Toby Carvery in Plymouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Brilliant food for a reasonable price

All the staff are always very attentive and nothing is every a issue for them to do.

It's a Toby carvery! Food was reasonable and warm, carvery was very busy.

Wow! This is the most amazing carvery ever! We felt as if we needed a treat so we ordered a roast and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff are so kind, welcoming and friendly. We can't recommend it enough. Thank you for looking after us so well!

The worst carvery of my life. Rude chef, vegetable, potatoes,gravy,apple sauce etc empty, ( at 12.45, service till 2pm) food cold. Manager asked if we wanted to go and get more or have refund. My father ate it cold because he was very hungry and needed to take meds. Mum and I didn't want more,it put us off. Waited almost 15 mins to pay. It seems they want to keep packing customers in, but then can't cope with service. Overall rating 0.

Carys was very helpful and obliging

We stood waiting for 10 minutes as there were no serving staff. The meat portions were small, and the beef offered was the scrag end. But overall the food was good, and a new piece of beef was tender. A good value meal.

Cold food, poor service will not be going back

We visit here often as the roast is very nice. We always seem to be able to find a table. Staff are nice and the gravy is very good.

Great food. Friendly staff. It is advisable to book a table.

Amazing customer service from Elis today, very friendly and helpful! Thank you so much

The food was enjoyable, some of the meat a little dry but overall good and plenty of it. Lilly our waitress was a lovely lady. The Honeycomb Sundae was to die for, yum! Cocktails were delicious.

Lovely carvery, lots of choice. Yorkshire pudding was lush! Really lovely staff very friendly, Thank you Annabelle for looking after us 👏

Had a lovely meal. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was really nice and as you can help yourself to the veg and sides it was very generous. The potato bake was divine. The carver, ginger guy, was really nice and funny, made the queue worth it, it does get very busy but well worth the wait

Firstly want to start with the drinks. Had 2 small bottles of Diet Coke, when the barman said £7.10 if I had balls I’d of dropped one! That’s absurd, you are robbing people. Now the food…it was blah. Beef dripping roast potatoes didn’t taste like beef dripping roast potato’s. Yorkshire pudding looks impressive but don’t taste impressive. Gravy… tasted like brown water. On plus side meat was nice.

Attended the weekly quiz. Ross the quiz master is brilliant. Top gent, perfect balance of professional and a good fun. Highly recommend.

We arrived during a busy period and the host happily found us a table, the food was amazing, and the service was perfect! Shane and Bethany were friendly, sweet and very accommodating! Will be returning

when we walked in we did not have a booking however Maisie still managed to find us a seat despite how busy they where. beth and shane’s service was fantastic even though they where clearly rushed of there feet. i thoroughly enjoyed my meal today with my sister. will 100% be coming back and will recommend to friends and family.

We love carvery at The George but on this visit they were clearly understaffed - they were all working very hard, but queues for the carvery took over 30 minutes. When we did get to the front of the queue, we found our vegetarian melts had been kept next to the beef carving station and had debris from carving on them, making them inedible for us. The rest of our party had already collected their carvery before our vegetarian options were ready so, after queuing ourselves for a further 30 minutes, they had finished their meal. It’s not the staff’s fault at all - there were too few of them and they were looking exhausted - but it was a disappointing experience this time round and my partner left without eating.

Great value for money, good food. Nothing spectacular.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Toby Carvery in the George Roborough, and I must give a special shoutout to Ellie, who made our visit truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Ellie greeted us with a warm and friendly smile, making us feel right at home. Her attentive service throughout the meal was impeccable—she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and nothing was too much trouble for her. Ellie’s knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot-on, and she made sure our drinks were always topped up. What stood out the most was her genuine care for ensuring we had a great experience. It’s rare to find such dedicated and personable service, and Ellie’s efforts truly elevated our meal. The food was delicious, but it was Ellie’s outstanding service that made our visit unforgettable. We’ll definitely be returning and will be sure to ask for Ellie! Five stars without hesitation.

Eat here if you dare, my wife and I came here a few weeks back wasnt at all impressed with the standard of the food... Will never come back here

Want very happy with serving the meat it was so paper thin and very little also not very hot we r paying for my nephew had little bits as if it was a child meal it didnt go down to well

Very disappointed with breakfast today. No fried bread, no scrambled egg, the food was lukewarm at best and the bacon was solid, hash browns were hard and dehydrated. I have visited this place lots of times but today was shocking, I will try the lord louis next time.

Really enjoyed meal, was hot n delish👌 Where we sat was very warm but staff member on request opened window for me n perfect temperature there after. (only warm as sat opposite the carvery serving). Brad helped me with the Wowcher voucher i had previously paid for (main n dessert for 2 people). Was very simple but i had been afraid i may loose the e'mail if i tapped on anything incorrectly. Booking on Toby carvery Robourough app was sraight forward. All good Thankyou all 👌😊

The vegetables were varied and well cooked, neither too firm nor too soft. The meat was great but they could give slightly more than they do. The young servers are very pleasant and work hard. 😁

We went for an evening meal with grandchildren (youngest was 10). Booked a table for 6 in advance but maybe shouldn't have bothered. Table wasn't ready and was then shown to a table for 5. An extra chair was found and we squeezed in. All but the vegetarian went for the carvery. Good selection of meats and all were well cooked. Good selection of veg all suffering from exposure to heat-lamps, but they were edible. Roast and mashed potato was awful. The vegetarian option was cooked and placed under the lights, we had been told that they would tell us when it was brought out but it had been left under the lights for some time. Desserts were fine and the waitress was attentive and keen to rectify mistakes. Overall the meal was good value for money and I would go back. If you are a potato lover, you may want to find somewhere else!

The service from staff was brilliant very warm and welcoming, always making sure everything was to a great standard, it was a very hot day yesterday so staff kept making sure all windows were open and that there was a breeze for customers and other staff to feel comfortable. Food was absolutely divine once again .

Me and my boyfriend had a carvery. The red cabbage was completley tastless which was disappointing. There was 4 types of gravy but only two of them were marked so it was confusing to know which one was meat and which one was vegeterian. Q was hughe and quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. We had a nice drink in the garden beforehand.

Really good value for money and great service- thank you Carys!

Meat was amazing. Had gammon, beef and pork. Yorkshire pudding, gravy, carrots, mac and cheese, all incredible. Pub itself has an amazing atmosphere, bar staff super friendly. The sausages were terrible. Like breakfast sausages that were kept under a heat lamp for 3 hours, put in the fridge and then reheated for dinner. Disgusting if I'm honest. And the roast potatoes were clearly overcooked and reheated resulting in that dry burned taste where the skin is kinda like cardboard. Disappointing for a Toby. Why the roasts and sausages were allowed out im unsure. The server at the carvery tonight also looked so unbelievably depressed. I do hope they're okay. I also overheard a few things which makes me believe management may have some issues with their culture and how they treat bar staff. I do hope I'm wrong about that.

I am disabled. I'm in a large mobility scooter and I was able to get into the property and to a table easily. The friendly staff welcomed me and the girl got my drinks and even collected my dinner from the carvery for me. The meats were full ogf the bone soft but no bones. Very nice roast in there.

Staff very helpful especially Paige who went over & above & very friendly

Food was nice just could have done with being slightly hotter. The waitress Paige was lovely! Friendly, happy and very good at her job

Absolutely appalling service staff talking away drinking energy drinks ignoring customers at the bar waited ages to check in kept walking past not even looking at you or to say be with you soon. The manager needs to be on the ball but she enjoys yapping herself and laughing with staff Badly run restaurant and ignorant staff

Had a very nice time with friendly and accommodating staff

Dan was really great and amazing customer service

Paige was phenomenal today! Nothing was too much trouble. Despite being busy she took time out to chat! Appreciate her kindness after a days infusion.

Had a big group for a carvery and the food, service and prices were spot on. Staff are lovely and made us feel so welcome. I want to especially thank Lilly, Paige and Ellie for all their help - I for one will definitely be back!

Excellent service as always. Thanks to Caryn and her very polite service.

Staff are helpful and friendly. Food is alright. It's a standard carvery roast. Some weeks are better than others. Puddings are mostly good but would avoid the rice pudding, it's a weird kind of slop.

Choice of vegetables not always available and meat dried up

Drove all the way out there to be met with a tacky sign saying bookings only. We checked on the website before we left and nothing had been communicated about this. The place with empty too! A man drinking a pint outside said it was because they ran out of meat…: what … it’s a Wednesday. Maybe comms this on your website. The staff didn’t say anything to us as were busy having a laugh though we made eye contact. We felt embarrassed like we use stupid for coming due to staff.

Not been here for a while as we have been disappointed but today we really enjoyed the carvery also our waitress Paige was helpful and friendly which makes a difference

Lovely food and very friendly staff

Despite previous great visits, on Sunday ques were excessive, so some on the table had finished food by the time others had returned with their plate. We were also seated in an area where there was a blocked drain (staff stated they were aware of this) and waves of excrement could be smelt whilst trying to eat. We complained and the manager reduced the bill by a measly £3.99! I'd rather pay full price and not smell excrement. If they was aware of the issue they should have closed this part of the restaurant. Father's day meal ruined.

Went for a Sunday carvery as we have been there many times , but very disappointed on our last visit .

Breakfast is really nice really worth the money

We only went to the restaurant, which was lovely food. But if you order a child’s portion (due to surgery I have to) make sure they give you a small plate because you will get charged for an adults if you have the larger plate despite how little you have on it.

Very good place for food but on Sunday they are very busy and there are a lot of people 😁😁

I can’t even describe how rude the manager of this place was towards me. I went there to pick up a order and was the first person in the queue then I asked politely about the order to be collected and OMG, she was extremely rude and a complete nonsense, I tried to explain that the deliveroo order was ready to be collected so it wouldn’t take a second to give it to me so I could leave the place to the costumers behind me. (But she clearly thought that my job wasn’t that important and that I had time to just sit down and wait until she sorted out all the 10 people behind me) … what a absolutely disgusting behaviour. Being kind cost nothing, and it doesn’t matter if you are busy or not. You are not more important or special than others.

Great service from Maisie very polite and happy . Food was delicious

Very good place for a roast we ho regularly.

I had been a bit reluctant to go as the past few times were less than impressive. I was going to review today anyway, as this was my 4th visit in the past few months and I wasnt holding much hope to be honest. But my partner wanted to go, so we did. This time was a huge improvement. The beef wasn't chewy like it had been almost everytime, and there was a much larger selection of veg. All in all, very good.

Great value, excellent staff, would visit again.

Roast was amazing, literally the best roast I have ever had the pleasure of consuming! The service was impeccable, we had Grace as our waitress and she was very kind to us.

Always have a great time. Lovely food and always great service from brad 😁

Great hot carvery, good choice of vegetables and meat. Lovely staff as well. Tasty puddings as well, alcohol and coffee available.

I came for breakfast at 10am, and although it was early, carys was extremely friendly and welcoming, had a lovely chat with her, very enthusiastic about her job. i thoroughly enjoyed my experience breakfast was lovely as always, and the staff just as good.

The food itself looked overcooked and unappetising. It tasted pretty bland.As fir signature gravy - almost zero taste ! Meat portions were also on the mean side , 2 slices of 2 meats , both thin and on the small side. Refillable drinks were good value but a tasted watered down. Staff were the only positive.

Great cavery but if you come after 9:30 you will be queuing small detail, plenty of parking

Food was of a poor standard. Fatty meats, uncooked potatoes. Staff were lovely though and just kept on smiling.

Was my birthday so thought we go here food was disappointing and awful lamb didn’t taste like lamb and chewy parsnips completely burned veg is always same old veg boring bland never cabbage who has macaroni with roast bland had to ask chef to fill spuds up and had to queue 20 mins as busy only 1 chef serving on a sat last time was bad thought try again this time was worse not sure what is going on with the food lately but taste awful so bit disappointed for my birthday meal wish went elsewhere

Lovely place to get all you can eat carvery

Really nice place, my server kye was lovely and really patient

Excellent service from Paige. Great food good value for money

Brilliant service as always amazing management and staff. Caryn is very accommodating. Keep up the hard work.

Food and service is awful mc donalds would be a better service and better tasting will not use again

The restaurant appeared to be understaffed and wasn't accepting walk ins, we had however booked 2 weeks ago. The service was steady and the 2-3 girls serving in our area were working tirelessly. All but 2 tables were fully occupied in our area and some were large groups of 8 - 12 people. The food is what you expect from a Toby and Defense Discount after 7pm Friday discount made the night out incredibly reasonable. Credit to the staff

Visited on Easter Saturday! All 4 meats were on, had the large plate and took the opportunity to fill up the plate! Everything was beautiful!

Had a carvery with 3 others meal was very nice. Clean and tidy in the restaurant ,staff were very helpful . unfortunately, there were two toilets out of use in the ladies, so there was a queue .

Food was great, but service let them down. Drink order was taken when sat but took asking twice and nearly finishing meal for them to turn up. When asking for the bill the server didn't give us chance to say we had a voucher, then got annoyed when came back with bill as they had to redo.

Food was fantastic, service was friendly and very helpful

The food was lovely with plenty of choice , the staff were very friendly and the restaurant was very clean and roomy!☺️

Excellent service from Paige! Great food and very friendly atmosphere.

Food was not very hot. Toaster wasnt set correctly as it produced either white untoasted bread or it was burnt black. No additional plates were available for the toast, waited ages, so had to use a napkin instead as toast would have also been cold. Only one set of cutlery was given for the breakfast no additional knives available to use for the toast. Very poor experience.

Get what you pay for. Ideal for a no frills roast.

Walking into the Toby carvery I could smell the food very predominantly and the aroma was very pleasing. I was seated very quickly and the staff treated my table very well. My server (Bethany) was very polite and kind making sure that we was happy and content with everything. I would definitely recommend the Toby carvery and would for sure go back and suggest the server we had.

Fantastic food and service from all of the staff. Our waitress Bethany was smiley and helpful. We are sure to return soon.

Bethany served me for caverys today , food was great and so was the customer service

Smashing family meal at Toby Carvery at George Junction in Plymouth. Lovely welcome at the main desk and shown to our table. Served by a lovely young girl Bethany who was polite and very attentive to our needs and requests. Food was absolutely lovely. Will certainly go back.

Absolutely delightful experience at the carvery restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly roasted meats set the stage for a fantastic meal. The variety of succulent meats, perfectly cooked and carved to perfection, left us spoiled for choice. The accompaniments were equally impressive, with a diverse selection of sides and salads to complement every palate. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a cozy meal with family or friends. Friendly and attentive staff added to the overall charm of the experience. A definite must-visit for anyone craving a hearty and satisfying dining experience. Our waitress Bethany was exemplary and a credit to the establishment.

Great customer service and food is top quality, definitely worth a visit

Came in with my family, had a great meal, the food was delicious and had a great service so Thankyou to carys for giving us the Toby carvery experience.

It was a very good experience, our server Bethany was very nice and helpful, she was very welcoming and the food was excellent.

Paige made us feel welcome and was very friendly and polite.

Always great quality meals, never disappointed. Carys was especially lovely!

I haven't visited her for a few years due to moving away and we used to love it. However, a recent visit which we were looking forward to didn't go as planned. The food was way below what we had previously experienced. Two youngish servers were talking about tables staying after eating and wanting to clean up and giving odd looks. It also looked a little tired and used. What a shame.

Everything was great but I was unlucky to get Yorkshire pudding that hadn't risen and was under cooked. Beef was towards the end so was fatty

Expensive for what it is not in a rush to go back

Came here with family on a Sunday Food was mediocre at best Lamb was cooked and tasty, a bit on the chewy side. Roasted potatoes were dry, swede and cabbage were nice Staff were friendly and welcoming

Great carvery with 5 different meats, accompanying sauces and a selection of different vegetables as well as huge Yorkshire puddings! All staff were very welcoming. Our server Shane was professional and friendly. Thank you!

Had 3 large and 2 regular carveries. Meat and most veg was lovely, red cabbage and beans were quite bland. One of the meat carvers was really lovely, I found the younger one quite rude on the other hand. Will definitely go back. Didn't experience the hotel, just the Toby.

Had the roast as soon as it was ready to be served. Great quality when it first comes out.

Service from Dave was exceptional! Always checking on you to make sure everything is all good and when you’re ready to order the next thing or pay!

We were served by Paige today, she was very polite, we felt very at ease and not rushed at all. Food was amazing all fresh as we arrived as they were getting carvery ready.

Amazing service, Dave has been brilliant. Thank you

Had a lovely lunch with family. Dave who served us is very friendly and made us welcome. Will definitely be back.

Good for linch. Busy at weekends. Best to book.

TC is great for your average Sunday roast. The variety of meats is great, although sometimes they're a little dry (probably from being sat under the lights). I found the variety of vegetables was okay and the sauces offered at the end were all gone so we couldn't have any of them either which was a shame. For what it is, the Sunday carvery price is a bit much for what you get in my opinion and I didn't realise you could go back up for veggies (they don't advertise that anywhere which would have been nice to know). Their pricing seems more appropriate for a midweek carvery. In terms of gluten, their vegetarian gravy is gluten free which is great but they don't do any gluten free substitutions which I would like to see - a Yorkshire pudding for example. All that in mind, will probably dine again soon, just maybe not on a Sunday.
