Toby Carvery Ormskirk in West Lancashire

Very good service and food.cook very goog meat was a1

Visited for a drink enjoying the glorious weather.. great outside seating area off the bar. Pleasantly surprised. Welcomed by the fabulous Gemma. Great as I always associate the place with a roast…. It seems it’s more than welcoming to passing drinkers also … well done Gemma you have gained a new regular

We had a carvery potatoes was cold and the veg was very dry and old looking this is the worse carvery I have had at a toby and I will not be coming back for a second 1

Had a great morning and breakfast with Keely and Sophie; couldn't do enough for me! Im a regular and always look forward to coming back for the food and customers service

Jodie was awesome really friendly and good service!

Very good food and staff are very helpful

Not the greatest of welcomes to start off with, waitress was quite abrupt. The girl on the carvery didn't look at all comfortable doing the job and jumped straight onto her phone as soon as the queue died down. I found the meats available were dried out. I ended up just having the beef as I couldn't face the other meats. To be fare, the beef was very tender and tasty. The veg were a let down too, all overcooked and soggy. One of our party chose the tomato soup, well, it was more like tomatoe paste, very, very thick. needless to say, won't rush back.

Always a pleasant experience whenever we visit here and the staff are always really friendly and polite.

Amazing meats. Lovely staff all smiling.

This has got to be the best toby in liverpool

I really don’t like leaving a negative review of anywhere really, but willing to make an exception here. Wow. Called in for breakfast this morning and I thought there had been a bar fight over the food. It was terrible. Really bad. The hash browns looked like they been steamed originally then battered into an unrecognisable pulp. When I asked a member of the staff if there were anymore, she might as well have said ‘ Am I bovvered’.. The whole hot plate looked like a disaster. Eggs floating in oil, mushrooms that looked like they’ve been braising for hours, sausages broiled, not fried and evidently, oven roasted and over cooked bacon… And this was no cheap doo either. Have ate at other Toby’s, but this place was a carcrash. Worth driving on. If you like it, crack on. Never again for me.

Very nice staff, avoid weekends if you want a cheap carvery. Lunchtime is always quiet (at least on Saturday)

The staff were lovely and the service was amazing however the carvery was absolutely shocking, the yorkies were like cardboard, all the veggies were dried and shrivelled up, the cauliflower was hard, it had all clearly been sat there for a long time including the gravy which was full of lumps and covered in a skin. I have been places for cheaper and had better quality food. I won’t be surprised if we’re unwell from the food.

Usually dine in but food has been dry and hasn't been up to Toby scratch recently ordered take out and it now has pit me off going here now the 4 portions I got each would not feed a 5 year child poor portions sloppy and burnt put me of so won't return here sadly.

I thought the service was great my server keely extra care with our food and time and was very lovely

Had a lovely Sunday roast - served by Sarah who really looked after us. A great atmosphere - will be back

Great meal at Toby Carvery, Ormskirk. Food was good but our server, Thea, was absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

Had a lovely experience here. Food was great and had the most lovely helpful young girl named Thea who couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be back.

My review is a little late as I dined last week. I very rarely leave reviews but felt that in this case I was lucky enough to have a young girl with glasses her name was Thea. She was attentive and pleasant. She made my wife and I’s evening. Well done young lady.

Came in for a Sunday roast with my friends and the server we had (her name was Sarah) went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Was lovely food and made 100x better by the service provided, will be back again soon. Thankyou!

I had a lovely experience and thought the service was lovely especially with my server Keely as she was very friendly

Really good quality and value meal at the Toby Carvery in Ormskirk! Meat was cooked well and portions are really generous! We were served by Thea and she was really attentive! Made a real fuss of my daughter. Lovely friendly girl! Would recommend as we had a really well cooked carvery!

Was served by Cole and my meat was carved by Layla, both lovely and were happy to help when I had questions. Will definitely be visiting Toby carvery ormskirk again!

The food was amazing and piping hot, Alfie and Layla was really friendly at the carvery deck. I would recommend visiting Toby carvery ormskirk

Amazing food and the friendliest staff around

Food wasn’t great the gravy was so watery and me and my whole family of 5 was all sick for a few days try to tell them to be told it weren’t down to there restaurant because I didn’t go to doctors because I know doctors can’t give me anything for are symptoms which that was the only food we all had the same and all had the same symptoms never again will I go there

Great, warm and good value for money. Really enjoyed, thank you!

Understandably Mother's Day is a busy day for the restaurant, but this Mother didn't feel very indulged. We were seated in a room to the rear of the restaurant which was like a canteen, scruffy tables and chairs, no atmosphere. I appreciate that the carvery staff had many customers to serve, but the plates were cold, the meat and Yorkshires were thrown onto the plate like a conveyor belt. The cabbage was cold and unappetising, the collie hard, roasties were soggy, gravy cold and tasteless. The gravy counter was messy and there was food on the floor. The overall experience was disappointing to say the least. Would not go to Ormskirk Toby carvery again.

Absolutely shocking portion size for a near £16 roast on a Sunday . Disgusted . Whoever made it up needs retraining . Shameful

Had nice food every time. Personally do not recommend going after 7 as it is usually the remaining food till closing and it can be dry

We ordered a takeaway for 4. No stuffing arrived or veggie pie or a dessert. Quick to take your money but not to apologise. Don't order a take away from here!

We went at Christmas and the food was awful but thought it was because they were so busy. Went again two days ago and had vouchers, the food was disgusting shrivelled and dried up, roast spuds burnt to a crisp, vege was watery, you could not get your teeth through the Yorkshire pudding, took the dog and sat in the bar even he wouldn't eat it and he loves a bit of meat and a Yorkshire. Never again

No roast potatoes, sent the wrong meats, gravy pots weren’t even half full and they forgot the dessert

No roast potatoes on any of the 3 roast dinners

I had a set delivery time for 5.15 and veg gravy did not get veg gravy and was 20 mins late

Server is absolutely brilliant Will you are a credit to the team x

Booked here on line requesting an adult area. Upon arrival we were shown to our seats in what appeared to be the children's play area although we are not against children we were out for a quiet Sunday dinner. We were told that these were the only seats available at that time. We ordered our food and went to the carvery that looked delicious, wrong as having returned to our table and started to eat found that the food was luke warm, the hottest part of the meal was the stuffing and the gravy. My wife passed comment to the waiter when he came to ask the obligatory question if the food was alright and she stated that the food was not hot. We got a whispered rely such as 'Oh' with no offer to try to reheat it in a microwave or replacement. The accessible toilet was being used by females as one of their toilets was locked and when I eventually got to use this I walked out in disgust as to the way some people live, having to go into the men's and struggle to use the facilities. This is the first and last time that we will visit this establishment, I wasted a Christmas gift card on a meal that was well below standard and the waiter had the audacity to ask if we wanted our change. If I had left a tip it would be to make sure your customers are satisfied with your food and service,

As a person on my own it's nice to be able to get a roast. The roast potatoes were burnt but meat was lovely and veg was good to my liking will order again

Great staff well clean place and unlimited breakfast, unlimited hut drinks in morning only but it is unlimited cold soft drinks all day well worth your time

Great food as always ! Amazing and friendly service by Jodie made for a great experience

It had been a long day and i was very tired and being especially thick. The girl who seated us was lovely and really patient. Poor girl had to tell me about 4 times it was £6 carvery day but I didn’t even know that was a thing and was just not understanding. She was very patient and really polite! Jodie - thank you for being lovely :)

Great place, really good service from Jodie who is always lovely every time we visit! :)

Food was lovely, staff (especially Jodie) was lovely

Jodie was lovely the best member of staff by far!!

Alisa the server was very pleasant and accommodating

A decent branch of Toby. Spacious and not too busy despite being Sunday. Food was well stocked and refreshed and staff were all good.

Always a pleasant experience.. Really good carvery,, good choice.. Pleasant and friendly staff..

The young lad that took us to our table and served us was brilliant. Very polite and did ask if everything was OK, a credit to your team. I didn't know his name.

Fantastic experience! Brilliant service! Friendly and efficient server… great food and a happy ending 😊

Jordan was great waiter great laugh

Great food and atmosphere, restaurant was also very clean and welcoming

The pot wash that is better than all others, ewan

Jill was very welcoming and all the food was boss!

Lovely place for a meal and the staff are so friendly and welcoming

Just eaten here and it was all lovely and fresh and beyond that the waiting on staff were lovely particularly the young tall lad there. He was friendly and approachable beyond his role as was the young lady. Thanks guys, will be back xx

Very nice pup good food I will definitely go back

Not been to a Toby in years.. I was early 20s last time so maybe a bit naive. Our greeting was great? Delivered to a table but having not been for such a long time was left feeling unsure on how to order/pay/collect food and had to go and explain and ask 'how it works'. Drink were prompt. Meat was nice veg maybe a bit over cooked. Atmosphere was not bad.. Tuesday afternoon, big venue, oldies getting lunch etc.. some background music would've maybe distracted from Janice's toy boy or how they don't use textbooks in school but it was some light entertainment if nothing else. Wheelchair accessible, clean environment no major gripes and would visit again

Great spot for food. Everyone really enjoyed their food and it was a great experience. Plenty of choice, nice selection of all of your roast dinner favourites and everything was cooked cooked well. Ewan was really helpful but also a big thank you to the whole team

Food was cold Driver asked me to come out to the road ....

Food was absolutely lovely. Thank you to all the staff. Will, you are a star. Super customer service 👌🏼

2 roast potatoes, a teaspoon of carrots. very disappointed with the portions.

Slow service and not the tastiest food. Frozen peas! But OK when it's half price!

Decent buffet breakfast, nice and peaceful midweek with plenty of space. Frequent visitor for away from office work meetings

Always get a seat friendly staff and good food0

Wasn’t expecting much but wow! Service - Waited at the entrance to be seen, 5 members of staff to busy taking to each other or looking at phones, finally shown to a table & had to ask myself if it’s table service. Hygiene - How they even have a Hygiene rating is beyond me! Seats ripped & filthy, sticky tables. The hot lamps covered in food, hair and god knows what else. More amusing is the carvery itself has no glass to stop people coughing & sneezing all over the food that has been sat under a heat lamp all day. It’s literally the perfect environment to culture the next pandemic! Menu had mediocre options, definitely wasn’t going to order the carvery, didn’t feel like contracting herpes, I chose the Mac & Cheese Yorkshire wrap, only to then be told 10 minutes later they didn’t have any wraps. I did chuckle when they listed Heinz soup for £4.50, you can’t make a tomato soup? Kids food arrived, sausages could be classed as a lethal weapon, potato’s stuck to the plate and the Yorkshire pudding was stone cold. Short summary - Go to McDonald’s

Greeted on arrival pub seemed nice and clean on entrance, how ever we were shown to table in an anti-room that I can only describe as 1960’s working men’s club. Cold, dreary, mismatched furniture, ripped chairs, chunks of veneer missing of tables and a lovely sheen of unclean on the tables, knives and forks also had grimy feel of not clean. Went to collect our food and drinks. Drink station dirty, selected carvery meats that where lovingly slapped on our plates by some one who really didn’t love his job, plates also had the unclean feel, rough to the touch probably caused by a dirty overloaded dishwasher or steamer. Vegetables well carrots looked like they had been dehydrated, peas as hard as bullets, soggy parsnips and roasties. Next gravy and sauce station wow complete mess sauce and gravy slopped everywhere, none of the sauces marked as to what they might be and lots of double dipping. Finally in for a penny in for a pound plus the fact I was hungry because most of the carvery was inedible we ordered desert. Now you would think there’s not much damage you can do to a caterers Fudge cake how wrong you would be it had been nuked to the point it could of spontaneously combusted luckily the ice cream was edible. Will we go back to this carvery never, there’s much better In Aintree and St helens

On entering the pub looked clean, greeted by a server and shown to our table and that is where everything changed. Our table was in a grubby side room opposite the toilets. The room was cold, carpet dirty, chairs looked like they had been picked up from the local recycling centre, table stained and chunks missing from the veneer (lovely), could of given prison canteen a run for its money. Ordered drinks and food and went up to collect carvery, you could feel the food remains from the dishwasher on your plate, the server (man) lovingly slapped some meats on my plate, helped myself to veg , peas reminiscent of bullets, carrots look like they had come out of the dehydrator, parsnips soggy, roasties greasy. Everything unbelievably under seasoned. Gravy station, nothing was labelled, sauces splattered everywhere, dirty spoons. Everything just looked like no one really cared. Bare in mind you can get a good roast dinner in most pubs for £15 with service. Took food back to our prison canteen. Food was meh that’s about the nicest thing I can say about it. Foolishly ordered dessert, well in for a penny and all that, chocolate fudge cake had been lovingly zapped to the point just before it bursts into flames. Well that was my 1st and last experience, I believe Aintree is much nicer but think I’ll just skip it unless I feel the urge to eat prison canteen food. Have to say staff where lovely all very young and probably earning a pittance

Great meal at the Ormskirk Toby Carvery, lovely service by the friendly Jordan, always a treat

Server was awesome and kind, food was great

Lovely experience at Toby Ormskirk as always, beautiful food, and great service. Fresh and plentiful as always The restaurant is always well maintained and it is just an overall lovely experience

Food was lovely and waiter Jordan was excellent

Jordan was very helpful, professional and friendly. The food was great quality.

We visit here a lot and rarely get anything other than an excellent meal and good value for money. We received an email for half price mid week roast so had to go. Great meal and a bargain. Roast pork is now a regular choice, and the best in my opinion, and a great selection of well cooked veg, great roasties and the best mash out there. My only slight disappointment was the gravy being too thin. With being busy everything was turning over quickly, and replaced quickly, so all the food was nice and hot. Staff usually friendly here, young lad who served us was a delight. Thank you

Nice and chill atmosphere, booths so comfy it healed my sciatica. Food was an out of body experience. Staff were all sound. Excellent service 10/10.

Meat was a bit fatty but I don’t know what you’d really expect. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was nice. Would go again.

I went tonight with family. As usual everyone was really helpful and kind. Keely helped carry our dinner and due to how busy it was Alyssa queued to get another carvery for us that we were taking away. We sat in the bar area and all of the barstaff were great too. X

Nice atmosphere and good drinks meat wasn’t great but okay

Jodie was very accommodating and alyssa was very welcoming overall no complaints

Jodie was fantastic and nothing was to much of an ask during our trip to Toby carvery, just how customer service should be!

Fantastic Food and Friendly Team, Thank you!

Love the Ormskirk Toby Carvery it's delicious,staff are Friendly atmosphere is relaxing.

There was no meat options so I had to order a meatless one. Came without the Camembert and without gravy unlike the photo showed

Decent food, not exceptional but just what is needed to avoid cooking and washing up at home! Always good service, most recently with Jordan

Excellent cooked meats... Great Roast Potatoes Great Service, Thankyou Jordan

Very poor cold over cooked food

We have always travelled the 40 min from home to eat here as we've always had the best carvery experience. Today was terrible , we went to get served at about 12.20 pm the dining area probably had 3 couples in it so when we saw the dried out/well carved meat on a lot of the roasts we were shocked. We then realised they had to be yesterday's left overs as the turkey and lamb had so much meat missing the carcass was showing surrounded by dry meat. My husband said the beef was terribly dry it was only the Gammon that was tender. Some of the veggies looked like they were yesterday's too. We were so disappointed so will definitely try somewhere else in future.

My Two Sons Had Booked A Carvery Here For My 50th Birthday Meal Even Though It Was Busy We Had A Lovely Lady Waiting On The Table We Had A Lovely Carvery Nice And Hot 🔥 ❤️

I wish I could put a picture on. absolutely awful. I asked for gammon and beef. I got fat and rough ends of gammon. The cauliflower cheese, had no cheese. the mash potato was a block of potato. I threw it straight in the bin. :( should be no star, but doesn't allow you too.

at this Toby in ormskirk you always get a lovely service and there dinners are always lovely and delicious thanks keep up the great work had the Christmas dinner Service 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️

Food OK but the plates were disgusting. I appreciate it's a busy period but you know if plates are clean or not before putting them out to use. I must have gone through at least a dozen before I picked the cleanest of the bunch. Numerous people were complaining about the same thing!

Where to start. Shown to are seats and where told someone would be over to take our drinks order, after 15 minutes I went to the bar and ordered a pint of bitter and a glass of lager shandy. I got a pint of shandy that had soda water not lemonade in it. FOOD. There was no lamb or beef left, so made do with turkey and pork, both were dry and tuff. All the vegetables that were left were over cooked and cold. I also had to ask for some gravy and other sauces as there was none left. It was 4.45 in the evening and was VERY quiet. Over all it was rubbish.

THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. I arrived on Saturday 14/12/24 and we where shown to our seat, after 15 minutes waiting for someone to take our drinks order i gave up and order at the bar. Ordered a pint of bitter and a glass of shandy, got a pint of shandy when my wife started to drink It, she said it tasted funny. They had put soda water in it not lemonade. FOOD. Went for carvery and was told that beef and lamb wouldn't be ready for 15 minutes, so made do with turkey and pork. All the vegetables where over cooked and cold. I had to ask for gravy and other sauces as there was none out. Over all the meal was rubbish. I will not be going to this Tobys again.

Ordered a breakfast from here, missing items!! Told to contact uber eats. Woman was rude on the phone and put the phone down on me. Incapable of asking the 'chef' to not put mushrooms on it. Food freezing cold. Delivery lady was nice. £12 for 2 sausages, 2 bacon , spoonful of beans and a load of mushrooms all slopped into a container. Gross.

Excellent service and the food so tasty

Great food and great service. Regular visit this carvery which is called The Morris Dancers. Highly recommend

Ella was our server and she was absolutely brilliant, 10/10 service and such a positive experience. Food was lovely, all fresh and definitely will be returning!

Can't go wrong with a Toby carvery. Good food, good value, very busy place, i had booked in advance to save being turned away.

A lovely evening with great friends. Food was fantastic and so reasonable.

Fantastic carvery. Plenty of meat veg ect.beautiful place .staff lovely . The price of the carvery is fantastic u coudnt cook it at home the the price u charge. don't think u should beable to go back for 2nds.saw guy getting 2nds then ask for take away box. He also put in some he left from 1st meal. This is not right .but some people are greedy . But great place .will definitely be going back again xx thanks guy's.

Excellent roast dinner, lamb & beef tasted fantastic. Sides good too. Jodie, our server, very helpful
