Toby Carvery in Dacorum

Absolutely awful service, inexperienced and unprofessional staff, wasn't even busy! The food was terrible, Mac and cheese was tiny and dry, chicken nugget burger was laughable and the carvery was so hard and dry, you could build a brick wall with the stuffing and the Yorkshire puddings...avoid avoid avoid and it's not value for money AT ALL...go to subway next door instead! Will NOT be going back, it was a joke

Great food and atmosphere. Went for a Christmas lunch with family and the staff really looked after us, especially Sarah, who was just amazing. Thank you very much!

We went to Toby Carvery with 50 of our Explorer scouts for a Christmas meal. All the staff were very accommodating and friendly especially Sarah our waitress.

My first time in a toby carvery. I was really impressed with the roast dinner. Really friendly staff behind the counter and especially our very friendly and patient waitress SARAH .

Really poor service , the staff were gossiping and staring over at the table wich wasn’t pleasant , when my desert arrived there was a clump of hair and dust on the wafer however it was replaced

The service was great with our waitress being Sarah, who was very friendly and helpful. The carver Jake was also very friendly and welcoming. Food was also spot on - great visit.

Place is a nightmare, booked for the family and when they had all finished gossiping at the bar, were greeted and told all they have left is some roast pork as they have been busy (place was half empty). Every single time we book to go there, when we arrive there is always a problem! If you are running out of food why allow people to book and waste their time. Place is a joke and after multiple times have given up and would urge everyone else to do the same

Came for lunch today (19th Nov) after about a year and a half as we didn't have a great experience last time. Today though was lovely. 12.30 on a Sunday lunchtime and there were plenty of tables, food was all fresh and cooked well, service was fab (our server was Sarah). Very happy, polite, was there if we needed her. Great experience and we will be back!

I am vegan and this is not a lifestyle choice. There was only one vegan meal available Spinach & Mushroom Pithivier. The Pithivier was 90% pastry, 8% spinach and I was unable to find the mythical 2% mushrooms. The peas were dry and tasteless, the roast potatoes were rock hard, the red cabbage was also dry. The veggie gravy was more akin to a solid rather than a liquid and it was cold. I decided on the seasonal crumble for dessert and this was hot and tasty but it was full of sugar and far too sweet for my palate. I did enjoy a 0% alcohol beer. The total bill was £18.03 - far too expensive for what was offered. The staff were friendly and attentive but the food was awful!!!

We went for breakfast and it amazing food and service. Very friendly staff and very welcoming. Thankyou for a great breakfast

Thank you for an amazing breakfast. Liz the waitress is absolutely lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. Food was lovely and hot. Friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend. I was down on a visit from Cambridgeshire. Thank you

Greeted by friendly staff and seen to a table. Very efficient service and made fresh eggs and bacon upon asking for. Nice environment and kept clean. Shall be returning again in the future. Well done team and manager Sarah

Great staff, Great food, Great restaurant. Easy to park, Amazing and quick service, will be busting again soon!

Came back to Toby for a breakfast. Didn’t disappoint. Hot and fresh food, with plenty of choice. Top staff. ⭐️

Rude staff, dry meat and over cooked veggies, only good thing about the trip was the drinks and even they were overpriced.

The food was tasteless , dry and cold. The service was terrible . The lady asked if everything was alright and when I said know she didn’t want to know. I know it’s cheap - but surely it has to be edible .

Absolutely rubbish. Always at Hemel Hempstead, is it just a total let down. I popped in before work at 18:00, looking forward to my dinner. The Turkey was crumbling as it was sliced, and the Gammon was too. Beef, well, what was left of it...

Went lunchtime today. No draft beer no drinks for refills available. Carvery was cold when we started eating.Waitress took it away and microwaved it. Mashed potato was lumpy. Told waitress who said she would inform chef. Did not seem concerned. Disappointed .

We’ve had very good breakfasts at Toby before but this one was a disaster. No toast as the toaster was broken. No beans. The bacon and hash browns were harder than bell metal. 2 hard eggs on display. Asked for some fresh eggs, beans bacon...

7pm booking and only Scraps of meat left /veg sparse and dried up. Famous gravy was like water. Toilets filthy and smelly from the main restaurant door !Everything was luke warm!! Too busy the staff couldn't cope!!

What a great Christmas experience and dinner! Service was 1st class, food was fresh and plenty of it. Would highly recommended this restaurant on any day of the week! Sarah, Kev and Dan provided a first class service, give these guys a promotion and a...

This carvery has recently reopened after a refurbishment. It doesn’t appear to have changed much. Toby maintains its customers get equal meat portions. I order King size and was at first given half a thin slice of turkey, until I complained then only another very...

Staff lovely and attentive food on point and relatively inexpensive. Goid selection of meats and generous portions

I last visited this establishment nearly a year ago and was not impressed with the food or service provided, however, today's experience was 1000 times better, as both the customer service and food was excellent (myself and my carer had a Woucher for a two...

The worst roast dinner I've ever eaten. Such a shame as I'd heard it had improved. Wanted to give it a chance but sadly I won't be going back. Cauliflower cheese was cold, dauphinoise potatoes were actually raw, stuffing was rock hard, gravy was watery....

Went last night and the food was the best it’s ever been. It was exceptionally busy and the staff were rushed off their feet, but they still provided an excellent service. Well done to the new manager, it seems she’s really trying hard to turn...
