Toby Carvery in Worthing

We were served by Grace, who was incredibly polite and patient, despite it being busy. Food was good but did see potatoes being put on top of older potatoes which was slightly offputting.

Lovely food and great service but crammed in like sardines, Me and my partner struggled to talk due to how loud and close everyone was.

Liz is my favourite. Courteous, friendly, always looking up to acknowledge guests - funny and efficient. Others could learn from her.

Lovely dinner, *Tracy* and other staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Many thanks

Love coming to toby , staff are amazing specially Tracy

Food was barely lukewarm when it arrived even though we are less than a mile away. Yorkshire pudding even though they looked nice tasted like the oil had burnt before they were cooked so had a burnt oil taste. Cauliflower was barely cooked and was really hard. Roast potatoes weren’t crispy they were very soggy and burnt black. Only saving grace was the turkey was nice and tasty gravy, won’t be using them again as was not worth the money paid. Put most of it out for the fox.

Great meal, nice relaxed atmosphere, Tracy was a great waitress, very friendly

I recently visited Toby Carvery and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Tracy. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and made us feel incredibly welcome. Her friendly and professional demeanor set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic dining experience. Tracy went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for us. She was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at just the right moments to see if we needed anything. What truly stood out was her ability to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Despite the restaurant being busy, Tracy managed to provide exceptional service with a personal touch. She was efficient, polite, and had a wonderful sense of humor, making our visit even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, as always at Toby Carvery, but it was Tracy’s service that made the experience truly memorable. She is a credit to the team, and I sincerely hope management recognises the hard work and dedication she puts into making guests feel valued. If you’re visiting Toby Carvery, I highly recommend asking for Tracy – she will ensure you have a fantastic time. We will definitely be returning, thanks to her outstanding hospitality!

Emma was great. Very helpful and attentive.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The food was very good, and Tracy, our server, was attentive. I would recommend.

Tracy was a fantastic server, she had the right balance of being available when needed but not being intrusive. Great service, food was fresh and tasty. Great value for money

Tracy was fantastic! Huge portions and delicious

Tracy is a lovely waitress with good knowledge

Lovely carvery, Emma was a great waitress, made it really easy with the kids. Thank you.

Excellent meal at Toby Carvery Worthing! Our server was Tracy and she was kind, efficient and cheerful!

Stopped in for a meal in the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised with how much meat was served. Emma was a lovely waitress, very succinct in taking our order. I did find the Mac and cheese to be very bland though.

Lovely food and excellent service by Tracy very attentive

5 stars for Tracy we are never disappointed with her service she is always so smiley and friendly and makes sure we have time to think of what we want before taking our order! We will definitely hope to have her again as our waitress ☺️

Had a really nice experience with a super friendly waiter named Emma. Amazing service and lovely food!

Great meal, lovely service by Emma, felt a little lightheaded and was promptly brought a nice ice cold glass of water to help cool down. 10/10.

Had a lovely first meal at Toby Carvery. Lovely server Emma helped my other half when she was feeling a bit faint brought her some water over and kept checking in to make sure she was okay. Excellent service!

Went for lunch, first time in a Toby so unsure what to expect. Our server was lovely, very friendly and helpful. House red was good, brother enjoyed his Guinness and the others had unlimited soft drinks. Not much left of the meat although there was a fresh joint of beef, so we all had that. The vegetables were plentiful with lots of choice, although I have to say none of it was hot, warm is more accurate, so that was disappointing. I booked a table asking for room to have a pram and they obliged with perfectly situated seating. At no point were we rushed, our server checked everything was okay, if we wanted more drinks, etc. For a very reasonably priced lunch you really can't do any better, especially as the potatoes and vegetables are unlimited if you want to go back for more. We didn't.

The waitress, Emma, was very polite and helpful x . But the Yorkshire just crumbled into powder and the hostess rolled her eyes at an old couple who wanted help, which I thought was rude

Steve the Chef took made us feel very welcome and carved excellent meats. This Toby really is at the top of its game. Thank you Steve.

Great food, good friendly service, and excellent atmosphere

Great food and Emma our server was so friendly , Leyton the carver was also excellent and very friendly. Would come again as great service and food

Fabulous celebration meal for our preschool. Food was lovely, lashing off gravy!

Went for breakfast. Apparently unlimited. When we paid, I wasn't reminded of what time breakfast service closes. Perhaps I should have asked. So got some oily fried eggs, dry bacon and very liquid baked beans, as well as a nice potato cheese bake. There were also hash browns and black pudding as well as a large Yorkshire pudding or puddings. Looks like the Yorkshire's were baked together, but then had to be surgically separated with a set of tiny teaspoons. Unless they exploded in the oven to give this really other-worldly appearance. We turned some bread into toast in that slow travellator machine, but I'm always intrigued why there is a setting for burning the toast. And why, on this day, despite the protective cover, that the burn setting was chosen. I have yet to meet someone that intentionally toasts a slice of bread until it is black, and I'm 60 years old! And yet here we were - dark black toast produced. In the absence of staff, we simply sat down with our offerings, but had there been some staff bobbing between tables, we would have spoken up. Meanwhile , on the other side of the display, we were fortunate to get a coffee from the full pot. Many of the tables were full of discarded breakfast remains from previous diners, so staff were somewhat slow to collect these. So finally, after some eating and chatting, I noticed it was 11.10 and decided on another coffee with an accompanying slice of toast with marmalade; but to my surprise, the coffee pot and toast machines had gone. Meanwhile, turned around to see the first carvery roasts of the day, that made it to the serving area. Where I guess they sit under the lights to dry out until lunch starts at 12. I rarely if ever, visit a Toby carvery for breakfast because we don't have one near where I live, and only did so today because Octopus Energy gave me a voucher. So it's a pity that serving times weren't mentioned at the till point, or that staff didn't sweep round with a verbal reminder, while collecting dishes from the nearby tables. Although I got one free breakfast for my party, via the exorbitant cost of my Octopus gas and electricity supply, I did expect to be able to get one more coffee under the Toby Unlimited Coffee scheme, but that was an unfulfilled dream. Next month, I will try breakfast again; otherwise the carvery in the afternoon.

Great choice of meats and vegetables. The honeycomb ice cream dessert was extremely good too. We had Tracy as our server and she was very quick and efficient, service with a smile.

Had a lovely visit to the George carvery as usual, attentive and friendly service from our waitress esmé and good hot food, we shall be back soon!

Esme. Was fantastic as usual can't wait to come back thanks 👍 no

Me and my mum come here quite often and more time than not we are served by Esme who is simply exemplary. Nothing is ever too much and always has such a cheery disposition. A really asset to the team.

Charlie our server couldn’t have been more attentive and it was nice to have a proper conversation with Antony, our carver. Both members of staff are a credit to the company Only downside was table felt crammed in - table 18

Three of us went for a birthday meal, carvery followed by pudding. Always have a tasty and filling meal in a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Thanks Goring carvery staff.

Typical of the brand. We had a party of 20 so were given an area just for us. Their breakfast menu was good and a reasonable price. Staff were excellent.

The food was amazing, the meat was tender and the roast potatoes were very Crispy. Both me and my partner have allergies and the lady who came over to help us Joan was beyond helpful checked everything we could and couldn't have especially as my allergy is rear but she made sure it was all safe and knew what we could and couldn't have

Good value, good food. The guy serving the carvery was fantastic, cheerful and friendly to every single customer, Nice to see someone doing their job happily.

Great place good food and service

Amazing food in a family-friendly atmosphere, generous portions, and lovely staff! All so wonderful! Thank you xx

Great carvery as always: Tracy is a lovely waitress!

Good food and value for the money

We had a wonderful time we will be back great staff and food.

Tracey was our waitress and looked after us from the moment we came into the restaurant . Made us feel very welcomed.

Had a lovely experience with Toby Worthing, lovely food and a great selection and lovely service with Tracy, nice and professional service recommended going.

I love Toby carvery. Always enjoy a good roast. Tonight they were on point. Everything was tasty. Beef and turkey roast with all the veg I could fit on the plate covered in gravy galore. Tracey was our waitress tonight and she friendly and efficient as always. Adam who carved our meat was lovely as usual, always jokey with us. I would also like to mention Nicole and Esme who work there too. They have been our waitresses many times are are always so friendly and always helpful. Toby feels like home.

Toby is a place a large group can go and eat cheap food with plenty of space……but not a lot more to it. Even though you book they never seem fully prepared and it feels like you’re in a low budget establishment. (I’m not a snob! But it’s cheapskate!). The porridge and strawberries were nice! Most of the group had the full English breakfast and I didn’t hear them complaining. If you like quality, good service & ambience……it isn’t for you. Have the right expectations and you’ll be fine, if not, full!

Collected a carvery lunch today against my best judgement after my last encounter? Fool me , potatoes must have been cooked last Wednesday?Meat scraps , paid for two Yorkshire's and got 1? Food cold and miserable ! Never again crooks ,

Thank you Tracy for the excellent customer service you gave. Smiles and friendly. Made our experience much better because you were attentive.

Kindly gave us a well positioned table as I requested. Selection of 5 meats was good. 2 types of roast potatoes. Good veg selection. Lovely gravy. Big Yorkshires. All tasted good Maybe the carrots were a bit hard would be the only negative I could manage.

It was surprisingly nice - really enjoyed it

Oh dear what has happened here. Booked our usual table just inside the door for my grandaughters birthday. The idea was she was to be surprised by her friends without disturbing the rest of the customers. The guy on the door said the table was meant for 5, and as there were 4 of us we couldn't sit there despite there only being 3 people just finishing sitting there at the time. He said they were very busy, but half the tables were empty. We ended up being poked away somewhere else so the big surprise didn't happen. The service was so slow. After finishing the first course and waiting over 15 mins we had to find a waitress for our second course. Despite going to this restaurant every week for a very long time, maybe a friday is not the day to go. Think we got rather settled with the usual staff and today these others weren't very accommodating. Not sure when we will return.

Had a lovely family meal. Table was ready and service and food was very good.

First time in a Toby Carvery. I doubt I would go again. All the veg was overcooked, Mac cheese and cauliflower didn’t taste of cheese at all and the Yorkshire pudding looked impressive but had no flavour. Meat, potatoes and gravy were nice.

Absolute dire ... I went there for a breakfast with my partner . Price was great but the breakfast absolutely disgusting = no notable vegatarian options available ..baked beans watered down and cheap...chopped tomatoes appeared watered down too ...the hash browns were so tough you could've bounced them off the walls ....!! My boyfriend enjoyed his egg ...however the bacon was undercooked . And who serves Yorkshire puddings for breakfast ?? They do apparently...? And with bacon inside the Yorkshire pudding ?! When I politely complained *and I never complain usually when I go out for food * about no vegetarian sausages I was told *if you want some you have to ask the chef and he will make some * = that's fine but there is no signs saying so !! Won't be returning ... grim!! When I politely

I always eat at The Toby when I’m in Worthing.

Appears to be a nice pub, with friendly staff and the food was good on the Friday lunchtime we visited. A chip-free pub on all accounts, which makes a nice change. Sadly during the lunchtime we visited there was no hand soap, and the hand dryer was broken, in the gents toilets. The carvery is popular so be prepared to wait a good 10 or so minutes during busy lunch times. Sadly not the easiest place to park if driving, as spaces are limited, especially during busy periods.

Emma was absolutely lovely. Came here on Sunday evening with 4 of my friends. We each had a carvery and were one of the last tables in. The staff behind the hosting station couldn’t have been more attentive at making sure we got fresh Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. Emma ( know her name from the receipt) was great at her job and couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you for being so hospitable. She is an asset to your company.

Excellent night at the Toby the evening Esme was absolute champ with the service and all her recommendations for food were spot on. She really knows her stuff Would absolutely visit again soon

Fantastic food and fantastic service!

The hash browns eggs and black pudding was hard very poor

honestly just a wonderful time here, staff were fab, food was delicious and came out in record time. a perfect experience :)

nice enough place, food is cheap, been here many times

This place is going downhill. Make you pay for your breakfast before you get there to find out there is nothing hopefully someone looks at this and thinks we need to fix this. Please avoid at all costs. Breakfast is a pile of cold crap.

2 of us went here yesterday morning for our first Toby breakfast.It was the first morning of an offer so busy but not overly. The whole experience was chaotic,amateurish, anything but relaxing. But it was good value for money.The food itself was ok but not great.Some horrible slimy diced potato dish (tepid).Bacon ok if you fished around for good bits.Eggs very small,very underdone and swimming in oil.Beans scarce in a large bowl of just the juice..needed refilling.Sausages fine as were mushrooms and tinned tomatos.Hash browns bit tough but ok. Yorkies didn't contain the diced bacon or whatever it said on the menu online,clearly fromthe carvery the night before.Help yourself to toast and drinks..both fine.The problem is(as a staff member told me)there's not enough staff and they are penny pinching too.Butter ran out twice.Same with Marmaade.Eggs ran out and so did milk.No small bowl or cup or saucer to put used tea bags in. You get given a knife and fork and a mug and a teaspoon when you pay in advance at the bar.I dropped my knife.There is no spare cutlery at all..chef told me to go to the bar where there is a queue of people arriving.No spare mugs if you want a coffee and then a tea (free refills).And on top of all of this there is absolutley no one around to get anything topped up ,same with hot food. I yelled at the top of my voice over the hot food through to the kitchen.The whole restaurant looked up (no,really) but it took 3 goes for someone from the kitchen to come out to tell them there were no eggs.So if you're not too fussy and you make the most of the free refills its not to bad a place to spend an hour or 2.

Had a lovely afternoon lunch everyone was very accommodating to myself and my partner. Our waitress was Charlie and she was wonderful. Very polite and attentive and excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend

Has an amazing experience at Toby carvery in goring with my partner the service was amazing had an amazing waitress named Charlie who was happy to assist thank you

Wouldn't recommend as the Carvery was very disappointing. Cauliflower cheese was hard & under cooked. The roast potatoes were over cooked & tough. The Gammon was dry & yorkshire pudding was tasteless

Unhappy with the service. Needed a passport to have a nonalcoholic beer at a restaurant despite the law being able to drink an alcoholic drink with a meal at the age of 16. The manger could not comply with the law as he was worried he may be sent to prison for serving an 18 year old a non alcoholic beer. This company have gone above and beyond the law of the UK to limit the simplest of freedoms and enjoyments in the manner in which they feel. The liberty of exercising individual rights are being eroded at every step and even just by sitting down with a family and having Sunday lunch is being restrained to another’s personal views.

Came for breakfast with 2 friends Food was delicious and coffee always topped up and hot. Staff from the kitchen was always in and out checking the food wasn’t running low Wasn’t too busy so me and my friends could have a lovely chat without having to shout Will definitely go again

Came in here the other day with my partner and are friends to come in and be told that it was fully booked and we couldn’t just walk in. This was fine as we hadn’t booked. We thought we would go online and see if there was any spaces to eat later on in the day only to be surprised to be able to book for the time we arrived. After booking and walking in to the same man and saying we had booked, we got seated. He was very snappy and also did this with another family. Odd experience

Had a pre booked table for 6 on Sunday 26/01@ 15.00. We arrived in time to be informed that they were experiencing a flood and the restaurant was closed. This happens to be the third time, time before water was flooding from the kitchen, then another time notice on door explaining they were closed due to staff shortages. Becoming a habit. We had driven over from Brighton, couldn't a staff member have informed us so as to save a journey. We found a local pub in Hove, but unfortunately the children were so disappointed as they like the gammon at Toby. Let us hope next that time everything is working order. Unfortunately i cannot answer any of the below questions as we didn't get anything.

As on all our previous visits everything was great, food really fabulous & service exceptional, very friendly staff.

We visited the Toby carvery for breakfast yesterday (Sunday) 2/2/25. I was extremely disappointed having used this venue for many years Including back when it was called the George. We queued for our breakfast and I requested scrambled eggs which one of the workers behind the counter went to make. I waited there for 10 minutes with my plate of food to add the scrambled eggs and nobody came out. I went back to my table to put the plate down, then returned to the counter where I was told that the eggs had been given out already! Obviously, not to me. By the time I returned to sit down my food was virtually cold. We queued for another 10 minutes to make some toast and all in all with queueing to get a hot Drink it was not a pleasant experience and cost me £40 for the four of us. I never did receive the scrambled eggs.Very disappointed.

Quite possibly the worst breakfast i have had in a long time. Poor housekeeping with dirty uncleared tables. Hardly any prepared food under the hot lamp. Bean juice no beans. Black pudding rock solid. Sausages tasted funny. What food you could get was luke warm. Very unenjoyable experience.

Great atmosphere and amazing food good service

As always great food and great value and good friendly service

Good for a Sunday carvery...had a turkey roast dinner

The carvery was lovely and the staff very welcoming

The choice of meat was good but the vegetable choice was poor. No sprouts or parsnips ,they are in season. I ordered a child's carvery for my grandson. One of the sausages was very overcooked and he could not eat that or the macaroni cheese because it was cold and had very little cheese flavour. We were not offered a credit for this.

I have visited your restaurant few times. It's always good food. This time I got a Too good to go meal. Most was just veg. Carrots, peas and cauliflower. No yourkshire pudd, all roast over cooked, and mash with roast. I not want 2 type of potatoes. One meat only turkey. Should least get 2 types. It flet like just chucked in. Service was like here you go buy. Barely looked at the order on my phone. I stick to the nice pleasant staff and eat in. Wont recommend this to anyone. I even advise against it.

The meat & vegetables were all brilliant quality & servings very generous.. Staff very friendly, atmosphere great & nice & warm. One of our Favourite Tobys a Must Go To...

If customers are queuing out of the door then everything works beautifully. Food is great and service is friendly and prompt. But it’s a completely different experience if you are coming in during quiet periods. We had a 7.30pm booking tonight, the carvery was basically full of scraps. Scraping the bowl of gravy to get some, meat dry, and everything tasted like it had been on the heat for hours. The service falls apart as well, waitresses on their phones and nobody behind the bar. The kids drinks machine served me fizzy brown water too, obvs nobody has checked on the syrups for days. Needs managing properly in quiet times. The site at Downlands offers a better experience at any time of day.

Usually I love a Toby Carvery but not this time. The restaurant was chaos! The queue for food was ridiculously long, and the restaurant was hugely under staffed. Despite booking we waited nearly 40mins to be seated and if this wasn’t annoying enough we were sent to the bar area to wait, which that had virtually no seating available, used glasses were everywhere, with discarded old dinner plates piling up on disused tables. Thank goodness the food was decent. Note to self, avoid at weekends.

From booking to seated it's perfect, to top it off great choices of food all piping hot. Attentive staff complete a perfect meal out

1st time here Service was great Breakfast was lovely

We went here on Boxing day (26th Dec 2024) and had a fantastic festive set menu, including a starter and a main course. We were given wonderful service by Zara (The Manageress) who was so giving and attentive to our needs, on such a busy day. We will certainly be back next Boxing Day, if not before.

Everything at the Toby is great. We're regular visitors and have yet to be disappointed

Great food and service roast spuds in dripping wow Place was clean Waitress very helpful she made me have a pudding lol So glad she did sticky toffee was to die for Family celebration

Polite friendly staff, good food

Service fantastic, food was excellent

You get what you pay for, lovely service :)

Best service there customer service is brilliant! And the assistant manager he was very welcoming and the food was beautiful

Great food and atmosphere! Very good, helpful and friendly staff!

Had a pleasant experience! So much better than it used to be! Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Food was hot which used to be a big issue. I haven't been to a carvery in years and after going there I would definitely go again! Accommodated my disabled brother and our kids top notch service. Will recommend to others! Great experience

The restaurant provides a hearty meal that feels like a home-cooked Sunday Roast .Its a wonderful choice for roast lovers and those looking for a dependable, family- friendly dining experience.Staff are attentive and efficient 👏👏👏👏👏

Good food, friendly atmosphere, great for kids!

The food was rather tasteless and the gravy was watery. The Yorkshire pudding was rubbery. We usually eat there once a week but will be looking for other options now as it was not nice food

Excellent staff friendly and efficient the food was tasty. I’m gluten free and often staff make me feel a nuisance I therefore felt I had to tell you how much I appreciated Tom the carvery chef he checked to see if I could have the roast potatoes which gravy I could have and offered ordinary cauliflower as I could not have the cauliflower cheese. Thank you so much for your concern and kindness

Enjoyed special offer carvery. Very busy and car parks completely full at midday on a Friday

We were booked for 1430. I think this is the second run with the first being 12 as we had to wait 10 mins or so for fresh meats to come out and they basically put all fresh out veg. It was well worth the wait , the beef and lamb were so succulent. Spuds lovely not the recooked ones you get. Couldn’t fault it, the best of a Toby carvery. Bought the free refill drinks as well so fully fed and watered for £15.
