Toby レビュー 

Good customer service all round and good value food too.

If you are looking for a full on Little Britain experience, only worse then this is definitely the place to come. Honesty the worse place I have ever attempted to eat. Why any restaurant would put somebody so rude and clearly unable to deal with the demands of working the front of house at a restaurant is beyond me. Swearing, cursing Jesus Christ and having open conversations about her fact that they have ran out of meat and cannot cope with all the bookings they have taken is highly unprofessional. As if I was not put off enough already they also lost our booking and we had a genuine “the computer says no” experience.

We booked a table for 5pm. Was a hot day so almost empty in the restaurant. Meats were fine but potatoes and vegetables had clearly been sat in the containers for most of the day. Overheard the evening senior chef, upon his arrival, advising the restaurant staff to NOT replace the 'deck' because its so quiet.
In restaurant kitchen speak, the 'deck' is where the potatoes and vegetables are situated.

Therefore, due to the lack of customers expected that afternoon and evening, the decision was made by the kichen management to provide 8 to 12 hours old potatoes and vegetables to said fee paying customers.
This is clearly the economic model of Toby Carvery. To offer a substandard level of food produce in order to maintain maximum profit margins.

I went there for my son’s birthday and I had a terrible experience!! we had groupon vouchers and when we went to pay they told us they cannot take our vouchers and told us they was going to ring their manager, they then came back and told us we was banned from coming back and then used the vouchers.. on terms and conditions it says we can use up to 6 each table but they had a massive problem, we even asked to split the bill but they refused. The lady was very disrespectful and rude and the staff were standing around gossiping about the whole situation and we was even threatened by them saying “we will call the police” the food wasn’t even nice the food was dry and disgusting and the meat had blood on it, the toilets were in a state there was sick in the boys toilet and a blocked toilet in the girls disgusting ridiculous staff

Not only had all of the food been sat out for a considerable amount of time to the point it had all shrivelled and become dry, the gravy was a lumpy mess, there were 3 hairs in my food and it was an absolute waste of our time and money!!

I would like to tell you about the food in Brentwood Essex but couldn’t get a table for 45 minutes when only one quarter of the tables were taken. I asked is this becuase you are short staffed, and I would understand that , however I was told it was because I had not booked on line. It was 6pm so I looked at the web site and it said no tables at 6pm or 6.10pm, but tables available in twenty minutes. Rather than book it we went for a curry instead. I just hate being lied to ..the 45 minute statement was to discourage us from waiting..how can you run a business when you lie and just wish customers to go away. We went once before after lunch and no problem getting a table, however I took one look at the dried out vegetables and meat on offer, and left. So two visits resulting in not eating..pity it used to be good there, sadly not anymore.

I gave my review on two sites and the toby carvery responded to the other review site by saying they would investigate..yeh watch out for pigs. I checked and they use that same excuse for any poor score , but never once could I find an update on their investigation, or offer to call etc.

Midway carvery, East Hunsbury, Northampton.
Went for a breakfast with my Dad and one of my mates.
I took my own bottle of ketchup, because in the past they have always run out.
Sure enough both tomato ketchup, and brown sauce were empty.
Unfortunately so were the eggs, se we had a breakfast without eggs.
The breakfast was nice enough, but if you're going to have a fried breakfast you really need eggs on the menu.

Fun king shabby.

The best Toby Carvery I’ve been to! Such a good experience; lovely staff, organised, tidy and quick service :)

Visited toby carvery Langley green Crawley this lunchtime and was very disappointed the Yorkshire was cold the meat was cold and dry looked like yesterday’s very little choice of veg which was cold and inedible potatoes also looked like yesterday’s cold and gravy slopped over them .the only thing that was hot was the gravy. Not worth the money .

Well we expected it to be different new staff etc, but nope this time we went the food was cooked but some food was cold rest was lute warm, then the drinks the glasses looked dirty. Staff was so cba mode were there either in a corner chatting to each other or on there mobile phones. We’re not going again I don’t if this connected because day later we fell ill with really bad flu like symptoms exactly same time. I gave them one star. Either way wasn’t impressed.

Thank you Toby Cavery Wolverton for the free dinner this evening for AFD, food was lovely and the staff were amazing.

Great food super friendly service. Especially Sarah made us feel very welcome.

We went to the new toby after renovation for the first time. In the past I said I would never go again after bad food. This time the staff were very polite and courteous and helpful but the food was total slop ! The mash was lumpy, the roasts were sat in liquid grease or water, they were soggy to eat, the carrots and veg and meat were all dry and the hard yorkshire pudding looked like a giant twisted roof slate! We feel like we have been ripped off for £27! I sat very close with my wife to 2 other tables who complained about being cramped also. You couldn't move! There were plenty of tables free but we were all seated together and they were free until we actually left so they were not reserved! We will definitely not be going there ever again. Totally ruined the day!

I visited Toby Carvery, Queens Drive, Liverpool today. The food wasn’t good. It was tasteless, the roast potatoes tasted like they were burnt and cooked in dirty oil. The lamb was tough as leather. The gammon was fatty and not nice. The cabbage was rock hard, under cooked. The cauliflower cheese was hard too. (It was not aldente it was near raw) The mash tasted like smash, ( yes i tried it many years ago) (not good) and the gravy was absolutely tasteless. I have ate here before and it was a bit better previously. But i tried all on my plate and it was terrible sorry to say.

The Dog at Over Toby Carvery Highnam Harriet was our waitress she was a great hostess funny and made our meal the best ever shout out for Harriet thank you.

Breakfast is lukewarm food and expensive, I had a issue with my debit card and found the waitress not friendly. Overhaul experience disappointed.

Toby EXETER, Massively OVERPRICED,
All the usual traits…3 pence worth of batter mix in the form of a Yorkshire pudding right at the start covering a third of the plate minimising what you can actually put on the plate,
the meat portion was a ridiculously small amount consisting of only two of the thinnest slices I have ever seen, roast potatoes Stodgy as always. Again as soon as you arrive drinks pushed on you, in this case refillable coke at £4.20!! amounted to 2 glasses in this case,
Total bill for this low grade meal £27.80 does not represent value for money. Never again!

Brilliant thanks

We absolutely love Toby best place for a carvery , staff always friendly and food always great best meat I have is Turkey

The worst service received at BRISTOL maes knoll on 2nd June 2024
The order was just over £40 and you are pressurised into ordering more when they want - not when you want !! FOOD not good and meat poor quality and sparing !! we were relaxing after the meal and drinking the bill thrust on the table , after even when glasses were half full said about paying !! we would have ordered ice creams but they wanted the money urgently , can't understand the rush as the pace was half empty ????
At the counter I was shown up as they knew I was not too pleased and the glut of staff hanging around the bar was proof of being under employed , they thought it was a huge joke showing up customers , and the one that served me argued to have the last word , no wonder the place was half empty , it's a wonder they get any trade at all !!
It left me so angry I complained to head office !! Management nowhere to be seen so while the cats away the mice play !!!!
THE WORST TOBY IN THE COUNTRY IS BRISTOL !!! I know as I do 30,000 miles a year . . . .
The BEST Toby carvery is the Coldra Newport and second best is Caerphilly , they should teach the rest !!
