Definition:

(noun) : a restaurant in which servings of cooked meat are carved at the request of each diner

Example:

"Get your meat and two veg at this Nolita nook, which doles out carvery staples under the guise of a British butcher's shop. The bowler-hat–sporting staff slice a selection of roasted meats to your liking (leg of lamb, pork shoulder, rump steak), served alongside authentic sides such as puffy Yorkshire pudding and rosemary-kissed new potatoes." – restaurant review in TimeOut New York, June 12, 2011
