The Kingsman in Liverpool

Went to the bar. Not overly busy. Barmaid acknowledged me but served at least four other people who came to the bar after myself. In the end had no option but to serve me as I was the only one waiting. Got the feeling regulars get priority. Her loss as I always tip having worked in hospitality but not on this occasion.

Excellent service from carol, food at the carvery was great, definitely would come back again, and would recommend to my friends.

Review; Yorkshire puddings average but more atmosphere in a morgue than there was in the bar. Recently refurbished and cleaned

Booked on line requested a window table if possible.when we checked in we were shown to a table at the back of the restaurant,I said to the lady can we have that table in the window she said needs cleaning took her all of 30 seconds to clean it.so they obviously don't look at your requests. Food was OK but potatoes burnt and very little meat

As there are very few pubs within walking distance of this area, I decided to meet a mate for a coffee here. As I arrived early, I went into the bar side of the Kinsman. It is many , many years since it was a pub, so I knew what to expect. Although they were setting up for the lunch menu, a barman came immediately to serve me (even apologized for the wait). He asked what I wanted, and having asked if I could just have a coffee., he replied that was no problem at al. He was asked what type, with or without milk, and even what colour sugar. I now have mobility issues (a walking stick for my rheumatoid arthritis), but without asking, Ryan asked me to find a seat, either inside or out (I chose outside) and he would find me. He brought me my coffee, and reminded me that he would be out to check if I needed anything else later. He and the manageress came out to put up the sun parasols and both were very pleasant. The Americano I had was lovely, and my mate arrived and had a refreshing half pint. Ryan was a great ambassador for the company, not just for his courtesy, but for the good-humoured banter, My purchase was little money-wise, but I was still given great service. I would certainly come again.

Si solo desea una de las carnes del asador, no espere que una porción más grande combine con un plato con las tres. El personal no usa ninguna cubierta facial y me siento demasiado cerca de otros comensales. Poca disponibilidad del menú del desierto.

Number 1 roast dinner in liverpool, its like build A roast... So enjoyable and lovely service from helpful staff. I will be a regular here .

I visited this restaurant for a breakfast 26/02/20 there was only bacon available at the service counter .We waited 15 minutes for the food to be cooked and presented , but it never arrived . I asked a member of staff how much longer we would have to wait . The staff member was rude and dismissive .I asked for a refund of the money I had paid , I was reluctantanty refunded the money . I would never visit this place ever again

Food been sat there for hours. Hard and crusty and the smallest portion of meat. Absolutely will never go back there again.

Been here a few times now and just a typical carvery food is reasonable in ok surroundings but staff could be friendlier

Went here tonight with our £15 groupon. This entitled us to 2 carvery and 2 dessert . Well worth the money , the food was lovely and we had a nice friendly server .

Have been visiting here for 30 years, this is no longer a pub, last orders at 22:15 and chased to leave at 22:30. Will find a pub that is friendly and not a Toby Carvery. I hope nobody comes here expecting a friendly bar as only interested in restaurant customers.

What a wonderful paradox a Toby Carvery is! They promote themselves as “The Home of the Roast”, a carnivore’s paradise, and yet their most delicious meals are vegetarian. When we visited with a group of friends last Thursday, we were pleasantly surprised to find a good range of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, and chose the mushroom and ale pie. It was a real pie, with crusty base and sides as well as top, with large portions of mushroom inside in a succulent ale sauce. Our roast-eating friends could only look on in wide-eyed envy as we tucked into it. The vegetables on the roast counter were also delicious, cauliflower and broccoli just sufficiently al dente but not too hard, and a choice of roasted, mashed and sautéed potatoes, with a delicious vegetarian gravy. We washed down the meal with a very palatable pinot grigio. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was cheerful and efficient. Disabled access was good, with level floors and disabled parking spaces just outside the main entrance. Altogether, well worth a return visit.

Went there tonight food was very fresh and hot staff were fantastic excellent all round.will be going back soon

Came with friends tonight and was really looking forward to having a lovely roast. Waited a while to be called for the good even though we had booked. Got to the carvery only beef and gammon left which was disappointing ... the guy serving really couldnt be bothered bad carving and couldn't even look at us. Potatoes and veg looked like they had been there for hours and were not very hot . Will not be going back.

the kingsman was a pub with a bowling green attached its now been demolished for many years and a toby restaurant built on the site

вкусное мясо соусы к нему не очень. пустое мясо гораздо вкуснее. обслуживание вялое, хотелось их всё время шевелить

Really good value for money. Good location. Good food. Good staff. Well worth a visit,can become very busy at the weekend. Pop in for a drink,or the very good choice of food.

We go here every time we visit family in Liverpool. The staff are friendly and the service is good and they make a fuss of Dad.

Nunca he estado tan decepcionados en un asador toby! Sirve en el asador por una señorita que ejecutan nos mechas de carne que no habría sido suficiente para un niño. Me visita restaurantes toby al menos una vez a la semana y obviamente saber su porción de carne es sensata, pero este era rationef ridículo. He oído mencionarlo, también cerca de las mesas. Las verduras era preciosa, pero, lo siento, no se viene aquí. . . La carne está destinado a ser la estrella del espectáculo. . . . . . Me siento robado!

We always come for food, my fella mom lives in Belgium and can't get a roast we're she lives , so Looks forward to coming to a Toby for a roast , but unfortunately it wasn't good but what I want to talk about is John!!

Visited here New year's day for a few drinks and food. On arrival asked if we could open a bar account and was refused as we wasn't sitting down to eat straight away...ok...so ordered our drinks 2 pints of Heineken and a double vodka with diet coke...£16, yes a little bit pricey, then sat down outside of the eating area by the window. When 2 more people in our party arrived we then asked for a table for 5, but was told 30 minute wait or eat at the table we were at so we opted for eating where we were sat. We went to the bar to order our food and more drinks.. £64 and was given 5 sets of cutlery. All good so far. Then as we were going up to the carvéry for our food I asked a server if we could have salt & pepper for our table which he went a got me and I put on our table. I then went to get my food and sat down to eat my meal. When seated I put salt and pepper on my food but nothing came out of pepper cellar so I opened it and to my disgust I seen what can only be described as filth as pictured. Food was ok meat was excellent but veg was a bit undercooked. But meal gets a 7 out of 10. We finished our meal and had 1 more drink. 50 minutes after finishing our meal our plates were still on the table with nobody asking if we wanted dessert. We was going to have dessert but we got bored waiting. Even as we left the table still had our plates on it. And if your thinking it was busy on new years day...well it wasn't, as we left there was 6 members of staff chatting away behind the bar with no customers....poor service

El Toby Carvery (Kingsman) es un lugar encantador. He estado viniendo aquí desde que era un chico en el 90, entonces como un joven yo kingsman. No llegar aquí tan a menudo como debería, pero hoy no era nada menos que ¡GENIAL!

Fuimos el Domingo para una carvary, muy bien, la comida era carne muy fresca, recién hecha y roasties neoyorquinos especialmente. El personal era servicial y amable, bien organizado. La única crítica que estaba un poco caliente en el comedor, aire acondicionado podría ser mejor.

Yo tenía un fantástico asador domingo aquí. Había una buena selección de carnes y mucha variedad en las hortalizas ofrecidas. También la opción de salsa hasta terminar. También puede regresar y obtener tanta verdura que quieras, si sigue con hambre (esto no se aplica a la carne). Era realmente buena relación calidad-precio a £9. 50.

He visitado muchas veces y la calidad varía.

Great food and service. Margaret serving the carvery needs to renew her manners and customer services vows and skills though. 😏All other staff.. MAGNIFICENT.

Utiliza un par de veces para comer y no nos decepcionó. Habituales favorito para un montón de familia cuando estamos atrapados por un lugar para tener una comida de domingo. Bien que sin gluten salsa disponible bajo petición (Bisto mejor) pero una maceta más grande sería apreciada (su 'un poquito cuando el codicioso decide tener una rotisería grande! ).

Yo comer aquí una vez al mes. Yo estaba muy contento de la visita, para encontrar una buena selección de opciones incluidas en el menú vegetariano, incluyendo un postre caliente. Increíble. Bien hecho Kingsman. También una mejora en los aseos de señoras. El radiador estaba...

Excelente servicio y satisfacían nuestras necesidades! Dos platos asados e incluso algunas vales de descuento.

Mi esposa y yo llamamos a la Kingsman esta tarde, después de pasar el día con la familia en el sur de Liverpool. Teníamos un horario estrecho para cena, así que estábamos un poco preocupados de que estaríamos sentados en buen tiempo. Nos dijeron que no habría que esperar 15 minutos, lo que me permitió pedir una copa en el bar.

I often go here for the carvery. The place is decorated in a pleasant way. Very clean. They do a marvellous job considering it's always busy. I am vegan and they cater very well for me. I will continue recommending the place to all my friends.

Best Carvery in the Area. A decent roast dinner all food hot, quality 4 choices of meat and fast service (even on Sunday).

Visited this place a few times over past couple of months, food is actually very nice, (apart from pigs in blankets) which are terrible, problems are mainly in the kitchens, they keep running out of the meats they have & the veg dishes are regularly empty, you find yourself waiting for new stuff to come out whilst the food on your plate is going cold, no one appears to be coordinating things, getting all your food on your plate on one visit is a fluke rather than staff organisation. Food nice, staff clueless.

This carvery has had a make over and the food has improved too. Staff are polite and quite efficient. Wating times reduced too. Feels like they do care of you enjoy your meal.

When you go to a carvery often, you kind of already know it's hit and miss when it comes the quality you're going to get.After already being here for breakfast a week earlier (which was most likely the worst we've ever had), we were asked to give their carvery a try. Reluctantly... We agreed.The tables were dirty and sticky, with the general cleanliness being far below what you would expect.The meat was not very well cooked and the potatoes and veg seemed to be similar to cheap prepacked and frozen. Not good at all.It seems a shame that the staff didn't really care too much whether you enjoyed your meal or not. So...you've gotten your food, sat back down and start to eat. The best thing you can hope for in this place is that the food is hot. But as we found out, even that was not possible.Been here twice now so I feel that we did at least give it a second chance... There won't be a third.

Visited here with 14 others of my family after the Liverpool race for life on Sunday. The waiter was very accommodating and the food was lovely. My only quarm is the take away dinner we got for my nan who was unable to attend due to doctors orders was a bit scarce and ended up quite a small portion compared to the normal roast dinner we sat down to eat. But apart form that the meal was lovely.

Nice Carvery reasonably priced .Good portion of three meats available.Drinks are quite cheap.Very busy at weekends

Went for lunch here with my partner and 2 year old couple of days ago. Had carvery and it was terrible. Carver didn't seem to know what he was doing kept dropping meat. Meat was well over cooked beef was too chewy couldn't eat it. Veg especially cauliflower was so over cooked it was melting you didn't need to chew it at all was mush! Roast potatoes were browned outside but so soggy not great. Waiting on Staff seemed nice. Been here in the past and was lovely but disappointed in it this time

Having taken in some of the sights along Liverpools waterfront near Otterspool, which I might add is fantastic on a sunny day with the family. We had worked up quite a hunger and had a plethora of choices of where to eat! But when nothing else will do but a good roast dinner our minds where set, plus with the benefit of a discount using the mobile app for Toby Carvery under offers it was going to taste just that bit better.This place is great, it's got good ample parking and accessability for all needs with wide open doors and predominantly all on one level once inside, plenty of space inside. We had been offered a seat quickly and attentively to a booth thatoverlooked the Carvery area, talk about putting temptation in your way. But that's exactly what we'd come for!Seemingly we had arrived at a good time as it was beginning to fill up steadily throughout our time there. The carvery area had plenty of choice for veg and trimmings, the meat looked and tasted succulent topped off with some good hearty meat gravy. If there was ever going to be a last meal then I'd have to say this would have been it. There's nothing like a roast dinner. Well I say that but you couldn't beat a mothers home cooked roast dinner. I didn't feel rushed, the staff had been attentive throughout and from looking around, including the facilities everywhere was clean and very presentable. One point of note the booth was just about managable for 6 off us given that two where children but another more space is definitely better for comfort.Despite that when it came to paying the bill I was initially having difficulty with my phone app (network reception) but the lady was most obliging in assisting me to resolve the issue and utilising the appropriate discount.All in all a very welcome and pleasant change to the experience I'd had at the Toby in Ormskirk last month so despite my reservations was not put off and prepared to give them another opportunity. And glad I did. Would I go back, yes.

Easy parking and competitive pricing. Travelodge just beside it so a handy eatery. Attached to the bar which seems popular with locals.

Having visited a number of times this place is now much better since refurb ...food better venue cleaner and service better. As a commercial chain carvery goes this is one of better ones.

We have visited this carvery before and enquired whether it would be ok to take home the food we don't manage to eat in a tub, since there is always a lot left, and we don't think food should be left to go to waste. We were told it was ok, so next time we came we had lots, and since we had been shopping we had a couple of storage tubs with us, so decided 'waste not, want not' and thought we would take what was left home.Then one of the staff came over to our table and very sternly told us (in front of everyone in that part of the restaurant) that we couldn't take the food with us or she would charge us for it, then she came back and shoved a fork at us to eat it.It was pretty embarrassing, and I am of a nervous disposition, so we left.So in the end a load of food was left there, and it felt like such a waste.It doesn't seem right or make sense, that once you have paid for your meal you can have as many helpings as you like, but cant take any of it home if you cant finish it.Doesn't seem right when there are people starving in the world, and the carvery are being so petty over something so simple.Most restaurants let you take some home if you wish.The food wasn't exactly fantastic either - fatty gammon, veg was not hot, chef was tight with the meat portions as well to be honest.I make better food at home, and we all enjoy it.We don't get treated like this in other restaurants, so will avoid this place from now on, and so will everyone I know.

We went as a family the only item that was hot was the meat. once the chef sliced the meat he went back to help in the kitchen. all the veg was lukewarm and the roast potatoes were cold. I would not go back here again. ????

We often go here for food and since it had been refurbished we loved it .but slowly its gone down hill .went in yesterday there was a funny smell and the woman who seated us looked scruffy,she sat us at a wet table .wen i asked if i could move to another one she said no someones sitting there which they clearly wasn't. So we got up and left i just didn't feel right . Went to Greenhill's it was much better. no smell ,uniformed staff all with a smile ,and you pick you own seat which isn't it better sitting were you want .....

Visited many time`s The kingsman with friend`s on a regular basis. the place has gone down the pan so quickly. Every time we went in u wud B w8ting for fried egg`s`or otha item`s The arrogant young chef with a beard came out gave me a dirty look & lashed the 4 fried egg`s that took 15mn`s 2 do in`2 dish then walked away. the scrambled egg`s wer like polly filla orange on the top & so dry you cud tell they had been their a while` Wen customer`s complained he came out he just lashed the fresh stuff on top not getting rid of old scrambled dry egg`s. Me & friend`s use 2 visit twice a week but now avoid as service is awful & the manager choose`s 2 turn a blind eye 2 his very rude chef. last week a mother& daughter walked out as no sausage`s no fried egg`s & scrambled egg`s appalling They asked 4 refund` They wer fuming the manager seen this & did`nt even bother 2 speak 2 them 2 c if he cud make them change their mind. Wil not be returning neither wil my friend`s.

Have been to this carvery many times and mostly service has been very good and meal had also been good. The last 3 times I have visited the food has been lukewarm and I have been disappointed. The latest trend of serving a dessert on a wooden platter has come to the carvery. Bring back plates and bowls. I don't want my dessert on a wooden platter. Tables are squeezed in to accommodate more people and I won't be going there again.. more than disappointed

Very friendly pub with nice staff. Good to be able to refill soft drinks for drivers or children so lots of money isn't spent on soft drinks. Not eaten here, but people who have say how lovely and fresh the carvery is.

visit at least once a month with large family group. Food always good value and plenty of choice. Often vouchers available for different courses which is a bonus when paying for a large family group. great family friendly pub with good staff and relaxed atmosphere. Always look forward to going

this is what it is, its a family friendly carvery. the food is pretty cheap and cheerful but pretty tasty for all that. here a couple of times in march as was a regular hang out in my younger days way back when it was just a pub. here with a mate who'd emigrated and was back in town for a visit.though there is an alternative menu, it looked like virtually everyone was going for the carvery, and for the price I couldn't blame them. the standard carvery can be a slice of all the meats, turkey, beef, pork and gammon and all the veg you can carry for 5.99. for an additional £1.50 you get extra sausage and Yorkshire and a bigger plate. there's also a pretty good pud menu, I went for the chocolate sundae, very nice.it may not be gourmet but its good honest pub grub, and who doesn't like a nice roast. a nice and relatively inexpensive meal when you don't fancy cooking yourself, and you'll certainly not come away hungry. go on, dip your bread.

This is a place I pop into for a simple wholesome dinner when we can't be bothered cooking. A good quality roast with good meat for £5.99 - can't really go wrong. Recently refurbished so clean, bright and service is always good enough.Worth a try if your passing and hungry

Love the Kingsman for a meal great selection in the Cavery and very nicely cooked. We go there when we visit relations.

The restaurant is part of a large chain, this one is in the south end of the city, around 2 miles from Speke airport. The portion sizes are very generous, if you don't think so, then you might want to look at your waistband :-).The main problem I had was that the food just had too much salt, everything seemed to be seasoned with salt and it made the food almost inevitable for me. It's a shame and these days when people are trying to reduce their intake of salt that they continue to put so much added salt into the food. Come on sort it out

Nice place and good service but Too much salt in the food. Reasonably sized portions even for those who like a big plate full

Food always good, staff always really lovely. Would recommend this pub, it's always very busy because it's so good, only negative is toilets are a huge let down all the time, they need cleaning and checking more!!!

Large family meal for special occasion and table booked. Guy from behind the tried to take orders and was not only clueless but walked off mid order...! After complaint to supposed duty manager, another waitress took over. Some of party ordered carvery whilst others ordered different menu dishes. Every item arrived at totally different times. Others went to get carvery only to be greeted by rudest carver I have ever met. Shocking amount and quality of meat and ran out of gravy. Desserts also arrived at different times with 14 mins between serving different people. Made a hash of the bill too, overcharged and then kept change without being given, had to see duty manager to get change back. Avoid this place like the plague, has gone so far downhill that I will never return.

The food at the carvery was like the remains from another night. Some was dried up, and there was nearly a fight over the remaining roast potatoes, which were really not worth fighting for.Having taken our sad looking offerings to the table and thinking of making the best of it, there was no best of it, it was barely luke warm.... But wait. here is the waitress., and she is really customer savvy.....she offers to take away our plates and PUT THEM IN THE MICROWAVE..nice ? I don't think so. If we had wanted a microwave meal we could have stayed at home. So we gracefully rejected her very kind offer. Toby Carvery have very little reputation to live up to, but considering this is adjacent to the Travelodge you would expect better customer service than this. Visitors to Liverpool will think we have extremely low standards. Shake yourselves up and show visitors a good time.

We enjoy visiting the Kingsman for our meals when staying in Aigburth. Excellent carvery and breakfast. The staff are helpful and friendly and the food well cooked and thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward already to our next visit.

I have been going here for years since it first opened. It's bright, spacious and the staff are attentive. Not eaten here only drinks

Atmosphere in the pub was warm and friendly, service was superb. Meals where lovely meat cooked to perfection, the only thing I can fault was the table was a bit stickey a long with on of the desert spoons. Would be more than happy to visit again, as long as the table was given a good wipe next time.

This is no ordinary carvery, its the only carvery, the food is great, plenty of choice, the food is hot and fresh, there are 4 different meats to choose from, the service is good and friendly, good value for money

Great place to have a very Good Carvery and also a good well lit Pub attached to it.All the staff are very pleasent and helpfull.Unable to book, but they will always find space for you, maybe with a little waiting time.Without doubt, the best Carvery in the area.A++++++++++

Nice decor & friendly atmosphere! Good carvery & excellent selection of drinks. Friendly staff & x;fast service.

Excellent choice of meats, { a bit dryish|} but the veg was really nice and a big choice! plenty of sauces and different types of gravy. Reasonable price for a nice family tea,

Can't believe the negatives for this place. The reason it is so busy is the food is so good. Standard carvery fare but veg is always spot on. Not the over cooked mush at many such outlets

The Kingsman is a carvery. When we went there, on a Friday evening, were special offers galore. There were ten of us and we were given a table in a room off the main restaurant. Our hostess gave us advice how to best utilise these special offers; which included extra large portions. There was a choice of four meats Beef, Turkey, Pork and Ham. The Yorkshire puddings were unbelievably large; the veg included leeks, cabbage as well as the old regulars. The place was very busy and there was a long delay for puddings. All I can recall is sharing and Eton Mess with my wife (it was too much for one normal person). Our Brazilian friend said that this was his second best meal in this country (after two weeks).

It would never be my first choice of place to have a drink, mainly because they don’t have much variety in way of cask ales, they are chartering for run of the mill larger drinkers.It was appalling! Unruly children, somersaulting on furniture, their parents either encouraging or ignoring them. I was trying to quietly have a drink and read a newspaper and I was subjected to three ‘RugRats’ playing around my feet. Their parents, oblivious to their behaviour, sitting in an adjacent section of the bar. While it would be assumed I’m an ‘old grump’ I do recognize that such carvery style facilities relay on family custom, but they must take into account other clientele. The staff didn’t seem too interested in customer service, although giving it a second go the following day there were two staff members who did raise the standard somewhat. The rest, forget it!!! I still had the unruly kids the second day although not inn the same numbers.I remember the pub from the 80's such a pity its Disintegrated to such levels. NEW MANAGEMENT PLEASE!!!

At the time of our visit to this establishment we were greeted by dirty tables, uncontrolled children running about the place, a television which was pumping out noise ( the area surrounding the TV was empty as it was so loud ) and staff who appeared totally disinterested in service or any other thing relating to their duties. The table area was so dirty that we asked if we could have our drinks in the dining area. The staff said no as they would have to remove the place setting and then replace them when we had finished. Lazy is perhaps a more kind description as they were not exactly over worked. They were clearly not interested so we left, leaving our drinks unpaid and untouched on the bar.

We have just returned from a break in Liverpool and had two evenng meals and two breakfasts at the Kngsman during our stay. All four meals were enjoyable, well cooked food and great selections on both evening carvery and breakfast buffet. The menu caters for veggies too which is really useful. Friendly and helpful staff too. Already looking forward to another visit!

The pub is a typical carvery type establishments. However, it differs in that the it is well below average for cleanlinesses. The tables are sticky and the floor is dirty. Only use this establishment if you are desperate and wash your hand when you leave
