Toby Carvery Restaurant in Halton

We were pleasantly surprised that at 6:30 on a bank holiday Friday night we were served promptly by attentive friendly staff and the food was fresh and tasty. We were able to sit outside with our dog to eat

Esto es lo que es, un restaurante asador no alternativa a menos que quieras tener una opción vegetariana. Yo sólo comer una cantidad muy pequeña, debido a una operación, cuando pregunté si podía conseguir un niño/pequeña porción" que estaba en contra de las reglas". Pedimos cada una de las 6 entradas, que eran todas muy decepcionante, muy soso, no tiene sabor. El carvery estaba bien, pero tenía que pedir carne para salir luego esperar 15 minutos y la carne era muy grasos. Después de la cena en el plato no, así que tuve que pedir la salsa de nuevo y esperar. Siendo quisquilloso pero 3 veces pedí mi bebida para venir sin hielo y 3 veces había hielo! Lo difícil que puede ser conseguir 5 bebidas justo? No lo recomendaría, pero sé que baratas no volvería.

Visité el Toby Carvery en Widnes a mediados de mayo con mi madre de 80 años, mi hija de 3 años y amigo vegetariano. Elegimos este restaurante debido a la gran variedad para todos. Toby Carvery sabía ofreció opciones vegetarianos, y el pastel de hongos champiñones era delicioso. Es bueno que puedes servirte como muchas verduras como desee y que ya no son cocinados en mantequilla (ideal si eres un vegetariano). La única verdura que no es vegetariano es la coliflor en salsa de queso, pero nuestro camarero nos preguntó si nos gustaría algunos coliflor sin la salsa de queso y nos trajeron una gran parte!Mamá, quien es bastante limitado cuando se trata de probar la comida, estaba contento con la elección asados y mi hijo de 3 años disfrutó su pasta de tomate con palitos de vegetariano. La única decepción fue que el menú de postres. Aunque hay un montón de opciones para veganos encantador, sólo hay un postre vegano (arroz de coco budín). Por desgracia, mi amigo vegetariano tiene intolerancia a coco, así que tuve que ir sin un postre. Uno o dos alternativas, incluso un buen sorbete plato, no volvería a perder! También sería bueno ofrecer leche de soja o leche no lácteos equivalentes para café. Mi amigo vegetariano tuve que beber café y ver como todos metido en nuestro llameantes.Sólo algunos ajustes a los menús para acomodar la creciente población vegetariana sería rápidamente transformar Toby Carvery para mejor!

Popped in for a carvery as was looking for a great Sunday dinner. I wasn't disappointed and the choice was impressive. Was very busy but didn't wait very long to get served. Would definitely get back

Un ventilador de Toby Carvery donde vivimos en el sur, pensamos en probar uno mientras visitaba a mi hijo. La comida era tan buena, Yorkshires genial. Mucha variedad de vegetales, incluyendo asado Butternut Squash. El queso coliflor no era el mejor, pero en general es un sabroso asado. No pide la factura pero la camarera vino y ponerlo en nuestra mesa, que era un poco desagradable. Entonces ella tenía que remodelar como mi hijo quería un desierto. Los baños estaban limpios, sin embargo el olor de orina desde el caballeros era desagradable. Mi pareja necesitaba usar el baño y comentó que, efectivamente, había un fuerte olor a orina. Si no fuera por estos pequeños problemas me hubiera dado otra estrella.

Vine aquí ayer por la tarde con mi madre y mi hija de 2 años. El servicio era fantástico, especialmente del hombre que sirve el asador. Él era muy amable y servicial. La cena asado era deliciosa, con una variedad de comida y verduras asadas. El único problema que tuvimos fue la cucharas eran muy caliente al tacto cuando sirve las verduras. Sin duda regresaría de nuevo. Asado asados mejores que he tenido.

He estado en este restaurante "dos veces", y las dos veces en menos de 24 horas he tenido problemas estomacales. El lugar tiene un aire de descuido, de haber visto lo mejor hace algún tiempo, y no estaba impecablemente limpio. Aunque no tuve el asador de carne, la gente no duda en mi partido - y el puerco, un aspecto servidor Chef/estaba tomando el mickey con la cantidad de carne que sirvió para su carvery mis compañeros. Él no podía haber rebanado más encubierto, de hecho las raciones no eran incluso rodajas - eran más como algunas penosas desmenuzada que parecía embarrassingly perdido restos en el plato. Aunque mis compañeros eran demasiado educado/reservados a decir nada, me sentí avergonzado y agraviada en su nombre, francamente. Las verduras parecía que había sido preparada sin cuidado o estilo, y todo el asunto fue decepcionante. El hecho de que podríamos volver para recoger verduras top ilimitado era irrelevante, ya que no estaban lo suficientemente apetecible para que quieres volver. Tengo la impresión de que toda la creación estaba en la cantidad de comercio", no "calidad de estándares. La única cosa verdaderamente buena podía marchan y agradable fue la naturaleza susceptible de algunos de los jóvenes y el personal que sirve las camareras. Evitar y pasar más sabio en otro lugar.

Staying locally on a business trip, we decided to opt for the carver on the first night. The food was good, the restaurant clean and the staff friendly. We returned 2 mornings later for breakfast and again, left satisfied and full!

Necesitaba una comida rápida y este era ideal. Me di cuenta de un montón de gente comida de acumulación en su plato y luego no comer la mitad, un montón de desperdicios. Concurrido y es ideal para familias, también teníamos el desayuno buffet como cruzando la carretera desde Travelodge. Pero una cosa creo que el lugar podría hacer con una limpieza profunda, un montón de polvo alrededor de menús y comida/bebida en paredes y toques de cristal.

Stopped here spontaneously on a long car journey. Quick, friendly service. The food was the usual chain carvery - tasty enough but could be a little warmer. Plenty of meat given though, which isn't always the case. It's not gourmet but you know what to expect and where can you fill up on a huge plate of food for £6.49 these days?

Enjoy visiting the toby carvery in widnes the food is great and the staff are friendly and always helpful

Popped in for a quick snack. There is a vegetarian section. Starters are disappointing from a vegetarian point of view. Ended up just having garlic bread. Service and food were fine though.

If you are familiar with Toby Carvery restaurants you will know they serve three meats and self service vegetables and gravy at under a tenner with drinks. Great value for family diners. This particular branch is always clean and well serviced with friendly staff. Worth checking out !

Came in with the family for a meal! I can honestly say one of the best meals we have ever eaten! Food was delicious and service was fantastic. Would highly recommend :)

Came out on Mothers Day about 10:15am. Food was nice: Service crap. The girl serving on the bar was lovely, but all the other staff terrible. No one told us what time it finished and it was all cleared away when we went to get some more. The tea and coffee was not cheap either so rather disappointing to not be able to get a refill. Probably won't return.

excellent service meal and can not praise all the staff who work here as make you feel like you are royalty hats off to all off the staff in front and behind the counter love your food and company

The staff in there were terrible they made us feel uncomfortable, the service was appalling, no one had a clue what they was doing what a waste of a Saturday afternoon would never go back there again.

We come here quite regularly. Most of the time the food is hot and fresh. Good vegetarian selection too. Staff always welcoming and friendly. Sunday's are extremely busy and long queues so we avoid Sundays.

I found it very good on the carvery front, food cooked by chefs. Service was pretty good, price very good as well, didn't have to wait for a table.

We visited after a trip to the ice rink around the corner, the food was lovely and well priced, the staff although it was busy were pleasant, smiley and helpful. We'll be back!

Christmas Day dinner was brilliant everything was perfect from the table been set to the 3 course meal well done as we had traveled from the Isle of Man Well done

Decent carvery serving four meats (turkey, beef, gammon, and pork), Yorkshire puddings, and various veg options. A fairly standard pub chain with typical decor, but good value at circa £7.

I came with here with my friends for a meal out we have been several times and each time is a different experience. Our last visit here we walked in and asked the tanned petite brunette hair pinned back waitress on the door how she was as she looked grumpy as sin to only be ignored so we asked for a table of 6 to then be ignored again even though she was standing right in front of us. Disgusting behaviour from someone who is supposed to make you feel welcomed!!! She also ignored us when stood at the bar to order our drinks whilst the young bloke was busy. Once we were queing up for food we had waited almost 20 minutes for gravy resulting in the food to be freezing. There was no mint sauce and no cranberry sauce.Other staff members didnt even come to see how we were but instead stood at the bar having a laugh about. Overall the food was average and customer service was appalling!!!!

I am writing to say that we are disgusted with he treatment we had today at our family meal We booked a table for 1pm on Tuesday 6th December 2016 for nine peopleAs we arrived we were shown to our table as the staff seemed busy we went to the bar to order drinks, two members of our table where informed that they had no brandy and no Bells Whisky which is a very popular brand we were to say the least shockedWe then ordered our food and I must say the young man who served us was very polite and kept apologising The food was average and on choosing our carvery meal their was no gravy only horseradish flavoured gravy which is not good with all types of meatBetween our meal we once again ordered drinks and were told that their was no Bacardi this was the last straw After bringing our complaint to the Manager we were given a discount off the price of the meal We would have preferred to have paid full price for a wonderful meal and excellent service I must say we all agreed that the young man who served us could not be blamed in anyway

We booked the Toby about a month ago for our family xmas get together, had been here before so felt confident that we would have a good meal.Alas, from the start things went pear shaped! When we were greeted & told them we were the party of 9 for the Christmas fare the young lady looked at us, as if we all had 2 heads!!!! Quickly they took us to our "festive table" which consisted of nine xmas crackers, nine white serviettes, & nine forks!!!!Waited ages for someone to take our drinks orders & eventually gave up & headed for the bar.Now the first drink ordered was a whisky & was told they had none!! The only alternative was a Jack Daniels! Next order was a brandy & again, sorry there's no brandy!!!At last our appointed waiter arrived at the table.He was the only saving grace about this place, took our orders & was the bearer of bad news as one off the starters had finished!!!! My Brother took it well & ordered the Prawn & crab cocktail along with 4 others. When it arrived it was missing a key ingredient, the crab!!!!Our waiter was mortified & passed our complaint to the chef.He returned saying that we would receive a discount if that was acceptable.The carvery itself was fine until we arrived at the "gravy & condiment area" to find there was no Gravy!!!! There was a pot of Horseradish gravy & that was OK for those who had beef but not acceptable if your having other meats!!!!All this time our waiter, Nat, was trying his best, even though he was seeing to so many other tables, serving at the bar, fetching cups & glasses from the dishwasher, so so understaffed!Those who had sweets said they were delicious, so the food isn't really the problem, it's obviously the management!Nat came to take our last drinks order & another brother ordered a Bacardi & coke & low & behold, there was no Bacardi!!! We did receive a discount but this was our Christmas Day Out!Just before we left the Chef came out of the kitchen & started shouting at the manager & the atmosphere was not good.20 out of 10 for our waiter Nat, he was a star!!!!

Just had a carvery with my Husband , I had Turkey & beef - both dry,the veg looked like it had been left on the server for hours , the gravy had a thick skin on it & to top it off the amazing looking Yorkshire puddings were a let down , we could not eat them as they swimming in oil !! The girl serving was happy & festive though!

Took the family here today. Staff were faultless. Nothing was too much trouble. The whole team were attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent. Fresh and hot with lots of choice in terms of Sunday lunch. The price was excellent value with refillable drinks. We would absolutely visit here again. Thanks to the staff!

very friendly staff. a bright and welcoming atmosphere, the carvery is of good value. well worth visiting.

I except it was Sunday but poor service from the minute I walked in don't mind waiting for a table but when staff are stood around the bar discussing last nights night out and look at you as if you are an inconvenience to them when you ask for a drink. The food it's self was the standard carvery Food ok but not the best I've had would I return probably not better places around even on a busy Sunday could do better

Went for breakfast the only positive was the girl who served the drinks was pleasant and customer service focused. The rest of the staff had a I can't be bothered attitude. There was a mediocre choice of food as the rest was being prepared which tasting the beans meant reheated in the microwave and yes I did try one of the famous breakfast Yorkshires which was uncooked and cold in the middle. The toaster is an absolute joke put bread through twice and still looked like bread!!!! Cold food ignorant staff sticky tables think that sums up the experience!!

Visited here as it was across the road from the Travelodge. Had real ale on offer (Doombar on my visit). Main food options were carvery, but as a vegetarian there wetre about 6 choices of non-meat (including 2 vegan). Food very nice and plenty of veg to help yourself to. As a veggie, though, be aware that the whole places onbiously sn#mells quite strongly of meat/roasts!

Whomever runs this place should be prosecuted for the state of it we visited just waited 14 minutes for eggs the food display counter is an utter disgrace the toaster I am well informed has been broken for a length of time toasting only one side causing large queues whilst plates of food go cold I ended up complaining & having piece of toast with sausage & beans will never ever return. You should be ashamed of yourselves & certainly be looking at whomever runs the place.

Good food, good service, good staff, good value. Hot fresh food. Comfortable seating and not squashed in.

i won a prize in work for a meal for 2 we have only just got round to going we where given a good welcome and service from Nat nothing was too much trouble we had a choice of 4 meats on the carvey and lots of veg and roast potatoes the chef was very nice and served us our choice of meat also a large yorkshire pud and we helped ourselves to potatoes and veg also gravy if you wanted it we also had dessert which i was given to take home as i could not east it as i had enough to east from the carvery

Nice but not enough meat and gravy too thin had to ask for thicker gravy Value for money and tasty Staff are nice and helpful comfortable seating area

Went yesterday for late dinner early tea and food was lovely, the turkey melted in your mouth, the chef was so funny. The staff where very helpful getting us a highchair and all smiles. The atmosphere was spot on and it made a change not to see people rushing around. Would we go back?? We sure will

It was a Monday night meal - just needed a decent meal after a busy day.Full range of meats available, and load of veg, simple food and good service, plus a reasonable price.

The food was bland the roast potatoes so hard could have broke windows, undercooked veg, watery gravey. The saving grace the mint sauce without that wouldn't have tried any of it. Would have rather had a ready meal roast. Cheaper and would have tasted better. Don't bother wasting your time and money.

Had a lovely carvery last night. Food was delicious. We were looked after by a friendly lad think his name was Fletcher. He was exceptional. Only been there two weeks but was very efficient and looked after us so well. Will definately go there again.

As far as the breakfast goes it was lovely. Myself being Gluten Free and been able to eat everything but the sausages was music to my ears. The price was exceptional! 5 x adults & 5x children and only just over £50 including juice and coffee.The only negative I have is when you walk in it says please wait to be seated. After 5 minuets no one appeared. Bar staff looked at us and didn't say a word. Turns out you go to the bar, pay then take your seat. If your a regular not an issue but we had never been before so stood around, but that wasn't a major issue just a little inconvenient.

Love place never fails, good choice of meats and vegetables and the gravy is the best my favourite is the minted but they don't always have it on.

Mostly a nice place it used to be brilliant. We came back from holiday and went straight to Toby's for a decent meal it can be very hit and miss now but on Friday it was the nicest Toby's I've had in ages my little girl barely eats anything but on this occasion she had quite a lot even a Yorkshire pudding I was very happy with the range and quality though the meat seems a bit skimpy since the changeover. It also depends on the carver I had an OK amount but my husband had a different carver (we swap sitting with out child) he had barely anything so I had to give him some of mine. If you guys would sort the meat out it would be a five star again. Nicest Pepsi in Widnes :)

I've been staying at the Travelodge over the road a lot recently on business and come here each evening to while away the time before settling down in front of the telly. My experience of carvery style dining is limited but I've eaten here most nights and found the food to be excellent, and good value for money regardless of time or demand. The staff are all very pleasant and helpfull. Would recommend if working away nearby or just drop in if you're local.

Went here for breakfast, never seen so many people in one place. Food is hot and plenty of it, table was dirty which let the place down. Overall good value for money.

We hadn't been to a Toby Carvery for a long time, so decided to go on a whim. It was a Monday, so was very quiet, which was fine with us, as it meant we didn't have to wait for a table. Waitress took our drink order almost right away, and the food was tasty, enjoyable and hot. We would go back here again!!

went with a friend for Dinner in the week, meat was so thin it was like scraps I give more to my cats as a treat the turkey was also very dry and the gammon very fatty. There wasn't much choice of veg as usually is Cauliflower cheese, garden peas and green beans both looked frozen type and some sliced tasteless carrots, when asked about mashed swede said not seasonal yet I had it 2 weeks ago at Evanwood carvery in Runcorn, my friend asked about parsnips the chef told her it wasn't Christmas , usual mash and roasters but you could tell where waiting till every last roaster had gone before replacing with fresh ones meaning they were quite dry, , service good as is the refillable soft drinks but I wont be back in a hurry. we also enquired about the 2 course for £6.99 to be told something about having to pre order /book didn't understand as it didn't make sense so just ordered carvery at £6.25 , this was second time in 3 months we have visited definitely gone downhill food wise.

We went to the Toby Carvery in Warrington to try it after the bad meal we had at Widnes i have to say the meal was better but the staff were more interested in the lager parties that were dining there so the service was a bit poor but i guess you get what you pay for !!!!

Take the Toby Carvery for what it is, a relatively inexpensive carvery meal rather than fine dining, and you won't be disappointed. At £6.99 for two courses it's great value. On this visit there was a choice of turkey, pork, gammon, and beef with the usual sides of roast and mashed potato, peas and green beans, carrots, cauliflower, stuffing, and giant Yorkshire puddings. They even had three choices of gravy (beef, mint, or vegi). Desserts in the two course offer were ice cream, chocolate fudge cake, or sticky toffee pudding. All was very enjoyable. My second visit and I will be back again. Great if you have kids !

visited today 26/5/16 half empty but they ran out of things quickly like glasses gravey etc...slow service all around , heard lots of guests complain that they had been waiting over 15 mins....meat was pathetic. I asked the carver for a new gammon to be brought out..as i did not want to eat the last scraps old fatting meat left...he looked at me like I had a cheek, through his arms in the air and went off to get a new one, was very sarcastic...veg was very hard. roast potatoes burnt and yorkshire pud where made of card, Im pretty sure....should have gone to the church veiw. At no point was we asked if our meal was ok.

We visit Widnes Toby on a weekly basis and always find it to be welcoming, with staff that are pleasant, helpful and polite. Food great and plenty of it with a variety of vegetables.

We went to this Widnes Toby Carvery, as a family. There was 4 of us adults. This was the worse meal we have had. The Turkey was so dry, bits and stringy. On one plate, hardly any was put on, asked for more, more was brought, but it was so dry and terrible. I did complain about this, was offered beef or pork, but I don't eat those meats, anyway, a fresh turkey was put out, more was brought, but still very dry. The mashed potatoes, was very sloppy, the roasters were the same, way too soft and sloppy. Overall, a terrible experience. Will not be going back there. Do not recommend.

Well I enjoyed it I don't know what the other reviews are on about if I have comment on something the Guinness was not up to much maybe a line clean might help

Have been before. We decided to call in as were in area. Greeted and sat down. Drinks order taken.Must say waitress Kirsty was very attentive and pleasant.Good meal plenty if choice at a very reasonable price

Where to start that is the question? Absolute shambles. We waited several minutes to be seated at a dirty table. Not set for service. Waiter was not interested. Drinks took 15 mins to arrive and then the order was wrong. Warm black currant was a disgrace. Food was dreadful. Carver was grumpy to say the least and when we got to the roasts they were pale and soaked in oil and only two left. Chef when asked for fresh bit my head off then re appeared some several mins later with fresh. She threw them at me and caught my hand. Meals were left as stuffing dry, mash lumpy, cauliflower raw, meat tough.... Need I carry on.. When the bill came waiter did not even check why the food had not been eaten and then the cheek of it stalled in offering our change.. Wanted a tip.. Formal complaint winging its way to head office.. Avoid this one.. Dreadful to say the least. Best bit was getting in car to go home and cook.

My daughter and I went for breakfast and the food was lovely. We both helped ourselves to bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes and the lovely hash. It came to less than £8 for the two of us to spend some quality time together. Lovely :D

Early evening and ran out of beef on the buffet .Did not look great. Tasted worse than it looked.Very poor. Shame ,as I've used Toby carvery regularly.

At times this place is great and when on form I don't think you can beat this roast dinner. However at times when busy they can't seem to cope and their is food all over the floor and tables are stickyExampleWent in twice in one weekTuesday- they had shut some of the areas off and tried to sit us by the toilets- yuk most of the meat was very dry and hardly had any choice of vegThursday- quite empty. Meat was lovely and moist, plenty of choice of vegIt's an ok place that does a good roast at times

Bought a voucher was given duff info on redeming the balance, told over the phone we could only book online when reserving for two guests, but when we went in person told we could book over the phone. Cavery ran out of meat, told we could just have turkey n sausage n cud have a discount or wait a further 50mins. Wont be eating there again, abismal

We arrived for 12pm, paid and took a seat, then the waitress said the carvery wasn't ready and to wait with everyone else. There where about another 6 tables all waiting for them to open it. 10 minutes later the chef finally came out and within seconds there was a big queue. Considering all the food had been out and waiting under the heat lamps for some time, it was luke warm by the time I got mine back to the table. Yorkshire puddings where very bland, peas hard, gravy not much taste either. But for £6 it's not bad value if you don't mind nearly cold roast dinners.

just your standard carver nothing special going on here food is ok and drinks are a bit pricey but i will say the breakfast is good

We go to Bowers Toby Carvery on a Sunday it has gone down hill used to be very good but not now food on floor poor service Manager a joke !!! We waited ages to be seated and there were empty tables our food was cold and serving dishes were empty portions of meat small wont be going again pity because it used to be very good value and service NOT ANY MORE

We have been before and enjoyed it, this time was disgusting. Took ages to get served, went for food only to find no eggs, no bacon, four yes four trays of sausages that I can only describe as yesterday's left overs, dry mushrooms and beans. What we did get we left half a plate full and walked out.When my wife asked for fresh sausages she was snarled at and tutted to. Defo a place to avoid especially with the buffet place at the other end of the road. Don't waste your money here

Very poor experience. Tables were sticky and felt like they had been wiped with a cloth soaked in mashed potato. Had to get wipes out of handbag to clean. Beef tough as old boots. Cold vegetables but that could be because we had to wait for our cutlery to be brought before we could eat. That wasn't clean either. Ordered pudding 3 times and each one was out of stock so gave up and had no pudding. Friends had the Apple crumble and that was awful just stewed apple with powder sprinkled on top. Like eating sand they said. Also drinks brought to table were not what was ordered. Doubt if we will go again.

Wouldn't go again chef on Carvery covered in food. food scattered all over counter. staff useless, one of the staff think she was assistant manager had a face like a slapped back side wouldn't smile if she won lottery. used to have a great atmosphere belting food appears to be hit and miss if you get a decent service or meal.Lets hope it reverts back to being one of the best then I will return.

Booked a 3 course Christmas meal here with friends. From the start service was terrible. After the waitress took our drinks order she completely forgot about us. We overheard her telling the duty manager this. I had to tell a member of staff, who I later found out was the duty manager, before we were able to get a menu and have our order taken. The waitress seemed unable to operate the hand held device and we all ended up ordering the same to make it easier. Sadly we then waited another half hour and still hadn't received the starters. I asked a waitress who said she would check in the kitchen and then proceeded to walk past the kitchen to chat to a colleague. Again I had to ask the duty manager. After another 10 minutes I said we'd leave the starters and just have a carvery. We had now been sat for an hour without eating. The duty manger said there had been technical difficulties and would deduct the starters from the bill. When they finally arrived my prawn cocktail had no cutlery and no butter with the bread. Again I asked a waitress and she came back with 4 dessert spoons which she flung on the table. By the time we got to the carvery there was no chef on duty there. Again we waited 10 minutes before again I had to ask the duty manager for a chef. She was apologetic but seemed run off her feet. The waiting staff appeared completely disinterested and totally inept. When the bill came rather than the Christmas 3 course meal price all items were individually costed and the bill came to over £83 and our deposit had not been deducted. In addition the ladies toilets were out of order. I would not recommend this Toby Carvery. I have been several times and the service is never very good but this us the first time I have felt compelled to write a review as it was so poor.

At £6.29 for a carvery meal it's certainly good value! There were three meats on offer (pork, turkey, and gammon) served with a Yorkshire pudding and as much vegetables (roast & mashed potatoes, sprouts, peas, and red cabbage) and gravy as you could eat. Typical Toby restaurant in terms of decor, and average service, but overall fine for a quick meal. Just don't expect fine dining!

Last time I visited here it was really nice. What a shame it's ended up as it is now ! We had to wait for a table which was fine as we knew it was busy but the waiting area was filthy. Looked like nobody had cleared up for hours and the radiator looked like it had never been cleaned.We were shown to our table and then got in line for the carvery. Unfortunately a heated argument erupted between an extremely rude customer and the man carving the meat. The customer was clearly out of order and very irate and even threw a plate at the the member of staff. He was unhappy with the amount of meat allocated to him and compared his portion to an other customer in line. I had my 2 children with me and was a little anxious as the customer seemed unpredictable. He left the restaurant shortly after thank goodness. We continued with our meal but the mash was tasteless, the peas and cauliflower undercooked. Won't be returning any time soon I'm afraid !

We had a really nice meal yesterday..food spot on staff really helpful. A good time was had by myself,partner and baby daughter. Thanks all and hope you all have a lovely christmas

DIRTY , give it a miss, worst place I have ever been in , flys , dirty plates, toilets horrible staff not trained, but doing their best

Visit Toby carvery regular last two visits have been very off putting, First time one carver and the line for food doubled on itself four times once I got back to table my family had finished so was not family meal.Today .. We were greeted with "someone will be there in a min" From the door we where pointed to our table not taken , the table was laid but not wiped it was sticky crumby had grey fluff stuck to the sticky gravy over the table and dried ring marks from glasses ! Was not pleasant. The floor round carvery was filthy and the wall behind covered with flies. There was a small amount of gammon and pork left we where told it would be 45 minutes before any more meat would be brought out. The whole place just looked mucky such a shame it's so poorly maintained. Food tasted nice :)

Evening carvery was adequate, Breakfast was good but did not include anything to drink. Bar was not cheap. Bar service not very good. Would return if I wasn't feeling too fussy or thirsty!

We visited for a carvery this evening and we were very disappointed. The whole place was dirty with dirty plates and glasses all over the restaurant. No one greeted us. We waited 10 minutes for our food and drink order to be taken at the bar. We waited a further 10 minutes for the chef to come and cut the meat for the carvery. Veg were dry and cold. Toilets dirty and the whole restaurant infested with fly's. Safe to say we won't be returning.

Called here with my two sons for breakfast and to catch up, the food is just what we expected and the service was good, why people expect to pay such a cheap price and expect fine dining service I will never understand, the food and service are good and in line with what you are paying for, we will come here again

I went with my daughters for lunch. The £6.99 for two courses deal is good value. Food was fine and fresh. I agree that the whole place could be a bit cleaner but the staff and service were friendly

Bank holiday Monday so we travelled to Widnes for a Toby Carvery. We were eventually greeted & advised no turkey before we were taken to our table. We were placed right by open windows on a sticky table so I asked that we were moved away from the cold to a clean table, I was told by the female waitress they needed to check before moving us?!? I moved my family as sitting on a dirty table by a very draughty window was not ideal. At the car very we waited a while for the carver to come out & cut the meat. When he did arrived we had a choice of gammon, beef or pork. I selected beef (as I didn't like the other meats). The beef was so fatty I found it inedible, courgettes were so burnt they tasted bitter & the roast potatoes were hard. My plate was still covered in food as we left. I complained to our waiter when requesting the bill & he advised that the joint of beef was a 'rib' hence the fat. Will not be returning. Poor food & service.

Visited with family for Father's Day, it's the local carvery for me but always disappoints. The decor inside is pretty rough, lighting sockets exposed and just unclean and u kept.Service from the staff is cold and the food is pretty bland but filling.

It took nearly 4 minutes to be seated and another 3 Minutes before we were asked if we wanted a starter and drinks. However the food was excellent oozed well and very tasty and cooked perfectly. It's worth a second visit , just for the food.

We had the set 2 course set menu which gave us a main course carvery meal and a dessert. The restaurant was full which meant that there was a regular and quick replenishment of the vegetables which were hot and well presented, and the portions of meat carved for us were adequate.

The bar area smelled of urine. The tables where sticky, flies everywhere and was given a dirty glass.when I asked for a new drink in a clean glass they tried to charge me for it.

Ideal for the Travelodge next door. they advertised the breakfast for £3.99, but forget to mention the tea, coffee is extra, the toaster machine is totally in the wrong place, it's stuck in a corner, and once one person is using it no one else can get to it, these are designed to have a rolling effect, waiting ten fifteen minutes for toast which is what I had to do. Breakfast was cold by the time I got back to it. Sort it out Widnes.

Good traditional pub food. The staff very polite and friendly. Restaurant was clean and tidy. The toilets were clean. Wheel chair accessable.Car parking is not a problem and it is easy to get to. Handy for the Travelodge across the road.

Good buffet style breakfast but it does get really busy. Unlimited tea/coffee available for an extra charge. Parking available and suitable for children.

Felt welcoming good value,very nice food exceptional value for money.good parking easy access very pleasant staff

We didn't have a good experience at this toby carvery. Dirty tables, several flies on wall and ceiling very close to breakfast buffet area. Food was below average. Mushrooms had not been washed with soil in them!! Sausages which were cold and unappealing. Would not return.

Called on a Saturday before long journey home.Arrived early at 11.45 to have a drink and wait for family.All food was already out at that time.Rest of family arrived at 12.15p We all got our meal which was lukewarm .They have a cheek to charge for extra meat etc Half slices on ordinary carvery which you could see through .not good value at all . Staff were lovely and very efficient if a little abrupt at times.Drinks and desserts were brought promptly Will go again and will have to purchase extra meat carvery .No choice really because thats where the flavour is.

Came here with friends last week for the carvery on a Tuesday and the place was packed. We have tried a few carveries around Cheshire but this is by far the best.The carvery meats were OK, a bit dry and not exactly generous portions (as with all carveries) but there was a really good selection of veggies to go with it and you can go back for more of the potatoes & veg. Definitely the best in the area

With a recently changed breakfast menu, Toby Widnes is now even better than before. Add to that the friendly front-of-house staff, and the great team of kitchen staff and cleaners, great prices and good facilities for families, it's a great place to eat. Consistently good quality food morning noon and night. Been there as a couple and for a works Christmas do and it's a good all-round venue.

This is not fine dining but it is good value.However the veg was poorly cooked and the roast potatoes burnt.

Nipped in for lunch at what turned out to be a fairly busy time (forgot it was half term).Good food and service, in fact, both better than I would have anticipated had I known how busy it was.

We were away from home for the weekend. Wow I have to say this was the BEST Toby we have been to. The service and food were perfect. I have been to several other Toby's and they don't come close to this one. Seriously go fill your boots at this place. Amazing

Toby Carvery seemed a perfect choice on a drizzly Friday night - the food is quick and plentiful and the kids love it. You know what you're getting or so we thought.Service was fairly appalling for once, with one particular member of staff seemingly on the verge of a breakdown. Customers were kicking off aplenty. Given you're only ever an extra Yorkshire pudding away from a diabetic coma in there this takes some doing.The signs were there when we walked in, (literally) announcing that the vegetarian gravy had run out but to use the normal one as there was no meat in it anyway. Yum yum.The main gripe seemed to be the malfunctioning ice cream machine which had sparked a run on other desserts. As we know necessity is the mother of invention and with custard now a highly prized commodity, some harsh economic decisions had been made before we got our treacle sponge.We left amidst chaos. I popped to the urinals and was quickly joined by a youth who fully descended his tracksuit bottoms and asked me if I liked snooker. You can't legislate for that but it somehow seemed to sum up the evening.

The people of Widnes appear to have quickly cottoned on to the fact that most of the major retail shops in the Widnes shopping centre appear to open around 10.30 – 11.00 am on a Sunday morning, which leaves the opportunity to grab a ‘much as you can eat’ breakfast before going shopping.The Tobey Carvery in Widnes serves breakfast between the hours of 9.00-11.00 am and as mentioned it looks like it has become a popular place for a ‘Sunday morning pit stop’ whilst waiting for the shops to open. So much so that I would estimate that by 10.00 am on the Sunday morning we visited the restaurant it was about 75% full with more people coming in as we were leaving.The Tobey breakfast is pretty much standard across all their establishments so you know what you are going to get but with a fairly well packed restaurant this does meal that the food is replenished regularly. It’s not going to be to everyone’s tastes but for the price you are paying beats cooking & washing pans / dishes, so next time you are thinking of shopping in Widnes on a Sunday morning contemplate a morning pit stop at the Tobey Carvery, it’s worth a try.

It was simply great food at a great price with loveley service more than just the regular toby chain. Delivered with a smile

Usual affair. Had the bigger meal. Was lots of meat and the vedge was really nice. They had sweetcorn and butternut squash which I had not had b4 on a carvery. Real ale was well pulled and I was allowed to open tab behind the bar and have a pint outside on the tables in the sunshine before eating. Clean, friendly with a large eating and bar area. Range of young and old people eating there as well as out of town workers from the local traveloge.

We have eaten here on numerous occasions and have never been let down by the quality of food on the carvery. The four roast joints were all succulent and the numerous vegetables were freshly cooked and lovely.

Food was okay, not amazing but cheap and plentiful although the gammon roast was quite tasty. The staff were friendly and very efficient.

Plenty of car parking, good location close to shops and a good size premises but wait...this is not one of the better Tobys and they are lucky there is no Crown carvery close to the area. By comparison to other Toby outlets it is average.

It maybe a one off again i don't know, but every time i go here and I'm not going again the plates are dirty , the cups are dirty and the food is only ok.Drinks expensive.Car parking -- lots of it.Not going here again unless someone pays for me. My money is better spent in the chippy.

Have not been here for a number of years. It used to be a place that was running wild with small out-of control children (no joke!) , so not here by choice. Today the service and attentiveness of staff was excellent throughout, the carvery well cooked and presented (especially the turkey). puddings good too. No queueing at the bar for ordering either and puddings delivered to the table. With two under 6's with us, it proved to be an unexpected pleasant experience for a late Sunday afternoon. Well done.
