Decided spur of the moment to visit our local Toby carvery with the family , been quite a few times and always found the food okay for the price . On this visit we were all disappointed with the overall quality of the food , gammon extremely salty , beef quite fatty , turkey a bit dry( wether it had been sitting under the hot plates for to long . Potatoes not what I would call roast potatoes and the veg was pretty poor to say the least . I’m not expecting Michelin star food and it might have been one of those nights but it would make me think about going again soon !

Restaurant in its self was nice, staff pleasant enough. As for the deck, everything looked like it had been there for hours on end. Not much choice of vegetables, turkey was fresh out though. The beef dripping roast potatoes were like rocks. When asked at the end of our meals if everything was ok we did say about this, only to be told they were having problems with their potatoes. Go figure

We enjoy coming normally on a Saturday but must say our main reason we pick Toby over any other restaurant we could eat from is due to the staff and if it was not for one member in particular we would more than likely go elsewhere now and again. So Natasha we thank you for always being warm, friendly, attentive, and just one very special young lady and Toby should be very privileged to have as part of the company as a staff member. It is not just us, she is like it with every guest that she serves. The staff in general are good and food always been very good when we have attended Toby Lower Early. Again we thank you young lady and remember you are a very special.

I come here now and again and my parents come here often. Whilst the food is always excellent the service lets this place down I have never come here and been pleasantly greeted or spoken too properly. I’ve never reviewed before but after my most recent visit with no changes to the service I thought it would be beneficial to let others know not to expect good service. One lady in particular makes it seem an inconvenience to bring over a glass of water slamming it down in the table and walking off without even acknowledging our presence. Even when this restaurant is not busy you’d be lucky to get the attention of a server. And paying for the bill, well you don’t get the bill until they bring the card machine over so you don’t have time to look over it first. Great food but don’t expect any sort of good service.

I love a Toby Carvery and this is the first time I have visited Lower Earley. I am pleased to say that this was by far the best run Toby Carvery. We were immediately greeted at the door by who I assume was the shift manager- he was a male and I didn’t get his name but I hope he knows who he is if he sees this! He seated us straight away and asked if we knew what we wanted to drink. My 7 year old daughter, indecisive as always, wasn’t sure. The male member of staff crouched down beside her to talk to her at her level and explain the different options in an enthusiastic and child friendly way- this was so great to see! Drinks ordered and they arrived very quickly! The carving deck was being run efficiently, it was well presented and tidy with a huge selection of vegetables. Food was excellent quality. Our waitress, again my bad I didn’t take her name, was quick to clear our plates when we finished and we ordered our desserts. We were able to pay our bill swiftly. All the staff here seemed really good- attentive and quick to attend to patrons needs. I will absolutely be choosing Lower Earley over Frimley or Caversham Bridge in the future!

Got here around 8pm. Told the restaurant was 'full' and to order at the bar and sit in the bar area. When we checked the restaurant side, most seats were empty and only two tables were taken so maybe the employee needed to go to specsavers! Anyway, we ordered and sat at the bar seating and I was told my food would be brought to the table as I ordered off the menu. 20 mins later, still waiting. So my friend asks one of the employees there and he says it is waiting in the restaurant area and I need to go up to get it and show my receipt. Not what I was told previously but okay. I told him no one called out that it was ready. He replies 'we have been busy' No apology or concern. And I guess the customers have to be mind readers to figure out if their food is ready and where to get it.

I met two friends for lunch at the Toby Carvery and we had a lovely time. We had the carvery roast dinner which I love as I can choose exactly how much food i want to eat and exactly which meat and which vegetables. Also how many toast potatoes. The drinks are very reasonable including the cocktails. I had a liqueur coffee after the meal. The waitress was excellent. Altogether we had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, for a reasonable amount of money .

It's not bad overall, the stuffing looks and tastes more like cheap minced beef. The roast potatoes are not the best but I have had worse. The cauliflower cheese, well they as well not bother as there is a tiny bit of cheese sauce drizzled over the top of a pot full of cauliflower. Like I said I have had worse roast dinners.

Wife and I recently visited. We opted for the beef/Yorkshire and helped ourselves to vegetables. This was a mistake as the beef wouldn't cut even with a serrated knife. The Yorkshire pudding was dried out and the vegetables were cooked to death.The waitress was advised that the chef should be informed to stop serving the beef but this didn't happen. However, we were reimbursed for the value of the meat.The World Turned Upside Down pub/restaurant is far superior and a better option at this price range.

Me and my dad went for breakfast- the woman at the host stand was very assertive and not friendly at all. We had a young waitress who was lovely and polite. The chefs behind the carvery were the most miserable staff I have ever seen, they effectively threw my food on the plate and when I asked for toast ‘tutted’ at me and put marmalade straight on the top in a dollop. Food was good, however completely ruined by lack of customer service and after realising they obviously hate their job I questioned the skill in the kitchen. Acted as if it was a chore to be paid. I am the general manager of another pub and if I saw this in my establishment I would be considering more than a chat with the men in question- puts the pub to shame.

I arrived with my family and we booked a table and we had a really nice time the food was very nice and also I had a rosé wine and that was nice as well it was sweet. The service was very good from start to finish. The only thing that lets it down was the fact that I couldn’t put my potatoes and veg which I’m not blaming them I know that they have to do it this way but it’s not the same as when you go in and choose your own potatoes and veg. I loved my banoffee sundae which was amazing. Only thing I would say is if you don’t like someone putting food on your plate then at the moment Toby carvery isn’t for you if you do not mind then it is very lovely experience and I do recommend it.

First night able to eat out again after covid, got ignored for 35 minutes with people arriving after us going straight up and then argued with by an older blonde waitress when we asked why we hadn’t been escorted to get our food like everyone else and when we could get our food, she was very rude and argumentative in front of other diners which made me and my partner feel so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving, the manager told us not to worry about paying for drinks but didn’t really seem bothered about the situation, we both love carvery and have never had any issues before but this has upset us so much we’ve written a review...

My family and I decided to return to the Toby Carvery, where my wife and son had previously been a couple of times with friends and enjoyed their meals here. We had to queue to be served buffet style, but this was in view of the Covid-19 guidelines in place at the time, and the restaurant was compliant in every way. There was a wide choice to choose from, and we enjoyed all that we had chosen to eat and drink. We would certainly be happy to return.

En la primera visita al juego COVID y no estaba seguro de cómo sería, tienes que esperar a que te inviten al asador, que estuvo bien, ya que fue bastante rápido.No puede servirse ninguna verdura de patatas o salsa, que es un poco restringida y se da cuenta de que es mucho menos dada y rara con las salsas, etc. Sería mejor si la mesa tuviera salsa y salsas. El servidor luego lleva su cena a su mesa, lo que funcionó bien, también los servidores deben rellenar las bebidas.Simplemente no se siente igual y es un poco decepcionante, pero entiende las reglas que deben seguir.Creo que esperaré hasta que vuelva a haber algo de normalidad con las visitas.

He visitado este Toby muchas veces y encontré que la comida era muy buena, sin embargo, en esta ocasión, debido a las reglas de Covid, marque qué comida necesita en una hoja que se le dio, lo cual no fue un problema. Lo único es que ayuda si tienes personal que sepa leer. Éramos un grupo de 3 y esperamos 20 minutos por nuestra comida, nuestra reserva era para 8. 15 pm para que el restaurante no estuviera lleno.Como se vio antes en una visita, las camareras estaban charlando y luego se dieron cuenta de que no nos habían servido nuestro pedido de comida, lo cual estaba bien. Finalmente traen nuestra comida y las 3 cenas tenían los alimentos equivocados sobre los que explicamos, lo devuelven y luego regresan con los mismos 3 platos y nos dicen que la comida es correcta. Les pedimos que miren la hoja de papel porque está mal. No contentos con nosotros señalando que han cometido un error, se van y en este punto uno de nosotros va a ver al gerente, después de explicar lo sucedido, finalmente accedió a hacer la comida nuevamente. Las primeras 2 cenas vienen y son correctas. La tercera cena es incorrecta, la verdura equivocada estaba en el plato, repollo en lugar de zanahorias, que claramente son de un color diferente. El gerente no estaba contento y dijo que el chef no había leído la caja. . . lo que puede suceder, lo sé porque trabajo en hostelería en Heathrow, por eso fui tan paciente. Pero para llevar la comida equivocada a una mesa 3 veces, cualquiera se sentiría infeliz y no sería muy comprensivo, especialmente cuando no hay disculpas y tratando de culpar al cliente. . Recomiendo a todo el personal que haga un curso de relaciones con el cliente y si hubiéramos recibido una disculpa, no encontraría la necesidad de escribir una reseña como sé en este negocio y en estos momentos imprevistos las cosas salen mal. A nadie parece importarle o tener pasión por su trabajo, lo que sería de gran ayuda para los clientes que se relacionan con ser tratados de manera respetuosa. No me hizo sentir que era su culpa cuando todo lo que hicimos fue marcar algunas casillas. Yo tambiénSugiera que emplee personal que sepa leer. Y tal vez, en lugar de una camarera charlando, podrían aprovechar el tiempo para revisar el pedido y asegurarse de que sea correcto antes de presentarlo a la mesa. . Si se hubiera seguido este paso, estoy seguro de que no habríamos tenido la mala experiencia esta noche. Pero en cambio, no lo siento, solo personal estridente y ni siquiera un descuento, ya que después de 3 intentos de servir nuestra comida y más uno de nuestro grupo tuvo que esperar por la comida mientras el otro comía. Muy mala gestión. !

No hay mucho que revisar, obtienes un asador decente a un precio decente.Yorkshire estaba fresco y crujiente, el jamón era realmente agradable y suculento y las verduras estaban bien: las papas nunca son tan crujientes como te gustan. Esperaba un crujido que no estaba en oferta, no estoy seguro de si es solo para ciertos días.Tenía algunas dudas acerca de cómo iban a funcionar las cosas con las nuevas regulaciones, pero el servicio fue excelente, las recargas se sirvieron en nuestra mesa y los chefs fueron tan generosos como yo hubiera sido si me hubiera servido a mí mismo.

Obviamente, las restricciones actuales significan que algunas cosas han cambiado. Lamentablemente, algunos no lo han hecho. El espacio entre las mesas significa que no estás encima de otros comensales, escuchando sobre el reemplazo de cadera de la tía abuela Enid. Lamentablemente, significa que hay más espacio para que los niños aburridos corran y lo usen como área de juegos. No culpo a Toby por los niños, solo una observación.La otra diferencia es que hay mucho más servicio de espera que antes, casi como un restaurante de verdad. No te sirvas refrescos sin fondo: deben servirse. Por cierto, no vi a ninguno de los camareros usar una máscara.El asado se sirve de la misma forma. Parecía haber cierta renuencia por parte de otros comensales a mantenerse socialmente distantes en la cola, lo que puede ser una bendición, ya que no parecía haber mucho espacio para mantener la distancia social adecuada.La comida en sí todavía no supera la mediocre. Ahora, por el precio y el "tostado masivo", probablemente esté bien. Dudo que estén apuntando a estrellas Michelin todavía. Pero el cortador de carne está aburrido. Realmente desinteresado en su trabajo. Ahora puedo entender eso, también lo sería si eso fuera todo lo que tuviera que hacer en toda la noche. Pero no hizo que ser atendido fuera un evento alegre.Y es extraño que te sirvan las verduras. No sé cuántas patatas asadas quiero hasta que las pongo en el plato. Y quiero arreglar el plato y verter la salsa donde quiero.Pero realmente quisquilloso.Volveremos Eso espero. No está tan mal.

We had a beautiful family lunch there and was amazing. The beef was perfect . The variety of vegetables as well was just all cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic too . The best place in Reading to have a roast dinner. I also have Toby Carvery app on my phone which I was able to get 2 roast dinners for £12 and also get rewarded with a stamp which means if I get a certain amount of stamps I will firstly get a free desert and then after that when you reach you continue with the stamps eventually you will be entitled to a free roast dinner so I advise you to get the app on your phone.

Biggest criticism is the “school dinners” approach mostly at the serving deck, you shuffle along In a long queue get the meat slapped on the plate by some unsmiling, uncommunicative carver (how does he manage to cut the meat so thin!). You then attempt to serve yourself what veg might still be available without getting third degree burns from the serving utensils. The only thing missing would be the dinner ladies to patrol around the tables!!

We had booked for 2.30pm and despite the place being extremely busy on the Sunday, we were shown to our table upon arrival at 2.15pm. The choice and quality of the carvery was as expected - excellent. A superb selection of both meats and vegetables; all fresh and piping hot. Very pleasing to see given how busy they were. Staff were efficient yet friendly and really couldn't have fault either food or staff. Behind the scenes a different matter. Toilets were very tired, urinals out of use and broken lock on the cubicle door. Very disappointing that Toby Carvery just don't see this side of the operation as equally important.

You may wonder what £11.95 for two courses (£3.60 to add a dessert) might bring but it proved to be a safe bet here for our gathering of about 18. Nothing too unusual but generous melon slices for my starter and, as carved meats are not my thing, salmon baked in paper - moist and freshly-cooked. Ample choice of carvery vegetables to select. Yes, they sit on the heat and the red cabbage, carrots and peas all dry out a bit, but at this sort of restaurant I think people are more interested in the roasties and I was told the roast potatoes in beef dripping were great, and I enjoyed the cauliflower and leeks and roast parsnips. Good service from a charming waitress and free crackers on the table - so great value.

Reservamos el asador Toby para la reunión familiar de Navidad, 8 familiares y amigos, ocupados en el bar esperando que la mesa esté lista, sin embargo, el servicio fue rápido. Llamado a la mesa no una larga espera, sin embargo, la señal para el asador tardó mucho, mucho más. La elección era buena y las verduras eran abundantes y una buena elección también, la salsa, sin embargo, era un poco soso y no tan bueno si tienes pavo, no carne. La comida estaba bien, incluso bueno si calculas lo que cuesta, algunos tenían espacio para un desierto, que también estaba bien. En general, NO está mal, sin embargo, lo pensaré dos veces antes de regresar, principalmente a la multitud, y esperaré mucho por la comida..

¿Por qué los restaurantes asadores como este tienen toda la atmósfera de una cantina de fábrica? Además de las interminables colas, están los derrames de alimentos y alimentos fríos que deben estar calientes (y viceversa) y tableros de mesa pegajosos porque nunca se limpian sino que se limpian con un paño bastante cuestionable que probablemente pone más de lo que se necesita. ¡apagado!

I’m in a wheelchair and all the staff can’t do more for me. Especially Luke. I now go in there at least once a week and would never go anywhere else now. They are more than excellent in all areas. The food is always very good. Waitresses are excellent in every way and in the help they give me. Luke is excellent in his hosting and also keeps an eye out in case I need to top up my drink which he does if he isn’t with other diners. It is now the only restaurant I use because the service and food is excellent

Popped in for a quick beer, normally pretty good, however, there were four loud guys swearing !! (Obviously locals) and it was only 7.45pm.

This place might appear a bit rough and ready at first but it's warm and welcoming and clearly popular. The buffet breakfast is good value with a good choice.

Friendly staff who are waiting at the door for you. Table already waiting for us 15 mins before our reserved time and during their busy period. Many tables already full and yet no long que to wait for food. Beautifully cooked turkey that was decently served, no pathetic thin slices. No over cooked Yorkies. No dry veggies. Full food containers so no scraping and they are regularly swopped with fresh. Staff so friendly they actually went to my partner whom was getting gravy, to ensure he gets his drinks order! What a considerate thing to do! I wish I got her name!

Visited a couple of weeks ago and ordered some meat rolls at the bar they duly arrived accompanied with a small bowl of soup, a Yorkshire pud and a bowl of gravy! Was very impressed with this so returned a week later and ordered the rolls again, this time we only received the rolls and a bowl of soup! Upon querying this the reason was we were told that it was a new chef and he had been sending too much out! ...pretty weak excuse if you ask me!!!

Hannah and Manny made sure we were looked after, they are always very friendly and helpful. Eating with a new born is never easy but they made sure we were served quickly and looked after so we could eat fast as you never know when he will wake up. The food was good quality and a decent portion size, great value for money. We will be back for sure.

Yo estaba un poco preocupado por una comida para llevar Carvery. Pero tengo que decir que me impresionó mucho. Fue una porción generosa. Creo que tienes mucha carne, verduras y patatas asadas. Te dan una taza llena de salsa por persona. Estaba inesperadamente muy impresionado y feliz. Definitivamente volvería a tener una comida para llevar Carvery

No he estado aquí por un tiempo, después de esta visita recordé por qué. El tallador debe sentir que paga las uniones de carne de su propio bolsillo, ya que las porciones que corta son minúsculas. El servicio es prácticamente inexistente, solo ver a los perezosos amontonados charlando. El precio refleja la calidad de la comida. No se ofrece postre, después de la comida, la camarera aparece con máquina de tarjetas Terrible visita ¡No vuelvo! !

No lo hicimos, olvidé reservar una mesa y tuve que comer en la zona del bar. El asado fue increíble como siempre y si comes en el bar, pagas las bebidas y la cena antes de comer y de esa manera no te sientes tentado a comer un desierto, por lo que Toby Carvery se está perdiendo porque tienes más posibilidades de no gastar tanto en comparación con el área del restaurante donde está más tentado a beber más y tener un desierto.

Reservamos en línea y pedimos mesa en una zona tranquila y nos dieron una mesa ideal al lado de la ventana frente al restaurante. Muy concurrida el viernes temprano en la noche pero servida rápidamente. Carvery fue excelente y el 1. 99 pudines caseros muy sabrosos. Dos refrescos, asados y pudines 25. 50. Tan buen valor. Volveremos pronto.

I visited for Sunday lunch as I have done for over a year following the Basingstoke restaurant’s closure. I rarely book since I don’t tend to plan my Sundays as I have to do that in in my working week. The food was very good as always and the service and staff friendly and efficient. The meat is first class and always cooked to its succulent best.

Never been to a Toby Carvery before so was looking forward to the experience, especially as it was a family members 50th. Not a good start with one of the party members slipping on the ice in the car park resulting in them being concussed and vomiting. Maybe, the car park should have been cleared of the ice, but not sure what the health and safety and liability issues are for this.

I received a voucher which was money off my main meal so we went and it was 20% off all our main meals which was the icing on the cake. The food was perfect and always go for the beef which I love. The service was excellent and food always excellent . I would always book if you go there because it is so popular . Believe you have not lived until you have experienced what a perfect evening is.

Always come here when we want to meet our family part-way. As a vegan they offer great food options, as well as giving me the bigger size of the two plates to allow me to fill up on as many vegetables as my heart desires - haha! Great value for money as well as space for 12+ people to all sit together. Great place, definitely recommend.

This is a well maintained, clean and comfortable accommodation with nicely decorated rooms, great staff, and beautiful flowers outside. I would note that the lighting in the room and bathroom is fairly low and the only outlet in the bathroom is for an electric razor. Also, the bathtub is on the higher side with no grab bars which can be a challenge for those of us who are getting older. There could be more area for storage in the bathroom for personal products. We would definitely recommend this motel and stay there again. There were several options for breakfast and it was delicious and the service was fantastic!

good food nicely prepared and well presented. I've enjoyed their chilli-con-carne twice before, both times spiced up to hot. this evening I had sirloin with a jacket potato. the steak arrived on a sizzler atop a bed of fried peppers, onions & mushrooms and the potatoe arrived with plenty of butter, a comprehensive salad topped with balsamic vinegar and half a grilled tomato. my daughter enjoyed their regular chilli. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu.
