We popped in for a late lunch on Sunday, although they were short staffed the man carving the meat was friendly and efficient. Ann (our server) was rushed off her feet but lovely and so kind. Staff are a credit to the brand!

I had the best time in this pub/ restaurant it was great. Very welcoming and they had the most welcoming staff ever it was a pleasure to visit. We were working next door so this was our local for a few weeks and it couldn’t have been better. Food was amazing and staff were brilliant

The staff were welcoming and drinks service was good. There was a huge queue for the carvery and didn’t seem to be enough staff. The food was all over the counter tops and was cold. The restaurant itself is in desperate need of cleaning. The floor had visibly ground in dirt and the tiled floor was sticky. The toilets were disgustingly the doors were covered again in black dirt. Food average but sadly it has gone really downhill.

Fantastic service didn't get the lady's name said she's just back from holiday shame the food didn't match the service scraps of dry meat and had just opened metro centre or cleadon next time we fancy a roast sadly quality of food massively let's this branch down 👎

Went on 16/8/24, absolutely disgusting, put on table in bar, no service had to order at bar, meat was all fat, vegetables dried out , had to ask for Yorkshire puds and gravy was full of lumps, had to ask for table to be cleared and was told only 2 staff so would clear when they could, asked for puds and a chef said she would see if they had cream, she was filthy and hair uncovered and her words were, I diving kna if we have any I’ll have to look. They did have and puds were ok, won’t be back and we are regulars even go Xmas day normally.

Waiting staff were nice. One young lad was quite rude. But he thought we'd helped ourselves to carvery. But had infact gone for veg as my lad hadn't put any on to start with. Sandwich had no butter on. And as I ordered cheese, n chutney wouldn't have been an issue. But no chutney. So very dry. Side salad was smothered in a vinegarette. And I couldn't eat it. Perhaps need to remember to ask for no dressing in future.

Spent 20 minutes listening to a female member of staff swearing and talking to a couple who were obviously her friends. My son decided to approach the bar to order drinks, but there was no-one to take his order, only a queue. When the waitress had finished talking, she turned to me and asked if I would like to order drinks, but too late. Food was not up to the usual standard, Yorkshire's were hard and tough, roast potatoes were not roasted. All in all, we felt like we were in the staffs way, as it was 8:10pm on a Thursday. And to think that I've been turned away from this carvery before, because I didn't book. Never again Will I visit the Kingston park venue, I think I'll try a competitors on the team valley.

We arrived at 8.30pm were sat immediately, we ordered a drink and made our way to the carvery. The meat was brilliant, cooked and tasted perfect. However NO mash potatoes told the chef has no more for today !! What a carvery with no mash potatoes, roast yes but they were very greasy but no carvery has no mash surely. Unfortunately when starting to eat we both admitted it was luke warm and the gravy not close to warm. Whilst appreciate it closes at 9am surely food should be kept hot and topped up until finished. We will NOT be back again, had been on hospital visit and thought we would give it a try. Totally disappointed.

I've given Five stars all round. Staff were excellent, friendly and really pleasant. I called in today not for food but just for a coffee with my mother and my son. Really pleasant atmosphere with a great mix of people of all ages. Would highly recommend this Toby. The whole place was immaculate including the gents. The food looked absolutely amazing. Next time we go we are most definitely having the carvery. With being not able to walk very far I managed to park in a disabled bay and displayed my Blue badge. Sadly some absolute " IDIOT" in a huge Tesla parked so close to my car I cannot understand how they managed to get out. My son had to squeeze into my car to drive it out of the disabled bay for me to get access to my car. Nothing to do with the Toby, they are not responsible for IDIOT irresponsible drivers that park without thinking about disabled drivers. Had I not been with my mother if have went back into the pub to tell said IDIOT DRIVER exactly what I thought of him or her!!

Chose to sit in bar and bar service was fine from a polite dark haired lady. Unfortunately no stuffing ready for turkey carvery. Carving chef when asked advised it would be a few minutes, which was communicated appropriately. However while adding veg to my plate she was heard asking the other chef who was replenishing how long for stuffing, his reply was they'll have to be patient it's busy cooking! Made me feel I'd asked for something I shouldn't have! Not what I expect to be honest. Chose Apple pie for dessert but no ice cream accompany bit bit

Gracie our server made a point of talking and including each member of our group especially our 10 year old son. The whole place was spotless. The experience of the servery was top class. The food was beautiful. The pudding amount was awesome. We didn’t wait long to pay which was smooth and stress free. I can’t explain how easy and fulfilling our experience was. Your server Gracie was 10 out of 10 for friendliness, customer service, efficiency, with a beautiful welcoming smile. She definitely deserves recognition. Well done. We will most certainly be back.

Alana was a lovely girl who really did her very best to provide a fantastic service, even spotting when one of our party's meals was substandard and taking appropriate action. However, there was no avoiding the fact that the food and choice of food on the buffet was not to the standards of other Toby Carveries. We visited at the end of the day, whether this made any difference, I don't know. Alana, 5★, overall, 3★.
