Toby Carvery has axed lamb on Sundays due to “supply issues” - leaving customers devastated by the news.
The restaurant chain is famous for its carvery roast, which start from £11.99 on Sundays or £7.49 in the week.
But fans have vowed not to visit again after Toby Carvery confirmed in a series of replies on Twitter that lamb is no longer available every week.
Toby Carvery now lists turkey, beef and gammon as its Sunday carvery options online.
One customer said: “Hope the rumour I have not heard is true... No more lamb on a Sunday??!!!!! I won't be coming back now as its the lamb we want... Sad times.”
Responding to the diner, Toby Carvery said: “Due to supply issues this has been removed for the time being.”

In a separate reply to another customer, Toby Carvery said lamb would be offered “on selected Sundays” for now.
Another diner asked: “Please can I check whether you are still serving roast Lamb or a Sunday? As my local hasn’t had it listed for the last few weeks.”
Some diners speculated that the reason for no lamb was down to pricing.
One customer said: “There’s no problem with the supply, it's the price. Our carver has just told us that, anyway. Massive disappointment.
“Why not just add a surplus charge… then it’s a choice. I won't bother again on a Sunday now it's no different from any other day and more expense.”
The Mirror has contacted Toby Carvery for comment.
The news comes after sister chain Harvester came under fire for requiring customers to queue at its famous all you can eat salad bar.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, customers have had to queue to be served by staff - and it appears the restaurant chain has made this permanent.
It means customers can no longer choose how much salad they want - instead, they rely on staff to fill up their bowls for them.
Harvester is believed to be talks to bring back self-service at its salad bar following an outcry from customers.
The Sun reports a source at the restaurant who said: "Talks are under way between customer focus groups and the heads of the company and it is looking like the salad bar will go back to self-service.
"Customers were clearly upset after the news and that is something Harvester want to rectify."
Harvester and Toby Carvery are both owned by Mitchells & Butlers.
