Booked a table of 3. Came in, was welcomed by a lovely man, who made us feel welcome straight away. He took us to our table, where Wendy came over and looked after us. She was polite, happy and professional. She looked after us really well. The chef was lovely too. The food was delicious. Thank you for you hard work. We will be back very soon.

Lovely carvery. Friendly staff - especially Jake who was wielding a knife when he asked for a review. (Don’t worry - it came up in conversation as he was carving the meat cos that’s his job) (of which he is good at 👀) There was a great variety of meat and vegterribles. I would definitely return. Also, loving the new interior. Very smart.

I can't fault the staff in any way. All lovely, friendly and helpful. Heather was the lady who served us and she was fantastic! The food was nice, but the selection of vegetables has gone down hill. Not a lot of variety at all. Being a vegetarian, the vegetables are the main event in my books.

Today I visited Toby Carvery at Cooper Dean with my family, and unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. The service was appalling, as the person who attended to us was extremely rude his name was JAKE and made us feel unwelcome. It honestly felt as though we were being treated like we were asking for charity rather than simply enjoying a meal. The food might have been fine, but the attitude of the staff completely overshadowed the entire visit. I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others to consider the atmosphere and service before choosing this location. The ASSISTANCE MANAGER was even worst If you don’t want to serve food to people from other parts of the world simply say it. I’m not used to post reviews but this time was too much

Food was served from the carvery. We both found the food vegetables were very cool on the servers buffet.

Nice meat selection, tasty and tender. Considering it was lunchtime, roasties a bit rubbery. Horseradish sauce like water with lumps and mustard was inedible!! Ice cream excellent, sponge pud good too. Service a bit slow, drinks order forgotten, had to ask for them. We usually go to Toby at Northbourne but couldn't get a table. Unlikely we would go back to Cooper Dean.

We have ordered takeaway breakfasts from here a few times the english breakfast and breakfast rolls are great and good quality. But the last time we ordered with hash browns (6 of them!) and they were completely burnt, hard as a rock and stone cold, has completely put me off ordering from them again. You wouldn't serve it like that in a restaurant or even to a animal, I had to chuck them in the bin as didnt want to risk cracking a tooth! Not sure why a staff member would consciously make a decision to serve them to a customer, People who order takeaway food should be shown the same respect and standards as someone in the restaurant, we often end up paying more with the fees etc

Had a wonderful experience today. We had a 3:30 reservation and arrived slightly ahead of time. All the staff were lovely and welcoming. We were seated right away, and our hostess quickly took our drink orders. The chef was fantastic and very accommodating. like making bowls readily available for the Mac and cheese to avoid gravy ending up on it to the delight of my friend. Our hostess was sweet and professional, never too far from our table in case we needed anything. She didn't hover but was always ready to help while efficiently attending to her other tasks.

The waitress for our table was very sweet and never too far for any requests, she was very clearly dedicated to her job and these two really solidified the pleasant experience me and my friend had.

Visited for work team Christmas meeting, food looks ok but if you are vegan not the best choice plus you need to wait for your food separately. I ordered some mushroom pie it wasn't hot or satisfying, and the vegetables were very dry and plasticky. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. Outdated interiors would not necessarily come back unless another function.

We visited Toby for a carvery. We were so impressed that I had to leave a review . Our waitress Gilly was superb. She was so bubbly, helpful, polite and very efficient with great advice, over and above her job. The chef at the carvery Mitch, was also very helpful and smiley . The meat was moist and tasty and the veg was hot and tasty, although the sprouts were a little underdone. My mother in law, a very good cook herself, said the apple pie was the best she had eaten. We will definitely be going back and gave no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Vicky really looked after us well, (with plenty of smiles and friendly chat which my elderly mother appreciated), and the chef, (I forget his name, but he has a beard if that helps!), offerred to take my mother's carvery lunch to her, while I sorted mine out. That was so kind, and a big help - thanks chef. Our carvery luches were so delicious, and good to have roast pasnips back again! Doombar beer, easy parking, wheelchair friendly, good toilets, good value and lovely food... Thanks again Vicky, and Merry Christmas! We'll be back again soon.

Management/'Owner' DREADFUL! If it wasn't for the two fabulous Chef/Carver my review would have been dreadful. I urge you to read on before coming with anyone with a disability... Upon arrival the carvery was VERY quiet. We asked for a booth as we had two disabled & neurodivergent children with us who were both having an episode at the time. We were informed there were no booths available as they don't have any and the one that was there and empty (in front of us) was kept for an overflow of awaiting customers! (The place was dead and no customers were waiting at 3.45pm!) I asked could we please sit there explaining our situation and the help it would be with children with sensory needs but was categorically told NO regardless of disabilities! I then explained my son's complex eating issues but I was told there were no Yorkshire pudding wraps available, melt down pending I explained he would only eat a slice of meat and a y.puddin' I asked if I could make my own 'wrap' and asked how many Yorkshire pudding I could have on a child's meal and how much meat was included to fill it. Anyone with a child with sensory eating needs knows how hard eating out can be so anxiety was running high and I was praying dinner could be as easy and successful as possible. Anyway, I was told by our server that I could squash 1 Yorkie and add a small amount of meat. It was also mentioned I'd bought him to the wrong place if he didn't like potatoes or vegetables! 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, upon talking to the chefs (Jake and Chris M) they couldn't do enough to help and came back with "we can do little man a wrap. Tell us how he will eat it and give us 3 minutes" MELTDOWN AVERTED and a very happy little boy who actually ate his meal. The wrap was fabulous and the chef even came out to check it was ok with my son asking for a high five!! What a credit to the company. This is the reason I gave the food component 5 stars! However, whilst waiting for the children to eat we decided to do a Google review and upon writing it we found two empty booths away from the front entrance which we couldn't originally see and the original booth we were told we categorically couldn't use was now seating (restaurant still quiet) a table of six having their meal. I asked to speak to the same manager/owner and asked why he'd allowed another family to eat there and not us, explaining again our needs etc. He insisted the family had booked but when I challenged him had they booked that table he said no they had made an exception and seated them there. There were loads of large tables available, so why could they use a table we had been told was solely for an overflow of customers?! Surely we had a need? I calmly and politely challenged him. The management response was "we seated you and you were happy with that. (We weren't and moved) You're welcome to leave a Google review but it will be one of us, well me actually replying to you!" I hope Mitchells & Butler are aware of how their chain is being represented. Toby Carvery, is this your policy on inclusivity.

El pub parece haberse deslizado cuesta abajo. Todavía está razonablemente limpio y ordenado (excepto el inodoro de caballeros) pero el ambiente no es bueno. El personal del bar parece muy desinteresado y se escabullen en una habitación detrás de la barra. Ser atendido es complicado. La comida está bien, pero en realidad no es demasiado La clientela parece mucho más antigua. En general, muy lúgubre.

Usually enjoy shopping here but recent experiences have changed that. Often feel like I’m constantly being judged by the staff which makes for an uncomfortable shopping experience. Have also felt like they’re rarely have clothes in Medium size which is disappointing. I already find it a bit stressful shopping as a man and this isn’t helping.
