Tobycarvery Reviews 

Oliver at Toby Carvery Hilsea was a lovely server, very efficient, polite and considerate. Great customer service Oliver well done!
Food was great, meat cooked to perfection

Had a carvery at the Romford Location last week and it was absolutely abysmal,the mashed potatoes could be used to build a house with!

The veggies were hard and cold ,the Yorkshire pudding was rock hard and I had just been to dentist so didn’t risk trying to eat it!

I was going to complain but overheard another customer not happy with his meal and was shocked to hear the manager say he would remember his face for the next time he came!

So for the cost of £11.79 I wasn’t going to get into a row over a meal but one thing is for certain they won’t see my face there again!!

Visited Toby Carvery maes knoll in Bristol, parking is great, and the food is always really good, the staff are friendly and happy to help.

We got to Toby Carvery Darlington and had paid and were seated by 10.09 am for breakfast.
We went up to get our food straight away and there was no bacon, no sausages, no eggs, no hash Brown's and were good by the man behind the food counter the food would be another 10 minutes.
At 10.34 the food was brought out and only limited amounts which all went within a minute as other people were waiting too.
We got limited food before they stopped bringing more out at 10.44, it was all over!!!
Why advertise unlimited help yourself breakfast till 11am if you can't deliver this.
I must add that the restaurant was barely half full.
Very poor.

Had breakfast this morning, bacon very hard and dry, not crispy, beans all juice, only one dish of everything out, despite a party of 30 being booked in for about the same time as we got there. Food cold, worst experience we have had in there
I told the assistant on the counter and she said she would pass it on to the kitchen staff and I said she should pass it on to the management!

The Toby Carvery just outside Maidstone Kent UK provides a Carvery of Roast Beef or Turkey or Pork with a wide range of vegetable's including Roast Potatoes and sometimes Roast Parsnips

We went for Toby in Romford today. I had a King Size. At first the Chef was missing but he finally appeared looking so unhappy and was never going to smile. I was only given one sausage and asked for Turkey and was given 3 slices and then asked if I could try a small slice of well done beef. The chef proceeded to take a slice of Turkey from my plate and placed it back on the Turkey to give to another customer which I thought was not too hygienic seeing it had been on my plate. He then gave me the smallest amount of beef possible.
I did mention this to the manager when he paid my bill and he did say the chef should not had done that. I just laughed and walked out. I think they needed to keep the meat more than I wanted to eat it. The vegetables and potatoes were ok. I would never go back after this type of service.

Yesterday, 1st February 2026 we were badly let down by another carvery company that had no meat available for a reserved evening meal, so we booked in last minute at the Toby Carvery Ipswich and arrived there at 7.45 and were seated immediately, we then each enjoyed a plentiful delicious meal. Thankfully the Toby saved the birthday treat .

Had a starter & Carvery at Maes Knoll Bristol, with my partner. Starter was small but nice. The Carvery was almost cold and although this was mentioned to a staff member it was ignored. I then asked to take it home then so I could heat it, But NO that is not allowed even though they do takeaway. We will never eat there again. Terrible food and very poor service. and not cheap

Went for a meal at toby castle Bromwich meal was dreadful gravy like water potatoes hard meat tough we had a voucher £6 each was not worth that so there was no way we would go on a Sunday

Brilliant staff who work really hard including Karen and the great manager they have at the Plympton site. Fantastic service and a fantastic meal. Shout out also to the kitchen staff keep up the great work!

Firstly in a queue at the entrance for 25 minutes where no one was seen to. Eventually seated amd then spent 35 minutes queuing at carvery whilst NO ONE WAS SERVED because the carver was cleaning serving area amd they had run out of meat and veg. Finally restocked and he started carving and didneven wash hands. Total joke. Asked waitress if they were short staffed? She said no but they don't get extra staff in when £6 specials even though it is very busy.

Really helpful staff were able to cancel a parking ticket I received from Euro Car Parks at the Snaresbrook venue. Thank you so much.

Staff very accommodating and welcoming when we arrived at Toby Carvery festival park, the food was great and plenty of it and of good high quality, prices are very very reasonable,
The ambience and the location of the restaurant were excellent
Very pleasant experience and would highly recommend to anybody

Very poor carvery at Stanway Colchester,
Lamb was old dry not able to eat! Told waiter, she said no one else had complained took my meal off bill, no offer of replacement. I had a sandwich from local supermarket instead
I am a regular Toby user, had one in Harlow recently which was excellent

When we placed our booking one of out party was gluten free, special requirements section option was 1 gluten free menue would be provided, no such menu exists, they stated the only gluten free option were the meats, the same meats that we witnessed cross contamination. The table hadnt been cleaned and the toilets were shocking! Way over priced, the quality of food was extremely poor.

Just had another lovely meal at Tobycarvery widnes, fantastic staff and very filling meal Debbie was our waitress and Matt did a fantastic job as the chef , with very good portions and an affable friendly nature and all at a fantastic price , why people pay £30 plus for meals in restaurants only to come away hungry is beyond me , I will never do that again

Disgusting company who truly hate people and the environment, Avoid.

Zero trust in this company. Terrible experiences both in chains and dealing with company. Avoid.
