Toby Carvery in Redbridge

Decent carvery, had they beef because I don't buy for myself often. It was pretty good. Fair price, decent service. Treated my wife's cousin who was visiting from overseas who enjoyed.

6 of us went to woodford carvery today and waited and waited for the meat to be cut for us all..why because they were to busy seeing to takeaway orders .so a long queue im 76 and gave up and went back to table and waited for queue to go down..also food had spilled out of the veg dishes where you serve yourself..and stuffing was horrendous and stuck to the spoon...not as good as other carveries...stop or do something with the takeaway orders ...not fair on people who have booked a table..

Delicious, large portions, I recommend. Don't forget to pour sauce over everything ❤️

I was served a delicious Sunday roast with a great variety of meats, vegetables, and sides, which was enjoyed by myself and my family. However, the cleanliness could use attention, especially during busy times, to make the dining experience more comfortable and enjoyable

My first time at Toby Carvery and I was not disappointed. The price is extremely reasonable and the servings were huge. Well, you can have as much side dishes as you like. My plate will full. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. Would definitely recommend 5 minutes after posting this review, I went to the Ladies and unfortunately what I saw was utter disgusting. The toilets do not appear to be cleaned regularly and I literally wanted to throw up. This is such a shame because the meal was good. I’ve changed the overall score from a 5 to a 3.

AVOID AT ALL COST !!! So disappointing, went with my Family for Sunday breakfast, Came just after the place opened, even asked the waiter why is so quiet and he said we just opened. All Food was COLD , EGGS BLACK BURNED, even the beans and tomato's were barley warm. Black pudding hard and cold , I asked waiter if there is more food coming as there was not much there and it all was cold , so he said, YES ofcourse. We waited for over hour , 4 cold burnt sausages still sitting there , no fresh or hot food was added So disappointing paid £35 and left hungry . Only thing I ate was jam on toast , so did my daughters. My husband didn't touch any food and asked for a refund got Hand full of very small coins ,no one said sorry , so unprofessional. Defenetly never coming back there .

Pleasant friendly place with great food at a reasonable price

Had a lovely night at Woodford the other night, all thanks to Louis really made our night after a get together after so long, spoke about the refurbishment you were getting in January, no better place that deserves a touch up and abit of love. staff always so lovely too. Great service and amazing food {thanks to the kitchen} compliments to the chefs :) 5*****

Been there a few times for a roast dinner ,very good tasty food ,friendly staffs

Really Nice place to have English food. Liked their Beef roast a lot

The food wasn’t at all nice, lot of it was uncooked but the service we got from one of the nicest waiters made up for it, Louis. Such a pleasant and lovely guy saved the day!

We have been coming here for quite some time now. Jamie has been serving us lately and has been very positive and polite.

Excellent friendly service with a really tasty carvery!

Stopped off for a bite to eat, food was nice. Lovely service.

Went yesterday and fantastic everything was hot and nice

Quickly seated, excellent service by Fiona, decent carvery.

We enjoyed our breakfast. We like we can pop in and breakfast buffet is hot and food is cooked well. The staff were welcoming and helpful. A pleasant relaxed breakfast with friends without having to clear up.

I visited for breakfast, always warm and plenty to choose from. Food is good for the price. The staff here are very attentive and keep the place tidy when I’ve visited. Overall a very nice place to eat and drink.

I enjoyed the food but we had to wait over half an hour for our table despite booking and being told they were running just 10 mins behind

Great food, great staff Stella our waitress was very helpful, attentive and kind thank you :)

Jodie was an amazing waitress. The food came quickly and was very tasty. The kids especially enjoyed ice cream for dessert.

As being regular visitors we have noticed changes and we observe that the quality of the meet has greatly improved . 6 months ago the beef it was inedible being thick with gristle. It was noted with great relief yesterday that there was hardly any gristle . Well done.

Very slow service. Food at carvery was not warm enough, well below legal limit I'm afraid. Ordered a meal from menu which took 45 minutes and a couple of reminders to arrive and immediately sent back and cancelled as not cooked and lukecwarm. Will not be going back to that one again.

Went here one Friday (4/10/24) with a group of friends, the staff were all lovely, there was a wide variety of food available where you get the carvery which were all very delicious honestly 10 outa 10 would recommend

Great service, regularly visit here and the team are so friendly, you can’t go wrong with a carvery

Really enjoyed it here the staff are so nice and food was great! Feels very warm and friendly in there. Just popped in on off chance but it was lovely

I phoned the carvery and told them I don't have cauliflower cheese and they were going to give me cabbage instead plus I said no Yorkshire pudding. My order has arrived and contains cauliflower cheese & a Yorkshire pudding no cabbage, so can't eat my meal because of the cheese, what a complete waste of money and no lunch today.

I wish they would get an order right! I ordered Kingsize but received a normal size! They did however not add beans like I requested so happy about that they still sent in tubs even though I said not required but at least not all over the food.

Sophie was amazing, loved her service. Will definitely go again.

Totally not happy with order food:( Quality:(

Shout out to Disha for being a wonderful server. Thank you all for a wonderful experience today. Amazing food and drink, all reasonable price and great atmosphere. 10/10 recommend coming here 🔥🙏

We were looked after by Deesha who was superb. As always great food at at a reasonable price!

Portion size is massive from here! Food was really nice and was hot. Really enjoyed it

Overall, it was an okay experience. The vibe was cosy and family-friendly, and the waitress was very accommodating and helpful. Unfortunately, the Sunday carvery was mostly dry and lacked flavour. I judge a roast primarily on how well done its potatoes are, and these ones were undercooked and more boiled than roasted.

Love this carvery. Staff at this place are all so nice and nothing is too much. Our waitress was Deesha (not sure on spelling) My mum ordered a vegetarian menu and was concerned about the veg being near the meat (its not but she worries about that) so they bought out steamed veg from the kitchen to go with her vegetarian pie. Considering this is a buffet restaurant they were very kind to bring it all out to her including gravy. The rest of us had the meat carvery which was very nice with a great choice of meats and vegetables. My 6 year old is obsessed with the refillable drinks machine and they don't mind him having a squirt of one of each drink in one glass (he's making his potion drink :) Desserts were also very nice with good range/choice. Just overall great atmosphere, restaurant is nice bright and clean. Staff all very cheery and nice people. Would 10/10 recommend.

The staff are really friendly. And the food was fresh and very tasty. The restaurant was very comforting.

Everything fine, food and delivery, thankyou.

Great service by Deesha as always !!

Grim place. Rude waitress, awful policies (such as not being able to share a carvery meal). My friends had eaten a large meal for breakfast and didn't want much to eat. We were planning to share a plate of carvery dinner and it was not allowed. We asked if we could just order some sides like chips, but they don't do that on Sundays. Okay... can we just order some kids menu items? No. Not allowed. In the end we cancelled all our carveries and had ice cream sundaes, ironically costing them about £30 of business. The sundae was about on par with a mcflurry. It's no wonder we didn't have trouble finding a table at 2pm on a Sunday without a reservation.

I arrived at the venue without a booking. I was immediately told that there could be problems with seating, however, when we were seated the place was only getting emptier. The waitress was not nice, After I cancelled my roast order because I wasn't hungry she kept returning and verbally forcing us to order when I wasn't hungry. The kids menu food wasn't plated as displayed on the menu. There seemed to be a big problem to order a small bowl of chips, something that is normal in most diners. Just before paying she was trying to be nice, but this manipulative behaviour wouldn't pass.

Lots of empty tables but got told they could not serve us as a steamer had broken! But other people who had booked online could be seated & served very poor!!

We called in whilst passing through Woodford, and found a pleasant surprise, a homely atmosphere, snug feeling, the Young man James who served us and showed us to our table was pleasant, confident and very much at ease, when collecting the food Louise the chef was terrific, carving the meats to our satisfaction, smiling and friendly, altogether an excellent experience, we will now call in again, well done , you did Toby proud

Deesha was a fantastic waitress. Great food as always. Thank you

Can you mini gravy boats for the tables? We could fill them up at the station.

Sophie wonderful waitress welcoming and friendly make having a roast just like home will come again!! She is amazing efficient and just genuinely a nice person she is always so friendly and is amazing at her job she makes that place will come again to see her still the same after one year Sophie is amazing

The food didnt taste fresh very hard to eat!!

I usually go to the Snaresbrook one but went to this one for some reason. I prefer Snaresbrook. Food isn't as good at Woodford. It's cooked better at Snaresbrook. Dry roast potatoes aswell. They're supposed to be in beef dripping but barely had any on them. The blonde lady server at the food was really nice. The guy on the front was ignorant. He ignored me when I said hello and was leant over on the tablet thing. Then he spoke to another member of staff who came over a few seconds later, but I thought he was saying hi to me, so I said hi, I've booked a table. He then ignored me again and carried on talking to the other member. Then, when the other staff member left , he decided it was my turn to have his attention. The girl that was attending to us was alright, no complaints about her.

the gravy lid was not secured and gravy had come out all over the bottom of the bag very poor

Disha was very friendly and always checking that everything was okay .

We had another great visit to the Toby in Woodford today (07/09/24). As always the staff are really friendly (particularly Jill who we have built a lovely relationship with over the years who is exceptional with her kind and caring customer service) and great food served by the lovely friendly chef. Always a pleasure to visit, look forward to next time!

Deesha was very friendly and extremely diligent at her job. The food was tasty and the experience was great 👍

Went for lunch midweek. Very quiet in the restaurant, but staff lovely and kind. Food standard toby, but lovely as always. Quick service and nice food at a decent price. Can't get better than that!

Friendly attentive staff namely Jill, Donna and chef Louise. Food was hot, cooked to perfection, plentiful and so very tasty. This is now our favourite place to eat.

I regularly come here for lunch with a couple of friends and the food and service is always very good. A particular thanks to our server, Jill, and carvery chef, Louise, who are always friendly, chatty, and accommodating.

We really enjoy our visits to Toby, and often go as everything is just great at Toby, Woodford. Last night was extremely quiet, which surprised us but as per usual we were made to feel very welcome and our custom appreciated. We always arrive early for a beer before dinner and the quality of the pints in your bar are very good. The food was hot and a great range of vegetables available. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff to ensure our meal and overall experience was excellent and memorable for all the right reasons.

Great carvery and place to eat thank you

Deesha was very helpful and lovely brilliant service from her

Myself and family visited here yesterday and was firstly greeted by a very nice young lady at the door and a gentlemen. Both were extremely polite and courteous. We were shown to our booth and then assisted by a young waitress called Maddie! Wow, what a lovely individual!! Maddie was so attentive to all members of my family, especially my 4 year old daughter. Maddie assisted us with everything we needed and more. Thank you Maddie for a wonderful experience!!

Anyone would think I ordered a meat free carvery with the amount of meat that was given!

I will never go to this carvery ever again..food was disgusting,hard carrots hard turnip hard mash lumpy gravy,hard coliflower dried out mac n cheese.when I asked for the bill they tried to charge me for food I didn’t eat when I complained to waitress she didn’t even grunt at me so I refused to pay.best thing about this meal was my Diet Coke..never again staff were not welcoming at all were quite rude tbh.never again..I will stick to the best carvery around…BUCKHURST HILL!!

I've been here many times and aways friendly and attentive waitresses. Very good food especially lamb at weekends. Apple pie with custard is extremely good.

Fabulous: service super value for money. Thanks

The carvery at this Toby is very nice, the food is always really tasty, there’s always a warm welcome from the staff, the atmosphere is good, every time we come into the restaurant it’s quite busy, and a busy restaurant means a good restaurant. The staff are very nice especially Jill who serves us quite a lot, she is interested in her customers, remembers things about her customers and is a really good member of the team

Good experience. Locally the best Toby I've been to. Staff deserve 5 stars alone. Chef really friendly, Donna very friendly, efficient.

For a first visit I would not return, options were very limited, you'd think they were getting ready to close not still open for another 1.5/2 hours. If an establishment feels options are poor as its past 8 o clock anyone wanting a carvery should be told to look at the options before sitting down ordering drinks and then having to get up and leave immediately as the food choices were not much at all. If I'm paying full price, I'd expect a decent amount of what I'm paying for to be available. Then pay for our drinks that we would not have ordered if we knew we weren't going to eat and go elsewhere.

Excellent customer services and delicious food.

Lovely relaxing roast lunch. Plenty of vegetarian options too.

It does what it says on the tin...😋 Friendly, professional staff and service 👍🏾

Good honest food at really good prices. Lovely family pub with bear garden, plenty of parking.

Good Sunday Roast. We both had the large plate with all meats: turkey, gammon, roast pork and beef. The crackling was super crunchy (+salty) and sides were delicious too. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Would be back again. All in all this was good value for money and we were stuffed!

First class service deesha treated me like a princess

Loved our server Deesha great work mate

Service was lovely servers name was deesha Great attitude towards her job

The place was very clean, music was nice and at a good volume. The service was great, a big thank you to Vicky, our server!

Took my aunt and uncle for lunch. Jill was very friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and very reasonably priced. Great experience. The young man carving the meat was very good too. Thankyou.

The meal arrived cold and in a bowl resembling left over that you’d give to a dog. The extra baked potatoes arrived in a bag, 4 small pieces of potato’s burnt and dry, inedible. A total waste of money. I will never order from them again. Horrible experience.

Great place for a family dinner. Nice, quite restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. Big choice of wines and spirits. Highly recommended.

I've been in a few tobys and I must say this was definitely not one of the best it was extremely empty and the food look like it had been left out quite some time the decks hadn't been cleared away and brought out fresh everything was quite cold I was going to complain at the time but I had a very long day and just needed to get back home

My waitress was a lovely lady called Donna, made me feel welcome and comfortable. Food was also great!

I was welcomed by a lovely lady called Donna who was really attentive and professional, food was good but Donna made the experience brilliant.

Good food and service. Also a good venue for cosy meetings

Crikey expensive for 2 meals and 2 drinks! £34 !!!!! Won’t be going there again

Always welcomed greeted and seated by Ben the manager, excellent service and very attentive as always from our favourite waitress Donna goes above and beyond excellent food to complement the service

really polite delivery driver, fab food

As you'd expect, good quality roast with a special mention to the beef dripping potatoes.

amazing food please keep up with this standard thank you

Excellebt value tasty food relaxing atmosohere great choice

Donna was really chatty and personable

Never been to Toby at Woodford befoand Service was brilliant. Even though it was busy .the lady serving us was so nice and polite. Will definitely go there again. The food was great best Toby I've been to well done Toby. 5 stars.

The carvery was fantastic love it

No complaints from me. A very enjoyable meal with very attentive waitress.

Not enough gravy. Cauliflower and a couple of roast potatoes werent cooked on each dinner i ordered

Great portions of meat, no skimping here. Nice people working there, very helpful.

Great night out with great traditional food

Deesha Lall was a really lovely server/waitress. Genuinely a breath of Fresh Air for a Toby sometimes it's sit you down and get someone miserable but she was great and actually made me want to come back. Food was delicious too and was really helpful when it came to helping one of us who had a Gluten Intolerance

Usual Toby Carvery fayre, great staff and funny head chef. Definitely coming again.

Good food very polite and helpful staff nice atmosphere 😎

Delicious food, a variety of food on the menu for everyone (vegetarian, lamb, chicken, pork), quick service, value for money, ambiance is nice, huge parking, kid-friendly and wheel chair accessibility.

food was awful, and old pre prepared and microwaved meal of congealed cold fat- seriously bad

I ordered a breakfast. If you want cheap over quality this is ideal, you could tell that the sausages were cheap. bacon was nice, eggs were fried and greasy. I did not like the way that everything was thrown in together in the small container including the beans and tomatoes so that when it went on your plate it was a big mush. Would not order again.
