I visited on the 14th of November, i had a lovely experience and my server Daniel was more than accommodating. He went above and beyond to give us the best experience and made sucre we were looked after. He is truly a credit to Toby Carvery :)))))

Last minute reservation before we went on holiday. We had the wraps for the first and it was so nice. The meat wasn’t dry at all. The staff were also lovely and welcoming. Our waiter Daniel was lovely and happy. We forgot my daughter’s tablet and he chased us over the road to give it to us. We will return again. Thanks

My 2 friends and I go to Toby’s roughly once a month for a good old catch up we sit for about 2 hours chatting away and on our visit today we have to say it’s the nicest breakfast we have had there in a long time.. everything tasted delicious… the lady who knows us and always reserves our table as requested (can’t think of her name sorry) is always lovely… the place was lovely and clean… we look forward to our next visit thank you

Was told by head office that staff do have to tie their hair back. This doesn't happen in P'boro. The manager said his staff don't have to and as they couldn't meet my requirements they didn't want me to return. This was a restaurant I used frequently.

Normally it is really good, but the roast potato's were not quite cooked, and my daughter had lots of fat on her beef, so didn't eat much, the male server was annoying as soon as we had finnished eating he came to the table then again with Bill and we were still drinking and had refillable and felt we had to not fill up again and leave, this was for my daughters birthday and wasn't an enjoyable experience with his pushy behaviour, for almost £30 this is not acceptable, puts me of returning.

Pretty good breakfast! Eggs very nice, as were the sausages. I avoided the bacon as it looked a bit…. Nah. Scrambled or poached eggs would have been a bonus but overall pretty good and very good value!

I'm not generally a fan of chain resturants, but we've just had a great-value roast dining. The whole team were friendly and helpful, while working very hard. The chef carved a good sized portion of turkey meat and there was a good selection of potatoes and veg (although most of the veg was stewed). Our plum/apple crumble pudding was huge, with crisp crumble, soft fruit and cold ice-cream. We had a voucher which made this a great value meal. Well done Toby, you've up'd your game and deserve a 5 star rating for food , service and value!

As shareholders we use Toby regularly and generally have no issues. This time round we were shown to the smallest table in the middle of the room. We ordered our drinks and visited the bathroom. Our drinks arrived. We ordered "J2O in a pint glass topped up with lemonade". These arrived in the standard J2O glass, c. 350ml glass, they tasted quite weak and well diluted. We felt like it was one bottle split between the two glasses with loads of lemonade. We told the waitress that the drinks were wrong, she took them away but then returned stating that she had been told it was a pint glass. LOL. Then to the carvery, the chef was well tight on the meat and then we found there was no 'mac n cheese '. So according to the chef if you visit during the week you CANNOT have 'mac n cheese'. Then all of a sudden chef said "I've put some in the oven, come back in 20 minutes". Well thanks but in 20 minutes we'll be finished! So all finished. The drinks charge was £8.40 for two small drinks - so - No tip. Except to Annie. Learn the size of your glasses. She tried to prove the J2O glass was a pint by pouring water from the pint into J2O and then considered that as there was water left in the the pint glass the J2O was bigger than a pint!! Please be careful - Next time you may be prosecuted by weights and measures! Oh yes, no apologies, no discount, just poor. By the way, the food in general was fine.

The lovely chef dishing out the meat was wonderful she helped my friend back to our table with her plateful and gave her a pot of gravy. The meat and veg were delicious and I told her do. The waitress who served us with drinks was very sweet and she brought us plates and cutlery afterwards as we had taken a birthday cake.

Hasn’t been to this Toby for years. Didn’t fancy doing a roast and washing up, let’s go to Toby, surely they are pros at it. Meat choice good. Lamb is fatty but I feel that they don’t see a really fatty bit and leave it aside, you are literally given whatever comes off. Beef the same. Turkey and gammon more lean. Roast potatoes ok. Cabbage and carrots ok. Cauliflower cheese absolutely tragic! Overcooked- almost must in a tasteless watery sauce. Gravy was tasteless. Only outstanding thing was the Yorkie. Glass of wine extortionate! Asked for their cheapest one at £6 a glass. Not available so had I ❤️ Shiraz £8 a glass! You can buy a bottle of this for £5.50. All in all £65 for 3 including one wine one beer and a J20 (£3.75) not good. Should have cooked my own. Poor. Waiter Mario friendly and professional but proper conveyor belt there. Will not return.

I’m a regular here every Saturday and managers and staff are always polite and work hard to please. Well I sat behind guest who put one star review (previous review) he should be ashamed of his comments. Moaning to the manager about his sausages being to brown lol. He was extremely rude to the manager after he politely said”we cook them all the same way”The guest then continued to mumble away after being told £4.89 for all you can eat breakfast is great value. My partner and I were shocked! If you want Lincolnshire sausages cooked to your choice go to a hotel or restaurant and pay there prices!!! And know the laws regarding the wearing of a mask. People like him make me sick! Stay at home they have a tough enough time as it is!!! Rant over

Popped in for a quick dinner.Found restaurant clean and tidy and applying Covid-19 rules of engagement.Was greeted by Francesca who booked us in helped us through the formalities of Covid @ Toby sat us down and took our order all in short time and with polite efficiency. Once we’d joined the one way system to gain access to the Carney we were not disappointed by the spread of 3 roasts and a multitude of beautifully cooked vegetables, both root and green. The portions were generous. Danga was there to help ensure all went to plan and finished the plates off with sauces and gravy, finally delivering our roast dinners to the table.The service was attentive but not overbearing ensuring our meal was meeting expectations and our drinks were topped up as required.The price of this service was an excellent value for money dining experience.Many thanks to Francesca and Danga for looking after the pair of us.We will be back.

We have just returned from our first visit since re-opening. We had a really positive experience and felt very safe. We were greeted at the door where our booking was confirmed. We were then shown to the hand sanitiser. After being seated we were talked through the new way of doing things. Foot markings lead the way to the carvery where the chef calls you forward. After plating the meat, he loads your plate up with vegetables according to your instructions and in generous portions.The cutlery and condiments are brought fresh to your table and the waitress tops up refillable drinks for you.The lovely waitress maintained a safe distance and was professional and attentive throughout. Tables are cleaned when vacated and exit is through a door to the car park.As ever, the food was delicious and the staff are to be congratulated on their responses to their new way of working and for ensuring safety all round.

Upon my arrival at the Carvery, it started as a positive experience as my two sisters and I were shown the sanitising station, which speaks volumes about the clear emphasis and safeguarding of the customers. After we were seated we were served by Jamie and her general demeanour towards us as a group was FANTASTIC!!! She was very enthusiastic and catered to our every need. However, my reason for my 3 star review is due to the clear poor organisation and distribution of the workload between the waitresses and the managers. It seemed as though the manager would not leave deck/food area along with the chief who may I add we round very rude and abrupt. From my perspective the poor waitresses seemed to always rushing around to be attentive to every customer as best as they could, which seemed very unfair on them as the floor manager should take a commanding role and not just leave all the work to be shared between two poor waitresses, which we felt was unfair and lazy. Unfortunately we weren’t able to catch the other waitresses name(she was short and wore her hair up), however we would like to add that she was, just like Jamie, very attentive to any request we had.

We had to wait some time to get seated, but once we finally were given our table we went up for our food fairly quickly. Sadly there was no beef, so not a four meat choice as promised in the advert. The refillable drinks machine had also broken, which wasn’t good. The service was very slow and I had to go up in the end to get our bill as the waitress wasn’t around.

Staff were RUDE! All of them, chefs and restaurant staff. Food was awful, what was left anyway. We had to ask 6 times for drinks. The restaurant was not busy it was a weekday evening 7/8pm. Dirty plates Every where, food area was filthy. Waitresses/waiters were all busy giggling around the bar or in the kitchen. The place needs closing or all new staff and managers!!

Went in here for a breakfast and was very pleasantly surprised. I would have to say the buffet style breakfast was very well presented with a wide range to choose from. The breakfast Yorkshire puddings where great. They use proper sausages, fresh mushrooms not out of a tin... Fresh tomatoes... Its an all you can eat style breakfast self server but quite honestly you should only need to visit the buffet once.

I've been a longtime fan of toby carvery but most have closed near me but we decided to call in and try the breakfast for the first time here as it broke up our journey to the coast. This one is very modern compared to most toby's, felt a bit soulless if I'm honest, the 1 staff we seen was very polite, told us how it worked, the choice was good, but none of the food was particularly hot, sausages were nearly cold, bacon was very fatty, the hash browns were nice. Real shame as I've in the past had some Brilliant breakfasts at toby, it wasn't bad, just could have been better.

Went here with a two course carvery groupon voucher on 27/02 at 18.00 hrs .When the waitress took our order we were told several starters were unavailable and the ice cream machine was faulty . She was not prepared to offer us any alternatives .After ten minutes I overheard someone being told only turkey was available from the carvery where upon I cancelled my starters and left the premises .This has to be the worst establishment I have ever visited and would advise to avoid .

Well ... we have often wondered what this would be like ..unfortunately not hot beans, hash bs, mushrooms, filter coffee, rubbery veg sausages - typical buffet food

The tables were still wet when we were seated. When queuing for the Carvery ,we were told that there would be at least a hours wait for Roast Beef with no apology given .The waiting staff seemed completely overrun ...The Chefs and Kitchen staff were not wearing hats The vegetable section was a complete mess and counter very dirty and Cauliflower cheese was finished without being replenished .Very disappointing ....

Visited here as a table of 7 and we booked ahead. On arrival there was only turkey left and not a very large selection on the carvery in terms of veg and sides. Some staff were friendly, others made you feel like they didn’t want you to be there. The only good thing was the price. But we still Won’t be returning!

We haven't been to this Toby in years, good few yrs! We used to be regular when it was under old management! David was the head chef and though he was known as the grumpy carver I always got on with him and never had a bad meal. The food used to be fresh and full with clean areas around the food! We used to get served promptly with smiling staff and on the ball managers! Well we stopped coming after the main staff left as it wasn't great and we started going to The Farmers in yaxley! After a good few years we thought we'd try again hoping for change.....I was so shocked. Cold scraps of food, half the meats not available, lumpy gravy, staff that made you feel incontinent for asking for a drink and VILE DIRTY AREAS around the food and gravy. Chefs that stood there talking and waitresses busy giggling around the bar. We won't be returning, get back David and Daniel! The restaurant used to be so good with atmosphere and lovely food but no any more god knows what's happened its so sad reading some reviews from regulars feeling the same. R.I.P Toby Carvery it would seem.

My wife and I took my elderly mother for lunch. We arrived at the restaurant only to be told we couldn’t eat because we hadn’t booked. The restaurant was less than half full at approx 1pm.

Four of us ate here in the restaurant. Starters wild mushrooms in cream/garlic on bread. Mains - gammon, braised beef, pork belly and fish and chips. Desserts apple and rhubarb crumble. The service was excellent and food hot and tasty. Excellent portions and well priced. Only one suggestion- the crumble top needed cooking/browning more. it was pale and tasted floury. Also be nice to have some background music as only a couple of tables occupied.
