Yinrun Huang, a Chinese influencer known for her food reviews, has finally tried Toby Carvery and shared her verdict with the world. The 26-year-old, who moved to the UK after falling in love with her English boyfriend, Luke, has become a viral sensation for her honest and often humorous takes on British cuisine.
Having settled in Manchester and earning a Master’s degree in Pollution and Environmental Control, Yinrun has embraced British culture, even adopting the ritual of a daily cup of tea. Naturally, she has been exploring the country’s beloved chain restaurants, and Toby Carvery was on her list.
Luke, the man who won her heart, took her to a Toby Carvery branch in Keighley, Bradford, to celebrate their anniversary. Yinrun, who boasts over 25 million likes on TikTok, was immediately captivated by the carvery’s setup, comparing the queues to those at an airport. She was particularly impressed by the Yorkshire puddings, which she described as ‘the size of my fists.’
For her first Toby Carvery experience, Yinrun went all out, opting for a selection of meats including turkey, gammon, beef, and lamb. Her plate was also laden with roast potatoes, mac and cheese, cauliflower cheese, and cabbage. She skipped the peas and onions, though, as she’s not a fan of those.
Her enthusiasm for the meal was evident as she piled her plate high and smothered it in gravy, jokingly asking, ‘Who is Toby and why is his food so good?’ Her Instagram video showcasing her first Toby Carvery experience quickly attracted comments from followers, with many praising the chain and sharing their own experiences.
Yinrun’s love for food and her willingness to try new things have made her a popular figure on social media. Her experience at Toby Carvery shows that even the most traditional British dishes can capture the hearts of people from different cultures, demonstrating the universal appeal of delicious food.
