Toby Carvery in Harlow

great…staff always friendly table always set food great brilliant with kids go every friday lunch fantastic service x

Service was excellent. The server Samantha was very helpful Mike the caver very polite perfect service from all. And the food was perfect to.

So much went wrong with our recent visit here for breakfast Firstly the bin outside the front door was overflowing which meant disgusting dirty nappies greeted you at the entrance of the restaurant. I overheard a customer complain to staff who said they would deal with it but when we left it was still the same Took ages to be served at the bar. When eventually served we ordered our breakfast and asked for 3 veggie sausages each. We were told they come in portions of 2 and were offered 4. We explained we’d like 6 as it’s advertised as all you can eat and if it were meat sausages you could have 20 if you wanted to. She begrudgingly agreed We then ordered a latte and a cappuccino. The lady gave our cappuccino to a woman who had ordered after us. When we questioned it we were told “your coffee is coming”. No apology for the mix up. Stood around ages for two bitter tasting machine coffees When we finally received our veggie sausages they were completely undercooked and inedible. This is baffling as veggie sausages are so quick to cook so how you can serve them basically raw is baffling The breakfast buffet was just as bad. The fried eggs were in a bath of oil and were all completely falling apart. It was impossible to retrieve one fully fried egg The hash browns were also undercooked and falling apart The beans had zero taste. There was no ketchup left. We asked one of the chefs for some more and they told us to ask a waitress but we couldn’t find one and was hungry so gave up Want to end this review by stating that I don’t expect a fine dining experience when coming to Toby carvery. But I do expect food to be edible and a basic level of customer service! Avoid at all costs

Be wary of the parking - I was reassured by the restaurant that it’s 3 hours free in the station car park but we’ve just received a fine so we are less than impressed. The restaurant itself was dirty, toilets absolutely disgusting and food average. Only positive was the lovely man cutting up the carvery meat and our waitress. Won’t return.

Dee is an angel!! She is the best and was so accommodating to us. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Thank you dee for making our experience 10/10.

We we're celebrating my partner's 60th Birthday. We had Alisha serving us and she was very accomodating. The staff came out and all sang Happy Birthday which I didn't know they were going to do. The lady on reception opened the cake box so my partner couldn't see as it was his cake and said ballerinas. She did make us laugh. All the food and drinks were as we wanted them. The dinner was lovely. The only thing I could criticise was the serving utensils were too hot for us to handle. A few if us on our table got burnt, we soon dropped the utensils when we found out and should have reported it to the restaurant. Just be careful, but enjoy the lovely food they cook. Thank you, will come again soon.

Niki was rushed off her feet, but still was very attentive to all of our needs. She was extremely friendly and one of the better waitresses at the restaurant.

I use this particular Toby restaurant on a regular basis. Staff are always professional helpful and friendly. This can be said of the Server today Jane who did an excellent job today. This can also be said of the Carver Kori who skill of carving the meat is most proficient and excellent at his job Would recommend this Toby Carvery Restaurant Harlow to friends family and any one else. Always accommodating professional helpful and friendly.

Great service here, wasn't too busy. Came on a Saturday and our server was Jane and our Carver was Mike. Very accommodating and took the time to talk to our son and be patient with him as he's on the spectrum and can sometimes take a while to answer. Food was tasty, and the restaurant was clean. And didn't break the bank!

Great service,slight disappointment no beef,food hot and plenty of choice ,veggie parcel really tasty,daughter thoroughly enjoyed her sticky toffee pudding,had high chair for grandson

Great dinner quick after work food was lovely - best bit was sponge and custard - throw back joy Dee our server was awesome

First time here and very pleasantly surprised, Very affordable and very welcoming staff Thank you Dee! for your lovely smile.. Will definitely come again!

Dee was our waitress and as friendly and helpful as always. We come to the Toby at least once a week and we are never disappointed Thankyou x

Great carvery, I echo many of the other reviews complimenting Dee’s service!! Very friendly and polite throughout, would visit again.

Was seated straight away, Donna was my server, and was great. The food was nice and hot, and lovely, thank you. Will come again.

Came here while working away from home. After a long day on site, a belly full of proper food is what you need. Staff were pleasant. Very fast service. Excellent food and very cheap (£15 with a refill and I can’t move)

Went for a 7yr olds birthday party, 8 7yr olds, a 13yr old and 2 stressed adults.. and I have to say our server Dee was absolutely amazing and on the ball, she had the patience of a saint. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank you Dee

Sam was our server for our table. Professional knowledgeable helpful and friendly. The Carver Mike again Professional helpful and friendly. Both did their jobs exceedingly well. Always enjoy our meals there each month.

Dee was great, the service was really good considering how busy it was! Food was also really nice, and the desserts came out really quickly!

Food was lovely, lovely staff. Only problem drinks machine wasn't working properly so only small choice of drinks. Good value for money lots of food

Food as usual good,this time a very nice and polite helping service,from Dee, thanks, highly recommended...and she's good looking...x

A massive thank you and shoutout to Alfie for being such a lovely server! Upon being seated he came over to take our orders promptly and I informed him at the time my sugar levels were extremely low and if he would be able to bring over the drinks(glasses) first. He went above and beyond and filled up my drink for me which was the kindest and most accommodating gesture! Thank you for all your help Alfie!

We take our Granddaughter a couple times a month on Friday afternoon for a roast dinner. The staff have always been very welcoming to us and Laura our waitress was excellent. She explained the options well as our little granddaughter is dairy intolerant and despite being very busy she was very professional, prompt and friendly. As was Mike the meat carver. The meat that we had ( beef and turkey ) was very tender and there was a good selection of vegetables that were cooked well. A very nice experience. Thank you.

Alisha our waitress at the Harlow Toby was lovey. Friendly and gave a great service. We had the carvery, but have to say the veg was looking a bit dry, but we did go in during a quiet period. Other than that all was great and will say Alisha is a credit to Toby Carvery.

Lovely food, brilliant service by Donna!!! Would return…good price. Potatoes were scrummy 😋 would defo bring the kids !!

Always brilliant, Alisha is usually our waitress and she is always brilliant. Lovely food and friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone! :)

The server behind the bar named Becky was absolutely wonderful. She provided brilliant service and was really friendly and always had a smile on her face. The food was delicious too.

Great welcome and the usual great selection of food. Dee was a great server - friendly and professional. The carvery meat was excellent and the choice of vegetables was amazing. The pudding choices are really tempting and the quality was excellent.

Often use the Toby as good value and the only place where I can get a good variation of vegetables with the meat.

Food was lovely when we visited. Nice and clean and gravy nice and full. Friendly staff and speedy service will definitely recommend and go back again :)

Great for families ,went for lunch with my mum and daughter,food was hot,plenty of variety,staff member Andrew couldn’t of been more attentive,made the whole experience a 10 out of 10,would happily recommend and visit again

Our waitress was very pleasant but she had far too many tables to look after especially as she was pregnant. Bless her she was rushed off her feet. As for the food well I certainly won’t be in a rush to go back ! We went on a Tuesday early evening for a birthday gathering (9) which was busier than I would have expect. There was only one person servicing/carving so waited quite a while in the queue. Portion sizes were quite small on meat but plenty of veg on offer however, it was really overcooked and very messy. I decided on just a few roast potatoes but they weren’t great so left most of it. I know people help themselves and sometimes don’t worry about the mess they leave behind but it would be better if another person was behind the counter trying to keep it presentable. Gravy was cold and awful. Parking is a problem but obviously beyond their control

The service was amazing from Kim! She went above and beyond for us as it was my friends birthday, really made the day special. Will definitely be recommending this place and has really been cleaned up by the new and permanent manger!!

Had breakfast this morning it was brilliant. Service from the young man behind the bar (Kai) was amazing and super helpful!

Brilliant service from the bar staff and floor staff. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Food was superb and the 2 wonderful men carving the meat were friendly and funny! Definitely will be returning!

Fantastic service especially from the bar staff. Food was lovely and great service all round. Especially Stacey great service with a smile.

Got charged £100 for 1 hour parking, yes I know Toby Carvery doesn't own the car park but the sign says 3 hours free. There should be a warning in the restaurant about this! Or at least check parking because I have seen other reviews...

Yet again we had today another excellent meal at our favourite Toby in Harlow. Our turkey was impressively sliced by “The King of the Carvers”, Ricky, whilst Anya gave friendly and very efficient service whilst we sat at our table. The Yorkshires maintained the very...

Had a great meal at this Toby, once again. It really seems to get better - believe there is a new manager in place, and they really seemed to cleaned the place up. Outside is so much tidier - no rubbish lying around, and inside...

Called in for a quick evening meal. Served by Kazia. The meal was really good and great value. Kazia took it really seriously to make sure we didn't have a problem with food allergies. It's was great to see her truly caring about her customers...

We had dinner Saturday, January 13. Around 7:30pm. Bad service, and very rude manager (I think she's a manager) too long to write here. Not coming back anymore.

The venue is standard fr one of these. We went as a group for breakfast: No eggs (cooker broken apparently) and the rest was tasty but not even close to hot. Decent value overall but not up to the usual Toby standard. We won’t be...

Booked to be seated next to my friend and her son to be told sit where you like, apart from the reserved seats, which didn’t make a lot of sense because we had reserved our seats. Took 20 minutes queuing to pay for the food...

Lovely atmosphere and beautiful roast dinner! Was served by a young woman called Stacey, she was polite, professional and attentive - everyone needs staff as cheerful as her this time of year! Roast dinner tastes like it was home cooked and desserts go down like...

Visited Toby Carvery Harlow on 13/12/23 Stacey behind the bar was fantastic at serving us promptly although the bar was pretty busy. And Jadon from the kitchen mad us a fabulous meal. Wonderful will definitely visit again. Fantastic friendly bar staff.
