Toby Carvery in South Bucks

Went yesterday to find the kitchen closed. It closes at 8pm with no information on the website to tell you this. So waste of time. Tonight we booked a table for 7:20pm. Arrived to a guest outside saying the mash potatoes were dreadful and to avoid. Got to the reception to find they only had gammon. We don’t eat pigs as we had them as pets for years. We were told the chefs/staff had not cooked any more meat when told it was all running low. We went to look at the carvery before paying as advised; an almost finished dry looking gammon and the veg was all mostly empty or almost empty except for the full tub of mummified looking peas. A few horrid looking roast potatoes. Just all looked disgusting. We left and won’t be returning. I think ‘The Roast’ has lost its home!

This was not the best Toby I have been to . It's quiet an ordinary experience here.

Great food, decent service. The ambience is a bit dull but overall, good experience of visit

My family went today (3 of us) today Saturday 8th March for Breakfast @ 09:30am. Very little selection available, no beans when I asked if they were coming out I was told by a cook that they had sold out. No scrabbled eggs. Only a few mushrooms and sausages in the pot. Hash browns hard. When we went to cook toast one side was barely cooked & they other nothing, turned over & put in again it came out burnt. All the food was cold, we barely ate it. Wish we hadn’t gone there, not only a waste of our time but also money £££. I would expect this sort of selection & colder food towards the end of the breakfast service but not at 09:30am. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, only people on 4 tables. Won’t go there again for breakfast, terrible.

Lovely lunch. All the team were very welcoming and great with my two small children. Food was great and our waiter Oscar was very friendly. Thank you!

Good food, good service, needs a good dust of beams over food area

Great service! Friendly staff! Food was lovely and hot and very enjoyable

Nice meal but they need to but more meat on the plates and cut the meat properly

No meet available for over an hour at the carving station. Over 3 hours for a family meal. Was the worst experience I’ve ever had eating out felt so understaffed.

Good prices Service is slow Not a lot of atmosphere

My favourite Toby carvery. Staff and food are always top notch. Easy parking and cleaned frequently inside.

We booked a table, arrived 15 minutes early and walked out after nearly 2 hours having not eaten any food! The people in front of us had been queuing for 45 minutes. They prioritise take away orders and left the carving station unmanned constantly for 10 minutes or longer. Queues for the carvery were snaking through the restaurant and the waiting staff were constantly having to ask people to move. You are making enough money, employ another carver… Never again!

Lovely breakfast, bacon was amazing

Came here for Sunday roast. Can't much complain. Food could be bitore hot (including my apple pie) coffe was just warm as well. But maybe is just me, liking my food piping hot 😅 Pancakes was a bit disappointing as we were expecting something bit bigger. Place was pretty busy, but people working around nice and polite .

Different manager from last time so better service ,even grouchy waitress warmed up eventually. Food same as always.

Very poor carvery service. Otherwise OK

Went for breakfast Tuesday best I’ve had in there yet. They definitely got a new chef!

Staff were wonderful we really enjoyed our time. My husband had a dizzy spell almost blacked out which was quite scary so we had to leave early but the staff were so accommodating, assisted me in calling an ambulance etc they were so nice. We will be coming back soon. Wanted to thank you guys again for being so caring and sweet. Oh and the food was lovely too! Tamara x SkipCopy review and post to Google

Had a lovely lunch at The Ugly Duckling Denham. Staff lovely and friendly especially our server Sharon. Will definitely come back again.

Last minute Toby Carvery dinner, we got seated quickly, one of our party had allergies, the waitress Nicky explained they have introduced new approach for people with allergies. They now cook everything separately and fresh for any guests with allergies she explained it would take longer so she sorted this first to ensure we could all eat at the same time. They were quite busy but it was organised however, no cutlery or napkins were on the table. The Carvery was well stocked however, it was not clear how the process worked there were 2 guys serving, were both preparing take away delivery orders at the same time as serving the main Carvery. I didn't have an issue with witing just not clear what the process was as they did not acknowledge we were waiting to be served. The slices of meat served on the plate were very thin, it appeared the guy was trying his best to ration the meat not sure why, I asked for more beef then changed my mind as the blood trickled down as he was carving the joint of beef, he was not happy and proceeded to remove the meat from my plate I asked for more Pork but this was an awkward request although granted. The meal was pleasant and most importantly hot. waitress checked that everything was okay with our meal, she was very busy but was very cheerful and helpful during our visit, we had desert chocolate orange sponge with custard and apple and plumb crumble one with ice cream and one with vegan custard they were ok. We were able to get 25% off our mains as they have a promotion this was helpful. 😊 Overall a pleasant evening.👌

It could have been better service was so slow

Usually good Carvery, seated 9 of us happily together but we had booked 2 tables.

Arrived here and our table wasn't ready the staff was friendly and the carvery was decent not the best Toby's I've visited by far

Brilliant hot breakfast this morning piping hot

Usual Toby standard but the dining room is a bit tired, needs a face lift.

Was great food. Eat all u can veg. Nicki the server was great. Good for kids too

Righteous! Really lives up to its name. 3 different meats to choose from and also as much crackling as you can stomach. The food itself is great quality and cooked to perfection, but doesn't really stay hot under those lights. Staff are great, so helpful and courteous. Server on the carvery is witty, waiting staff are observant and vigilant. I'll defo be back again. Don't forget to register your car if you park there. The machines are right next to the Maitre d' so you can't avoid it and the signage is everywhere. If you're passing by and feeling hungry you won't be disappointed.

Had a lovely meal , staff were very good Keep up the high standards you have got with your team, well done

Great food, service and ambience.

As soon as you enter the 'vibes' are of a warm cosy atmosphere, even though it is quite a large place. Families, children, and friends can be seen having a relaxed, fun time. The brightness of the place and not forgetting the excellent food and service add up to a very pleasant experience all round. Well done.

Lovely Toby, good food and very warm and friendly staff

Amazing food for an even more amazing price, great service, me and my son very much enjoyed our meal here, would recommend this to absolutely anyone that is willing to listen

The bartender wearing the bolo tie and styling himself a mullet that served me on Saturday was absolutely incredible. He poured the best Guinness pints I’ve seen from any bartender that has served me before. Had a great laugh with him for the several hours I was there. This staff member was definitely worthy of Tobey. His customer service was amazing and I would definitely come again in the future. Gave him the tip he deserved.

Very busy carvery. I enjoyed a scrumptious dinner. Plenty to eat on your plate, it was stacked high like the Eiffel Tower. I ate cherry Bakewell pudding for dessert with custard. Loved the indulgence. Friendly staff. Free parking. Swift service. No complaints.

Excellent food and service All round very good

Absolutely amazing love the staff and the food

What a great Sunday roast. Really good meat and hot and tasty veg. Big selection too.

Delicious breakfast, great choice and always hot. Also had evening meal, carvery is always a winner.Great staff very attentive. The barman called George was very polite.

Useless place. After driving 30 minutes I arrive (by myself) at 5:45pm on a Thursday evening as a walk in to be told they’re “low on meat” and only accepting people who have booked. That’s like going to KFC and being told “there’s no chicken” or Pret and being told “we’ve run out of coffee”.

Food and service was excellent. Always impressed with their mid-week offers.

Went just before Christmas, over booked, under staffed and only turkey available

We travel 45-60 mins to this Toby for a reason. It’s the best one out of the 3 close to London. We were served by Charlie C during our recent visit and he was great! Impeccable customer service and a lovely lad! Food is great, staff are always lovely and everything always perfect!

Service with a smile from the waitress. Carvery...diabolical! Food was cold throughout with hints of warmth. Gravy, poor. Mashed potato, watery. Cauliflower cheese, watery. Carrots, dried out. Sadly had to call waitress to collect and remove from the table. Explained the above. Was offered to reheat it. Uh...no thanks because it tastes awful also. Was offered to choose an alternative from the menu. Refused. Not wasting time or money here based on what I just tried. Very disappointing

Clean and very efficient service

Poor choice very basic breakfast. No one there on arrival had to hunt around for staff. Staff were very pleasant and accommodating. What was served taste good. Advised free drinks for kids online not it restaurant.

Visited for breakfast and have zero complaints. Food was hot and delicious, I went up twice and it was refreshed in between, both servings tasted equally as good. Bacon and eggs were done just right and seasoned perfectly, not all dry, hard or crispy which is often a fault I find with places that serve breakfast. 5 out of 5!

Good service. The lady that served us was great. Not the best atmosphere, untidy car park, beer glasses left outside, general mess in the car park. The chef that served us was nice too. Food was good.

Absolute feast. Excellent food and excellent service.

Home of the roast ? Not in my book. Cold & over cooked veg. Staff were great though.

Lovely Boxing Day meal, nicely surprised by how nice it was. Our server Nicky was amazing thank you!

Nice food friendly staff was really nice

Meat good Vegetables terrible service good

The venue was nice and clean, bar staff and waitress were very helpful, food wasn't that exciting but ok. The person in charge of serving the portions of meat, couldn't see more disinterested but it was quite funny watching him serve was like watching a background extra in a film, performance was everything. However I would be happy to visit again.

We always have a wonderful experience and have been served by Nicki several times. She’s always amazing and does so much for us! We can’t thank her enough! Food is always great and atmosphere is fab too even during the busy periods!

Visited this place last week , and a bit confused about the customer service. As I entered establishment a young lady was standing near the entrance to meet and greet.She was dealing with a couple then proceeded to come to see me ( So I thought).As I turned to her thinking, she was going to ask me where I'd like to seat ect ect she promptly briskly walked off and just stood to the side and ignored me completely. Thing is , it has happened before at this place .It is either I look like some dirty old man , or they don't give a stuff about lone patrons ? Will n̈ot be returning there , it was very puzzling.

I just wanted to take a moment to give a special shout-out to Curtis at Toby Carvery Denham. He truly is the best server we could ask for! Curtis is always so friendly, making sure that not only my family but also my dietary needs are taken care of with great attention. He’s incredibly personable and goes out of his way to make us feel welcome every time we visit. What really sets him apart is how great he is with my kids. They absolutely love him! His jovial personality always makes them laugh, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys interacting with them. It’s rare to find someone who is so dedicated to their role and brings such a positive energy to the table. Thank you, Curtis, for always making our visits memorable. You’re a real asset to the team!

Wonderful, best pub in the region 🥰❤️

I had the best time over toby restaurant, friendly stuff, amazing food and very clean . Definitely will be back .

We always enjoy this particular branch of Toby Carvery but even more especially when we were looked after by your very long serving employee Diane. She is a true star and absolutely brilliant at her job.

Great experience all around good food, service and atmosphere very packed but was looked after

Top place for a carvery. We come here frequently. Staff are really lovely and it's a nice atmosphere, unlimited soft drinks are well worth it. Lots on offer but be careful booking a table late in the evening as there's a higher chance they'll run out of meat. Heartbroken you've taken the dauphinoise potato/hot pot dish off the carvery. Please bring it back! My only complaint is needing to get the drinks on the table a bit quicker. We're often still waiting for them after having already started our meals. Lots of discounts and deals available if you sign up to their mailing list or download the app so that's worth doing too.

Nice food very busy and not many staff

Can't fault the quality for the price. Kind and happy staff. Full stomach and now napping.

Beautiful Christmas season 2024

As always great food and atmosphere and staff.

Had a lovely time with Grandma this evening. The food was delicious as always and great value for money. Our server Nicki was lovely as very quick. She was checking in on us to make sure everything was to our liking and of course it was. Very good experience. Would recommend.

Food was lovely,but was not happy with the service,as we had to wait 15mins for staff to attend us.also when we had finished our food,we were waiting for quite a while as needed to order ice cream etc,but 3female member's of staff,were chatting away on the corner table. if anytime,staff went pass,we tried to smile at them .but we were ignored.wasnt happy with the service at all . Don't think will recommend this place to anyone ,as it was my birthday today & thought will go somewhere nice .but didn't enjoy my day.

Excellent food and service good choice of meats waiters brilliant and very thoughtful

Great food on a Sunday, saves you having to cook, excellent customer service and lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back! *Remember to put your registration in at the desk or you might get a ticket!

Very busy, possibly short of front of house staff for a promotional Friday night

As Always, Good Food..Staff Always Friendly..Highly Recommended.

Yes. Toby at Denham is so good ! Staff are really friendly and more you go more they they get to no you.

Clean fresh food hot polite waiters

Nice selection of veg, the gravy was extremely thin & un enjoyable. But tight with the meat too but other than that everything was pleasant enough. It’s a good plate of food for a decent price, you pay for what you get. Always check for deals online Lots of parking. Clean restaurant

AVOID AT ALL COSTS waited over an hour to be seen by waitress and food needed a few more mins cooking, boiled carrot was crunchy when i bit it and the potato’s were hard inside still

Food was awful. All meats dried up and veg dry and cold . I couldn't even eat . Nothing looked fresh . Waitress was nice.

Love this place. Nice and clean, staff amazing, especially Narinder who always has a smile on his face, is friendly and carves the meat to perfect! - forgot to mention, Curtis and all the other stuff, too. Everyone is great! 100% recommend if you want a good roast at excellent prices

Brilliant food but roasting hot insidse

Great food, lovely staff, everyone is very helpful

Great value for money and great quality!

Good food though bacon was over crispy. Will come back for the dinner which Looked good.

Amazing food and lovely service! The carvery is one of the best in the area, can’t wait to go again! Great value too!

Lovely from A to Z. Highly recommend!

Review of Denham Toby Carvery, UK The Denham Toby Carvery, located just off the M25, is a quintessentially British dining experience known for its traditional roast dinners served in a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. Catering to both locals and travelers, it offers a classic carvery menu with a focus on quality and value. Upon entering, the ambiance is welcoming with a rustic charm that feels homely yet professional. The staff are attentive and efficient, ensuring guests are quickly seated even during busier periods. One of the standout features is the carvery itself: a generous selection of perfectly cooked meats, including turkey, beef, pork, and gammon, all carved to order. Vegetarians aren’t overlooked, with hearty plant-based options available as well. The accompanying buffet of vegetables is impressive, featuring staples like roasted potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, and a rotating selection of seasonal sides. Yorkshire puddings are large and golden, while the gravy—offered in multiple varieties—is rich and flavorful. While the quality of the dishes is generally consistent, some items, such as the roast potatoes, can occasionally feel less fresh during peak hours. For dessert, the Toby Carvery offers a variety of indulgent options, including sticky toffee pudding and cheesecake. The portions are generous and well-presented, making them a worthwhile addition to the meal. In terms of value, the Denham branch delivers an affordable experience, especially for families or larger groups. The pricing is reasonable, with additional deals available during off-peak times. Overall, the Denham Toby Carvery provides a satisfying roast dinner in a relaxed environment. While it doesn’t stray far from the formula of the chain, its consistency and friendly service make it a dependable choice for those seeking a traditional British meal. Rating: 4/5.

I just wanted to give a big thank you to Curtis at the food buffet at Toby's Carvery in Denham. He is absolutely the best! Not only does he expertly slice the meat, but he also makes the experience so much more enjoyable with his friendly and warm personality. He went above and beyond to make sure my family and I felt well taken care of, and his genuine kindness really stood out. Because of Curtis, Toby's Carvery has become an even better place to visit. We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. Curtis truly makes a difference!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating, our waiter Dom was especially great, absolute legend.

Had a great evening. Dom was a very attentive waiter.

Excellent service by a hardworking team of friendly staff.

Good Food, Good Service. Dom was excellent!!!

slay, love dom, brings me regularily my drinks! very good service!

The food was really good, but not as good as the impeccable service from the fantastic Dom. Top lad, looked after us and we look forward to seeing him everytime we visit!

Dom and Chloe went the extra mile. 5* service!

I've been there a few times and always have a great time. Lovely and cozy ambience.

Dom. the man the myth the legend! Him and the bar lady Chloe did an amazing job looking after our massive very demanding group.

Dom is the greatest person and is a great asset to the place, Chloe is also cool

10/10 sex on the beach, slay On behalf of all of Tasmania Dom is the greatest world changing sever, I would give up my first born for Dom

Worth the visit, service from Dom was absolutely second to none, 10/10, would be served by Dom again

The Toby carvery is going down hill, for the past 3-4wks there hasn't been any lamb. The staff serving the meat all hide in the kitchen, all staff look like that they don't want to be there. Asked for our cutley only to be ignored so we helped ourselves. This is our local Toby carvery but looks like we will have to find somewhere else.

Lovely food. this visit was perfect. Meat lovely cooked and sliced thickly and in good proportion. Lots of beautiful cooked vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Staff were polite and helpful. Restaurant and toilets were clean. We had £10 birthday discount which made the meal great value. We will be back
