Toby Carvery in Dacorum

I went for a family meal table was booked I showed my exemption for facemask as I have chronic asthma I also had a 11-year-old daughter with me they sat on the table Never told me that I will be table served my daughter walked...

Great staff who made me feel totally at ease, great mix of customers too. Food is exactly what you expect from any toby’s so all good. Great parking and gazing out of the window you can lose hours of your life before checking in upstairs.

Visited on a Sunday evening travelling back from up North we had a booked table but upon arrival saw there was a big queue we approached the manager who said our table was ready the restaurant was very under staffed but to be fair the...

Had a lovely breakfast this morning at the Toby Carvery in Hemel Hempstead. Front of house lady helpful but not particularly happy. Staff cooking food were really nice and keen to volunteer to us that certain items were in the middle of being cooked although...

This is within a hotel building (entrance from the outside). Being a new modern building, it is different to majority of the other Toby restaurants. Whilst it is in a modern building, it retains the same characters as the other Toby restaurants. There are some...

Great staff , nice food, good prices, Great atmosphere ,good location , Hotel above, easy parking, amazing gravy, delicious roasted spuds,

Fantastic carvary. Great selection of meats and vegetables. Very generous portions of meat too and it was so moist and tender. The food was piping hot and all the staff were really friendly, especially the lovely lady who took our order. Loved the bottomless soft...

Been to Toby calvery many times. Barnet, and especially Borehamwood, so below average, dry overcooked meat etc and a few miniscule wafers of meat... First time at Hemel Hempstead (Tues 4th Feb 2020) 12pm-1.20pm. First impression not best because teenage bar boy said he had...

Shown to a table that was right in the midst of the queues for food...soon moved myself to another table. Cant understand why the Sunday price is dearer for the same food! Just depends on who's serving as to how much meat you get...some are...

Took over an hour to finally give us our starters and the mail course wasn’t as good as other carverys. Waiter was helpful tho. Go somewhere else Starters where very poor. Drinks where not all working

Went to the carvery at the last minute the seating area was very cold as the heating was broken the blowers they had not working, dirty plates which my husband had to ask for a new plate, they only had one waitress the toilets were...

Popped in last Tuesday for a meal. We were served by Mandy, who was friendly, professional and informative about menu choices on the Vegetarian/Vegan Menu. The rest of the family enjoyed the Carvery selection with its range of different meats, vegetables and gravies. We all...

Went in for dinner with family last Tuesday. Our sever, Mandy, was really helpful and friendly, she had good knowledge of the menu and helped my sister find a vegetarian option she thoroughly enjoyed. Myself and my daughter had the carvery, the meat was constantly...

First time going out somewhere for Christmas dinner as a treat and so we don’t have to worry about cooking or washing up. We were seated quickly and taken to a good size table that seats 4 although there were only 2 of us. I...

I booked to have ‘Breakfast with Santa’ with 9 members of my family, including 5 very excited young children at 10am on Christmas Eve. This was a heavily advertised event at Toby Carvery and I booked it at the end of September to ensure we...

Booked business meeting lunch on 23rd December. Could not believe the staff not trained, did not greet customers, chef and all staff sitting on a table next to food bar doing nothing. One of them made a comment about the customers coming in. Should have...

Appalling service and food just dreadful we only paid for the alcoholic drinks the manger agreed totally unacceptable

Made booking for 2 at 12.45pm. Waited 15 minutes for a lovely manager to appear and seat us. Sat for at least 20 minutes to order a drink. Understaffed and my husband had to go to the bar and order. Bearing in mind they had...

This Sunday morning (0812/2019) I had a table booked for 11 people, but I planned on 2 extras joining us as 2 more family members decided to join us making a large party of 13 in total. The table had been booked a week, after...

We'd booked in to the Travelodge next door and decided to eat in the carvery. Wrong! We waited 45 minutes for the garlic mushroom starter which, once it arrived, was adequate. After another 30 minutes the main course arrived. Sea bass en papillote. Should have...

After a somewhat tiring shopping spree in Hemel Town centre, we retired to this carvery for a break and some food. Luckily in the week it wasn't too crowded so there was no problem with seating. We both had the roast Turkey and it was...

Food and drinks good value. Whole place needs a good clean. All feels a bit grubby. Dirty seats, walls and floors

Surprisingly good. 6 of us decided to chance our luck by turning up as the online table booking site said no tables were available. We were told we could only have our table for 45 minutes however we ended up having it for two hours....

Visited Sunday 24 Nov at 6pm. This was the second worst carvery I have had, the first was here about 1 year ago, I heard there was new management so went to see if it had improved. I found No Yorkshires left, no Pork or...

Great banter with the waitress. She was new and felt the need to explain this a number of times but she did great. My colleagues and I asked her a lot of questions but she gave as good as she got. Didn’t catch her name....

Visited at 735pm 15.11.19 Place about 1/4 full with about 20 people. My husband ordered the Yorkshire pudding with Nachos, I ordered the garlic bread as not too hungry. 10mins later, server said there was no nachos. A Yorkshire pudding wrap was ordered in its...

Visited on Sunday 10 November with my daughter, having booked a table for 2.30pm. Arriving on time we were quickly shown to a table, though it was right at the front by the doors - cold, draughty and packed full of people milling about waiting...

Breakfasts great. Sunday roasts to eat in or takeaway lovely. Staff friendly. Restaurant is quirky. Loads of parking toilets clean

When we are in need of a feel good, filling meal the carvery is our only choice. The staff are friendly and the food is great, always a good meal!

The staff here are great. I stay at the travelodge next door most weeks for work and am usually at the Toby once a week for dinner. I find all the staff really helpful. Popped in late last night and given the time was late...

Absolutely disgusting. Dirty toilets food squashed on the floor. Smelt dirty. Poor standards for a Toby Carvery.

Went for breakfast to be told there was no scrambled eggs. Fair enough. Went to fill our plates. There was nothing but a few baked beans. Yes that’s right. Baked beans. Totally disgusted. Staff couldn’t care less. People were taking photos of the empty bowls....

This is our local Toby's so pop in for breakfast most weekends! The standard has been dropping week on week but this was the worst yet! Long queue waiting for food! Why? Because there was NOTHING on offer!! We waited 10 minutes when, finally, a...

Breakfast was fantastic even near the end of the allotted time. Other reviews on here a absolute joke from today. yes there was no scrambled egg but there was plenty of other food. People need to be more grateful in life

Went for breakfast here today and from pulling up in car park I should of known not to eat here the car park bins are overflowing and litter everywhere! on entering Toby’s the ashtrays outside were piled high and not been cleaned for donkeys we...

Where to begin? Arrived at 1215hrs. Told to sit wherever I liked. A waitress came and supplied me with a drink. No cutlery, hunted around and found a box of knives and forks. Did not start serving until 1230p.m., when I enquired was told 'we...

Attended tonight for quick dinner however that was ruined by chefs constantly ringing the bell when they could see waiting staff were busy. More over they shouted loudly in the kitchen so much so that the whole restaurant could hear- unacceptable. On a happier note...

The Toby Carvery, Maylands Avenue, needs a complete check over by senior management. The restaurant looks dirty, food on the tables and floors. Toilets disgusting don't look as if they are cleaned regularly. And lastly the staff need a rocket behind them, totally lethargic. You...

My husband and I recently visited the carvery where we found most of the tables to be littered with used plates and glasses. After calling a waitress to clean the table, we went to get some food where we found that there was only 1...

What a joke. Walked in and asked for a table. Told a 40 minute wait, which was fine so instead we booked a table on our phone and was seen within 15 minutes. No dramas until we started queing for the food...A ridiculously long queue....

Easy parking, but get there early as it fills up fast. Need 5y popular place. Just off the M1.J8. You cant get lost. Food is brill and as a carvery you can get more!!!!

Pretty poor night to be honest. To start with, one of the members of staff mentioned to the chef that the customers were waiting to be served, his response to that was “oh well”. I don’t want to go and eat somewhere where the chefs...

Only turkey left and the veg was clearly tired and ready for bed too. Service was polite but not ideal past 20.30 hrs. Sorry

I just want to say a big thank you to the manager / lead host. We could see the restaurant was really busy with limited space but she did all she could to fit us in with success! That is top notch service and the...

What a shambles. First time this week told there was no meat left at around 6:45pm, this evening, told beef and pork left, yet when I went to go and get my food, 1 last tired piece of beef left. My daughter had chciken nuggets,...

Been here a few times in the past and never had a good experience, thought we would try it one more time this evening at 7.45 and was told we have stopped serving for the night although the website clearly says 9pm. Won’t be going...

We (my partner, my adult son and my 10 year old grandson) were staying near by for the night and so decided to get something to eat around 7.00pm. After trying a few places and finding them full we decided to go to the Toby...

We recently went for a Sunday lunch & I was happily surprised as it was an excellent meal. Would definitely return.

Just about a 3! Booked our table, but ended up sitting down waiting for more meat to be cooked, then a ridiculous queue, and then there still wasn't any beef or lamb. The roasties were over cooked. There was one ladle if peas left. The...

Went for lunch with my mum. Was a lovely meal, got told there was no turkey before we sat down. I had gammon and beef with the trimmings. The food was lovely and the staff were all lovely.

My husband and I saw a sign for Toby and just couldn’t say no! We had a lovely meal, all food piping hot and loads of everything available. The staff were all lovely, friendly and approachable.

After several attempts what a great meal and service From the time we came in to the services department the hot food. It was a delicious delight Very busy but served well by the few staff on duty Always need for improvement as the floors...

On a business trip with my manager and we fancied some food. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with the backs/sides of 3 girl's heads. Couple of them on their phones. As lovely as their hair was it would have been nicer...

Decided to call here after visiting Windsor. My kids love Toby so we have visited many around the county - this has to be the worst and my kids were very disappointed. This was 4pm on a Saturday afternoon so not exactly late on. There...

We booked a table for 6:30 knowing it would be busy on Fathers’ Day. We arrived and were shown to our table and, overhearing the restaurant manager telling another party there was a 90 minute wait for a table, we were glad we had. We...

Very nicely situated at the bottom of the Gateway Travelodge, making it very convenient for lunch or dinner. My husband, son and I had a very nice carvery here, when we arrived at the Travelodge on Saturday tea time. The staff were friendly and helpful...

Visit the Toby on early on Saturday night and the offer was so poor we had to walk out! Clearly understaffed the young chef behind the counter was trying to do everything himself but without success. The queue for service was getting longer however service...

Good place to eat and good size portions (if you like carvery). The staff although a little slow were friendly and helpful, the floors could be a little cleaner and the place felt somewhat grubby

We visited here whist staying in the Travelodge above. All the meats were dry and overcooked and the guy finely slicing them must have been a veggie I asked for pork as this looked the most edible and I had 3 pieces of wafer-thin pork...

We have visited several Toby Carvery's and haven't had any real problems. OK we visited on a Bank Holiday Monday at 8pm and as soon as we walked in we were told they had no beef or lamb. Just gammon and pork then. They also...

Toby carvery have always been the one for a roast however the one in Hemel Hempstead is by far the worst I have been to. I stopped going there over a year ago when the food quality was poor. Today I thought I would give...

Ordered from just eat Saturday night. We ordered 2x chicken wings and 2x roast. When the food came we got told they didnt have any chicken wings and roast pork left which were wasnt to bothered because they give us different stuff instead but would...

No Yorkshire Puds !! Not much meat, and veg very dated, visited at 2.30pm today, very disappointing.

Booked to eat here at 8pm Sunday. Walked in to a chef sat out the front in his whites having a phone conversation, a girl behind the bar shoving tissues up her nose because she had a nosebleed (seriously, deal with it out of the...

All you can eat buffet breakfast for under a fiver. Strange setup, you pay on entry before seating, and there is no table service at all. Drinks are very expensive as you would expect, tea £2.20 each. Seating area adequate although a bit small so...

I ordered a takeaway for my wife and 2 grandchildren.Two items ,pork and Yorkshire puddings were missing when I opened the package at home.To make matters worse,the ordered food was put in a tatty old TESCO plastic bag. The beef and turkey were hard to...

came here for dinner with my family last night(13.4.19)and left feeling very disappointed. the food was terrible, the meat was dry and very fatty, the veg cold and tasteless and the roast potatoes were just a lump of mush. we sat waiting for ages for...

Me and my friend had never been to a Toby before so thought we would give it a try. We didn’t book and were told to wait 30-45 mins fair enough our fault for not booking. Once seated we queued for food which seemed to...

We both opted for carvery and were served by a pleasant, cheerful chef who carved generous portions. The vegetables were an interesting selection and plenty of sauces were available. It was a good, filling meal at a reasonable price. Unfortunately the long wait for a...

Never been to a Toby Cavery and probably would not go again. I must admit it's great if you want a very cheap meal with as big a plate of food as you could manage. IT JUST WAS NOT FOR ME.

I visited with my family and it was a lovely atmosphere and great tasting food. Our waitress was very polite and gave us great service throughout our entire time there. Thank you Alex for looking after my family. Would definitely come back again.

I usually make a monthly stop at the Hemel Toby Carvery and I am never disappointed. The food is always generously large, hot and tasty. I usually go for a king size roast dinner with turkey and two yorkshire puds. Delicious. This isn't the first...

We had an awful experience, since then Toby Carvery sent us a gift card as an apology. We booked a table online and upon arrival headed to the bar to ask where we were seated to be told we could sit anywhere - this was...

I just love this place!!! I’m a regular here and it’s my favourite place to go for a meal/ drinks out with friends and family. The staff are all amazing and always very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The food is always excellent and a wide...

We visit every week and are always welcomed warmly! The staff are fantastic and always remember what we like to drink! Laura and Sian are so friendly and it’s obvious they both enjoy their jobs! Food is delicious and always lovely and hot! Keep up...

Had a wonderful meal,meat was succulent,great choice of vegetables, our waitress Alex was so friendly and was telling us local places to visit whilst in the area, will definitely visit again

After a disappointing breakfast at our hotel we opted to try this place, which looked well advertised and value for money. There is a fair selection for breakfast (including Yorkshire puddings), but surprisingly no cereals. The buffet ran out of bacon, fried eggs, potatoes and...

Another fantastic Sunday lunch, all food lovely, tasty and always hot. Waiting/bar Staff are nice and friendly, chefs are as well especially Kurt. Definitely would recommend, we have never had a bad meal. Well done to you all👍

Stopped off for lunch on the way home from buying a car. Half hour wait, fair enough. We were then pointed out a table, then left!!! No 'have you been before' no 'I' ll be back ', nothing. So we went up and hot a...

Sadly not a great visit. Service at the carvery was very hit and miss; overcooked cold vegetables and a long wait for gravy and sauces. We had to play hunt the waitress and waited 25 mins for desert which was wrong when it arrived. Not...

Not sure where the poor reviews Come from because every time we eat here as a family its always great. This is a busy restaurant as its near a Travelodge, but the staff run a good ship here. Its always a good sign to see...

I regularly come to this Toby for breakfast. I can never fault them on there service and food quality. Always happy staff and chefs are happy to provide to your needs! Only thing I’d say is for them to get on about getting different things...

I thought I’d give this place a try after a long day at work, I’ve had Toby before and it’s usually ok. The chef cut me two slithers of dry meat and I moved on to the veggies. Well what a disappointment, nothing has a...

This Toby is always pretty good, sometimes the beef is a bit fatty, but the gammon and pork are always top notch. The new beef dripping roasties are lovely, the only issue I would have is the veg is sometimes a bit dry where it’s...

Went there with my fam, could not fault it! clean, new looking staff well-trained food was great. Good looking chefs a bonus!

My wife and I visited the Toby Carvery on Tuesday and the food selection seems to have improved and the meats an the Yorkies are to die for. We will certainly be returning very soon.

In an age where you now get less and less for your money Toby now make the carvery chef weigh in front of you the meat portion. Can they not be trusted to give you a fair amount. The appeal of their carvery has now...

We came all the way from east sussex to meet friends so after 3 hours on the road it was a pleasant suprise to be greeted with such good service after we had booked for 12 but didn't arrive until 1 due to traffic. Both...

A bit crowded. We went for a 3 generation carvery as the boys love carveries. Delivery of food was a bit slow. Perhaps the staff are overworked.

We had come for a festive meal for our day time Xmas do. I cannot fault anything from service food and presentation. A large group of us and we were served brilliantly! Would recommend to anyone we will be back for our Xmas meal next...

After staying in the Travelodge next door, we decided to come here for breakfast. There was an abhorrent stench of sewers on the outside of main door, the pavement was awash with cigarette butts, debris and filth. On entering we were advised we had to...

Was looking forward to celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Preordered balloons and cake which were not there when we arrived. The place was noisy and service was slow. As a party of 5 only 3 managed to get served at the carvery as there were not...

So earlier in the week we frequented a different Toby, but decided, as this one is close to the cinema, that we would prebook and have Sunday lunch here. When we arrived the place was heaving, so much so that we could not get through...

Booked a table for 2.30 on a sunday. Arrived about 2.15 and bought a cider and medium wine (about 8.75). Waited till 2.50 before leaving without eating. Waiting space for only about 16 people right by the door so cold and dirty from where people...

stayed at the travellodge next door and went for Breakfast,was told by staff that lots of things no on the menu because they where waiting a delivery,no eggs beans porridge ect still charged the same price for less items (who eats yorkshire puds for breakfast)...

Gave this Toby a try after a disgusting experience at the aldenham toby. My nephew suffers from allergies and at 2 years old he really can’t each much more than chicken nuggets from McDonald’s. His diet is a nightmare. After being ejected from aldenham due...

Arrived for breakfast to find out they quickly ran out of bacon and eggs! Also a long line of customers waiting at least 15 minutes for fresh food to come out. Awful, won’t be returning.

We walked in was shown to a table then left. One of the young waitresses just ignored us and we had to go and ask for service. They were the highlights, beyond that the place was a mess, dirty plates next to clean cutlery, food...

First time visiting here today. As I walked in, it all seemed very chaotic. The staff were running around, not knowing what's going on. I booked a table, but was told there would still be a wait, but couldn't tell me how long exactly. You're...

Booked a table was told there was an hour wait on top didn’t have any turkey and only soft drinks no beer available also run buy kids..
