He won't be ordered that hot dog in future, I think it'll just be the carvery."
A Toby Carvery social media representative commented on a post she uploaded and apologising for 'any disappointment', and directed Irayna to where she could submit an online complaint.
LADbible has contacted Toby Carvery for comment.
