Service was good and attentive by Marina. It was very busy and we did have to wait several minutes, there isn’t anywhere suited for waiting (particularly with a wheelchair under) so that was not too good and it did seem a bit chaotic when we arrived. The food selection was excellent although some of the roasts and veg were undercooked and getting cold. The chef looked quite tired and harassed. Puddings were mixed, chocolate fudge was very good, ice cream was good, crumbly not so good. Good selection of drinks.

We had a lovely warm welcome as we walked in, seated swiftly. Had service from Nathan within minutes taking our beverage order. Followed by great food and dessert, with check-back from Nathan in-between. He was very friendly which made the whole dining experience pleasant. He was very helpful with our little one, we will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone.

We used to be regular customers at Newbury but on our recent visit, the food was not very warm, the potatoes were hard and inedible and the turkey poor quality. We also had to wait for drinks, We will not be returning

Came here for the first time due to having just moved to the area that day! Needless to say I did not have the means nor the inclination to cook a full roast dinner, despite the whole family hankering after one... well I don't think I will ever cook a roast dinner again, I'd much rather come here!!! Not only was the food incredible, honestly delicious, but the service was genuinely exceptional. We were served by Liam and he was absolutely wonderdul to us, always checking in, attentive and accommodating. I really can not recommend the place enough due to all the above and especially his fantastic service. He was so friendly and welcoming and I have to say, when you are mid-move and tired and hungry and at your wits end... service like this has you feeling human again in minutes. By the time we left we felt brand new. Stuffed! But brand new 😁 Thank you so much for making what was otherwise an exhausting and testing day a pleasant, wonderful and warm welcome to the area. We will most definitely be back

Absolutely had to update my review. Our lady visit was November '23. We've just been back this week and WOW what a wonderful change. Friendly, enthusiastic staff. Food is exactly what I want from a Toby, decent roast, well cooked meats and amazing potatoes. Puddings were amazing too. Can't beat an ice cream sundae. Hopefully we won't leave it so long to visit again, I know for sure we are all looking forward to it.

for the last few years I’ve visited Toby carvery Newbury I can say it’s never been in as much of a good position as it is in now, new staff are just brilliant, Josh has certainly been fantastic and It wouldn’t suprise me if he is the reason why Newbury has improved rapidly. Niamh has always been so attentive great customer service skills, Mariana is also so bubbly and also a lovely member of staff who works hard, Well done to all and most likely see you again next week!!

Weekly regular! The staff are always welcoming & amazing! Josh the new manager has made such a big difference to the pub! He is bubbly, determined & a great energy to talk to. Henna, Marina and Niamh are lovely and friendly when helping at the table/bar. Niamh is young but engages in conversation which is nice to see. Marina may be small but she works her back side off around the whole place. Jacob helped last week with a voucher not working and fixed the issue very swiftly. Miro is our favourite carver. Polish and friendly and makes a little joke now and then about the yorkies! The portion sizes are better than they used to be and the team always take on feedback whether positive or negative. Credit to the whole team! Hopefully this team stay & thrive.

The food was terrible and I saw one worker only putting scraps of gammon in a takeaway?!? The meat took forever to come out and it was so hot I passed out. Although when my mac and cheese was dry and had no cheese, there was this really nice worker who got me a fresh mac and cheese. And also the meat cutter was rude to my nan because she asked for pork before they had brung more out.

Six of us lunched in the Toby Carvery today. The yorkshire pudding was good as usual as was the meat. My friend said the beef was soft and our turkey and gammon was tasty. Vegetable were adequate but we missed the parsnips, cabbage, leeks and cauliflower cheese which was disappointing as we were looking forward to that. Chef said that Saturday evening would see a bigger variety of vegetables. Jess, on her first day at the Toby and as our server, was delightful and efficient. Compliments to her.

Had the Carvery, correction selected the carvery, but both of us left 90% of it. Great skill by the guy carving the turkey, I couldn't have got it that thin even using a cut throat razor. As to the vedgtables & no I'm not referring to the two so called parents that let there, approximately 4-5 year old grizzle & pretend cry throughout. The one benefit of getting out early. Back to the VEG, cold stewed cabbage & apart from the pease & carrots I couldn't make out what was what. everything topped off by Toby's famous LUKE WARM gravy. Oh and I love stuffing, but one look at there offering & I thought better of it. When asked if everything was ok, I answered Gross. The manager "I assume", said as we didn't eat it the drinks & food were on him. He also apologised and asked if we wanted an alternative, which we declined. As to the drinks, I only drank one 330ml 0% @ £3.70 and left the other as we just wanted to leave.

We go to Toby in Newbury every few months and generally ok, certainly good value for money. This evening, no lights on in car park so it was pitch black. Not a good start. Meat was really nice but everything else mainly cold and manky. We had booked the festive menu which had started 2 days before, but no festive menus on table, had to show staff the dessert menu on their website and they did not seem to know their own menu. Did not have the food for the festive desserts. Really not good, will stay away now.

Went for cavery midweek, and couldn’t believe how bad customer service was here! We walked in and was greeted by a very rude manager. We hadn’t booked but it was very quiet, lots of tables free. He huffed and puffed while looking for a table for 3, and hurried us to a table. Very unfriendly. Food - Bog standard, nothing to rave about at all. Didn’t have to que for food, and everything available , the meat servings were really small. Throughout the evening, we felt we were being watched by staff continually checking what we had on our table updating the order on thier ipad. Even asking for a drink of water took over 30 mins! Orders were getting all mixed up at tables surrounding us and It started to get busier , and noticed a few other tables had picked up on the unpleasant atmosphere of the male manager rushing around the tables. There was a lovely friendly lady waitress who gave us our bill, who was really nice and chatty, she looked rushed off her feet but she served us with a smile ( didn’t have her name!) Wouldn’t rush back here , ok for a quick cheap bite to eat but prefer other places in Newbury that at least make you feel welcome!

Booking our table for lunch on Sunday at 12.30 pm instead of 1pm as we did the first time we ate here was a wise move because we didn't have to queue for 30 minutes for the carvery like we did previously. In fact we were very lucky that there was no queue at all. In spite of some of the recent less than complimentary reviews on here we found that the meat was good and we had plenty of it. My probem with the vegetables was that because I have to be gluten and dairy free I was restricted as to what I could have. I am unable to eat peas so the under cooked cabbage was the only green veg I could have. I did have plenty of other vegetables so it was not too much of a problem. The vegan gravy which was gluten free was very gloopy. Sevice was good too so no complaints there.

I am somewhat a Toby connoisseur now and go to a Toby about once a month. I've been to many different Toby's and Newbury is by far the closest also the most unpredictable. It's either ok or bad. Usually falls under the bad end, depending on the food being overcooked or needing to be replaced, the ever changing staff and being given the smallest amount of meat here than any other Toby I’ve been to. I have even drove to a further Toby Cavery in Reading and will be doing this in the future for a much better experience.

This experience started with no cutlery on the table, then the salt didn’t work because it was damp for both my husband walked past waiting staff who never even asked what the problem was when he changed the salt the same problem, there was staff stood or wondering around and the restaurant was empty. After all of this one of the kitchen assistants came out from the kitchen to tidy the service area with NO GLOVES on he picked up vegetables that had fallen out of the dishes and put them back in the dishes for people to eat!! We saw this with our own eyes from where we were sitting. Made me wonder who’s touched or what had happened to our food before we ate ours. We will not be returning.

We were really looking forward to this breakfast as hadn’t been here for a long time. We were so disappointed - awful meal. The bacon was so hard (and cold) when you cut it (some wouldn’t cut at all) it flew off the plate. The baked beans were cold, no eggs initially then a few fried eggs appeared but no scrambled egg at all. Hash browns ok but barely warm, potato onion mix also ok but barely warm. The best bit was the sausages. The toaster was so low and only toasting one side and that barely changed the colour of the bread. The worst of all was the awful, bitter stewed tepid coffee. Even my son and daughter in law who drink really strong coffee regularly could drink this mud coloured beverage. We certainly won’t be coming for breakfast again. Dare we try the carver or will we be disappointed again?

After a trip out to Kintbury decided to Google local Toby and quickly booked on line and luckily could get a table. Warm and welcoming staff. Clean restaurant and the Carvery meat all available with all accompanying vegetables hot. Quick service. Left a happy customer. Thanks again.
