Dodworth Valley Toby Carvery in Barnsley

Lovely table service by Donna and a delightful amount of fatty scraps carved by Henry. Always make the effort with their customers.

We are regular visitors at this venue, however the quality of food appears to go down...whilst the price keeps going up! We arrived at 6pm, at a time when it was busy yet the food - particularly the veg looked like it had been dried out for hours. It was fine if you rummaged around underneath the top layer, but you really shouldn't have to do this. Meat portions were pitiful at best, again I would expect more now that the price has increased. I got two slices of turkey, very disappointing. Finally the Yorkshire puddings. When we were in the queue, I could see that they were flat. Hardly the giants that you see on the posters. But, when we were almost at the front, he did change them and they looked impressive. Its just a shame that they were rock hard and chewy, totally innediable. Not sure where they are kept when they are sat waiting to come out, but the storing process needs changing as I simply couldnt cut through them. My daughter loves the Yorkies normally but had to leave hers as although I cut it up for her (or rather sawed through it), she was still unable to chew it. We were a table of 8, and all of us left our Yorkies. Although the food was poor, the service was good. Harry on the carvery was lovely and pleasant, and I feel he is likely to bare the brunt of complaints unless the quality - and quantity of food improves which would be unfair on him.

We visited as a family on a Friday afternoon. Positives: Fast service, good selection of vegetables, kids carvery deal on app, fast service for drinks Negatives: uninterested staff, didn’t ask how food was during our visit. Awful meat, we had the ‘large’ carvery and the sausages were inedible, couldn’t cut into them. The gammon and turkey were dry and the beef very fatty. Felt the meat had been sitting for too long. We had been previously and enjoyed it but this has put us off going back and more than likely if we want to visit a Toby again we will try the next nearest one in Wakefield.

Had a lovely meal tonight with the family. Food was excellent and Harry the carver was very friendly and chatty. He was very polite and you can tell he loves his job. All the food was fresh and tasty. 4 very happy customers tonight.

DONNA was amazing great service attentive and wonderful food will be back great cosy atmosphere thank you will tell my friends

Very busy but the staff and food can’t fault it .staff super friendly and the meat carver chefs are so good chatting away making you feel relaxed great chat with everyone.

Collection was at 6.45... wasn't ready. Wanted 45minute in the restaurant. Would have left if i hadn't already paid for it. I'd understand if it was busy but it wasn't. I could have got the trays and filled it myself

We had Kacey serving us today, even though we were an utter nightmare 😂 she was absolutely lovely and best service we've had coming here as this restaurant is mine and my friends payday ritual she was a blessing

You see a nicely cooked breakfast on the advert then you go in and get rock solid black puddings, badly cooked eggs, anaemic bacon that looks like its been boiled, mushrooms that haven’t been sweated and gush out water when cut in to. The only thing that was edible were the sausages everything else was vile pig feed.

Myself and two friends visited the Toby Carvery Dodworth on Monday 22nd April. We had a lovely carvery, all hot and fresh and very tasty. The chef in charge on that day was Harry he was a star . He was very helpful and polite . The waitress was Kacey she was lovely and very welcoming . They are both a credit to the company. We will be back very soon . 😁

Absolutely appauled! Typed my registration number in on the screen on arrival and today I have just received a £100 parking fine! I actually love Dodworth Toby carvery staff are always lovely food is always fab my kids love this one...so unhappy...how is this right? Can't even call the parking company can only call them to pay! Disgraceful

A nice family meal out turned horrible, due to receiving a £100 fine, despite putting reg plate number in!!!! How could a place get away with doing something so horrible to family’s in a time of financial difficulty for the whole of the uk. Nasty human beings.

Decided to call for a meal before visiting our daughter in hospital put our car registration in the machine on entering and even told a gentleman behind us to do this. Asked by staff at booking desk if we’d input car details also. Today received a parking notice from G24 absolutely fuming. Can’t even get on website to appeal not recognising info on letter.

Our waitress Ruby was a absolute charm, we come often and she is always going to the limits for us, nothing is to much Cannot recommend enough

Lovely meal as always. Staff super friendly and accommodating. Food hot and well cooked and a well stocked carvery. Delightful dessert

Wonderful food and service. Charlotte was helpful. Service with a smile. Definitely will return. Deserts looked outstanding.

Thank you Lillian for helping me getting my order to go when I could not do it through the app..... Thank you you were very kind even you were busy!

Great staff lovely food I can't fault this place always welcoming the carvery was delicious we come every week and always enjoy our visit

Love coming here top food and brilliant staff they all give %100 they could not do enough for me the chef was more then happy to help can't remember his name some young looking guy in glasses

Really good service fantastic food will come again really good location of the restaurant family really liked the food aswell

Take my mum & dad every Sunday for the carvery.Can’t fault the food it’s lovely as well are all the staff,especially Ruby who I have built up a bit of a friendship with as I generally get her as my waitress.Lovely lass can’t do enough for you….good owd Rubyness!

This was the worst carvery I have ever had. Waited for the guy to come out of the kitchen to carve the meat for what seemed like an age. We were seated by an open window with the wind blowing in we asked the waitress if we could close it, blinds filthy which in turn left hands filthy. The food was totally cold. The meat was extremely fatty but managed to get a small piece without fat. The meat was tough. In the end we gave up because it was too cold to eat. Informed the waitress of our disappointment and her response was "well you should have said" and walked off. Never again.

Excellent service by Grace today, Thank you, very friendly, polite and attentive, Made my day better, definitely coming back

Grace was out server today she was really nice and the food was lovely the man that survived us out food was really nice as well

Visited today for lunch. We were very impressed with the standard of service with all staff being very polite and welcoming. A big thanks to Donna and the man on the carvery. They are a credit to the restaurant

As always the price, service and food was all faultless. I ordered and eat too much but regret nothing. The turkey gets better every trip

When ordering our meat we got what I can only describe as a child’s portion. It was a small slither and when I questioned the chef he was really rude and said that was a portion. May I say the carvery charge was higher that...

In 2020 COVID meant that our Boxing Day lunch routine of going to the 'Toby' didn't happen and right up to the day this year was on a knife edge but we were able to go ahead. Unlike previous years, the place was not full...

If you want six bored staff standing around doing nothing to ignore you , shout at each other and generally have a laugh then this is the place for you! Food tasted nice but wasn’t warm . One member of staff currently on his phone...

Yorkshire puds like pancakes. Beef was so bad we couldn't cut into it. Cauliflower was rock hard. And ran out of gravy had to wait. Now the bad bits. Staff not interested more interested in messing around. Poorly lit and no atmosphere.

Just been today for Xmas lunch and the waitress Donna could not have been less welcoming, when we ordered food and told her what meat I wanted she said “ I DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT MEAT YOU WANT “ she looked sour all the...

Came here for breakfast. Upon getting out the car and walking to the venue, all you could smell was sewage. Booked a table, was stood at the door waiting to give my details, to be told to move and go to the bar by the...

Came here with my husband. Staff friendly but the carvery was horrible. The beef was so fatty we both left it all. The veg was out of the freezer. Watery, tasteless and rock hard. I had a pudding as I was still hungry and even...

Christmassy atmosphere , friendly staff, tasty food. 2 carvery with good choice of veg and 2 drinks for just over £20. Perfect midweek tea. Julie was our very friendly and efficient waitress as was the host who sat us promptly even though very busy.

Booked a table as there were 8 of us. We were seated straight away. The food was good. Not brilliant but good. There were some unusual veg for a carvery. Would have liked parsnips (like they used to do), but each to their own I...

Took my family and wish that i had not bothered. Waited over 5 minutes at the door on arrival even though i had a table booked. There were dirty spoons on the floor under our table, table not that clean either, cappuccino was served luke...

What a pleasure to have dined here at Dodworth Toby Carvery. Young waitress absolutely spot on and well spoken. Chef/meat carver really pleasant and welcoming. Everything one expects is here including cleanliness. Good food and the beef was the-melt-in- the-mouth kind. Really nice people to...

Food was fantastic and service was great. Fitted us in at a moments notice. Would recommend people to try it. The staff were very friendly and helpful,

Lovely carvery . Excellent selection of meats and vegetables. Food was delicious. Most of the food naturally GF except gravy, Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese. although there is vegetable gravy option which is GF

Fantastic carvery as usual, I've been coming here around 8 times a year every year now for about 12 years and I have never had a bad meal and the puddings are gorgeous, the staff are always very welcoming and friendly and the whole atmosphere...

hadn't booked but no problem finding us a table. We were served by Rhys who was friendly but seemed a little distracted at times- forgot to ask if we wanted starters but all sorted in the end. Food was excellent - I can really recommend...

Chicken starter returned inedible, replacement chicken half cooked so left Only meat edible was gammon. Vegetables were cold. Will certainly not be visiting a Toby Carvery ever again. Seating Cramped.

Mushroom and ale pie delicious, veggies superb. Service by Julie was attentive and timely. She was very personable and helpful with the vegan choices.

My partner went in to see if they could seat a party of four as we hadn't booked. She was totally ignored by the staff who walked straight past her with no acknowledgement. So we went to a more welcoming venue instead. Won't be returning....

Very rude woman serving who really killed the mood. Hardly any veg, been replaced with dumplings and pasta!!

Great venue for a family get together casually for food n drinks. Ruth our waitress was very helpful with the nut free and gluten free information.

Met some of our family to celebrate Bettys 98th Birthday. Chose the carvery. menu very comprehensive, great choices. Excellent value. Very helpful staff. Nice to meet up again. Would recommend it.

Hot fresh well cooked food in a busy but not overcrowded setting. Staff also excellent. Efficient and friendly Prices very reasonable.

Absolutely terrible, flys, flys and more flys. How they doing didn’t land on our plates I don’t know. Put right off from visiting again.

Excellent food and service well worth a visit - professional staff and very clean venue good fir families carvery great

We popped in to the carvery before the Barnsley vs Luton match on a Tuesday night before kick off it’s about 10/15 min drive from the ground it was fairly busy but we was seated and received our drinks in good time! The food was...

We visited Toby Carvery on Sunday and we had a lovely fresh carvery at Dodworth. The food is always lovely, especially when you don't have to cook it yourself. The young lady that served us was called Ruth. She was such a nice young girl...

Our Server Harrison was attentive and polite, however the same can't be said about the receptionist and the girl behind the bar. Both very abrupt (bordering on rude) Food quite good, but customer service let's it down for me. It won't stop me visiting, but...

Lovely food, really lovely and friendly staff and a calm atmosphere. Really clean Establishment. Our first time having Toby Breakfast and we really enjoyed it. We visited the night before for a few drinks too which were perfectly measured and mixed.

It was so refreshing being about to go out again and fell completley at home and safe. We went on Sunday and it was just brilliant. Service was super, loved my Pigs in blankets! You can queue but the chef plates your food up for...

My carvery was just what I needed. A long shift at work, no cooking required. My treacle sponge was amazing with loads of custard.

Today visited Toby carvery with my partner had to wait nearly 45 mins for a table we both had a regular carvery my partner had apple pie and custard and we both had a soft drink we asked for the bill and just pinged with...

Lunch today absolutely dreadful do yourself a favour give this place a miss. Lack of choice on menu, no child menu offering in school holidays and bizarre food options made ordering difficult. Went for sandwich which was so dry it was inedible boring side salad...

The quality of food was amazing, staff friendly and helpful, they explaining the service due to covid measures. Really enjoyed our carvery. Also the breakfast was perfect for us. The price of the food also very good value for what we ordered. Highly recommended.

01/06/21 - Our waitress Stephanie was really lovely with brilliant customer service , checked everything was ok with our meal. However, the chef dishing out the veg was giving half a spoon of what I was asking for, I had to repeat several times that...

Stephanie our server was brilliant so polite and attentive! However, I had to keep repeating that I wanted more veg but was still given very little by the chef serving me. Had to ask for extra gravy to be brought to our table. We had...

Love the yorkies & gravy still, even if plated up for you. fudge cake too die for & brilliant staff!! Couldn't fault them at all!!!

Eloise our server was excellent, however the people behind the carvery had no idea how to serve food and took great delight in thoughtlessly slopping the food on the plates. Please teach them that this is part of the service they are giving. We won't...

Food was great, service across the board was poor. Manager and absolute jobsworth! Non of the staff had manners at all!

We love Toby Carvery’s. You know what to expect and if you love roasts you will not be disappointed. COVID safety measures are in place and social distancing. Track and Trace too. Food and service was excellent as always. They now give you a form...

Toby has allus been decent and thanks to covid the only thing different is that you can't fill ya own plate. This is no fault of Toby but I do miss the tertris style plate filling to maximise the amount of snap to plate. All...

Went here this week while there was 50% off. We were shown to our table and given 2 menus, one for normal food and one for carvery. We decided to have the carvery, Clare came to take our order, we thought we'd go large for...

First time back since things have changed and was better than ever. Food was amazing, the caramel cake was recommend by Caitlan when deciding what pudding to have and was gorgeous!! She was so friendly and attentive made the experience much more enjoyable.

For a start carvery that includes lamb as an option! Following all COVID riles perfectly with staff taking your order as if you were piling on your plate yourself. What made it better than any other carvery are these special arrangements. Hubby and I both...

I just love the new way that toby is doing things. I know its difficult and everything changes all the time, but being someone who wants to try and carry on as normal but is still very anxious when out, I couldn't fault here. I...

Had a great afternoon, the staff were lovely. The new covid rules are explained and to be honest you don't notice the changes because the staff are so attentive and helpful. The food is absolutely superb, well presented and swift service, and exceptional good value,...

As always lovely food. All hot and with covid rules felt very safe being served and whilst in the restaurant. Young lady serving gravy could like her job more and smile!

Not off to a good start in times like these. The menus we were given still had gravy on them from another customer so obviously hadn't been cleaned and were not disposable. The table we were sat at didnt allow adequate social distancing. We sat...

We visited last week, twice, i must say, the way its run is very much appreciated, clearly the management have thought things through and its being run superbly. Which is why i`m putting very good, as it is. I would prefer to put terrible for...

Excellent meal and service at Dodworth Valley tonight. Yes, with Covid-19 its a bit different and the chefs serve all aspects of the carvery, and there is a smaller menu, but credit where its due. Thee booking was easy to make, quicky shown to table...
