Toby Carvery Kings Norton in Birmingham

We were a large family group and everyone was able to get a meal they enjoyed at the Sunday Carvery. The staff we met were very pleasant, particularly Claire who served our table. She was very attentive to see my relative with autism got a meal to suit her restricted tastes.

Debs was very hospitable and helpful

Deb, Adel and Gaz sorted out a large group of us right before breakfast closed which we really appreciated.

Excellent food excellent service

Lovely meal, meat was melt in the mouth! Sarah was great and attentive

Best Toby breakfast. We were a big party having breakfast for a 40th birthday and Debs who works at Toby made it extra special. Thanks Debs

Didn’t book, was busy but still managed to get a table. Everything was fresh and tasty, £15 now for a carvery on a Sunday and enjoyed it 👍🏻 Yes I use a spoon. Will return

Fantastic service from Debs, looking after our 13 person party 10mins before breakfast closed. Even had a great time!

Had the breakfast of a lifetime, thank you Queen debs!

We booked a table of 13 people with about 30mins notice. Debs and Adel were great at accommodating us. The booking was just before breakfast ended and Debs and the kitchen manager arranged for fresh Sausages, hash browns and eggs to be put out. Great service!

Why do you feel the need to put bacon in the Yorkshire pudding and the hash at breakfast that means so many people can't eat it

They are absolutely the best! Debs Adel is very sweet and helpful.

Really good food very busy though staff were run off their feet but still served with a smile

Fantastic service from debs and gaz. Really helpful fitting in a large group in for breakfast 15 minutes before it ended.

Great service from Sarah, gave us time to order and had a laugh with us. Thank you for your service.

Debs was super helpful and accommodating! Really sorted us out as we were almost late for breakfast but we managed to get in on time and everything was perfect. We had the breakfast and the Food/drinks were loaded with your favourites! 11/10

Walked in late and Debs, Adel and Gaz were great accommodating us when we were in a rush!

Debs, Adel and the chefs were very accommodating for our extremely large group on short notice

Food fine,service fine. Normal price,normal service,normal food. Nothing bad to write about,but not Outstanding either.

Tasteless and over cooked breakfast. Ordered two large breakfasts received one, sausages and hash browns over cooked, potato mashed into the bottom of the tub, everything but the bacon and eggs were tasteless, nothing good about this breakfast. Avoid this place

the only place i can take my Mrs she finishes her plate quicker than i easy to find parking on week days you’ll be lucky on Sunday seating arrangement is abit close at some places If they sat me in that wasteman table next to the reception stand I’d walk mate Good food good service

Booked for Mother’s Day at 3:30pm. The first red flag was there was no parking available so I had to dump my car next to a curb and climb over the passenger side to get out. Got to the top of the stairs and that’s where the end of the queue was. Can’t understand why the queue was so big if it was mainly reservations. Obviously very unorganised. Waited for a while, popped my head around and there were about 30 people in the queue for the carvery. Couldn’t wait even if I wanted to due to my toddler so we ended up going elsewhere.

I booked a table for motherday 2.20 would of rated higher but on arrival had 2stand in a queue for 20mins with my mom and 2of my children who are aldults now then had 2stand with my mom who is 85year up by the bar with a drink until they called u 4 tables cause they was over book and other customer was just walking in and just sitting on tables that was reserved for who had booked which is wrong BUT MY MOM DID ENJOY HER CARVERY WHEN SHE GOT IT ..

Booked a table at 8.50 after I had finished work after seeing it closed at 10, upon arrival the woman at the door (older lady with a ponytail and fringe) looked to a coworker at the bar visibly looking unimpressed finished her conversation then came to myself an my partner and very rudely had said they closed at 9 to have a look at what carvery was left and see if we still wanted to eat. Her whole demeanour was horrific she was so rude to us made us feel completely unwelcome and that if we were to stay we would just be a bother. I felt so uncomfortable I asked my partner if we could leave. The chef stood at the carvery seemed very polite and could see that I looked disheartened and made sure to apologise and offered some solutions which was very sweet. However after the attitude we received from the floor and bar staff who continued to argue about closing times which weren’t displayed correctly on Google I will not be returning I have never felt so unwelcome in a venue in my life. Awful awful service.

Great place for all the family.

Ordered two take away carveries with Turkey and Gammon, sadly no meat came. Highway robbery.

Booked a table for 3.10pm today waited in queue for 10 minutes to say I have a table booked to be told I have to wait another 20 minutes what’s the point in booking a table if it’s not ready!!!

Hostile front of house staff member, waited a long time 15 mins to be seated. Staff passing us by with no acknowledgement until we went into the restaurant to find someone. Their response we were just coming to you. Vegetables were dried out, obviously there for the whole day. Had to ask for potatoes and stuffing, pasta not edible! By the time we waited for other items our meats and gravy were cold.

Adel was fabulous! Very good service!

Service from sandra was amazing

Always a good choice for breakfast, great staff and well cooked british fair.

Super friendly service by Claire, felt like nothing asked was to much effort. Food was really good too.

The location of the restaurant is very good for everyone, very easy to access if you are driving and for anyone who is taking the bus, the bus stops (on either side of the road) are just by the restaurant so you won’t be walking extra distance to get to the restaurant or get to your buses. And also, the Kings Norton train station is just about two minutes walk from there too. So it is easily accessible. The food is great and the carvery is excellent. There is the mini game centre for kids and of course adults too can play the games 😂 there is a private dining area that is conducive for meetings too. You can go there for your breakfast and also lunch and dinner. The environment is child friendly and the meals are very affordable. PS: They offer delivery services too and you can also take away for food.

Extra large carvery for me! Beef was cooked just right and the as many roast potatoes as you want! Tried the all you can eat breakfast as well, just as good, even scrambled me eggs!

The food was Luke warm and nearly cold by the time it got back to the table. Hardly any selection as takeaway meals were been filled leaving containers empty. The staff are rushed off there feet. Very busy and the chefs are having to serve and plate up takeaways and the waitress is rushed off her feet and having to prepare deserts also as a man down in the kitchen x the staff were great. Hard working and even though they were running around trying to please everyone our server Claire was friendly polite and managed to still be smiling x

We had a lovely Sunday dinner here, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Freya is such a darling! Thanks guys! Xxx

Our server Freya was superb, we both noticed how smiley she was and she dealt with a rather difficult customer near us very well!

Honest review here: Went on a Sunday for a carvery. The parking was full, so clearly the parking is too small for a busy day. The service was good as staff are helpful and professional. The food was actually quite nice. The queue for the carvery was quite a letdown as we waited aproximately 40 minutes. The food is displayed where so many people just walk by and there were obnoxious people in the queue that were just breathing over and leaning over it. Surely that is not right. The place itself could use a bit of a refurb as to have better ways of access and an updated decor.

Efficient and polite staff Ample servings

First time for breakfast. Very good selection. Eggs were originally a bit hard but when I went back up there were fresh eggs which were lovely. Debs was very friendly and helpful. Veggie sausages which were cooked to order were great. Will definitely be back

lovely breakfast and debs was friendly

Thank you Debs for always giving such great service!!!!

Lovely service from Claire and delicious food! Thank you so much!

We visit every week for a breakfast and catch-up with family. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and react kindly to my father’s repetitive jokes, especially poor Sue who is unlucky enough to see us most weeks.

lovely place, lovely food, beef was a tiny bit chewy. claire was wonderful

First time visit staff polite and helpful. Carvery awful nothing was even warm, very disappointing visit. Will NOT be coming back or recommending.

Food standard, green beans and pasta for veg options.. never any nice veg… chefs look like they are off their head and the facilities, tired, dated, that much it’s almost a feature in a business that refuses to invest.. vanilla, but does the job and the front of house staff very courteous and friendly…

Amazing experience. Booked a last minute family birthday, more than happy to accommodate a party of 17 and nothing was too much trouble. Great food and a fantastic family friendly atmosphere. We will certainly be back! Many thanks especially to our server Gracie

Looked after by Claire absolutely lovely woman, funny. Polite and very friendly. Brilliant lady couldn't do enough for us. Thank you claire

Lovely service from Adel. Really enjoyed our food.

Nice food, bit of a long wait as we didn’t pre book.

Does what it says on the tin - it’s a Toby Carvery and this is a good one that gives you everything you’d want from a Toby Carvery. Our server today was Claire who was helpful and cheerful!

Best carvery to go to. Just don't go on a Sunday. Booked for 3.50. Got seated at 4.10. Finally sat with my meal at 5.05. The que for the carvery was wrapped around the pub. Certainly wouldn't of waited if I had kids.

Never had a bad meal, meat can be occasionally fatty but not enough to moan about. I keep going back so can't be that bad 😉

Popped in as friends birthday hadn't booked and was rammed,lovely lady said if we were prepared to wait approx 20 mins she could get us a table.less than 10mins and seated. Carvery was amazing staff attentive. When asking for the bill young lady asked if we had a voucher?? Then explained if we downloaded the app would get a sizeable amount off the bill ,which of cause we did 😀 staff very friendly food Great will definitely be going back 💗

Avoid. Long waiting time. Long lines. Staff who are rude.

Breakfast was ok staff was nice

Nice food good service very busy just a short wait but worth waiting

Debs always dis a pleasure to meet, always a smile on her face and asks how we all are. She is lovely. Food was great and a relaxing start to Saturday morning

Adel was fantastic today lovely welcome and kept a check in throughout our dinner and pudding nice happy face 😄

Very relaxed atmosphere. Server Sandra was lovely, speedy service and kind staff all round. Food amazing x x

Lovely place to come and eat. Not always full meat choice on offer but that's because it's always busy. However, food is nice, good selection of veg and service is friendly. Will definite be back!

Lovely friendly waitress Sandra. Was very helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Deb who was very accomodating to me and my little boy :)

Really pleasant staff for what they have to deal with always friendly always welcoming. Can never complain about the food.

Great food and great service from Claire today, plenty of meat and sides to choose from.

Claire was very attentive and friendly, my children loved her. Everything was great apart form long wait for food and really hot in the restaurant

Really enjoyed the carvery we had. Good choice of vegetables as well

Not the first time visit , we came today with the £6 carvery offer and booked at 6pm, we expected will be more people than usual but didn’t expect the extremely long waiting time for carvery ! Staff at reception worked really hard to get table for us in 10 mins however the queue has been extended longer and longer . We joined the queue and finally waited for one hour ! Yes one hour at the queue. The reason is not about the food supply but how the staff management is . Only One guy serving customer while he responsible on cutting meat as well as get all meats out from kitchen when it’s gone . Another guy who only take care vegetables and looks less busier ,why don’t he also help on meats to share some workloads ? Come on be flexible ! At least manager should have noticed short of hands and get sorted of it .

Many thanks to Luke for his excellent service. Had a minor issue with food but he sorted straight away and apologised. He was very friendly and attentive. A credit to the business

Some customers were treated more warmly than others. We simply walked in without a reservation. We were assigned to the bar area. My wife clearly expressed her request to move to the restaurant area. But the staff insisted we stay in the bar without explanation. Meanwhile, a lady who made the same request before my wife was accommodated immediately. Additionally, the bar area is a self-service section with tables not set for dining. When I asked one of the team members for cutlery while carrying my food, she simply opened the drawer and left me to help myself. We couldn't help but feel unwelcome and unfairly treated.

Came here today was lovely food was really nice a waitress Claire who served us was rushed off her feet and still gave great service would definitely recommend

We had a server called Claire who was really friendly and made the experience positive. Food was beautiful.

It was my first time to visit for breakfast, and I was looking forward to it. However, the waiter did not introduce us at all, did not speak, and just stood in front of the cashier. We asked the waiter if there was a drink menu, and she said no. There was no receipt after payment, so I suspected that they had been overcharged for the meal.

Lovely food had an amazing server think her name was Beth she was lovely to us and made our experience great.

Very busy night but service and food was great. Our sever Claire was great 👍

The staff member went above and beyond due to huge queues we were going to leave as having physical health problems, we are unable to stand for long periods of time. The staff asked what meats we wanted and brought us our plates allowing us to just get our veg. Couldn’t of asked for more

Claire was an absolutely amazing server, great attitude and although it was super busy she worked so hard and kept smiling.

Went for a yummy unlimited breakfast with the boo thang, everything was lovely. HOWEVER I didn’t care for the mushrooms, but dry and cold. The hashbrowns are 10/10 though 🫶🏻

Great place to eat and friendly environment. And a great server sue :)

PHENOMAL food perfect service and amazing atmosphere my favorite person to me now is sue

Great service from Debra, always lovely coming here

Very friendly welcome from Debs at the front door, we were seated very quickly and the food was beautiful and very fresh.

As always debs and crew give a warm welcome and helpful whenever, always on the go and never stopping pleasing customers

Very good quality food, as well as refreshing beverages and wonderful service. My breakfast today was delightful and you just can't beat Toby Carvery. The wonderful service I received today was from Debs and Gaz.

I go toby carvery kings Norton a couple of time a month i can say the food is always nice. Debs behind counter always kind and helpful.

Claire was excellent, good service and great food.

Went for my sons 15th birthday, his choice, had a wonderful time, everyone was really nice and our waitress Melissa was very helpful and kind.

Excellent food and great service, Adel was brilliant and so friendly

Served by Melisa today she was extremely kind and helpful

Best Toby Carvery in a long time! Great service from Melissa too 🙌🏼

Adel was wonderful, thank you so much 😊

Great service from Melisa, very helpful. Luvly food thanks

Uneducated personal, especially the young ladies.

Sunday all you can eat breakfast 😋 a must try

It's a Toby Carvery and there's not a lot else to say. It has a blandness that most chain restaurants fall into. They do what they do and do a reasonable job at it but no more

On visiting today 22.2.2025 , not only was the food awful and tasteless, gravy like water the service was appalling, was shown to our seats by a man in lilac shirt, ordered drinks and were just thrown on table, I said thank you and was no responce . After food the waitress came back and asked if everything was OK but walked away before we could open our mouth. Worst £78.00 spent. We went to McDonald's after and food was so much better .we have always had good meals but this visit was awful, don't usually complain but on this occasion is needed.

Excellent service: particularly team member Adel, and who was exceptionally friendly, engaging customer focused, efficient and professional. Although the restaurant didn't appear to be busy, likewise few customers queuing at the Carvery, they had run out of the lamb, two forlorn bones resting on the tray. There were no Yorkshire puddings available and no gravy, until a team member was requested to refill - and this was just 5pm.

Lovely afternoon carvery and was look after by Sandra who was really friendly and attentive. Thank you

Had a lovely breakfast with the family today, all the staff were amazing 💓 thank you to the bar manager, the lady setting and clearing tables and to the chef for a lovely breakfast and experience, will definitely return
