Toby Carvery in Colchester

Great meal Aaron was amazing very professional was quick with requests and great customer service

The food wasn't the greatest, The yoke in all the eggs was hard & the hashbrowns was teethbreaking, black pudding was super dry also 🙁 Nice friendly welcome from staff though!🙂

Very busy venue, all good but not quiet dining

Aaron very helpful in every way nothing too much trouble

Lovely food .Lovely staff .the only problem was pigs in blankets but the manager sorted it out straight way .love ya all

Great roasts and pleasant lady called Jo serving us. Thanks so much.

2nd time here, big mention to Jo and Mikey above and beyond service. Food well cooked, presented, hot and great value, highly recommended

Great breakfast Do love a Sunday morning all you can eat breakie . This is where we go all the time when we fancy a big breakfast.

Had a lovely lunch, and Emma was very attentive and pleasant.

Good food at at good price. Good atmosphere as well. Friendly and welcoming staff. Our server Jo in particular was excellent. Served us quickly and was very friendly

Emma our waitress was very polite, friendly and always smiling even though was rushed off her feet as it was very busy ☺️ 10 out of 10

We went here today for a family meal and everyone enjoyed their food especially the children !. The waitresses were very attentive and quickly topped up gravy and other dishes that were empty or low. Waiters/waitresses were also very polite but only thing we did notice was service was quite slow however, this was not the fault of the waitresses as they did appear to be very busy. We will definetly be back and this Toby Carvery is a great asset to the area.

Brilliant service and value , Jo was also a very hospitable and efficient waiter, highly recommend

Amazing service from Amy! Many thanks

Emma was kind friendly and welcoming, the food was hot and delicious, highly recommended this restaurant to anyone.

Always a pleasure. Emma is a star !

I'm disappointed with this Toby Carvery. The waitress who sat us down placed us between two tables with young children, one was crying, the other was screaming, and one of the parents was smacking his lips to point you could here it across the restaurant. We asked to be sat at another area and the waitress said she only had this table and another one closer to the screaming child, despite the restaurant being close to empty. The table we were sat at had food all over the floor meaning we could not put our bags down, so my wife asked for a broom to sweep up with. Luckily the waitress took the initiative and kindly swept up all of the food on the floor for us but at this point we still hadn't sat down and she asked us what we would like to drink. We politely stated we hadn't looked at the menu yet. After we sat down, we saw the same waitress seat a couple down where we requested to sit, so our table wasn't actually the only table available. The cutlery we were given was not clean and we went to get others from another table which were also not clean. Service from this particular waitress was terrible and i wish we had walked out. But the roasties were calling. Other than that, the different waitress who served us was nice and the food was good which save this review from a single star.

We had a lovely time. The only thing I could comment on was the lighting could be a bit brighter and better.

Emma was so lovely and friendly and made us feel welcome :)

Great service Emma was amazing! Very polite and kind and perfect service x

Our waitress Emma was lovely, very attentive. Food lovely as usual. Only issue I had was, we were sat next to the toilets which wasn’t nice everytime someone came out. And that end was cold and the fire was not lit

Really lovely roast and Emma was a fantastic waitress. Could not fault her. Thanks for a great lunch guys!

Amazing service by Emma thank you so much she was so accommodating without the little ones. Our favourite place now

Fantastic service by Emma. Warm welcome, friendly and efficient. My mum and I both had a lovely Carvery.

A Great experience at Whitehart Toby.

Amy served us today such a lovely girl was so happy x

We went as a group for the unlimited breakfast because I had an email voucher. The problems started as soon as we walked in the door. Voucher despite saying up to 6; people could only be used for one person which left the rest of the group having to sign up which felt like a data collection exercise. The plates were stone cold and the ones by the toast were wet. The food was hit and miss as some bits were luke warm. Very disappointing

Served by Joanne on table 37, table of 5 at 12:00pm. The chef served good portions of meat, all the food was hot and lovely, the only thing I’d say is the mac and cheese was cold, but everything else was perfect. The service was really great, could see she was working really hard. Left very pleased. Thank you for a lovely lunch!!

Always a good meal here with friendly staff. Our favourite of this franchise.

Absolutely shocking experience at the White Hart Toby for breakfast. Booked a table and when we arrived we got to find our own seats. Queued up for 20 mins for the breakfast because the food continously ran out. The chefs were bringing out small portions at a time which would soon go after a few customers. The gentleman in front of us had told us he'd been there 1.5 hours and was yet to get any Sausages because they kept running out. When we got to the front multiple dishes were empty. My husband asked about hash browns and was told it would be a further 5 minute wait. When he questioned this he was told its a Sunday and their busiest day so what do we expect. It was very obvious they just couldn't keep up with the demand (even though multiple tables were empty). When going up for coffee there was no sugar and they ran out of spoons When taking our little girl to the toilet, the disabled toilets was dirty and the gents toilets were disgusting (my husband made a complaint about this) Multiple people commented on the poor service. We will not be returning.

Our waitress took quite a while to take our drinks order. The starters took at least half an hour to arrive. The carvery looked messy and on eating the food was only warm and the gravy nearly cold. On ordering desserts we were told about four weren't available - luckily had what we wanted which were tasty. No one around to pay so had to go the bar and apparently our waitress had gone off duty!!

Came in on Tuesday and was served by Kaleigh who was so friendly and helpful, quick service, food was tasty and good value for money. Will come again

Good food and helpful, polite staff. Highly recommended. Dined here a few times recently and food and service is very good.

Way too busy. Shown to a table after waiting 10 minutes for our table. Then just left there with no idea how to order, no one came over. So we left. It was SO busy and rammed full of tables very close together! I was looking forward to trying the roast for our first time but it’s definitely prioritising amount of tables over actual service and comfort

Always a good roast. We were served by Jo who was so lovely, excellent service.

Very good service from Hannah, lovely food

Turkey was lovely, and Hannah's service was great. Would eat here again.

Good food,apart from kept running out of most things such as parsnips and gravy, waited over 5mins to be served, drinks were served half way through eating our meal.one waiter came out of kitchen moaning about kitchen staff, manager said to one waitress not my problem they are your customers.Will not be returning.Have had lovely carverys' in Braintree and Chelmsford

Waitress Hannah was lovely very attentive to our needs & very cheerful 😊

We were very happy with the service from Jo.

Good quality roast dinners. Often, it gets busy, but online booking is easy to navigate. The car park is fairly small but does have wheelchair spaces. There is an overflow carpark nearby. My only criticism of the place is the very tiny accessible toilet.

Great service tonight from Joe!! Lovely lady and very helpful… made our experience.

Our server Jo was very kind and attentive

We often use this toby carvery, normally in the week as we found Sundays were too busy .

My daughter and I booked for dinner tonight and arrived early, it was lovely to see the restaurant busy but understandably our table wasn’t ready. My daughter struggles with waiting due to her autism and a member of staff recognised us as she had served us a few times previously. She picked up on that my daughter was getting overwhelmed and called us through and see us to the table and whilst interacting with my daughter quickly set the table. My daughter loves the carvery and being able to help herself to her dinner. Your waitress JO again after interacting with my daughter quickly served her “pudding” . I asked for the bill and JO brought this as well as letting me know of the discount currently on offer via the app. JO is a very attentive member of staff and I am grateful for kindness tonight in making our visit delightful. Thank you Jo and we look forward to saying hello when we next visit. Dave hall

Absolutely delicious carvery. Hannah the waitress was lovely, friendly and helpful. First time here and will be visiting again

Lovely meal great service from Hannah

Very helpful and friendly Emma was , would love her to wait on us again!!

Absolutely spot on! Sunday roast never fails. Hannah was great with service, very friendly indeed!

Hannah provided a great service for us

First time visit, got seated ok no cutlery on table , one of our party went and got drinks from the bar and as no one had come over to our table we went up to get our food there was four of us and two went to get food while the other two stayed at table then we swapped over , had to request cutlery from manager and she delegated and we still had to wait for ages ,and the other two in our group had to wait for the carver to arrive back too. Later, I had to go up to the bar for more drinks as no one around . Finally ordered desserts at the table and a coffee , the bar staff had to bring coffee over as it stood for ages waiting to be brought over

Lovely service by Amy. And Hannah Good food. Reasonably priced

Great food and excellent customer service!

Good visit, our server Amy was lovely!

Amiee was attentive and went above and beyond.

Greeting wasn’t the best. Food was good . staff whom served us named Amy was AMAZING . Polite helpful very friendly welcoming with a wonderful personality . Thank you Amy .

Nothing has to change the staff as wonderful and polite and kind and the food is fantastic be back agen soon thank you only thing that needs work is the disabled parking us there is not many and the ones that have parked there do not have a badge and it’s very hard with the wheelchair in a regular parking place

Lovely place, they now serve turkey, beef, gammon and lamb! The only downside for me was they had their floors recently cleaned (which is great) but as I'm disabled I felt like Bambi on ice 😅

hannah was very lovely and we received great service.

Hannah done a very good job serving us

Great service from Hannah; very friendly, helpful and attentive. Thank you!

Lovely experience Had a lovely waitress Jo

The waitress Joe was lovely to be served by! She had such positive energy and attitude towards the customers, she is an absolutely amazing server :)

Jo served us all a lively table of 9. She was excellent, really happy and friendly

Guy who served us today was so good, running around clearing tables, serving and being ever so helpful. Makes such a difference coming in and having a friendly server

Staff are helpful and polite, food is well cooked, fresh, and plenty of it and just a nice place to sit and have some good food with family/ friends.
