Toby carvery in Great Yarmouth

We used to love coming to this carvery. The food was good and the service great but the last few times we have come the food has gone down hill. Not only are the Yorkshire puddings small and flat like someone has sat on them, but the veg is dried up, especially the roast potatoes that are as hard as a rock. What happened to the beautiful soft roast potatoes you used to cook? The sliced potato dish was even worse. Totally dried up with none of the usual cheesy sauce. I tried adding gravy to soften the veg but this didn't work as the gravy was thin and totally tasteless. I think this is the first time I left a Toby Restaurant still hungry ! Has the chef changed? Or are you using a different supplier? It doesn't compare to the lovely meals we have at Shenstone when we visit our family.

My wife and I are staying next door and booked for a few meals.The carvers were very generous until Wednesday when a female carver was weighing the meat.This was the opposite to Sam the assistant manager who was carving and helping out when short staffed there are many organisations where you would find staff "lts not my job" and would not help out. The carver I appreciate is learning but you may find regular customers will not return if the carver is weighing the meat as it gives the impression that it is too much trouble and the customers will get what I give them and not a gram more than 150. Sadly you have Sam who was brilliant and encouraging customers and a new carver who is not customer friendly. I would like to congratulate Sam who is a credit to the carvery and is a top man.Sadly they were not short staffed and Sam was greeting you with a smile and making you feel welcome.Please pass my thanks to Sam and the waiting staff.Well done.

Delish food - fantastic Peoplies - friendly and Def going again - food was delicious - am a semi vegetarian - got the meat pangs - autumnal fuel required had three meat toasty with all the trimmings and visited the sea - LOVERLY - thank you Sam and Maria you were lovely 😍🌹 XO

Hi we were served and looked after by Kelly she was fantastic nothing to much trouble , brilliant waitress all our family were very impressed

Food was excellent and our waitress Kelly was amazing, with great customer service and will definitely be coming back.

Food was great as it always is when we're here on holiday only bad note is when I asked for scrambled egg for my daughter the chef replied "were very busy at the moment and you have to order them to be made " I...

food was brilliant and our waitress rojda was wonderful, very attentive and quick to bring us what we needed despite the busyness in the restaurant

Awful place no greeting on arrival long wait despite booking enormous queues for food as takeaway taking precedence only carrots and peas as vegetables no mash potatoes only grease swimming roast potatoes meat full of gristle beef inedible chef cutting meat in dirty overal and...

This place has loads of great potential. Quite a good meal (carvery) and very pleasant and hospitable service with a smile. My main concern was the presentation of the three serving cooks. Their white overalls were more than a little spattered (looked horrendous). I've been...

Awful the worst carvery we’ve ever had Will never return Fat meat frozen Yorkshire puddings Hard vegetables dish water gravy No flavour very disappointing

Lovely tasty lunch while on our way to caravan site.Had 2×carvery roast beef & turkey was cooked lovely melt in mouth,plenty of fresh veg/gravy/sauces.Hubby had the gammon Yorkshire wrap with side of roast potatoes & pigs in blanket(over priced at £3.49 for 5)but wrap itself...

Today I rang Captain Manby early as needed to book a comfortable, semi private table to meet family to discuss a sad problem over coffee and snacks. I cannot thank Ash enough for organising this. I was delayed because of an accident en route. Ash...

We had lunch here. It was really nice. We had the carvery. 4 choices of meat. The veg was really fresh and plentiful. Nice hot gravy The staff were very attentive especially Kelly, Ash and Sam.. They made us feel very welcome even though it...

Outstanding service from the time we walked in very efficient staff. The lady waitress who came to our table was very polite was served our drinks quickly and we had a carvery 10/10 for that too. We ordered takeaway desserts which were very nice too...

perfect experience, my waitress Robynne was beyond my expectations. Me and my friends have zero complaints about this place. 10/10 highly recommend

Me and my boyfriend visit here whenever we can, it’s a lovely place to eat and we have never had any problems. The staff are very friendly and they are also quite funny and really add to the experience, they also are quick to help...

Myself & a friend went to CAPT.MANBYS in GORLESTON this evening for a birthday meal. I had roast lamb & my friend had roast turkey in with the usual selection of veg on offer. I was given a HUGE portion of superb roast lamb cooked...

Love it here! Staff are very friendly and food is relatively cheap. There’s often discounts online I manage to get my hands on as well. I have had waitress Kelly a few times upon visiting and she is just amazing. So attentive and she remembers...

Absolutely fantastic value for money Sunday carvery. Amazing choice of 5 roast meats, huge Yorkshire pudding, unlimited vegetables. So much choice and the refillable soft drinks are great. Will certainly be back again.

We decided to go to Tobys carvery last week well wasn’t disappointed 3 of us had carvery I had a club sandwich all amazing ! The waiter Alex took us to our table and got our drinks didn’t hassle us to order quickly either which...

Friends & I tend to visit a couple of times a year, very helpful staff, great food it never disappoints

The glasses were dirty no cutlery or plates no food out or sauce ask staff but took ages no cereal out no plates for toast definitely will not return or recommend the worst place I have ever had breakfast……..

The meal was great. Can't fault it. The cost is ridiculous adding on £15pouuds for vat. Made the meal £18 per person no dessert.I won't be going back. Shame because meal was great.

We travel just over 50 miles to eat. Greeted by a friendly waitress who handed us over to the manager( friendly nice guy) who booked us in. Requested a quiet table upon booking and this was arranged smoothly. Roast was very good and plentiful. Always...

Having stayed next door at the Travel lodge we decided to walk across and have our evening meal here, the car park looked really busy but when we asked for a table we were given on straight away. We decided on a carvery and the...

£5.49 for all you can eat breakfast sounds as though it will be awful but it wasn’t. Lots of choice and not bad quality. We were really surprised and will return. Only scrambled eggs which I didn’t care for and no fried eggs but we...

We came here for breakfast on Friday in the middle of a stressful work morning. Came in the door and was greeted by a lovely manager called ash. Ash sat us where we wanted to sit (as it was quiet) and told us what to...

I was a bit worried about what to expect because of the mixed reviews. Couldn’t fault the place. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The carvery was superb. My husband had the king for an extra £1.99 which was so worth it if you’re a...

I absolutely love the Toby Captain Manby and have never had a bad meal there until yesterday. We decided to have a birthday breakfast there and it was not great. No eggs, plates were cold, some of the food was luke warm, the mushrooms had...

Lovely food, lovely staff, a great meal. Nothing negative to say, will return soon. Thanks to Laura for looking after us so well.

Meal would have been lovely if was not served lukewarm and on cold plates. Plus, pet hate of mine empty salt and pepper pots on table so food cold by the time salt was obtained, pepper gave up on. Friendly welcome on entering and staff...

Went to the Captain Manby last night and had a wonderful carvery. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The staff were very attentive. Our waitress last night was Laura and she made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The prices...

Historic regular visitors for years, tried last year not a great experience, thought we’d see if anything had changed. Pre booked a table, booking nice and easy online. Sat at table for 15 mins before we were able to order drinks, which then took 20...

went to this carvey all went well until i was overcharged my bill said some thing but was charged differently but what dissapointed or up set me the most is the manner it was delt with as i had no right to complain the managers...

This is my favorite place to eat out, I don’t go anywhere else. The service is always spot on, really respectful and polite staff, always there if you are in need. Very friendly and lovely atmosphere.

Amazing service from staff and amazing food as always couldn’t fault it in any way would highly recommend it

So good to return after nearly three years Great service and excellent food, such good value and choice

Came to Toby Carvery for a breakfast last week using a voucher that we had. We wanted to give it another chance after some bad experiences in the past. This time it was somehow even worse! First off they didn't even have what was listed...

Poor service. Waited 25 minutes for no one to serve us and customers very vulgar with children present. Workers standing around chatting loudly about personal(sexual) relations in the workplace next to customers while they were being ignored!

Rude manager that said I am dictating when I said I wasn’t going to pay for a breakfast. I explained it’s a customers right not too if not satisfactory. The chef was complaining and the food was cold and sausages anaemic. Not attentive at all...

Came into Toby Carvery yesterday , kelly was our waitress , she was fantastic and made us feel really welcome . Best waitress there

We got here at the opening time of 9am and the food was already cold. That’s quite an achievement!! No ketchup. No butter. Jam to share. No thanks. No other condiments for toast. Gone down hill. Where’s the little tubs of jam, marmalade, Nutella and...

Lovely Carvery plenty of meat and a great selection of vegetables. Good service fantastic value will come again

I'm always a bit sceptical visiting carveries as the food can be akin to that of a poorly run school kitchen. Today however I am more than pleased to congratulate both staff and fare both being excellent. The roast beef cooked to perfection ,when asking...

Went for breakfast this morning, food was piping hot, fresh and delish. Will definitely come back again. Service was spot on. Thanks Alex & Ellen 😁

Sunday evening carvery was absolutely rubbish no yourkshires no mint sauce dauphonaise potato was nearly empty and didn’t get refilled ordered pigs in blanket and they came after we had already eaten half our meal very poor food for the money defo won’t be visiting...

Not the best experience. Cauliflower Cheese was raw and cold, other vegetable were cold as was the stuffing even thought it had just been added to the pass. I had the beef which was inedible, impossible to cut and full of gristle. My husband has...

Probably the best carvery we've ever had. Table booking easy online, service was impeccable and very quick - thank you Emma. Food was ample and very, very tasty. Would thoroughly recommend this venue if you're in the vicinity.

Came for breakfast missing items sold out of mushrooms,eggs inedible, hash browns soggy not cooked. Run out of tomatoes. Bacon anaemic all soaking in excessive oil. Asked staff about food items.s didn't come back to me. Pot of tea came, no spoon or milk given....

Excellent food and service. Would recommend to locals and holidaymakers. Well maintained gardens and interior.

Our last visit was years ago and wasn’t a good experience. Decided to try again on the spur of the moment and went for a breakfast. Food was pretty decent, sausages being the best item. The potatoes and hash browns were very light coloured but...

Great service. Quickly served with drinks. The carvey had a good selection of vegetables and sides. Good selection of four meats to choose from. Also good price of meal, As a Blue Light card holder also get a discount too.

On holiday nearby and booked here for a 5.30pm slot. Very very busy, but we weren't expecting to queue for 20 minutes with a very hungry toddler. Very difficult to queue with a crying hungry little one and queue very slow.

As a regular visitor to Toby, I was surprised and disappointed by the Captain Manby. We were early for lunch so decided to have a drink, the glasses given were disgustingly dirty; a visit to the bar and the second set were even worse. The...

We had made a breakfast booking online for Wednesday 31st August at 10am. We arrived at Toby carvery that morning to find it closed with a sign on the door saying they are closed for breakfast until 4/9/22!!! Not a call or an email to...

Visited last night … I’m old enough to remember when Toby Carveries were elite…. Good stuff - Staff always pleasant despite being busy :) Queue moves at a good pace. Bottomless drink option. Ice cream sundaes are good. Kids love It. Not so good stuff...

We visited this place for tea. It’s connected to the Travelodge so ideal place to eat if you’re staying there. We did book in advance and it was busy. Service was excellent and friendly. Queuing area was quite small for the carvery but the food...

Calvary ok breakfast poor lack of quality and selection. The job interview process must be can you be rude,inattentive, grumpy with a bad attitude…. Yes…. When can you start…

abs a no no dirty, but staff friendly, toilet terrible grafitti toilet doors, under table last persons dinner , Cauliflower Peasand potatoes on my new trainers, couldnt stay for anything else left. (Carvery area way too small for the amount of people queing )

Don't go mid afternoon... Food not fresh at all. Meat also incredibly fatty. Overpriced too for the quality.

New to the area and needed food after a hard days diy so ordered a Carvery to be delivered and the portions were HUGE! Ordering was simple, delivery very fast and the food was hot. Very happy thankyou

My friend and I met here for a catch up on 10th Aug . Morgon was serving tables etc . He was absolutely lovely and attentive. He was accommodating and although run of his feet always approached us with a smile and humour. He made...

Absolutely dreadful, on arrival we were greeted by over flowing rubbish bins, this set the scene for inside. We enjoyed dirty tables and menus, didn’t want to touch them. It was difficult to find cleans plates for the very limited breakfast. Fried food only, no...

Went in, the garden was a mess glasses out on every table (they were still there when we left 2 hours later.) After getting in, we were greeted by a man who had his shirt half tucked in. We sat at our table and thr...

called in whilst we were on holiday really lovely meals and well worth the money, staff very polite and helpfull

Not enough staff, walked over from paget to grab a breakfast at 10.30 with a 45 minute wait so thought that would’ve been plenty of time. Long queue, ignored by staff for over 20 minutes then finally to be told it was a 15 minute...

Extremely busy and although we had a table booked we had to wait but boy was it worth the wait, everything was so fresh and gorgeous. Definitely a must visit when In Great Yarmouth!

Went for breakfast waited and waited for food to come out, when it did there wasn’t much to choose from and was very undercooked. I really wouldn’t feed my dog that, stay away

Had a very nice meal at Toby carvery the other day with the family! Great food, and great price. We will be back! And ready to do it all again

First time visiting a Toby Carvery, we were a bit confused as to how to go about it as we entered through the fire door at the side, so were not greeted by anyone at the entrance, but soon found someone who seated us and...

Nice food and good value. Toilets are lovely and clean. Staff are fab and James on the hot food counter made a real effort with my SEN child.

Ignorant waitress!!!! Very rude, we were seated at a table smaller than a childs school desk, pathetic!!!!

1st time back since covid I must say has improved 100% had the unlimited breakfast food was hot and very tasty waiter Alex was very friendly and helpful an acett to the company will definitely return again

Had Kelly as our waitress and she was amazing! So sweet and handled the busy restaurant so well. Food was great

Alex is amazing, his service was impeccable and his manners showed what the company represents. The food was amazing and so tasty. Thank you to Alex and the chefs for making this experience so enjoyable

Went here as a family , Cannot fault the service, politeness of staff , However my meat was rather fatty which is rare , as go here twice a year on holiday .Will go back did complain to head office but no reply suitable said...

We are repeat-eaters at this restaurant, both for carveries and also the odd breakfast. We have never been disappointed! Different carving knives and forks used for the different meats, the meats are always freshly cooked due to the high turn-around and nothing is too much...

We are unable to take this complaint to or leave feedback on the Toby Carvery website as the page links are blank? wonder why??? My wife and I stayed at Gorleston Yarmouth Travelodge and decided to have Sunday lunch at the Toby Carvery next door,...

Chef extremely rude and put me in an awkward and embarrassing situation in front of my children and other guests whilst on holiday as a single parent. Despite clearly seeing I was upset by what had happened other staff did not acknowledge me. Left my...

Came here a few weeks ago with my friends, just for an afternoon of good food and was. It disappointed. Your server (I think her name was Laura) was brilliant as well. Funny and down to earth with all of us. Nothing was too much...

Our second visit here in as many months, the selection of vegetables was hugely improved on our last visit. I didn't have to wait too long for my pie and the carvery queue went quickly. The carvery staff were amusing and chatty which seems to...

£12.99 for a carvery where the meat portions are small and fatty and the veg choice poor is not really acceptable in this day and age where supposedly wanting to please the customer should be at the forefront

We love this particular Toby Carvery Captain Manby, really nice feeling restaurant, friendly competent staff and the food is always top notch. It’s the only place I will eat turkey! It just melts in the mouth and the gravy is fab. We always go when...

We love the Carvery at Toby, and the staff are always friendly. Lovely atmosphere too, and lovely and clean.

Had a short break and ate saturday night dinner here. Booked on line, which was simple and quick. The food was lovely and Lilli who looked after us was the best waitress/server we've had in years, a complete credit to the restaurant. Great to have...
