Tobycarvery Reviews 

Went for a Valentines day meal. After being escorted to our table, we were greeted by our lovely waitress May,
Who made us feel totally welcome, as she took our drinks order and checked if we had any allergies. The restaurant was extremely busy, but she was polite, helpful, and happy. Taking time to make sure we were relaxed, so welcoming.
Harper was our server at the carvery, again very polite, friendly, and very efficient. I complemented him on his presentation and efficiency and commented that he would be excellent in the role of front of house. I could spot his potential. He was slightly taken aback at the comment but thanked me.
I later saw who I thought was a manageress, and mentioned these two members to her and asked her to pass on our good wishes,
The food was as usual, great, at Toby Carvery at Gravesend, Kent. The staff were brilliant and a good time was had by us both.

Having booked a table online for 5 at Stafferton Lodge, Maidenhead. We arrived for a Sunday lunch with the family only to be told they had no table reserved in our name, although we had a confirmation text message. We were informed a table would be ready in 10 minutes they asked us to kindly wait in the bar area, we placed an order for drinks only to be given a dirty beer glass.
After 15 minutes waiting, I asked when the table would be available, I was informed that the table was being prepared -cleaned, I informed them my wife is diabetic and was in need for urgent food as her blood sugar levels dropping. After 25 minutes of waiting, our table was still not ready, so we asked if we could eat in the bar area.
Why wasn't a table in the bar area offered when I advised them of my wife being diabetic and in need of food.
Why was our booking not registered with Staffereton Lodge, Maidenhead when we had a confirmation text message.
why were we told a table would be ready within 10 minutes.
why did no one come to us advising a delay in getting the table. Why did they not ask if we mind eating in the bar area due to my wife being diabetic and in urgent need for food? I would like the management at The Toby Carvery at Stafferton Lodge to comment on the above.

decided to visit stevenage toby cavery today.without pre booking .we waited by the entrance for sometime . only to be met by a moody grumpy member of staff .who warned us to pre book in future .we were then ordered to follow her and told to sit at a table .we were treated like naughty children .needless to say we decided to leave and moved onto to another restaurant .which was lovely .first impressions do matter

Food was cold
Front of house seemed stressed
Had to wait 15mins before waitress took our order

Tobys at Exeter is very nice place to visit. Has had a great refurb and the staff here are very helpful.

Bedford Toby - Excellent food (tender lean meat, superb yorkshire pudding and stuffing, lovely selection of vegetables), as always. Very attentive staff. We appreciated being allowed to bring a birthday cake in, and enjoyed it with a scoop of Toby ice cream, which is very creamy and good. A great place to eat healthy food, and a great place for a family get together and birthday celebration. Excellent value too for party of 10!

We visited around 2pm it was not busy there were loads of tables empty yet it still took stsff about 10 minutes to acknolege us and seat us when we were told we could go get out food so we went up to yhe counter no staff to cut the meat and it took about 10/15 minutes before he appeared and it seemed that we were an inconvience to him and the meat portions were only big enough for a toddler and to pork was so dry it was hard to chew the whole meal was only luke warm and did not have much flavour after the meal i asked for the bill and Sarah (staff) was quite rude after waiting about 15 minutes i decided to look for her she made a dig as to say oh your obviously in a rush but i am busy with other customers and there were only about 5 tables in there being used she just said well you best pay here then she had a very bad attitude toward us as customers and didnt appear to be enjoying her job or didnt want to be there

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.
