Toby Carvery in Worthing

Very impressed. All arrived very quickly. Delivery person was pleasant. All good

Delivered on time but the only thing that was hot was the gravy, the potatoes were so burnt they were completely inedible, peas were dry and shrivelled. Such a shame because the portions were great sizes even the kids ones, but so much was cold or inedible it was a waste. Wouldn’t rule out trying again and hoping it was a one off today

Awful service, tiny table, unacceptable wait for food from the carvery. Food wasn't very nice when we eventually received it.

Excellent to meet up with family as a great choice of food and plenty of it. Very clean and a warm welcome on arrival. The chef who carved the meat was very polite and the portions given were ample. Lots of vegetables to choose from so catered for all tastes. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

potatoes bern and Yorkshire pudding totally flat. not very good to be honest

Delicious hot food and friendly delivery thank you

Bland mush on a plate hardly no meat .. custard taste like soap

Delicious hot food and friendly delivery thank you

Monday lunchtime carvery. We had prebooked. Luckily as it was really busy and quite rightly so. Great, friendly staff and amazing food. Excellent value for money (especially with a Bluelight card). We all opted for the carvery. Generous portion of meat and really tasty veg. Could not fault anything. Very highly recommended. Totally forgot to take a pic of the actual food as was so busy eating it!! 😂

Came for breakfast this morning and the staff were beyond helpful and the food was to die for. I love a Toby breakfast! Will definitely be returning!!

My wife and I went to the Downland on Tuesday, 18 February and, as in our previous visits, our waitress was friendly and professional. Unfortunately this was the high point of the evening. When we went up to the carvery, all the vegetable dishes had been removed from the hot plate, presumably for cleaning, but regrettably this had not included the floor which was a mess of spilled peas. I pointed this out to a member of staff but when we left an hour and a half later the hazard remained. Back on the subject of food, neither Yorkshire puddings or Turkey were available, which was just about understandable on a busy Saturday night but not what you would expect on a Tuesday in February. As both the beef and the pork looked singularly unappetising I settled for the meat free option and was handed a square, stone cold plate. The vegetables had now been returned to the hotplate but were nowhere near as hot as they should be and, as a result, when I returned to my table I had a plate of tepid vegetables including some sliced carrot which was virtually raw. With the notable exception of the staff, the quality of service in this establishment has been steadily deteriorating for some time. Urgent, proactive management is desperately needed.

Everyone was nice here and helpful. Been a few times to a Toby and often staff are clearly unhappy and they huff and anything is too much trouble. Today however the staff were great. Especially David on the buffet! I’ve never met such a pleasant, sociable and kind guy on the carvery. He was brilliant!

Sit in and take away food is always hot and delicious. Great value for money

No garlic bread with mushrooms. Only one small pot of gravy even though 2 dinners. No Yorkshire with child’s meal, very little meat. Cold. No choice of cream or icecream for fudge cake. But fudge cake was fabulous. No space to choose vegetables.

Staff always very polite Food excellent as always

Nice food good variety of vegetables good service

Easy to park. Went on a Fri evening. Busy but no queue. Food hot, freshly cooked and great choices.

Carvery was nice and fresh, our server was Sally who is a brilliant waitress and super friendly

Karen was a friendly, attentive waitress and Kieran was very professional upon arrival x

Very friendly place can’t do enough to help see lots of regular visitors

I haven't visited a Toby Carvery for quite a while. It was great to see that the food service & atmosphere was still very good.

I haven't been to the Toby Carvery in Worthing before, and I was really impressed with the whole experience. Our waitress Emma was really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, and the puddings were a great size. I will definitely be going back.

Really lovely staff, a warm welcome and attentive too Karen who served us was particularly nice and helpful. Highly recommend visiting

Food is great value for money. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. They make me feel at home. Always greeted with a smile.

Delicious hot food and a really helpful and friendly delivery person, thank you!

Sally was fab- from Charlotte too xox

Could have done with more potatoes and a bigger Yorkshire pudding

Ryan saved the day. I booked my son’s 15th birthday meal for 12 at the wrong place! When the boys turned up I could only book a table of 6 online. They made room for all them and saved the boys from a long walk home in the rain. Thanks for sorting it out.

Great food as always. Brilliant friendly service with good banter. Highly recommended. Great staff and great price.

I love a good toby carvery the staff are always happy and welcoming nothing is to much trouble for them , the carvers are always happy and very polite and also very helpful, I visit the Downlands toby carvery in Worthing West Sussex, and would like to say everyone is truly amazing up there 10 out 10 too all of them 👍👍👍👍👍

Awful overall First the restaurant was absolutely packed. We waited 20 minutes to be seated at our booked table Than we get to the carvery. There was food all over the sides of the serving area- disgusting. The beef was mostly fat- inedible We were seated at the back of the restaurant and our waitress constantly disappeared for ages. We asked to order deserts and she said she would be over, she went to three other tables and took their dessert orders first after she asked them if they needed anything else . When she finally came back to us we had had enough and left I understand it was busy. Over the cleanliness, poor quality food and serving staff let it down We won’t be returning, very disappointing.

Delivery time kept getting later and later when food finally arrived it was barely warm and had items missing

Friendly waitress and super roasts.

Great value with excellent table service, very polite and helpful. Car park was overflowing and a rather lengthy queue for the carvery but the kitchen team coped very well with the amount of covers going out.

Nice place to have a great meal very helpful staff I will go again Robert I just booked a meal at the Toby at Downlands in Worthing for Christmas day but the Flu beat me my friend Dacre just rang and told me they would do me a take away Brilliant staff thank you Robert

Brilliant carvery with great atmosphere. Much nicer than the 'norm'.

It was so busy but staff were a friendly and welcoming

Had the breakfast this time, brilliant value. Always friendly staff

Great service great food friendly staff

The staff are always welcoming and friendly, but the meal was spoilt by the beef being very faty and being wasted because of it. The restaurant needs major redecoration and Cleaning, especially the ceiling.

Not a very good welcome the food did not look very fresh scrambled eggs had to be booked at the desk no one told us that and many tables were not cleared look a right mess

All of the staff are friendly , polite , and helpful. The food is also excellent, plenty of it and good value

i was given totally the wrong order, contacted the restaurant, nothing could be done to replace order as they stopped food service. had to go hungry. hope who ever got my order enjoyed their meal, I could not eat yours as I can't eat pork....

Very lovely food, decent portions and great value for money. Staff are very friendly!

Sally our server in Worthing Downlands was so lovely and kind - thank you Sally!

We’re frequent visitors and love the carvery and the atmosphere. What you could improve on is more vegetables, ie onions in gravy, swede, sprouts etc.

all fine had pork and beef very nice

Hour and a half wait for a carvery.. didn’t bother.

Despite an early lunch, I was very disappointed that the food was barely warm and the plates were cold which meant our meals got cold very quickly. The service was reasonable but very slow. As it stands I'm not sure I will return. I appreciate the discounted meal, but I'd rather pay full price and enjoy my meal.

One of the better Tobys I've eaten at. Fill your plate and fill your tummy....yummy.

Terrible experience queued 30mins for half our party to be served with the remainder told there was no meat of our choice and would have to Que again for next serving.Another 30 min wait and by the time we returned the others had finished their main course .Rather defeated the point of a family roast .There was a hair in one of the dishes too.First time I’ve not left a tip

I expect your experience will depend a lot on the time you visit. We went on Friday early evening and despite booking a table it was not ready and this was the same for several others ahead of us. We got drinks in the bar and were called over so all well. Food was good value and service friendly and attentive. V busy.

Tasty food, friendly service and great value! Will definitely be back!

Great service, great food. Had the melt in the middle roast as I’m a vegetarian and it was lovely. Cheers

We stopped going a few years ago because the food was awful, but went recently as it was convenient and found the food very much had improved, been several times since and will be going again. Service each time has also been very good.

Considering how busy the Downlands have been this week. The quality of the food and the organisation and friendliness of staff has been fantastic. they all work incredibly well together. would highly recommend.

Beef and turkey not available and salmon almost invisible

We had a table booked for 4 at 6pm on Thursday 9th December. We got there 10 mins early and it was HEAVING - but they accommodated us with NO trouble. The waitress who took our order was really nice and friendly. We went to get our food and there was a big queue which moved really quickly - good when you have hungry bellies 🤪 The chef Tom was a delight! He interacted with every customer like they were the only people in the restaurant, was smiley, friendly and just a real treat to find someone like him working in the hospitality industry. Food was really nice, hot and fresh 👍 we even had room for a pud! Would definitely go back

Lovely day, great service, great food

Delicious hot food and friendly delivery thank you!

Very friendly and welcoming pub. The waitress was lovely and friendly. Food was just as great

Excellent service, really lovely food.

my food never arrived I want a refund please

Beautiful meal, everything was cooked to perfection. Staff were really busy but stayed totally calm, polite and smiling. The cost was was really good for the quality and quantity

hot and warm but the carrots bit hard mash and meats was very taste

Motorway service area. Very busy but ideal stop on way back south from Bolton.

Good traditional roast dinners. Plenty of food options to choose from. Service was very attentive for our large group. Definitely would recommend going

We visited for a pre-Christmas family get-together and had from the festive menu. The food and service were both excellent. We will definitely return.

Food was amazing and staff were friendly and welcoming. The area of the restaurant where we sat was cold.

Delicious hot food and friendly delivery thank you so much!

Very good but getting very expensive

Full of large groups talking and swearing loudly and no staff/management asked them to keep it down! Warning... if it's busy, don't take your kids.

This was a last minute decision for Sunday dinner, so I couldn't get a table in the restaurant as it was fully booked. However, a table in the bar was just fine. The food was up to its usual excellent standard, and the service was great.

My lunch never arrived. No one cared that as my friends ate their carveries, it had been an hour and mine was nowhere to be seen. I asked two people to check and they said “just going into the oven” but when my friends finished I said “can you cancel it” - I drove two hours to get there and this completely spoiled the day.

I ate most of it because I was hungry. The meat was warm not hot which is weird as they had just brought it out and it was so dry I couldn’t eat it all as I was struggling to swallow. This was not a nice meal.

Visited on a late Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant was packed. Quite a queue for the carvery with 4 roasts available. An abundance of veg & potatoes also available. Waiting staff extremely friendly as under a lot of pressure with the volume of customers.

Amazing bubble and squeak today compliments to the chef lovely and cheesy would totally recommend sorry can’t do photo as eating it too quickly A************

As always good food at brilliant prices 👌 Excellent service. What more do you want.

Totally agree it was gorgeous bubble and squeak today lovely and cheesy would recommend this?

Toby carvery good selection of meats and veg. Very tasty and cooked just right

We have eaten in many tobys and this is by far the best, cleanliness, staff, food ALL fantastic, it was very busy but you didn't have to wait, a big shout out to our waitress Nat, she was great,both my wife and I say if your passing try it, if your not try it anyway.

Food was good. I am particularly impressed with our server Sam, very patient when going through the allergies menu for my little girl. They have a good menu if you have egg and dairy allergies.

Superb value and delicious food. Tender meat and fresh veg. The staff are excellent too, very friendly and very chatty chefs too. Can’t fault the place. Been here several times and will return. Fantastic value for money. Thanks guys 👍👍👍

Sorry to say. Had not been for a while. I normally use goring. Found meat small portions even after going king size. Food was luke warm. Shame. Don't be put off might just be a bad day.

Food and atmosphere was smashing, came in with a table of 4 and Sally was lovely and very attentive to our needs. Definitely coming back in future.

Delicious hot food and friendly delivery thank you

Pleasant atmosphere, good food and good service and prices that will not break the bank.

nice size meal and pudding was so big will order again

Wrong order delivered restaurant not interested in replacing order

Did not expect to wait 45 minutes to be served for drinks. they tried to give us an extra drink and charge us for it even when we didn’t ask for it and did not drink it!! the service was simply a joke. i would recommend you do not come here to eat and try a different toby carvery

yet again more orders missing on delivery! don't know why I am surprised, never anyone's fault..

Despite it being a black Friday deal today and being incredibly busy, the service was excellent. Manager was very attentive and helpful, lovely waitresses checking on us if we needed anything and the food was superb. Lots of fresh veg cooked to perfection as always. I can honestly say this is the best carvery I have been to, highly recommended.

Food was great , but the service by the lady who greats you at the desk when you come in with blonde hair I found was rather rude . There was a member of staff that appeared next to here trying to help , the way she spoke to the staff memeber in front of me was appaling, she then walked of without even making eye contact or even saying come with me just walked towards the table so I follwed and said do you want me to come with you ? No reply she just walked off . First impression very poor service with attitude also lacking people skills , doesn't know how to speak to staff or customers On a postive my waitress who served me was a delight thoughtfull considerate and natural customer service thankyou to her

Friendly, clean and sprouts were done too perfection. Only improvement would be to the parsnips by making them honey glazed and making sure the large ones are cooked properly

Great service and excellent service..5 stars.

After a very early start this morning from Hythe Southampton with taxi bookings, it’s then onto Burgess Hill West Sussex for a return journey pickup at midday back to Brockenhurst, I decided to stop off at the Toby Carvery in Downlands Sompting for breakfast. I needed that in a relaxing atmosphere.

food was exactly as expected driver was prompt and polite

this was really tasty today. didn't include my pigs in blankets tho. I really wish there was an option to deselect mashed potatoes. would prefer more vegetables than more carbs

Food was stone cold and a whole meal and dessert was missing sadly, dont think it was down to anything untoward more than likely just left on the side as there were 5 gravies, so i think theyd intended to put the 5th meal in.

sally was brilliant!! delicious roast :)
