Lovely service and great food. Our waitress was amelie and she was wonderful 10/10 service. As i was gluten free she made my experience amazing. The service was great. The food selection was fantastic. Would 100% recommend.

I didn't think anything was great. The only good thing was the drinks which was a bottle of wine hard to get wrong and 2 refillable soft drinks to which the ice machine wasn't working so that wasn't even right.

Located on the outskirts of town, with ample parking, although don't forget to log your number plate when visiting. Arrived as lunch was just being served, all food fresh and ample, with a good selection of meats and vegetables. Staff super friendly and helpful, and I had issues with WiFi, but they were understanding about this. Toilet facilities upstairs, however disabled toilet facilities are available on the ground floor.

AVOID. Parked in the Toby carvery car park at 18:00. Decided it was too busy and we wanted to go somewhere else. So we left the car park at 18:20. Turns out I’ve been charged £100 parking fine for being in the car park for 20 minutes. Defiantly won’t be going anywhere near this place again.

The food was average. The service was the worst I'd ever had. The staff seemed too busy in their own dramas to do their jobs. We were stood at the carving station for over 5 minutes waiting for someone to serve us to find out from the staff walking by that the member of staff carving was outside having a spliff. By the time he came out he has a very rude demeanor and gave us next to nothing meat wise. Even though we ordered our drinks before we went up to get our meal the drinks didn't arrive until near the end of eating our meal as again the staff were too interested in their dramas. The bill took 15 minutes to come and by this point we were tempted to just walk out. This is the first and last time we will ever be coming

On this occasion very poorly. We were looking for a hot drink and a "snack". The beef ( other fillings available) in a Yorkshire pudding wrap sounded good so we ordered it. We were told there would be a short wait whilst it was cooked which was fine. However, an hour or so later having been told on at least four occasions that it would be "ten minutes" we left without having received our food. The staff were polite and apologetic but seemingly unable to deliver our simple order.

I was not expecting to get fined for parking in a pub car park but that's exactly what happened. £100. I didn't see any signs and none of the staff bothered to mention it when I ordered a meal. Update: After explaining my circumstances to the manageress of Toby Carvery I would like to thank her for confirming my attendance and cancelling my parking fine.

WARNING!!! EURO CAR PARK SCAM!! The car park is for Toby Carvery customers only. We have received a fine from Euro Car Parks for parking there for one hour and a half so my daughter could have a rest as she was tired from driving. I acknowledge that we did not eat at the Toby Carvery, my issue is with the signage, neither of us saw any signs for the car park stating that there were fines for parking there if you were not a customer of Toby Carvery, the way it is laid out it looks like you can park anywhere in that area for any of the amenities within that area. We do not know the area well as we were out for the day, but had we known the car park was not available for us to use then we would not have used it. I am very angry with Toby Carvery as this was NOT made clear. I have called and spoken to them today and they insist there is signage stating fines will be issued for non Toby Carvery customers, but we did not see any and its a bit of a trek to go back and double check for ourselves (we are 133 miles away). Really poor show Toby Carvery for a young driver trying to do the right thing and stay safe by taking a break!!!

Really bad service, you find out after you get your food you needed to order veggie stuff beforehand. Drinks were extra and felt like they were made from their own brand powdered sachets available in many low end bargain stores. Not a great experience.

We have been to Toby Carvery numerous tike throughout the past 4 years, and the customer service and quality is getting worse. Today we entered, there was clearly not enough staff for the customers or tables. We did not receive any drinks throughout the duration, there was even a wasp in my food! Half the meats werent available (ran out or not ready), there was little gravy (cold). Not great. Toby you need to review your Staff management as this is getting bad now.

DO NOT PARK HERE. £100 FINE. This is not a comment on the quality of the restaurant but the sneaky parking policy. This has changed in recent months and whilst there are claims that signage is here it should say in big red letters that if you are not going into the carvery, you will get fined to park here. Typically signs would just state a maximum stay at services like this and the fact that such a punitive fine has been placed immediately is disgraceful.

standards had improved since our last visit 12 months ago. We used to visit on a regular basis, but stopped after several episodes of ill-prepared food, items not available, toaster not working & staff rudeness. We will now resume our visits, although we were surprised by the increase in price. Our numbers vary from 10 to 15 but we always book in advance.

Tried this place again this year .. big mistake the food was worse than last time. Yorkshire puddings was like flakey pastry the roast potatoes were black and dry. And the only choice of meat was fatty beef or dried out by the heat lamps turkey, and that was after waiting 10 minutes to be served. The rest of the vegetable I would sore 3 out of 10 for being there. Won't mention the cauliflower cheese 🥴😁😁
Andrea New . 2024-10-22

Recommendation from me is don't bother. Roast potatoes were more like over cooked jacket spuds, veg was either withered and dry from sitting under the lights for too long or over done and watery. The meat was OK apart from the beef which was more like Jerky and the once famous gravy which used to be beefy and flavoursome looked more like plum jam and was of non-descript flavour. As for the macaroni cheese this didn't involve cheese just bouncy macaroni encased in silicon sealant but less tasty. Completely underwhelmed and not worth the £60 price tag. Will not be returning any time soon.

**Review: Toby Carvery – Disappointed with the Parking Fine** I recently visited Toby Carvery and, while the meal was fine, I was shocked to receive a parking fine from Euro Car Parks shortly afterward. It turns out I was supposed to register my car upon arrival, but I wasn’t prompted by the staff or given any clear direction about this. Who expects private parking at a service station, especially when the car park was empty? It’s obvious that non-customers weren’t using it, so I don’t understand the need for this system. I understand they will likely respond with “we have signage,” but that’s not enough. When the car park isn’t busy, and you’re there to dine, being stung with a fine afterward leaves a bad taste. The experience has really soured what should’ve been a pleasant visit. Toby Carvery, please do better in communicating this to your customers upfront!

I have nothing positive to say. There is a Harvester on the other side of the estate. This place has destroyed Toby carveries for my partner and I. Some are better than others, but this was quite probably the worst to date. Plenty of parking... and numerous other places to eat.

My first visit to Toby’s and I will surely return. A friend called by and we went to find a bite to eat locally, so we tried Toby’s. The welcome was friendly, we were reminded to put our car details into the tablet on the desk to avoid a parking fine and were lead to a table. The restaurant was very busy and although the table was spotlessly clean, there were several splashes of dried up sticky coke on the seat, but that was the only negative. We decided to go for the roast and whilst we chose between turkey, gammon, beef or vegetarian option, 3 types of potatoes, 5 veg, macaroni cheese, gravy, four condiments and of course a large Yorkshire Pudding, our drinks arrived. The food was a good temperature and everything was delicious and portion sizes generous with an option to upsize the meal. We decided the normal size was more than enough and did not even have space to go back for more unlimited veg and gravy. For dessert I had the tasty toffee apple crumble with custard and my friend a sundae. All in all a very successful outing and another place where all the staff we encountered were competent, polite and helpful. We will certainly be back. Thank you.

Worst dining experience ever! We prebooked a table the day before, arrived and there was no seating available (queuing out the door). The carvery counter had spilled food all over the floor in front - slip hazard, ran out of beef and lamb by 18:45! No condiments (mint sauce, horse radish or apple sauce. The Brussels sprouts tasted frozen. We complained to the manager, in fairness, we were refunded the value of the food and paid for our drinks. I know Toby is aimed at a 'budget' clientele, however there are still expected standards when dining out. We only chose to go here because it is walking distance from home - I'll drive the 15 minutes next time for a better dining experience.

I was visiting the area for work over the week and was recommended the Toby at Amesbury for a wholesome value for money dinner. It didn't disappoint. The food was plentiful, piping hot and filling. We were made to feel more than welcome by the friendly staff, even though you could see they were busy. I recommend the Toby, and when in the area again I will be revisiting.

Even though we had booked a table for 8 we still had ro join the queue which was so long it was out the door ,once we got seated we waited for someone to come to the table for soo long we just got up and got our food .We had nearly finished eating when a lad asked us to move so they could have the table ,we said we wernt yet finished .After another 15 mins we had to go and find someone to tell them what we had eaten so we could pay then there was no signal for the card machine so we sat for another 15 mins whilst one of us walked round with the waitress till she got a signal ,we finished up having to pay at the bar ,another queue. We could have quite easily walked out without paying nobody would have noticed and iwould have been over £100 better off ,due to the lack of service I wonder how many actually do.Very Very poor service and no organisation

We visited on Thursday afternoon with a booking. We arrived a little early but Jess (more on her later) had no issue with that. We got to out seat and was asking about what plates we'd like, any allergies and drink orders. While we were up at the counter, our drinks arrived at the table The food was good. All hot and tasty. The gammon was a little but crumbly and dry but once dehydrated with gravy it was better. Veg was great though. Our waitress Jess was superb. So friendly and joyfully - seems so happy with her job. She spoke with a positive chirp and a lovely smile. She was the one who asked about food and drink and allergies. Thank you Jess

Me and my family we decided to have an amazing dinner on Tuesday 1st of October at Toby as we always has especially because my parents came over to visit us. Unfortunately the evening was ruined by the only male waiter (I believe his name was Bailey). The first contact was absolutely negative when me and my wife we decided to order drinks as my parents were not at the table ...we order 1 pint one half pint, single vodka and 2 soft drinks for the kids. Bailey decided to question us why we are ordering all those drinks as we are only 2 adults, I had to explain myself to Bailey why I am ordering ONE PINT AND HALF OF PERONI AND ONE SINGLE VODKA, absolutely RUBBISH. He was in such a big rush and he would not listen to what I was ordering, as he messed up the drink order bit not bother to sort it out. When I have asked for another pint of Peroni he would just wonder around wipping tables, I had to ask him kindly for my drink which he never bother to bring over, I have asked his colleague who basically poor it for me and collect it myself from the table. When very annoyed about the entire experience we decided to leave and asked for the bill, again he ignored us, I have asked him again and he decided to send me to the bar, when everyone else was paying at their tables. His colleague again helped me and took the payment. We have spent £80 which and had our dinner by this young male which shouldn't be front of house absolutely not, as his skills are 0 in being in contact with customers. I hope someone would get back to me regarding this review. With regards to the below reply from the management: "Thank you for leaving us feedback in regards to your visit with us. I have already spoken to your server when you visited us. As we operate a challenge 25 policy anyone who is lucky enough to look under the age of 25 on a table will be ID checked to make sure only people over the 18 are being served alcohol, to comply with licensing law. When asking for the bill he did explain that was just going to take another tables order on the way and bring it over to you on the way back. I apologise that you left dissatisfied on this occasion however my team did everything they could to follow the licensing rules and try and satisfy all their guests needs." My reply: I would happily come back and see if you could challenge my age due to my white hair...I am 40 years old :))).... The service was absolutely below any expectations he just ignored us ...when he asked about alcohol he did not challenge my age he asked us why we are ordering 3 alcohol drinks when we are 2 adults...this is not challenging 25 years old age policy it's a person which shouldn't be front of house without training like this young gentleman. He never bother bringing another drink when asked and had to chase 2 other members of staff...with regards to the bill he took the payment at every table when he asked me to go to the bar and pay and not even bother to come over to take the payment but sent another colleague and he was pretending to wipe a table...

Never in all my life have i been so disgusted! I know Sundays are busy for staff but it was hectic between them all. The guys couldn't find my booking that I did on line. Asked me a number of times what name it was under I even had to spell it twice dor her. I wasn't shown my table just told it was that one over there pointing to it. When me and my partner we waited 10 mins for someone to come over and take drinks order we have never been here before. The glads came and it was filthy covered in marks and smudges and even had food stuck to it. I asked for another but looked the same only with out the food. Went up to the drink section. Melted ice everywhere also extremely dirty. I went back to my table after poring one as there was a queue behind ne and I felt pressure. Took the drink to my table a d decided to go up for food as the queue was getting rather long. When I was standing in the queue In frot of me was the gravy and sauce station. It was awful. Sauce everywhere food all over the counter that was old and the worst part for me was the FLYS! Flysheet was everywhere! On the dishes the sauce was in the flying around people who was trying to put sauce on there plate and in the sauce and the food spilt on the counter. I made ola point of point this out and told the young lady about the Flysheet and she said swiftly to me 'yes I know, they are there because wr xant use any cleaning products or chemicals around the food' I was mortified. I said okay But don't you think k it's best for hygiene reasons to refresh this and cover them? With a plat on the too or kitchen foil people us eating this. I made it very clean who uncomfortable and discussed and very disappointed I was and I couldn't eat here. She just looked and me and shudder she shoulders and walked away. Me and my partner turned around leaving our drinks on the table and left. I felt sick because of thus I took my costume to anther restaurant across the way and expressed to them what I had seen. It's the 1st of October I intend to eat there Flysheet and bugs die off. Made me wonder what the kitchen is like. I will not recommend this tobys to anyone and I will always tell them about my experience and what I witnessed. As I left the 2 girls at the desk look at us a d looked back at each other and smirked I'm so discussed.

Very disappointed after this evening, went out for dinner , everything nice everyone happy, until we had to order , we had this waiter Bailey taking our order , very unprofessional,very stressed , he was questioning us why and for whom the drinks are for, in a very unpolite way, trying to explain was no way that he will understand. Anyway after a while we wanted another drink after more than 15mins we have reminded him that we ask for another drink 15 mins ago, he came in the end , when we have to pay at the end he said he will come but he has something else to do , we have said we really have to go , he came back and he said come with me at the bar to pay , like everyone else was paying at the table, why we have to go at the bar, in a very rude way ... please train this person how to speak and how to take orders, customer always comes first... very very disappointed.

I was visiting family and we decided to order a Toby Carvery to collect as we have had good experiences before from other Toby Carvery’s more local to us. Unfortunately, this was very disappointing. The food was cold even though we picked it up at the exact time we selected. We understood the vegetables would be selected from the carvery deck however we did not get any yorkshire puddings or roast potatoes which was a surprise. It was just veg, gravy and the melt in the middle so it was not worth the price at all! It is my fault as I should have properly looked in the bag when I left, so will learn from that for next time, but never had to do that before, so didn’t think to!

We visited on the 31st of August. I have found a hair in my food and it was disgusting as I got it out of my mouth while chewing potatoes. We had an apology from the kitchen and we were told not to pay, which was obvious, as we didn't eat much. Without any arguments we have payed for our drinks and left. I have not visited any restaurants since as this incident really upset me. Can you imagine how angry we were on a top of all this to receive a parking fine today stating that we owe 100 pounds to euro car park even though we have entered the car registration plate number at the desk when entered the carvery?! The worst place possible, please avoid it if you value your health as hygiene is horrible and they will issue you a fine even if you have done everything correctly.

Unfortunately this was a poor experience. I'm quite a fan of the brand and our local branch has never let us down but this visit left a lot to be desired. Service was fast as you would expect, we were upsold a couple bowls of pigs in blankets and headed to the carvery. We were running late from our journey back from Somerset so visited at around 3pm, which Is why I belive the speed was in such a shocking disarray. The meats that were on offer were dried carcasses of what were probably lovely joints in peak lunch, they were great and the beef was reduced to a couple of lumps of fat no larger than a roast potato which the server was still offering! The roast potatoes were solid, dry with a powdery centre. The carrots were brown with a dry crust, the peas were brown and dry the leeks were crispy, the cauliflower had barely any cheese. The stuffing was just completely absent of moisture, like dried briquettes which someone had actively stirred and though "yeah, that's good enough" the sliced potatoes were more like Crisps. Honestly one of the worst roasts I have ever experienced carvery or otherwise. The saving grace was the mac and cheese which was brought out fresh. The two bowls of pigs in blankets were more like half filled ramekins which I easily put into the one pot, 5 of the smallest sausages in each (I counted) which were overcooked and solid. We tried soaking them in their famous (flavourless) gravy which did not do them kindly. The cleanliness and service were very good and not an issue. It's fair to say that this branch needs a review of standards of food as we will actively avoid for some time to come. I think our experience would have been better if we were there at peak times, though it was not exactly quiet when we were there, I don't think the time we come should make our money worth any less than others!

We came in for dinner around 6:30 pm. We ordered drinks and food at the same time and got pigs in blankets with the carverys and the pigs in blankets came before the drinks and they were like warm and not even my toddler could eat it. Then we got to the carvery we waited in line for 10 minutes just to get a dirty plate and as you go along the refreshing or food is slow and the sides look dirty and my plate was aswell. Then when it came to eating the food everything was bland, dry or tasteless. We didn't even eat all our food and while eaiting to complain loads of flied swarmed our dinner and notices how dirty the seats were ripped and dirty. NOBODY GO HERE!

Received a fine for parking here despite not seeing any obvious signage - in other responses they’ve said there’s plenty of signage but it’s clearly not obvious or there wouldn’t be so many people being caught out! Cheeky!!

Absolutely shocking experience. Only 2 meat choices, roast potatoes dry and overcooked, vegetables looked like they had been there for hours. We arrived at 7pm and at 7.40 we were asked to pay and leave because they were having a staff meeting - we had literally just finished eating and hadn't finished our drinks. Asked for drinks to be removed from bill as we had not even had time to drink them. At no point entering or being seated was a staff meeting mentioned. Needless to say if they had we would have gone to the Harvester instead..rest assured we will be in future. I'm not in the habit of giving bad reviews but this is a completely unacceptable way to treat paying customers.

Stopped in here on the way home for the novelty and to make a change from the other more generic food places surrounding it. I accidentally forgot to put my car details in for the car park and got a fine sent through the post. However, the Manager Josh went above and beyond to sort it out and was really understanding of the situation. It’s nice to know that there are still places in the world where people try and be friendly. I will stop off here again if I ever need a leg stretch on a long journey even if just for a cup of coffee.

Food tasty with as much as you can eat for a very reasonable price

Although not an old establishment, the interior of the place is tired and unloved. Very unwelcome and dark inside with many lightbulbs off and dirty Air cons blowing dust over your food. Food wasn't great either. Slow service, messy counter and sticky drink dispenser area.

Tonight's 6pm meal was not meeting our expectations, as again, no lamb on the menu. Yes, it says four Rost on the wall. But this is a Sunday Rost Lamb day, but no lamb. I'm very disappointed this time. 😔

It was a stop off from a visit to friends. The food was great and the staff amazingly friendly and happy to meet my requests.

Got at £100 fine for just parking here to change my sat nav and strach my legs. Was here for 25 min. £100!!!!! just for changing my sat nav. DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. THEY ARE A EVIL EXPLOITATIVE CORPORATION THAT WILL TAKE MONEY FOR YOU ANYWAY THEY CAN.

Food was bland and the floor was slippery because of dropped food everywhere..The carvery in Amesbury is normally very good bud standards have definitely dropped which is disappointing 😞

Not too bad. Freindly staff. Carvery meat was nice. But the rest was underwhelming.

The staff were all rude and clueless the definition of the lights are on but no one’s home. Just outright rude and slow . Meat was actually drier than hands flip flop and two of my potatoes were completely raw in the middle.

All food had been hanging around too long and was hard and dry. Way below Toby’s usual standard.

I’d like to start out by recommending Lucy and Tasha, we were a party of 6 with common allergies and nothing was too much trouble for them and they dealt with the allergies with minimal fuss. They were attentive & kind to all of us. There wasn’t a wait time or any delays for anything. Drinks were served promptly and carvery was replenished promptly. Can’t fault anything that this establishment did for us. Full marks all around.

Its kind of buffet. So they carve the meat we prefer and we can take sides on our choice. It was tasty and service were also nice

Ridiculously fined £100 for parking here to use the adjacent McDonalds. Have done this for years in the empty carpark with no issue. No signs were apparent. If there were any, they were not prominent enough. They'll be earning more from this than from the restaurant, which always appears empty.

Probably the worst roast I've ever had . Beef was full of fat . Turkey tasteless. Poor vegetables and the potatoes were inedible . Complained and only had to pay for drinks but not the point . Poor Poor Poor!!!!

On arriving at the Toby Carvery I booked in through the registration system, as I was prompted to do so by the duty waiter who was seating personnel. On completion of the meal, I paid my dues and drove home. Approximately 10 days later, I got a PCN fine through the post, stating I was illegally parked in the Toby Carvery car park during the period of my meal. Euro Car Parks who is representing Toby Carvery were requesting a minimum payment of £60 if paid within the set time, or a £100 if I was to appeal or to go over the limited time in which to pay. I had pre-booked my table for the times specified on the PCN fine notification, and I am right in saying, the car park is for Toby Carvery customers, of which I was according to the timings on the PCN notice fine. I had a reservation issued by Toby Carvery, and I am now facing a fine for parking in their car park, talk about taking your money and then shooting you! Furthermore, I am a registered 70% disabled war veteran, who hold s a blue badge, so parked accordingly. As you can appreciate, my walking ability isn't great, and greatly reduces my movement capability, and so therefore, can only walk from the car to the restaurant, hence why I parked in the car park, and that said, why are innocent people who are supporting the Toby Carvery chain being penalised for attending their booked table, and paying a fine similar to the charge for the meal, how is that right? It's not right, it's absolutely absurd and ridiculous, and I am shocked that Toby Carvery are supporting such actions, especially when it involves unfortunate disabled people like me. I must admit, I enjoyed all the times I spent at Toby Carvery, but since this stupid system/ action, I will no longer be visiting the restaurant anymore - the whole setup with Euro Car Parks is a sham, and if they want to destroy their business, by penalising innocent people, then carry on.

The place itself is okay and clean. The staff is friendly and some put a lot of effort in giving us a good service. So I can't fault them at all and that's the only reason they get 2starts as otherwise I would only give 1. The food is a totally different story. We love tobi, but we will not return to the one in amesbury. The food in tastless and have no flavours. The beef is very fatty and the turkey very dry. The chef is very slow in topping the vegetables up and we always have to wait . I would say that the best food item are the Yorkshire puddings. We tried breakfast and unless you arrive when it starts you might not have a full English breakfast 😪

Only 2nd time in a 'spoons and it was really nice, well most of it. I'm nit a gambler so I was taken with the slot machine things or the big TV' s showing racing but thaf was my only dislike. We enjoyed some really good good, I had the veggie burger and it came with a drink so I had wine, my partner the curry and a pint, what a bargain. We are hoping to move to the area and if we do I think I'm going to enjoy visiting many more times. Friendly staff, nice drinks and food.
