Superb here, with one caveat. Called in last week for breakfast, as I love the Toby format. Food was excellent. Hot, cooked well, and plenty of it. Nothing missing. Chef was a cheery chap, and the lad at the bar was very pleasant and chatty (Sam according to the receipt). A pity it wasn't busier as I like to see good places rewarded. One thing though - it was one of the coldest restaurants I've been in for hot food. Not sure if the heating was dead, but if not, it does need to go up a fair bit. I kept my coat on and the food went cool.
Amazing carvery. On our visit, it was really busy, but the staff were brilliant and got us seated as soon as they could. It was worth the wait, very well cooked, excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend.
The food and service were very good here. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this venue if you're a Toby fan or looking to try it out. The one issue I did have is the cauliflower cheese, but no matter what, Toby, you go to the cheese sauce is bland and tastes of water. It would be so much better if your cooks made their own sauce and didn't use packet stuff.
Had a staff dinner for six of us we had the carvery. refill drink to, which was a good thing. It cost £68-69 pounds, no starter or dessert. If you got someone at uni, they'll get a 20% off on top. In the end £10.12pp but remember only one discount per party so use it wisely...
Was so impressed here. Excellent staff, genuinely seem happy to see you. Decided to go for the all you can eat Breakfast. Good value and was very suprised by the quality of the food. Love the fact you can have a Yorkshire pudding with your breakfast, sounds weird but it definitely works!! Overall very impressed with this Toby Carvery😃 It’s definitely the best one I have been to. Will come back and have the roast next time. Big thank you to the whole team. Good work you make this place one of the best Toby’s
