Toby Carvery Snaresbrook in Redbridge

It's a toby and better than many I e been in

First visit. What a value for money. Food, service, price, surroundings, all great. Defo going back again sometime.

Excellent breakfast again I go most Saturdays and I'm not disappointed food hot clean environment. Joy the waitress was perfect again like she is every week

Been going here for years, but the last year or so it’s really gone downhill! I don’t know how much thinner they could cut the meat! Even on a large … it’s so thin it nearly disappears into thin air when you add the gravy!! Potatoes are pot luck! I was going to have the lamb but it was a scraggy bit left and all dried up so I just opted for 1 meat! ( to think it was going to be served was shocking). Vegetables very poor, I asked for carrots to be topped up as there was a few scraps in the bottom and I was abruptly told, yea soon lol…food is not hot enough at all… I’ve also noted that you can stand in the queue and be totally ignored while 3 servers are doing take away orders!!! Very ignorant and disappointed. This is our 3rd bad experience and will not be returning!

Standard experience as expected therefore high ratings

Breakfast buffet good 👍 don't like flexible pricing

Had a great time. Food was tasty, place was clean, service quick. No complaints.

Amazing service by our server Nathan👍👍👍

Served promptly and efficiently at 2.30pm by Ross at Borehamwood, when the restaurant was almost empty. Food was fresh, hot and plentiful. had two course set lunch, main and dessert for £13.99. Excellent value.

My experience at this Toby Restaurant was excellent. Staff food atmosphere location perfect. Best Carvery I've ever been to. Thanks to Manager and their staff for making our visit so great

The carvery is a five-minute walk from Snaresbrook Underground Station. The venue is large and features a warm, homely decor and atmosphere. It is popular and busy, so reservations for dining are recommended. We had a short wait for our table, during which the staff were very hospitable. While we waited, we enjoyed some drinks that were reasonably priced. We ordered starters, which arrived after five minutes, and then proceeded to queue up for the carvery options. There is a good selection of meat and vegetables available. The food is very filling and enjoyable, with the Yorkshire puddings in particular being excellent. The cost of the meal offers excellent value, and combined with the nice atmosphere, it highlights the superb experience. This is an exceptionally good value dining experience for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommended.

Food was good, nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Recommended.

Great place for food and drinks!

Love coming to the toby for a roast, can’t complain about a thing. You ain’t getting better food at this price nowhere, hands down I never been disappointed. Highly recommend to visit!

Amazing service and wonderful food!

Very nice food and good service. Clean and tidy venue.

Delusional experience with poor service My customer was visibly disappointed Seems to be ficused too much on profit Wont be going again

Good location, well decorated and clean premises. If you park in their car park, you must register your vehicle registration number on the console by the bar to avoid a PCN. Friendly staff.

Went here for Mother’s Day and had a lovely roast.

Absolutely awful experience. Complacent service, tasteless food, forgettable coffee. The location was excellent thougt - the only positive things about this experience.

Poor decor, menu and parking, impolite service, overpriced and tasteless food! Avoid this place at all costs. Much better alternatives locally.

Had a nice time good food and the service was outstanding would 100% recommend

Food is way too bland. I had the vegetarian option crusty thing which had no flavour.

Carvery lunch - 09/04/2025. This is the first time I’ve visited this Toby and I would highly recommend. The food was excellent and the meat portion generous. Staff were very attentive, especially Melody who really stood out. I look forward to visiting again when I am next in the area. 10/10.

Very poor service! Place was almost empty, but they was very rude and didn’t try at least to put a little effort to arrange a table for walk in customers!

Nice place. Nice food. Prices have gone up a lot since my last visit to this chain.

Always the same high quality food. Professional service and good atmosphere.

Perfect, service, interior, food everything was spot on

Gave me pick chicken and salmonella give me a refund!

Always a good shout at this branch. Best to come early for roasts as the meat selection is very good and the chef always helpful. Always a family tradition going here x

Always love a carvery!! Nice restaurant with friendly, helpful staff (and Toby's roast potatoes!!) Can't go wrong here!

Very good place for a roast dinner..!!

Nothing bad to say about Toby's. Staff are friendly and polite, good food, and excellent value for money.

Wonderful service from all the staff. In particular, Charlie, who runs the bar with perfection. Great food.

One of the better Toby's. Food was as good as you should get with Toby and staff were very nice, chatty and friendly. I'd definitely go back there.

Fantastic roast dinner! Lots of choice on fresh vegetables. Great service! Would highly recommend.

Very cosy atmosphere, can get busy so would recommend booking. Food was good, some of the veg wasn’t fully cooked. Overall taste was lovely. Would definitely come here again.

Solid carvery in great setting, the breakfast is good

Great value, took my parents here on the over 60 £6 offer, can't beat it.

The food was lovely but the best part about our visit was the hospitality of the staff. All were very welcoming, friendly and went out of their way to make our family meal an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

Love this place! Cheap as chips! Lovely food!

Should be silent but it ate that up anyway just like how I ate that meal 🥰 29/30

Fantastic first experience at the Toby Carvery Snaresbrook. Was served by a lovely lady named Vicky who was super patient, and informative. Had the carvery which was delicious. So much quality food for a good price. Will definitely come again.

Great place to have a lovely meal Staff are great from front of house to waiting and kitchen staff

Only 3 stars for the food although it was hot and tasty they had ran out of lamb which I was so looking forwards to eating

Amazing roast and great value for money in london ! Vicky was lovely and recommended the sticky toffee pudding with custard ! Definitely will come back :)

Great food, lovely staff, all very friendly and hospitable, the roasts are cooked to perfection with nice fresh veg to accompany.

Great place to eat. I would go again

Good food and excellent value for money

Toby is always brilliant value for money. The food is always reliable, not high end, but everyone enjoys it, especially the kids. The kids eat for £1 offer really is the best value for money I've seen anywhere. We had 3 large meals, 3 drinks and 2 desserts for £30.

Really good 5/5 the staff are really nice 👍🙂 the food is excellent 👌👍 another good thing is in half term kids eat for a pound

Lovely people. Really helpful. We went here after my husband's funeral. Everyone enjoyed the food. Nice quiet place to have a drink or tea and coffee. Can't recommend them enough.

Went here just because of the good reviews and it did not disappoint. Staff were super friendly and food was extra delicious. The place was beautiful too. Lovely experience.

Excellent Food & Service Good Welcoming Atmosphere Presentation Also Excellent - Clean & Tidy Daniel In Particular Is Polite & Professional (Reception) ..

If you love a proper roast dinner, Toby Carvery is the place to be! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The selection of meats is tender and juicy, the vegetables are well-seasoned, and the Yorkshire puddings are massive—just how they should be! The gravy ties everything together beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, or even a solo treat. There were lovely vegan options also available. Lisa was extremely friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience from start to finish. With generous portions and great value for money, Toby Carvery is hands down one of the best spots for a traditional roast. Highly recommend!

Lovely Pub, friendly staff food excellent will make it a regular

Great value for money, good fresh food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

Lovely fresh cooked breakfast. Clean and tidy restaurant. The LavAzza coffee was fresh and tasty. Freshly brewed and replenished all the time. Had a warm welcome and goodbyes. Great car park plenty of spaces.

Lisa and Yasmine, were very welcoming and helped us to our seats quickly and efficiently. Lisa helped us when it was tricky decision to choose a desert she is a lovely asset to your team and I can definitely see leadership potential in her.

Booked a table for two for 1500 online. Arrived on time. Waited 10-15 minutes for a table to be ready. Ate food which was plentiful but tepid. No one asked us if everything was okay (not good). 35 mins had elapsed We took a breather while deciding whether or not to have dessert. The very nice 30 year veteran server asked if we wanted anything else. I asked how long we had. She said she’d ask a supervisor. She returned and told us TEN MINUTES?? There was a group of six who had finished their meal as we were being seated and who were chatting. I have no issue with that but asked why they weren’t being encouraged to pay/leave. I was told a table of six is allotted 2.5 hours. I said that was unfair particularly as everyone gets their own food! I said I’m not going to be rushing dessert to fit into the minimal time allotted to tables for two! I will have dessert at home! According to the Toby website, each table is allotted NINETY minutes and we’d only had half of that! We left but not before I complained to another assistant manager who apologised (good) then told me that as far as she knew no one should be rushed to leave a table. I told her I was made to feel we could not relax, have dessert, more drinks, coffee because we only had TEN more minutes to do it! I bet I know exactly which jobsworth assistant manager made that decision!

Food was ok! Pancakes are not made fresh! Served cold !

Lovely experience, the food was very good and the service was perfect, we have been on several occasions now and it's always the same, friendly, good food at a good price. Vicky and David have been particularly accommodating, great friendly and helpful service.

We had a very enjoyable meal, everything was fresh and the meat was very tender. Our waiter David was very accommodating and friendly and even moved our table to allow for our friends who had joined us later. A very nice experience.

We went on Saturday and Sunday evenings as we were in Loughborough University playing wheelchair basketball and the staff were very helpful and friendly, helping with my colleagues powered wheelchair and on the Sunday we were early for our booking and they still squeezed us in for a carvery

Very good and friendly staff and service. Food was great and of good quality.

Three of us had the carvery, veggie and meat. We all found the food barely warm. The counter in front of the carvery/veg area was greasy and the servery for gravy, etc., had clearly not been wiped down for quite a while. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to complain and restart our meal. Two of us paid in cash, and the waitress did not bring our change to us - even though we had not told her to do so. The Eagle used to be one of the best Toby's around, sadly no longer.

Disappointed. Did you the food being only Luke warm and overcooked mushy veg😔. Meat was nice but without hot properly cooked veg it's not a good quality roast.

We are regularly having dinner at Toby Carvery Woodford( temporarily closed) My friends first time in UK I wanted them to try the food Location is good, they have car parking, inside is very nice and cozy , we went on a week day, busy but not overcrowded The drinks come quickly but the food was not as I expected The meat beef was finished and we needed to await to get the fresh one The vegetables was ok, not to many choices Yorkshire pudding not as should, I ask to be replaced and we find some strange pieces in side the pudding, whene I question the staff she said is something regular found in ,is from pan ( I never found anything before, and we eat very often at Toby) Her rispons came quickly and she was rushed to go away ... We even had children with us...

Went for breakfast. £6.99 decent for a buffet. The usual items for English breakfast but added Yorkshire puddings which are delicious and gravey. The tomatoes I did not like as it was just chopped tomatoes not half or whole freshly cut which makes a difference for a full English. Staff very friendly and explained what to do. If you drive make sure at the bar/counter you put your registration to park for free for 3 hours. Refillable tea and coffee.

I have always loved a carvery. I had a gastric sleeve so can't eat much. So iv always bought a carvery and took my food away. Iv always explained this before ordering this time I was told sorry no take away. So I did not end up having dinner I bought my partner and kids dinner and drinks and waited in the car.. this is very upsetting

Arrived at 8:20 for a booking at 9. Took till 8:35 to be seated, took till 8:45 for our server to take orders and till 8:50 to get drinks and starters. Went to get roast at 9:01 to find out that the kitchen was closed. Not one single person at any point told us that the kitchen was due to close our have us a heads up. We were told to go get our roast whenever we were ready. Further added insult was the loaded toasties were rock hard. When we raised the issue about roast availability they said there's nothing to be done, all the food had been disposed of. Not much by way of apology either. Embarrassing for the guests I had with me and insulting to be honest.

Nice food nice staff right price easy access only up the road to snarsbrook station central line

Decent carvery in a nice area, with friendly staff, good food and parking. Great for a budget Sunday lunch!

Same friendly service and good carvery. Enjoyed lunch with friends.

Amazing lunch experience Couldn't fault it, only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the food was because I've had better quality meat elsewhere BUT it was a lot more expensive Looking forward to coming back really soon

We dined in and unfortunately were ignored by waitress. Food was cold. This happened on both occasions I attended. We will definitely not be coming back.

The food was delicious and the service was great!

Excellent food, served piping hot. Lovely staff and atmosphere

Great food. Always hot. Friendly carvery team and friendly staff throughout. We bring my octogenarian parents here as its their favourite place and never let's us down

Staff are always friendly and food is fresh and hot

Friendly staff quick service good food

All staff nice and polite,food very tasty 😋

As always, excellent food and excellent staff to match. A big thanks to the management and to Toni, David and Charlie who went above and beyond for me from when I started my visit having drinks in the bar area to later having dinner and then to when I paid and left. I usually dine alone but never feel lonely here. The carvery chef was also extremely pleasant to talk to as he was serving me. This Toby is not local to me, and I don't drive so have to do a bit of a journey on public transport to get here but it is really worth the effort and why I come here at least once a week. Can't fault my visit, outstanding from beginning to end and can't wait to come back. Thanks again Toby Snaresbrook.

Strongly advise to make a reservation

Runwell hall This was absolute chaos food was just ok staff rude and unhelpful ended up With just a table in the bar area with people vertically sitting on my lap around us couldn’t wait to get out so disorganised. and they send me a email when are you coming back,no thanks

Always pleasant, welcoming waiting staff and the chefs doing the carvery are friendly and work hard. Food very tasty too and super value.

Average roast dinner, only disappointment was cauliflower cheese and the desserts. Waitress very attentive and fast

Good variety of meats and veggies quality and taste lovely.

Polite staff, ample amount of free parking-just remember to register your car when you arrive. They also have a vegetarian option. I made my booking online prior to arrival. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a carvery.

Had their Christmas menu. Would be one back, lovely staff! Food was good, just the lamb was overdone, but everything else was spot on.

All the food was lovely.staff especially marina and Liam and Louise were excellent definitely recommend to friends and family

Were charging all customers including blue bags holders to use the car park. I left and went somewhere that welcomes customers

I have never in my life experienced what I have today with any business or member of staff who worked within that business but today was clearly that day. I am beyond mind boggled how someone goes about their day being completely self centred that they ruin someone else’s. I spoke on the phone today to a member of staff ( a woman stating she was a duty manager) , I called as I’ve done many times before as on all these delivery sites that deliver Toby Carvery don’t allow customisations on the app which is very unheard of and not modernly updated. However, I call ahead due to allergies and intolerances to customise my order over the phone and I have always had that customisation accepted by every member of staff at the Snaresbrook I’ve asked even with different branches as well. This member of staff decided off her own bat that she was going to make that difficult and didn’t want to hear that this has previously been done many times by those that she works alongside and at other branches, she has created her own policy due to sheer selfishness and laziness and I don’t think that’s okay to not listen to the customer’s perspective or wants or needs at all, and non stop enforcing her own agenda and say so. This needs to be rectified as this order was purposely prepared quickly so that I couldn’t cancel, now this is an order I have now been charged for and won’t even consume because I physically cannot, and I am at a loss not this woman that spoke out of turn on the phone. I have never had this experience before and wasn’t expecting it but this does need to be dealt with and they should be held accountable for their actions. This has left me unsettled, dissatisfied and frustrated, the woman who works here has nothing to lose with customising the order, her attitude from the beginning of the conversation was already dismissive and unhelpful. I have now lost out on money due to her lack of bother and care in my order and customer experience. I don’t even want to give any stars, I enjoyed my other experience with this restaurant chain aswell as this branch but that has come to an end due to a staff members incapability to think of the customer and apply good customer service skills to her daily work routine. This will require some level of compensation on behalf of the restaurant or Uber whomever because this is not acceptable, it has absolutely ruined my ordering experience as a whole and I use these apps for a personal health reason and so when I have to experience these unnecessary and unpleasant events , it has to be met with some sort of understanding and respectful solution.

The food was really delicious and the waiter that served us was very nice and lovely, made the experience ten times better. Especially, the atmosphere was lively and chill.

Great place. Fantastic and accommodating servers. Food is hot, plentiful and delicious.

Very disappointed !! Cold , overcooked vegetables , stale Yorkshire puddings and yesterday’s Roast Potatoes, can’t eat a big meal due to bariatric surgery , but Head office no longer allow takeaway boxes

I enjoyed the red cabbage and range of vegetables. As a non-meat eater I enjoy the range of vegetables and especially look forward to the red cabbage and also the onions. However the vegetables could have been hotter.

Meal and service excellent I Object to being turned off table after 45 mins I am an old age pensioner and did not have time to finish my meal. Going up for,extra veg was impossible.

I have eaten here a few times and the service is great and the food is really good. I will continue to eat here in the future.

Food was lovely but no heating the waitress said it cos they get hot running around then said it goes off as we close our meal was 7 .30pm the manageress said I have no idea when the heating came on or went off I was sat by a cold window with condensation dripping down it the lady on the next table had her coat wapped round her i now I have a cold not happy not sure I'll be going again in the winter
