Post about Toby Carvery giveaway is fake
A Facebook post falsely claims that Toby Carvery is giving away a “free carvery for two” to anyone who comments “roast” on the post. This is supposedly to celebrate 40 years of the chain.
But a spokesperson for Toby Carvery’s parent company Mitchells & Butlers told Full Fact this isn’t a genuine offer.
The post claims to be from Jack Foreman, who it says is “Toby CEO”. But the CEO for Mitchells & Butlers is Phil Urban. Searches for “Jack Foreman” returned no results connected with either company name.
