"The Carvery and the meat is so lovely the vegetables are very tasty"
"Our meal was cooked perfectly, the food was piping hot, the meat was flavoursome and tender and the vegetables were freshly prepared and cooked."
"The meat is always gorgeously cooked and the vegetables are delicious."
Cons:
"Food wasn’t hot. Pudding - sticky toffee pudding - portion was huge but room temperature, as was custard."
"This review is for the takeaway online. I have ordered a few times from the Toby carvery takeaway and the food has always been cold."
"The vegetables are always uncooked & meat has so much fat on it."
"The beef was disgraceful... pure tough and grisly."
"Everything you could want, but very bland"
"The carrots and peas were obviously from a tin and cooked to a tasteless mush, the cauliflower cheese watery."
"Beef was full of fat veg were all dry roast potatoes burned and we like them well done but we couldn't eat them, mash was gloopy, and Yorkshire wasn't cooked and tasted of fat."
Service
Pros:
"Staff amazing I haven't seen this gentleman before tall light hair he was very helpful and was the main host and appeared to be management."
"The staff were amazing and so friendly we had a lovely waitress who took the time to chat to us as we weren't from the area."
"Staff were very friendly and efficient."

"The staff were really attentive and polite."
"The waitress Rhiannon who serve us throughout was extremely friendly and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable."
"Staff were very friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"There was a slight mix-up with the mains."
"Have just left there, an old chap in the kitchen very rude to my wife throwing the serving spoons around shouting in front of my kids."
"We had to wait for drinks to arrive."
"Food was nice but took too long for them to keep up with the demand."
"Service was a little slow we waited 15 minutes after plates were taken and didn't see anyone to ask for the bill so had to go up to the bar to pay."
"Horrible chefs, inattentive wait staff. Rude managers who are power tripping jobs worths."
"Last couple of times we visited the que has taken ages to serve."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Very cheap and lots of food."
"Great food and good value for money too, we stopped off on route to home and were surprised that they had a midweek deal."
"It was so cheap, I thought they must have made a mistake but I checked and it was correct. Bargain of the century!"
"Great value and decent food."
"The all you can eat breakfast and Sunday roast are fantastic with the food being frequently freshly cooked."
"It is a really good reasonably priced Carvery."
"But good value for your money."
Cons:
"For 2 adults and 1 child we spent £43 with my child having dinner and dessert and us just dinner and 3 unlimited non alcoholic drinks."
"Monday Night. £17 odd for a standard size carvery, pigs in blankets and a refill pepsi for 1 person."
"Our two course meal that was pre paid was an expensive one course."
"Charging an extra £3.50 for pigs in blankets is an absolute disgrace."
"This was a complete waste of £26.19 including delivery, or £21 for the food alone."
"Toby Carvery is getting expensive for rubbish service."
"Please note that Sundays have a higher charge for carvery than during week."

Cons:

"Air conditioning not working and appears not have been for some while."
"Place in desperate need of a revamp ASAP. Sticky tables old broken chairs decorated with random pictures of tv scenes."
"The windows, condensated up mould and slime on frames. Baby high chair was mining Skirting boards scuffed. Cleaners not doing their jobs"
"The table at which I was seated was sticky from previous spillages."
"The decor was very tatty, walls needed seriously tidying up and the flies around tables was awful."
