‘It was about jumping the queue at the carvery. People had clearly had a drink or two.

‘It was a proper shouting match. Their men took them away but then it all flared up again.

‘The pair were ushered outside into the car park where there was lot of pushing and shoving.’ 

Mitchells and Butlers, which owns Toby Carvery, has been approached for comment.
