Tobycarvery Reviews 

The Toby carvery at Hinton in Dorset is fabulous. The booking process is easy, the service is excellent particularly Mario and Shell. The food is great and hot with the best variety on a Sunday. Book early to make sure you can get in. It has recently had a refurbishment and looks very smart. 

Beth who was serving at the carvery at the Ewell branch was a hoy she was helpful and friendly Overall this branch is very well run clean and a pleasure ti go on a regular basis

Rude unhelpful staff at the portsmouth toby Resturant. Sat down in the bar area having ordered a carvery for myself and my 6 year old. Watched the staff being rude about customers talking to each other. Horrible

My friend & myself , both in our seventies . On the way home we decided to have a Toby carvery in Bolton . It was 6 pm . It was at least five minutes , before someone came to seat us . I asked for a table for two . The restaurant was almost empty . He said he could not serve us , as they didn’t have enough meat ??? I honestly thought he was joking . I said it’s only 6 pm & you don’t have enough meat . That is pure bad management . Absolutely terrible customer service . I am sure you will agree .

Three of us went to the all morning buffet at Walsall yesterday.
The food was nice but honestly the staff in particular Rachael were so warm, friendly and couldn't do enough to make our visit comfortable and relaxed. Rachael wouldn't even take a tip although she more than deserved it but she made our spur of the moment decision to go there well worth the time !!
Thank you Rachael you definitely get 5 gold stars from me ☺️

Went to the Toby carvery at Badgers mount.

We hadn’t booked and were marched to a table to the side which was right in the middle and told to sit there. Very uncomfortable chairs with a table that kept moving so I moved. Within no time a waitress asked who put me on the table I moved to and that I had to move as all the tables in that bay were reserved. Shortly behind her came what looked like a manager who asked the waitress what was happening and basically the whole experience made me feel like a criminal! I might add that one if the more comfortable tables were empty and no one sat there until we were about to leave. Basically they acted like they were doing us a big favour by letting us be there and I would never go there again. I also think £16.99 to go and line up as if you at school dinners is expensive when I can go somewhere to have my food served and be treated like a human being. Would not recommend at all and to be honest the food although eatable had no flavour.

I bought my breakfast at Toby carvery Crompton way. It wasn't great or was the experience. I asked could I have a box to take the remaining breakfast away with me. The manager said they don't give boxes to customers. Only if I paid an extra £2.00. Extortionate. I've only eaten part of it. There was no scrambled eggs or black pudding. It was really greasy especially the few eggs that were there.
Needless to say I won't be calling here again. The managers excuse is we don't give boxes away anymore. But we'll sell you one for £2.00. Even though I've paid for it. I told them I'm putting a review on this site. They said they put the left overs on it's good to go! It's not fit to be resold by then. Most places just bin it. It's been out for a while and gone cold and anything left over is sold on Gotogo. Will taste foul after this time. And all the breakfast plates are burnt. If you want a poor breakfast just call in here. The manager didn't seem to care. The breakfast was cold and the sausages were also burnt!

Food was great served and greeted by helena she was exceptional.

Love Toby Carvery, beautiful food and drinks. Always a treat when visiting. Great value for money too. I was served by Leah at Toby Carvery Slough. She was really friendly, chatty and exemplary customer service.
Can’t wait for my next visit. Always amazing!

Regular visitor to Toby Carvery at Eastleigh after a recent reopening after a fire it’s a pleasant experience. Yesterday unfortunately the gentleman on reception to book you in was miserable, unhelpful and generally didn’t make you feel welcome, the attitude was couldn’t be bothered. I will go elsewhere from now as there is always a choice.

Sausages tasted like complete chum plankton would do a better job doesn’t help the roasties taste like kibble , there were peas boasting about all over the place 2 stars only for the Yorkshires

The carvery at Redhill was okay, nothing amazing, but I came away thinking it was a nice catch up with friends. What I didn't realise is that I would pay for that catch up with a £100 parking charge for staying over three hours. When I entered my car registration number into the computer, upon arriving, NOTHING was said about the limit. I rang Toby Carvery who said that there was a sign on the door. However, in my excitement at seeing my friends, who I haven't seen for ages, I didn't see it. It would have been helpful to have been told by the waitress by the computer to be mindful of the three hour limit.

This has really soured my experience. I've basically been penalised for spending more money at the establishment. I will NEVER go back to such a scam pub.

Went to Toby Carvey Watermill, Mansfield Notts.
We wondered why it was so quiet at 4pm on a Friday. We now know why. Over priced food for poor standards.
Starters: Macaroni cheese was old and gluey pasta was chewy. Popping chicken was dry.
Sausage wrapped in bacon. Half were missing the bacon.
Mains : salmon Wellington was hard and extremely dry.
Roast potatoes were undoubtedly been sat for a long time lots were too hard to eat, other were showing sign of splitting. Not at all fluffy and crispy.
Carrot were dry. Can't tell you what the other potstoe dish was suppose to be but again the potatoes were grey from sitting under the Heater for too long. Green peas were shrivelled not at all appetizing.
The turkey was succulent and the green beans were fresh. Gravy was nice too.
I did compliant and the manager accepted my issue with the salmon but dismissed the issue with the toast potatoes by stating “ oh, I just set one and it was fine” thank you for not knowing my experienceand telling me all about yours. Great customer service. I did get a refund of the salmon. But paid £43 for despicable meal experience.
Overall, we won't be returning. It's one to aviod.

We were extremely disappointed with our visit to Toby Carvery Burton. Our table had not been cleaned properly, with visible food debris on the chairs, and the surrounding walls were covered in stains, giving the whole area a very unhygienic feel. Deliveroo drivers were also passing right next to our table, which was uncomfortable while trying to eat with them standing so close.

We asked to speak to a manager due to the conditions. Although we were offered another table, it was only available for 45 minutes and would not accommodate our group of eight, which was not a reasonable solution.

The explanation given was that the restaurant is due for refurbishment, but this does not excuse the very poor standard of cleanliness and general hygiene we experienced.

Overall, this visit fell well below expectations and basic cleanliness standards, when you spend close to £200 and can't enjoy the experience.

Photo's were taken and can be provided of the stains, left food and drivers stood by the table.

Unfortunately today's breakfast experience at Old Forge Stevenage was well below par with issue after issue, from being over charged, not giving my trade stamp, lacklustre service. The food was also of poorer quality the eggs were oily and overcooked and the breakfast hash was dry as well as lacking cheese and bacon and hash browns were dry. Half of the hot plate was turned off leaving the breakfast plates cold and wet. Unfortunately the poor experience continued with no plates for toast or oat milk for coffee, then as we were finishing the staff were cleaning the till point behind me and showered me with cleaner.
If this was my first breakfast experience with Toby carvery I'm afraid I wouldn't be returning, from now on I will only be staying if the staff I recognise (lovely friendly lady with tattoos and curly hair) are working as they always greet us with a smile and thank us for our custom on our way out. Overall disappointing and 3 star rating is due to the previous grateful food and experience rather than today's meal.

Pretty Poor
We visited the Amesbury Toby Carvery on Good Friday Evening as a group of 9.

We were fairly dissapointed. The place wasn’t that busy possibly because they charge a premium on public holidays and the roasts meats were somewhat overcooked- possibly been on the warmer for a good few hours. Most of the food was only just warm, roast potatoes dry and powdery and Yorkshire puddings biscuit like and dry.

It’s clear that most of the veg is frozen, green beans, peas and uniformly cut carrots.

Our 9 year old periodically food fussy grand daughter chose to order from the child’s menu.

We placed the order and the waitress had clearly not been briefed on several of the child menu items not being available. In the end she ordered a chicken unfettered burger which was out in less than 3 minutes, the meat inside them was over cooked and the batter soggy - clearly flashed in the microwave.

Upside was that staff were attentive.

Unfortunately we will not be going back to any Toby Carvery again - money wasted

disgraceful TOBY app marketing for 1£ easter OFFER 30th march till -17th april for the kiddies meal along with a promotion picture of mother and child smiling . I am a pensioner but manage to navigate the toby app on my mobile and book a table last friday eve.
couldnt find the cost of a carvery at the branch we booked at , but thought it between without offers 11.95 to 12.95 per adult , so 4 adults and 2 grandkids , so without any extras or drinks , expected a FOOD bill of 52 POUNDs ish NOT £85 . TOBY EXCUSE for no 1 pound kids deal " its a bank holiday " BUT BUT your app says up to 17th of april . Good friday , i am not religous and every body i know was at work as per normal , the shops and all resteruants were all open friday and charging same price as midweek or pre easter , TOBY charged me 16.75 p per adult cos its deemed a bank holiday, Go to nandos or mcdonalds , ANY PRICE JUMP , NAH nothing same same as a sunday to a saturday SAME PRICE , WHAT MAKES TOBY CARVERY CRITERIA AND PRICING any diffrent to rest of UK , RIP OFF BRITAIN WITH TOBY CARVERY and fatty stringy meat as per usual , the carvery couldnt even upgrade the usual meat joints even though they were asking , silly plus prices that friday . Wishing no disrespect to the staff there . PS 2. something overall STAR rating out of 5 WONDER WHY ?

Food was lovely, drinks were flowing and reasonable. Emma H was a great waitress who made us laugh and couldn’t have done more. Was a perfectly relaxed enjoyable evening.

Very friendly service and food hot an delicious. Plates big which is just right for a carvery lol so make sure your hungry when you turn up.

We found the beef very very fatty couldn’t eat and the whole meal cold only warmed by gravy staff were nice though
