Toby Carvery in Colchester

Great venue for a big family get together. Kieran, our waiter, went out of his way to accommodate our group and nothing was too much trouble. We were made very welcome and the food was great

Just another toby good food reasonable prices ok place

Not impressed. Got there with a booking for 2 waited 10 minutes to be Seated then sat there for 15 minutes, and having to get up and ask for drinks and cutlery, then 10 minutes later my partner had to go ask again. The staff remembered we ordered it and then went and got it. Roast potatoes where hard on the inside so not fully cooked. will not be returning anytime soon as was not impressed at all.

Unfortunately it was very busy and very under staffed. And what staff there was went on their breaks together. Other wise good value for money and a lovely pub

Overall it was all so lovely however when I asked to change my desert one of the staff members rolled her eyes at me as if it was something major.

Was very busy so had a long wait to. Get food.

Our server was Joanne (Jo) and was absolutely amazing. A breath of fresh air, didn’t stop running about keeping everyone happy but still had time to stop, laugh and joke with us and all the other tables she was serving. Even in the busiest of times, with staff like that everything will continue to run smoothly. The food was top notch, the carver was friendly and welcoming to the children. Overall, it was a lovely evening out.

On our way back to Great Bentley decided to pop I. White hart Toby carvery, fantastic service friendly staff, Joanne our waitress was very jolly very helpful polite Xxxxx

We had a brilliant experience! Amy was so great with our children, making the whole experience amazing 😍

Food was very nice, we didn’t have to wait to be seated and queue for the carvery was very short so we were able to get our food quick and service from Kieran was very nice.

Always great service at Colchester Toby...we travel from Sudbury to enjoy our Toby

Your standard “pub grub” all you need to fill your belly! Roast was slightly cold but no other issues! Our host Amy was extremely attentive and friendly! Big perk is its dog friendly!🐾

The food was okay , the service from Amy was great. Nice cozy atmosphere and overall worth it. Pet friendly as well.

Emma was a pleasure to have serving us Food great service excellent

Amazing food and great service, shout out to Emma who provided great service!

Just visited the White Hart Toby Carvery with my dad for his 81st birthday. Access is great for less mobile visitors, prices are brilliant value for money, and all staff were extremely accommodating. We were lucky enough to be served by Jo, who was friendly, efficient, helpful and considerate. Everything was fabulous and would recommend this venue highly. The food was fresh and plentiful, and the atmosphere was really pleasant. Thanks to the whole team (especially Jo!) for giving my dad (and us) a lovely lunch.

Food wasn't very hot. Roast potatoes were anaemic. Vegetables were not hot and meat portions could have been better. A complete disaster all round.

Had a lovely meal at the Toby, Jo was lovely, very bubbly and kind, fantastic service and fantastic food

Food is always lovely, staff are so friendly. Our waitress Amy was absolutely lovely and looked after us so well despite the extremely busy restaurant!

Jo was our waitress, absolutely lovely lady. Very friendly , took time to chat to the kids. Quick service for everything we needed. Thank you very much 😊

Consistently good food at excellent prices. Staff are more than helpful and friendly. Never had a bad visit to this Toby.

Food was lovely and Joe saved me about 50 quid from using the voucher loved it here

Hannah was our waitress. Always lovey food.

Hannah was a fantastic host, efficient and bubbly!

We was served by Hannah, she was knowledgeable with the food and drinks menu, and provided us with a friendly and fast service. We definitely will be returning customers.

Overcharged for a meal we didnt have, service was very poor and the beef was disgusting. Will not be going back to Colchester

We had Hannah as our waitress today and she was absolutely amazing, so friendly and nothing was to much to ask for!

Lovely experience thanks to the lady who helped me today, Hannah. Perfect lunch !

We was served by Hannah, she was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. From being taken to our table, ordering and receiving our drinks, in a quick time, considering it was very busy, was a credit to her. We will definitely be returning customers.

Hannah was amazing she was friendly and lovely and helped us with anything we needed.

Always enjoy coming here. Toby Carvery tends to vary in quality based on which one you go to and this is definitely a good one. You can tell how good it is by how busy it usually is! Always stocking up the food on the carvery and good quality food as well. Hannah, our server, was lovely as are all the staff here!

Emma our waitress was amazing 🙌🏻

Food was great quality and great price. Amy served us and was very welcoming and helpful 😊

Good food. Good and polite service

Always great food when coming in here, Jo served us, lovely lady.

Came for a carvery today with my friends , have not been in years, food was lovely but the service form Jo was even better!! Thank you Jo! 🤍

Jo who served our table was incredible. She is a credit to the business and was extremely pleasant and helpful. The staff and service is second to none. The food was very good except the mac and cheese which was a little dry. Other than that a fine restaurant with some exceptional staff, especially Jo!

I went to Toby last night with a group of friends and as usual, it did not disappoint! We were served by Callum at the Stanway restaurant and he was a good laugh as well as being kind and knowing how to do his job. Thanks!

Had a lovely meal with the family. The wait times weren't long at all considering it was a Sunday. Our server HANNAH was lovely and catered for every need including allergies.

The food was all fresh and stayed hot, this has been the best toby carvery we have visited in essex.

Amy gave a polite and attentive service and food and atmosphere was nice 😊

Joanne was very helpful and she works so hard for you guys. She's is superwoman!! She clears tables, takes payments, delivers drinks and food very efficiently and she is a real asset to the company!! Give her a raise or promotion!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Our waitress Hannah was amazing today. Made us feel welcome and was able to accommodate our fussy requests. Need more waitresses like her

Me and the missus had an amazing meal on Friday,thank you for the perfect service Hannah!! 100% will be coming to this Toby carvery again!!

Excellent service and food. Staff friendly and helpful. Good value for money meals.

Service good, wine good, food ok. Turkey over cooked and dry, Yorkshire puddings like rubber but potato and vegetable all ok

Great food, service and always happy with value. I think this place needs more staff though, our waitress seemed a little overwhelmed

Myself and my 3 children went to toby carvery in Stanway today for dinner and we had excellent service from callum, he was brilliant very polite and kind.

Huge portions and definitely get your moneys worth. Tasty meat and Yorkshires

Excellent food & table service couldn't fault it 😊

The staff were warm, and friendly and quick to greet us. The food was excellent, and the experience was lovely.

Excellent trip to Toby. The white hart retains the character of a pub along with being a great carvery. The staff are always welcoming and are happy to help.

Jo aka the mythical waiter made our experience magical, we was knighted by the refillable cups jo brought out and gave us VIP entrance to the buffet. Jo the legend until our next visit

What a great place to have dinner or a late lunch. This place has everything you need to fuel your belly. Sunday roast dinner any day of the week. The selections of sides and proteins to choose from along with the gravies and toppings that accompany your meats. The yorkshire pudding is massive. Just the way they should be. Whether your craving pork roast & crackling, beef roast, ham, turkey and all the fixings. This restaurant has it all. One plate piled high was plenty of food for one person. The food was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place. Come hungry is best.

Food was lovely, our waitress Tiana was very friendly and helpful she made our visit very pleasent and as I suffer with severe anxiety she made me feel so at ease I will decently be returning very soon

This is one of the best Toby Carvery’s around, the staff are friendly and food is always good. Kieran is especially helpful kind and attentive.

Very good beaf, a little fatty. Otherwise, very good.

Jo was absolutely amazing, foods brilliant as usual, we drive over from Ipswich just to come eat out here its that good, hope to be back soon!
