Toby Carvery in South Bucks

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

Lovely Toby, good food and very warm and friendly staff

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Excellent service by a hardworking team of friendly staff.

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

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

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

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.

Went to Toby Carvery at Denham tonight & was the worst meal I have had there. We go there quite regularly & normally can’t fault the food, but was booked in for 5.30 this evening & the food was terrible. The Yorkshire puddings were totally flat & under cooked in the middle & burnt on the bottom, I asked for some fresh ones, but was told that they had to get rid of those first. The Mac & cheese was under cooked, as was the turnips. I asked if there was any pork crackling & was told that they had run out (at 5.30pm, really). Also had no Diet Pepsi. Was told by one of the chefs, that they had got busy. Hope this is going to be a regular thing.

This toby has sireously hone down hill in the last couple of months, look like they lost some good staff too.

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

Went for the first couple of times and it was lovely. The last time the food wasn't so good. Lumpy mash, dry beef and underdone roasts.

If you are lucky enough to have Katrina as your waitress you won’t be disappointed! We had a 4:30 booking and it’s always best to book as it was busy and if you didn’t book you will be waiting a while! In fact all the staff and chefs were friendly and polite and having Katrina was a bonus! She made sure we were all taken care of from drinks to desserts! Our first time at this Toby Carvery and it certainly won’t be our last! We will be back!! Also Lola thanks chef and Katrina for her lamb bone left over!!

Manager was quick to seat us without a reservation- would definitely recommend

I love a pub that has not lost the English way! Food was great! No waiting. Chloe was super friendly and helpful. Loved it. Highly Recommend. +++

What a wonderful experience! Cheri arranged the perfect booking for my friend’s hen do, and we had an absolute blast. Everything was spot on—from the delicious food to the exceptional staff, and the venue was top-notch. Huge thanks to Cheri, and please extend our gratitude to all your wonderful team members!

Sorry, just about warm,,the food was very good but it dried up wasn't hot the ends of my meat was very tough had to leave it at least I didn't have to pay the whole bill, they saw that my food wasn't up to their usual standard, my brother wasn't so lucky he had to pay as he made an effort to eat his,,but he wasn't really happy with his food we paid and left,pity

You can't beat a good old roast and a cold pint at Toby's. Really like the Denham location. The only thing I would have liked is the beef dripping with dumplings like they have at the Watford location.

Delightful time at Toby Carvery for our early Christmas outing! Wonderful staff and service especially Narinder who was super kind and friendly to us! Thank you :)

This was by far the busiest Toby Carvery I’ve visited, yet the experience was fantastic. Despite the crowd, the service was attentive and efficient, with staff ensuring the food was frequently topped up, so everything tasted fresh and warm. The seating atmosphere was comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely recommend it for both the quality of food and the attentive service.

Gone down hill .... got a fine in their own car park £100 .... Bad service

Food wasn't good as I used to have it the potatoes were rock solid and not enough of stuffing 1

We recently had the pleasure of visiting this Toby for a mid week roast dinner. We were a party of five, myself my wife and our daughter and her two daughters. We were met by Chloe who looked after us extremely well, Chloe is an asset to the business/brand she is very professional, polite and informative. Any questions we had were met with a huge smile and enthusiastically answered. Chloe ensured we had an excellent dining experience the food was delicious delivered hot and tasty. The management/owners would do well to consider Chloe for a supervisory/ management role. Our family members were very happy with the experience and we’ll most definitely be back to dine at Toby Denham.

We love Toby Carvery and Nicky is a lovely waitress she goes above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need 5+

Excellent quality carvery that you expect from Toby

Fantastic service. Our 1year old had a meltdown mid-meal and the waitress/staff member gave us a toy to help settle him. Thank you!! First roast weve had in ages!!

Usual high quality carvery that you expect. Dined in the bar, barman was excellent, but they were very slim to clear the table

Portions of meat are fair, but it's not the best carvery. Puddings took forever to come out too

The food was ok. Drinks Pepsi max still not available after quite some time. The stuff does not tell you when you pay. But when you use self service a old note says Pepsi max is not available And now you get a haff size glass.

Great food and great service from Nicki tonight.

Always enjoy a carvery at the Ugly Duckling, Toby carvery but when the staff are happy and enjoying their job it’s always an added bonus to the experience. Our waitress this evening Nicki was brilliant she was happy and friendly and went a long with my partners terrible jokes which made his evening. She always had a smile on her face and apologised for her delay but we didn’t mind cause she was always so polite and chatty when she was serving us.

Lovely carvery , thanks Nikki for looking after us.

A Delightful Dining Experience at Toby Carvery We recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Tobey Carvery. The meal was delicious, with a particularly impressive carvery prepared by Chef Shaez. Their friendly and attentive service added to the positive dining experience. Cherri's exceptional hospitality truly made our visit memorable. Her warm and welcoming demeanor created a delightful atmosphere. We highly recommend Tobey Carvery's Denham branch for a fantastic meal and top-notch service.

Food was great and very hot. Greeted at the carvery by Denis who was carving. What a breath of fresh air he was outgoing, polite and very friendly to everyone, he brought a smile to my face, fantastic customer service. Lisa saw us to our table and as usual was friendly and polite. Definitely will come back, especially for the smiles from Denis. Well done Toby.

We arrived early. The restaurant was chocker with guests. The bar area was clean and the seating area . We got shown to our table in the main restaurant, we saw food items had been dropped on the floor and not picked up. Hmm. The food was excellent and hot , the choice of meats great. The vegetables were slightly under cooked in my opinion. The staff helpful and friendly.

Absolutely classic, can’t really go wrong with a toby carvery but the experience today was extra special because we were served by Charlie C! He was extra attentive and kind, having to work even harder because he didn’t have his iPad, excellent customer service which seemed effortless on a crazy Sunday! Thank you charlie!

We had a wonderful experience, great service, super friendly staff. The food was beautiful, fantastic carvery, truly is the home of the roast. Well done, everyone at Denham Toby Carvery.

Prices have risen , potatoes not always tip top , meat can be chewy on occasions

Food and service very good. Only draw back was there was no ice cream, as machine was being cleaned. Why couldn't they clean it before service.

I’ve been here a few times. It’s simple food but it’s done really well at a price that just can’t be beaten these days. There’s loads of free parking (enter your car registration when you go inside). You’re on a bit of a conveyor belt, go sit, go get your food, go! But I go back to the point that’s it’s good food at a price that can’t be beaten. I’m sure I’ll be there again before too long.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Toby Carvery in Denham, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a lovely young lady named Cherri, who truly exemplified the phrase "service with a smile." Her attentiveness and cheerful demeanor set the tone for our meal, making it even more special for my wife and our two kids, as it was our first visit to a Toby Carvery. Cherri went above and beyond to ensure that we felt looked after throughout our meal. Her kindness and helpfulness exceeded all of my expectations. When my little girl accidentally dropped her drink, causing quite a commotion with the glass shattering and drink spilling everywhere, I immediately felt the need to apologize to the staff. However, Cherri handled the situation with grace and humor, making a joke with my daughter to lighten the mood. She replaced the drink without hesitation, displaying not only her exceptional customer service skills but also her genuine compassion. As a parent of a child with autism, I often find that social situations can be challenging. However, Cherri's warm approach instantly made my daughter feel comfortable, turning what could have been a distressing moment into a delightful one filled with giggles. It was a heartwarming experience that I truly appreciated. The food itself was delicious and added to the overall positive atmosphere. The combination of fantastic service from Cherri and the quality of the food has left a lasting impression on us. We genuinely look forward to returning every Sunday, thanks to the warm hospitality and welcoming environment fostered by Cherri and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend the Denham branch of Toby Carvery to anyone looking for a delightful family outing. A big thank you to Cherri and the entire team for making our visit memorable. You have certainly earned top ratings from us! xx

Excellent service from chole. Food hot, plenty of choice. Atmosphere was good to .

Brilliant service front of house couldn't do more for us made sure we was seated quickly and that's our orders came along together, the kitchen staff done very well with the constant refreshing g of the carvery as well would highly recommend

The person serving the meat was unfriendly & rude. We found out when we were leaving that he is the boss, apparently. Most of the rest of the staff were friendly & helpful, although the service was slow for puddings. And when it did arrive, one of the bowls had a very big chip on the inside - the size of a thumbnail and very noticeable. We mentioned it but nothing was done or said. The food was ok. My dining partner was served a piece of meat that was pure grizzle and inedible. Because of his attitude when he originally served us, we never went back to the meat carver. It was after 6pm and the food was nowhere near as enjoyable as it is at lunchtime sittings. The car park was extremely dark, uneven surfaces and full of very deep puddles. We will not visit in the evening again and hope, if/when we do we get a different meat carver next time. Hopefully a polite one! The staff waiting tables were very busy but changed the cutlery when it was noticed we had been given a fork that had not been washed properly. It was such a shame that it was not a pleasant experience.

Popped in thinking it was still a Harvester, as we drove up we see it was now a Toby Carvery. As we entered another family had been waiting to be seated, after another 5 minutes they decided they had waited long enough, and walked out with a passing comment of good luck, only 3 staff members could be seen, nobody behind the bar, nobody front of house, another 5 minutes and we were shown to a table. The restaurant was very quiet, with many empty tables. Approach the carvery, no beef that's an hour wait, no lamb not doing anymore, stood for 5 minutes at the empty carvery to have a choice of dry pork, gammon or turkey, not a lot of vegetables left either, gravy thick and cold, although the lady serving us at the table was friendly and pleasant, overall it was awful. Service slow and no attention paid to customers, food variety lacking and what was on offer was not very pleasant. Our drinks came as we had nearly finished the food. We will not be coming back, I could understand if the premises was busy and all the tables were full which would account for food running etc, but it was dead, the atmosphere was dead, the food substandard and the service non-existent. Personally find somewhere else.

Booked 4 times, and they kept cancelling. No rhyme or reason. Tried to call throughout the day. There is no answer on the phones. Bad customer service.

Very welcoming and helpful staff good choice of food and the restaurant was full,but didn't affect the service. On top a discount for using the app, happy days!! Well done to all involved.

Amazing staff very friendly. Tasty food.

Great value for money. Staff were great and worth a visit if you are hungry.

My friend & I had a large carvery each & I had a London Pride my friend a soft drink & it was £30. It was quite busy for a Wednesday evening & the food good!

The staff are helpful as the wife is disabled

This used to be my go to carvery for the past 5/10 years. The service from the waitresses is always a warming reception. This is my first time coming for about a year and the first thing that caught my eye was that all 3 men behind the carvery were Asian (pakistani or Indian) men. I didn’t think much of it I just thought Toby were capitalising on migrant labour. I could hear the man before me in-line complaining about the slices of meat he was given, even saying ‘you are taking the piss’. He got a normal size plate and I was feeling like I could eat more meat than what he was given so I upgraded to a large; the carver gave me also the same amount of meat as a normal plate and I even questioned if the slices were meant to be thicker or doubled up for the large. He said that’s the size of the meat and seeing as the man before me had a bit of a word with him I thought I’d brush past any more altercations and write this review. By the time I sat down I felt some of the items on my plate were getting cold quickly and parts of it had hardened from being under heat for so long. Maybe Toby is telling the new carvers not to give as much meat and no one will say anything because ___ or maybe the Asian workers are not familiar with the customs in Toby. Overall I’ve not been displeased but hoping there will be a change the next time I come.

Delicious food. At the front at the restaurant staff to busy.

Just had a lovely carvery here. The food was really good, and the service was amazing, thank you Chloe.

I contacted the restaurant via email before posting this, as I enjoyed going there, but after nearly a week without a response, I have to share my experience. I ordered a carvery through Too Good To Go, and while the meal was great, I was shocked to find what looked like a cooked cockroach in it. This is really disappointing as I used to love coming here.

Lovely roast! Charlie was excellent.

I have been using the deham brach of the toby for numerous years and visit there about twice a week. I always try and go there on a Monday or Friday when Diane is there who is a server. She has a brillant personality knowledgeable and always very helpful and goes out of her way for her customers. Nothing is too much for her I always ask to be seated with her as she is so pleasant ☺️ I understand that she has been working there for over 30 years. All credit to her. She is a real asset to them a little gem 💎 ✨️

I just want to say that Diane who is a server at the the toby Denham is so helpful. She explained and help with the stamp system rewards. Her sunny outlook make it very pleasant to go there. A really helpful person. She goes the extra mile to make you feel very welcome. Thank you Diane. You're the best. I hope the toby appreciate you're efforts. What a credit to them

Lovely roast and hot on arrival

My family and I visited last Thursday night (Thursday 26th September) and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant and this is thanks to a rude and arrogant chef that I had the displeasure of being served by. After witnessing another customer being bullied into accepting what was served on her plate which was not what she requested in the first place, I then witnessed my own mum being served the most pathetic slice of beef I have ever seen and being told by the chef that there was nothing wrong with it and to accept it for what it is despite the rightful protests of herself, my dad and I. However, things were going to only get worse with this chef. After asking for the king-size option, the chef proceeded to only give me the thinnest slices of gammon, pork and turkey on what should be a King-sized plate! When I dared to ask for at least another slice of the turkey, the chef just laughed at me and suggested that I was not within my right to make such a request which I found to be extremely rude and obnoxious of him to do. The fact that he could not provide me with sausages and then just served me a pathetic amount of meat, meant that it was a complete waste of time for me ordering the King-sized option. When he proceeded to the provide my dad with the thinnest shavings off the meat joints he requested, it led to an unnecessary standoff where the chef refused to serve my dad more acceptable portions and because of his refusal to back down, he proceeded to continue arguing with my dad, allow his food to turn cold and create a long queue of people waiting to be served. His cock and bull story was that he was serving meat based on weight which is a load of rubbish as there were no scales being used to weigh the slices he was cutting and was just guessing the weight of each slice he was cutting based on what he could see by eye. I get served more meat during lunchtime at my workplace when provided with a roast dinner without needing to ask for more portions and it would appear that based on the thinnest slices this chef is prepared to serve customers, rationing appears to be in place at this Toby Carvery restaurant (probably to ensure that he can take as much home for himself as possible at the end of the night!). To make a situation even more uncomfortable for my family and I, the so-called manageress did not resolve the situation at all and just said that the chef's decision is final and what he says goes and then just stormed off. Because of how unpleasant this experience was for my family and I thanks to the rudeness of the chef and unhelpfulness of the Manageress, we will never be visiting this restaurant again and have now been advising all of my friends and other family members to avoid this restaurant like the plague. Instead of the chef trying to lecture me on manners, he should look in the mirror at himself. Arguably the rudest chef I have ever encountered and that is from someone who has worked in the kitchen before of a restaurant with a number of chefs in the past. Well done on losing customers for life.

Not well... single mum and I got delivered this crap fat for meat 3 potatoes no Yorkshire absolutely fuming can't up load on uber eats . I come in use here and langley but great ...but this is a joke for 15 pound I'm waiting in a call ... never again

Narinder at the Toby Carvery was absolutely fantastic! His service was exceptional, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs. We've been coming to this restaurant for years, but Narinder's service was truly top-notch. Highly recommend!

I visited tobys yesterday evening for lunch I got 2 paper thin slices of roast beef full of fat you could not cut this beef thiner if you tried Monster Yorkshire pudding as much cold veg as we wanted. I think they need to understand that veg is served with meat in this case it seemed meat served with veg . Very dissapointed won't be back unfortunately .

Food was great, but the poor staff in this place look tired and overworked. Another M&B site that seems to lack decent management. Drinks took forever to come out. Waitress didn't know what a glass of Pinot was. Had to explain what Oat Milk for the Americano was. Had to pay at the bar as she was too busy to bring the bill. They were trying their best and the food was hot & tasty, but the staffing seriously needs looking at. A lack of training for sure, but a lack of visible management seems to be the overall issue.

Great staff especially the cleaner

We arrived and got seated waited ages for someone to come over to take our drinks and then we was waiting ages for the glasses that we had to go up to the bar and ask for them the food was good but the servers were going round to other tables asking how their food was but didn’t come over to us once and it wasn’t that busy then we had to find a waiter to ask for the bill as we was waiting for ages for it. We like the Toby and the food was good but service was not the best

Our waitress was lovely, but everything else was poor! When I went up to get my carvery, there were 2 guys behind cutting the meat. They just looked as if they didn't want to be there and just weren't friendly at all. Also, I think there might have been a bit of a language barrier as I clearly said I would like one Yorkshire pudding, and he put two on my plate, I had to tell him to take it off. The meat was the worst thing though. I asked for beef, which I was given basically all fat and not a single nice cut, and I asked for turkey. There was hardly any meat left on the turkey, and the guy cut right close to the bone that when I went to eat it, I found a few hard grisly bits, which put me right off eating anymore. Also, there were a few vegetable dishes that had run out and had not been replaced quickly enough while I was up there, so I missed out on a few things. When my other family members went up after me, the turkey and other dishes had been replaced with fresh full ones, which was good for them but not great for me and the other people who were up there at the same time as me who would've missed out. We all pay the same for the carvery at the end of the so we should all be entitled to the same availability and quality. I personally wouldn't go back or recommend it.

Actually went here for a take away as second choice after having a really bad take away from another pub, that we had to return and get a refund on. Will definitely be using this restaurant as our go to for Sunday dinner in future, great food, huge selection and everything was fresh. The staff were so friendly and helpful too

Visited for a Sunday dinner for the first time at the restaurant. Could not complain with the food was fantastic and service great also . Did not wait any time to be seen by staff very friendly and welcoming. Thanks for a great meal guys
