I really wanted to praise your manager/assistant manager. I think her name was Charlotte. Unfortunately didn't get to eat as my mum had a fall in the restaurant. Charlotte was amazing and stayed with me and my mum till we got my mum ready to get in a car to go to hospital. Props to her though for guessing that my mum's ankle wasn't broken, that first aid training came in handy. Charlotte is an amazing person and you are lucky to have this staff member in your company. Me and my mum send our thanks 😊

Long queue times to get food- staff was being shouted at while we got our food and then we found black plastic in our food. When we informed the manager they said it would be from the Yorkshire puddings (I’m gluten free and had no Yorkshire puddings) and didn’t seem that concerned

Took the family for an early evening meal at The Toby. The teenagers loved it, the adults not so much. Whether that tells you something, I don't know. The food wasn't hot really. Just very warm. The meat was a bit bland and the roast potatoes were barely roasted. The choice on offer was plentiful but it was all a bit average. There was nothing memorable about the meal and no incentives to come back in the future. Such a shame, nice building, comfortable surroundings, warm and friendly staff. Just forgotten as soon as you leave.

Amazing family meal out! We entered the establishment and was greeted by a very welcoming gent Saturday morning only way to describe him was covered in tattoos, He welcomed us explained what we had to do and was very pleasant. We noticed that his customer service throughout was exceptional to all guests that entered which was lovely to see. He went above and beyond for our party and I can’t thank him enough. He made our experience very welcoming and we even had a laugh with him which you don’t get much these days. People are always quick enough to complain when something has gone wrong but recognition is something that is important and I feel this guy deserves it. So a massive thank you to the guy covered in tattoos it was a pleasure and we will definitely be back again.

Honestly cannot fault this place, the food was fresh, hot and delicious with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Went with family and had a lovely time, nothing was too much trouble and the staff were incredibly helpful and inviting. It wasn't over crowded, which was brilliant, no long cues, calm and warm atmosphere. Perfect for dining with young children. I would definitely recommend this place to others and look forward to going again soon.

Came at lunchtime today to find the restaurant quite quiet, but the young, scruffily dressed 'manager' wanted to sit us next to another occupied table - I refused as there was so many empty tables, and when I asked if we could sit next to the window, I was told, 'No, as I've only got two waiting staff on today and want that kept empty.' This was obviously a lie as 20 minutes later he was having a meeting/interview with someone else! Anyway, the carver was pleasant and had personality. There was plenty of food, which was tasty too, including 2 lots of roast potatoes - 1 for veggies and another pot cooked in beef dripping.

We have been to this Toby Carvery a few times now and this one is definitly the last. The food was cold even though we saw them bring it out fresh, when we mentioned this, we were just told sorry. We went on Good Friday and it was almost empty, which we found surprising, now we know why. We paid over £70 for 4 carverys and drinks and it really wasnt worth it at all, all 4 of us left nearly all of our food. We won't be using it again.

Really shocked at just how good this Toby Carvery is! Honestly, every aspect of our visit for my Dad's birthday was taken care of. I recieved txt and email confirmation and info regarding my booking, wonderful welcome when we arrived, catered to all requests including bringing out the cake and singing. Food was amazing, service from Sam to start and then Leona was perfect, I was even impressed with kitchen staffs professional behaviour with great customer service when serving along with clean and tidy uniforms, something not always seen in restaurants. Thank you so much for making my Dad's birthday special :)

Breakfast is great value here with a good choice. Visited this Toby twice while spending the weekend in Lincoln, once for drinks on Saturday evening and breakfast on the Sunday. Staff were lovely on both occasions and the chef was constantly checking there was ample fresh food available at the breakfast buffet. A much nicer experience than Wetherspoons, as the food was hot and you could take your pick, plus the pub itself was clean, comfortable and warm.

Regular venue for us. As app users we used the 50% off offer which made the meal even better! Can never fault the food - vegetable choice is changed regularly and meat always good. Leona was our hostess today - not seen her before, but got a lovely greeting, she was aware of all customers and even offered to help me with my food to the table, having seen I use a walking stick.

In general the food was quite nice, but what I'd usually expect from a carbery, however we found it quite overpriced for a Sunday standard carvery at £14. We regularly attend a different carvery (by Greene King) which we think is much better value at £10.49and the food tends to be tastier and meat potion sizes a little bigger. In addition it's a shame that Toby Carvery offer blue light discount but this is not applicable on a Saturday and Sunday which was disappointing to learn. I suggest Toby Carvery review their blue light offering to include the weekends.

After a long mornings work from 2am to 1pm I arranged to meet my wife for a chilled drink before heading home. We decided to meet and try out our local pub, The Lincoln Green as we understood it is under new owners and would like to support it.. Sadly on being asked if we were drinking only I was asked if we would go into the bar area. The lady was friendly and I have absolutely no issues with her as this is obviously(in my view) a very misguided policy. I informed her that we would not wish to do that as in the past we have found it cold with wooden floors which when the football is on makes it noisy. I have no issues with this in general as I enjoy watching football and make special trips to do so at pubs for the atmosphere but on this occasion myself and my wife just wanted a quiet, comfortable drink together. I explained this and added that the comfortable restaurant was totally empty. We were offered the chance begrudgingly to sit tucked around the corner as a large table(15 which soon turned to 8) was expected shortly. She declared that on this occasion we could but she had to state she couldn't promise in the future. I told her that we wouldn't waste our time trying in the future. We will just go straight to the CENTURION or HARROWS where we know we can sit in comfort and nice decoration for a quiet drink. Things I don't understand-1) if I was eating I would much prefer some atmosphere with some drinkers as opposed to an empty restaurant. 2) Had it been 11.30 with the possibility of a full restaurant I can understand not wishing to take tables but this was 2pm and totally empty. 3) we were not a noisy group who would be shouting and swearing and could spoil someone's dining experience 4) Surely a pub should be able to cater for diners, sports and football fans AND couples hoping for just a nice drink. Sadly, unless this policy changes we will not be back(unless to watch the football)

I am allergic to Garlic and often struggle to find things to eat in restaurants. The staff here were so friendly, they checked through ingredients and even offered to tweak the menu to make me something. Even though the pub is a Hungry Horse, the staff made it feel like a local, rather than a franchise.
