TOBY Carvery diners have been left down in the mouth after eggs were ditched from its popular all-you-can-eat breakfast.
The restaurant chain has been forced to withdraw them from its £5.49 morning menu due to supply issues and soaring prices caused by bird flu.

The new cost-of-living bombshell comes after The Sun revealed lamb had been dropped from Toby’s roast offerings due to rising costs.
Mum-of-two Lucy Maddison, 33, of Sheffield, South Yorks, said: “I was gutted to find out I couldn’t have fried eggs with my breakfast. They should lower the price to make up for it.”
The Toby Carvery website — where the chain is described as “King of the Breakfast” — still shows a plate piled high with bacon, sausages, beans, hash browns, mushrooms and fried eggs.
Signs have been placed on Toby bars reading: “Due to UK-wide supply issues following the outbreak of avian influenza, we are temporarily unable to supply eggs.
“Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we are working hard to rectify this as soon as possible.”
According to the consumer price index, the cost of eggs rocketed by 60 per cent last year.
The cost of feed rose and millions of chickens were slaughtered due to an outbreak of bird flu.
