Fallen Oak - Toby Carvery may be evicted from felling this tree (update) (5) (UK) 22/Jan/2026

A Toby Carvery restaurant in north London is at risk of being evicted from the site after staff felled part of an ancient oak tree. Council staff found the remaining trunk and chopped branches of the tree, thought to be around half a millennium old, in Whitewebbs Park, Enfield, last April. Locals said the loss of the historic oak left them "devastated", while Enfield Council described it as a "reckless act of criminal damage". It added that it had begun the process of removing the restaurant's operator, Mitchells & Butlers, citing serious breaches of the lease. A spokesperson for Toby Carvery, said: "There will be no further comment due to ongoing legal proceedings." #trees #trees2025 #UKtrees #treesuk #fallenoak #tobycarvery 1) first report here: https://youtu.be/NY-VJVsZIeM Tree (stories) playlist also available!
