Toby Carvery The Oaklands in Hertsmere

Brandon was so helpful and pleasant and ensured we had a good service. Thanks so much for looking after us tonight. The carvery was pretty good, although the portions of meat ‘could’ have been a bit more plentiful…. All round, a good meal, made better because Brandon was there xxx

Kelly is amazing! She's the best! Goes out and beyond of her way to make your dinner so perfect! One of my favourite places to go!

Disgusting service. Forgot to serve a starter until everyone was finishing their meals. However remembered to charge 99p for the baby to have a few dried peas and extremely dry pasta. Which she didn’t eat. Shame on you the kids also commented that the meat was dry. You need better quality staff and food.

Great customer service and great food as usal. Went on friday evening and Liv was with our table and she was great. Thank you

Having not been here for a long time due to a previous bad experience customer service wise, we decided to take a chance today and go for lunch. So glad we did. The girl who greeted us was polite and friendly when we arrived and showed us to a table. Kelly the waitress was a breath of fresh air! Polite, engaging and very attentive. We had the Brioche bun with Roast Beef and horseradish, it came with roast potatoes and a Yorkie and gravy. There was so much meat in the bun and the potatoes and Yorkie were fantastic. After today's visit we will definitely be going back. After todays visit and the food I would recommend.

Another great experience at The Toby Carvery, family of 10 eating, great food and we received exceptional service from Abbie

I came here for lunch with my partner. We were seated quickly and our server Kelly was phenomenal a proper credit to the company. Our drinks orders were taken and Kelly also kept us entertained with lil chats and laughs. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us gravy before we even had to ask and also extra napkin each knowing we would need them. These little touches really make a meal an experience. We chose two beef Yorkie wraps. The food was to die for beef was full of flavour and perfect for a lunchtime treat. I cannot thank Kelly enough for making our first and not last visit a real winner. Will be back soon. Hope to see you again soon

Fantastic carvery. Fresh juicy generous portions of beef and tasty vegetables. Restaurant was clean, comfortable and staff were friendly and polite. Been to this restaurant numerous times with the same impeccable standard every time.

Came here for dinner on a week night, it wasn't busy at all. Staff were just stood around chatting and ignoring us. We made eye contact with at least three members of staff before someone finally seated us. When asking for refillable drinks we were told to help ourselves but weren't told where the machine or glasses were. It also took about 20 minutes to get a member of staff so I could pay our bill. I could see about four just stood around chatting in the kitchen and none seemingly wanted to serve me. The food was warm at best, the gravy being the only element of the meal that was hot. If you want a good roast dinner with decent service, go elsewhere.

Great service from Mandy and Steve who both make sure you have all you need and are friendly and chatty. Will definitely go again with all the family

made to feel very welcome and food was good our server could not do enough for us from my impatient son down to my granddaughter

Kelly the waitress was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was extremely welcoming and polite. Such amazing service made all the difference. Wonderful and so polite !!

We moved here after leaving the Harvester after just ordering drinks and was offered a table immediately. Food was first class and really friendly and attentive staff. Definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area and fancy meat and veg food.

Meat was cold, mashed potatoes were cold, roast potatoes were cold, cabbage was cold, even the gravy was cold. The only thing hot was the over cooked carrots! The server was really helpful and drinks were fine. Clearly no one cares about the food quality here and NEVER check the food temperature as the gravy is kept separately to the food and even that was cold! Sometime you can warm your food suitable with hot gravy but when they can’t even get that right, there’s no hope. What a total and utter waste of money!!!

Today we went out for a meal for my fathers birthday. There was nine of us including a teenager and a 7 year old. The menu had lots to chose from. We had a couple of platters to share, while some of the adults had carvery and said it was the best they have ever had. What made this a 5 star review was how we were served. The waitress was called KELLY, she had the energy and enthusiasm of an individual you would chose to have in your own business. I wish we could have bottled her up and taken her with us!! She was fun and friendly and couldn’t do anymore to help us while we had the most memorable experience ever. Kelly is amazing 5 gold stars from us because of you!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came here whilst staying at a local hotel and really great value and our young son ate well too! Parking space and easy to choose from the buffet with huge Yorkshire puddings!

This evening we attended the Toby carvery and the lovely Phoebe was our waitress, she is always lovely full of joy and really lifts the mood of the evening!At the end with a lovely little note which is really thoughtful & would highly recommend her at Oakland’s Borehamwood!Thank you Phoebe for a lovely evening :)

We visited the restaurant on Sunday 18th July wth my husbandm two teenagers and my Mum for her birthday. Our waitress Kelly was amazing, so cheerful, nothing was too much trouble, we have visited a few Toby restaurats and this was by far the best down too the comfort, service, piping hot, delicious food, greaat location with plenty of outside seating and free car parking, all staff were so friendly and helpful, but above all our waitress Kelly was absolutely fatastic, a real asset to the restaurant,made our day we will definitely be returning!!

Absolutely gorgeous food so much nicer than it used to be all new staff and management which has made it so much better the food was hot and so fresh quick and easy service. we all cleared our plates and all staff were so happy and cheerful which made it that extra bit special the staff were also very helpful nothing was to much for them especially our waitress Kelly. Would rate this a 10/10

Kelly was an unbelievable waitress and so nice , loved the chef Aaron aswell the experience was amazing and would defo visit again

Kelly was our waitress tonight & she is amazing. Her service was impeccable and brought smiles to the table! It was my dads birthday & it couldn’t have gone better with the service, help and genuine care of Kelly this evening.It’s lovely to have someone who shows they actually care about what they do , it was like second nature to her.Thank you Kelly for all your help tonight - we will definitely be back and hope to have Kelly again!

We came here for a quick bite to eat after a long journey and I felt like I was being welcomed home. The staff were nothing short of amazing! So attentive and kind. We really appreciated the warm and lovely service after what had been a really long day.

The lady that met me at the door needs to work on her welcoming! I had booked a table for 8pm, however arrived at the restaurant for 7.18pm. Informed the lady and her reply, "You're 43minutes early!"I explained, "Just drove down from Liverpool and I thought it best to book a later table, just incase we hit traffic issues on 200 mile drive!"Her reply, "I should have booked for 7pm!"When she realised I wasn't impressed with her attitude, she walked away to check if she had a table! Returned within 15 seconds to escort us to a table!Our server was Phoebe, who was absolutely excellent and I couldn't fault her at all! Pity the restaurant was let down with first impression!As we were staying in the Travelodge attached to the restaurant we thought we would go for the advertised breakfast!Pointless, seeing as the restaurant was not open, though there was nothing to indicate that it would be closed? Oh before I forget, our Roast on the Sunday evening (04 July) was very good

Would have turned into a bad experience with a rude lady seating us - we were about to leave until I think it was Kelly who asked us if we wanted some drinks and the wife and I said to each other we recognised her from the Watford Toby which is where we wanted to go in the first place as we always found the service there better. Thank you Kelly ( if that’s your name which was on the receipt) for looking after us there wasn’t an option to leave a tip so I’m leaving a review, food was great Waiting staff and kitchen staff was polite with exception to the one who seated us. well done guys - sundays are not an easy day it being so busy but you guys always had a smile Thanks x

All the problems with this Toby carvery is down to poor management. No one lasts here because the manager is too arrogant to do any work himself and employs low quality staff paid peanuts.

Fantastic service from Kelly really caring nothing was to much trouble and really accommodating with the kids will definitely visit again thank you

Booked a table for breakfast at 10.45am. When we arrived a young girl was serving. I informed her we had booked and she asked me to wait at the table near the entrance. After 5 minutes we were still not seated. A more experienced lady came to our rescue and seated us and gave us tea and apple juice. We went to the buffet and not much food was there. The lady got the chef to make more for us and two others as well. Due to the lack of breakfast available and the long wait for the food to be cooked we were very kindly offered free breakfast by Kelly who diffused the situation as my husband had enough and was ready to leave. Kelly gave us great customer service which is sadly lacking these days in a lot of establishments. Kelly you are a credit to this company. We often go to Toby Carvery when we go to Borehamwood so no doubt we will be back in the future !!!

Server Kelly is absolutely outstanding at her job, warm, friendly and welcoming. Knows her job inside out and should be recognised as an essential team member. We look forward to coming again and being served by Kelly again 😊

Yet again another amazing takeaway meal from the Oakland’s Toby Carvery Borehamwood the manager is absolutely brilliant really lovely and really made sure I was looked after. Incredible service, incredible manager and amazing meal 5 stars highly recommended Will definitely be coming back!!

Come here on a regular basis and always guaranteed a good meal and great service. In particular, our favourite waitress Kelly. Always friendly, always a smile on her face (which is contagious) always lovely!

Staff worked really well under pressure, my table mixed up the bookings and they sorted it out perfectly, our waitress Kelly was excellent! So friendly and kind. 10/10

Came for dinner tonight with the family we had a waitress called Kelly What a lovely experience she made our visit, she was friendly bubbly and very helpful we had a good giggle with her x Keep up the good work kelly ... we will be back soon x Mandy & Family x

Firstly its been months since my last visit So I was really looking forward my first visit this year. As always the food was delicious, I had the beef with all the trimmings. You have a choice Beef Turkey Gammon Yorkshire pudding ( very Large). All kinds of veg. and potatoes. That was me stuffed. But you can go back for pot and veg many times as you like. If you are still not full. You can have deserts. One thing Borehamwood Carvery have is Kelly. She's very bubbly and lovely person. She's very helpful. She wizzes around like a rocket. If you go. You will no its Kelly. Great Parking also. And the chef's very nice indeed. Enjoy

Food was very nice and had a good waitress Kelly, she made sure we had everything we needed. Also explained everything to us. Great service

First meal back indoors and we went for lunch here as we've missed it! Had a great meal and although the social distancing restrictions mean it's not the same as usual, our waitress Kelly ran around getting everything for us and making sure we had a lovely time. We'll be back again soon.

Had a very enjoyable visit to Toby’s just after the second lockdown. This was the first visit to this restaurant after re-locating to Borehamwood. Nice food, great service and especially Kelly made it very enjoyable. Would recommend.

Had a really good breakfast at the Toby in Borehamwood. Was served by friendly gentleman on the carvery counter who was very welcoming. Food was yummy and overall service was good.

The festive menu is definitely worth a try. As well as the usual carvery which offers 4 meats so well presented by Tomas the kitchen manager; the Turkey stack is awesome!! Followed by the Gingerbread Sundae with rum it really makes it a treat worth trying at Xmas. The staff who work there are a credit to Toby. Ashleigh, Charley and Kelly are very attentive and friendly, work very hard and put the customer first. We will definitely be going back there again. Cheers Colin and Debbie.

This is very conveniently situated right next door to the Travel Lodge. We had dinner there just before the second lockdown and all covid precautions were in place. Very friendly staff and great food, all in a safe environment.

Kelly the waitress always makes our experience better. Great service from her and put a smile on our faces before lockdown!

This is my first time attending this restaurant and this is by far my most favourite Toby!The customer service is outstanding and I’m gutted that I live too far to be here every week!Kelly was an absolute delight, her enthusiasm and caring nature was lovely and I had the best experience here today.

Oh my good god the service at this place is outstanding! The staff are so wonderful and welcoming. Kelly, what a babe.

Always excellent food and excellent staff and manager always smiles and helpful. Very pleased regular customer.

Great food and really brilliant service from our waitress Kelly and Carvery chef George. Great value food, really tasty. Kelly’s communication was first class making sure we knew she had seen us and telling us when she would be back to us and why. Always fun and smiling. George behind the counter was really nice and had great jokes with our children. Both of them made our evening meal! We had one problem with some overcook pigs in blankets and we didn’t even have to mention it kelly took one look at them left on the plate and knew that it was a problem and made sure we were not charged for them. She is the epitome of what customer service should be. (This place really has upped its game over the last 18 months, even the toilets which are a bit tired we’re clean and smelt so fresh. Top marks to all the staff. )

Awful customer service by FOH only good part about the visit was the food and jack and Steph behind the cook line. The drinks took about 20 minutes to come had finished my food before they come and they tasted awful the lemonade was flat and they didn’t change our drinks overall an awful visit also the manger was very unprofessional and rude

Very good service form Kelly made are night very enjoyable.grate food and grate price. Would go again.

Food was great. Service from Kelly was great! Always chatty and smiley. Made our night very enjoyable

Had a lovely meal for myself and my girlfriend. Food was great, as was the service from Kelly!"Be the change..." "You can't afford me!"

Wonderful service from Kelly lovely helpfull ladyGood food and plenty of itCan't fault the service

Came for a nice sunday dinner and loved it! The food was brilliant and so were the desserts. They even made one from scratch as we didnt know a dessert wasn't on the menu. David and Kelly were lovely and the service was amazing. With everything going on at the moment, it was slower than usual but worth it in the end! Will definitely be coming back :)

We go to the carvery every week, its brilliant the food is lovely the staff are amazing so friendly and helpful . We have been to other pubs and restaurants but none have the great atmosphere thet the carvery has , would highly recommended.

Really good service under the hard times at the moment. Good atmosphere and friendly service. I really don't understand why people are moaning the staff are under a lot of pressure and are going out of their way to make everyone happy. Well done keep up the great job you are doing.

Lovely experience, the food was great and during such a difficult time the staff showed such kindness and care for their customers. Kelly was extremely helpful and very bubbly made the atmosphere a happy place to be in. And David made sure all of our needs were met. Would definitely recommend visiting.

Kelly was amazing and the food was fast and delicious. Even through COVID-19 the service was excellent Thank you guys!

My self and work colleagues visited the restaurant while working away. it was amazing experience and the food was delicious, thanks to the chef Ashley, But mainly Charlie and darcy really made our experience with fantastic waitress service. Anything we needed it was there. They are a credit to the company and deserve promotions, pay rises or bonuses. We are working away down the area for 18 months and will definitely be making a weekly a visit. We are booked in for Sunday and I hope to see Charlie and darcey with there rewards. thank you so much Toby. Joseph Felton

People WITHOUT SMARTPHONES cannot eat or drink at this restaurant. This place gets WORSE with its arrogant rude young wet behind the ears staff...who speak broken english with absolute disdain to customers. The worst management ever encountered. COVID IS NOT AN EXCUSE!

In Toby Calvary Stan-way. They were understaffed and very slow. There was dirty plates left on lots of tables.The breakfast was cold so we had to send it back and we did then get a fresh breakfast which was lovely and hot. Because of the lack off staff no staff asked us if we wanted any more drinks or a refill therefore we was left with empty cups.

Went to Toby's for the first time in my life. As a vegetarian going on vegan it would be a strange place for me to try.However I believe supporting places that offer vegan options encourages more vegan options. Also it gives meat eaters a chance to opt for non meaty food.I had the vegan sausage roll. It was lovely. As I didn't want to visit the carvery station and thus the wait staff kindly filled my plate with all of the veggie sides. Toby's didn't have vegan gravy and this the wait staff kindly brought cranberry sauce and ketchup for us.For dessert I had the apple, blackcurrant and cranberry crumble with vegan custard. All of the food was super yum!!

Me en the family decided to go out for a nice meal, Unfortunately it was ruined by the lack of staff, respect, and trying to overcharge us, when it got to the point of paying the bill I went up to the bar noticed a large stocky man, Funny he had a little white powder under his nose when I questioned him he went behind to get "ice" and when he came out surprised surprised his nose was as clean as anything, I questioned him again as this is a family pub, why would someone be under the influence while working, his response was "I don't know what your in about,hopefully he won't be working there much longer

I have been coming to the borehamwood carvery for a long time mainly on Sundays but more often then not it was dissapointing. Either the food was cold, certain dishes weren’t ready or available, the que was around the restaurant the food station was always messy and dirty and majorly understaffed. I have now been back twice since lockdown and I have to say there’s been a massive turn around and huge improvement in every department. The food was delicious, meat cooked to perfection, so many options available, Yorkshire puddings just amazing, the government guidelines are met with the social distancing which is reassuring, the restaurant is clean and the staff are helpful and pleasant. Christina my waitress was so welcoming and friendly, the chefs are cheerful and interact great and the new manager seems to be doing a great job at turning the restaurant around which it desperately needed. Will be going back for my regular Sunday roasts

I made the mistake of booking this Toby Carvery for my family Christmas dinner. To say it's probably one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to is an understatement. We were shown a seat one of our crackers was already pulled. After 15/20 mins we asked to order drinks as we were completely ignored. Starters took over 45 minutes to come. The soup was cold and came with a tea spoon. The carvery was cold and dry. The deserts came after another 44 minute wait after asking for them 3 times. Waitress trying to serve us was sweet but overstretched. The whole place was just a shambles no one knew what was happening. It completely ruined our Christmas and I am so disappointed in the whole experience. Management take no ownership whatsoever everything is someone else's fault. McDonald's would have been a better option! Stay well away from this place.

First time we have been back since lockdown very impressed by the cleanliness. staff were great at explaining the new way of service .This was the best meal we have ever had here .Amanda our waitress was very efficient

Had an excellent meal here today. Lots of covid precautions and super friendly carvery counter staff. However the true star was kelly. She was helpful knowledgable and got the kids meals sorted effortlessly. All thought portions were great too. Would recommend.

Really impressed with our recent visit. We booked a Monday lunch. It was the last day of the eat out to help out. I expected it to be chaos but it was very orderly and extremely well organised. We hardly waited at all and the staff were excellent. Really polite and attentive. The food was fabulous and plentiful and the value was unbeatable. Well done, Toby. Will return!!!

it's been a long time since I visited this restaurant due to poor service and food being could but I was told it has been improved so we gave it another go everything was alright till it came to our dessert the waiter gave us a menu and told us what was available he returned and I asked for this desert and in an abrupt way said I told you what was available and I will tell you again we both ordered the cheesecake when it arrived it was still frozen and he took it away and I had the apple pie, this waiter has definitely got attitude problems and is in the wrong job

First visit to a Toby Carvery since Covid-19, and the experience was mixed. Very good service by our waitress Kelly, but she was clearly overworked and had little support (she was non-stop serving).Food was overall OK. One of us had the carvery and the other a bap (they didn't have tomato, lettuce or mayo though, but managed to conjure up a good alternative, even if it did take a while to arrive).Without Kelly, the overall score would have been a lot lower. She's testament to the team and helps make a mediocre (and dated) visit feel personal still and was thoughtful throughout. Give her a day off and get some more staff to ensure other guests have better experiences!

Kelly welcomed us with open arms (we had been there the week before) we we’re seated at a safe distance from other customers. The Chef was helpful and entertaining, he had another helper for the vegetables.....we think they should definitely keep this as a permanent thing as nobody becomes greedy and fills there plates high then leaves it so the food is wasted.....plus we can always go back for more vegetables....Food as usual was delicious meat cooked to perfection.....plus a good variety of vegetables. Well done everyone. Stay positive and safe everyone.

What a great improvement here since my previous visit in October which was a shambles. Hot Carvery food served by polite and friendly chefs a really lovely server Louisa who was happy friendly and attentive.And the icing on the cake was the amazing low price thanks to the half price scheme. Well done to the management for getting things done for the better. We look forward to returning soon

This is was our first time eating out since everywhere reopened, the staff made us feel relaxed and explained how everything was working straight away, really putting us at ease. We were served at our table by Kelly and our Dinners by George & Sam - all three staff members were helpful, polite, cheerful and creating a great, happy atmosphere, even while clearly being extremely busy! They make a great team and made our visit more enjoyable, we will definitely be back again :)Thank you for excellent service!!

First proper meal out since covid. The way they dealt with the problem of social distancing is amazing also the food was excellent and the staff very cheerful and friendly has calmed any fears about going out to eat again.

Helpful staff made an amazing dining experience with 4 kids under 7. Christina our waitress could not do enough and was so helpful with the kids. Our first post covid meal out was a delight. Victor (host) made sure we were comfortable. The place was spotless. Thank you to the wonderful staff!

The food has improved massively, staff are lovely and a credit to the restaurant. Kelly is an absolute asset to the team, couldn’t fault her if I tried! Ensured us a memorable and comforting experience which iced the cake with the huge improvements to the food and it’s quality!Give Kelly a pay rise!

Kelly met us at the door and explained with enthusiasm all about the new changes to the way we got our food. The young man who was serving our Carvery was welcoming cheerful and tutoring a new member of staff who gave us our vegetables and was also cheerful and polite. The food was absolutely delicious the meat was cooked to perfection and so many vegetables which was fantastic. The overall service was excellent. Each member of staff made sure their customers were ok all done with genuine care. Thank you especially to Kelly as she helped get my husbands food as sadly he was unable to hold a plate...

Visited last week for the first time in a while and was served by Kelly - who is a credit to the restaurant. Chef is also very polite and friendly. Food and standards seemed to have improved massively. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Definitely will be back soon.

what an improvement in food quality and staff. Managment is lovely hes done wonders. Kelly had great service.

Excellent food and excellent staff especially Libby Mae and Phoebe and all chefs happy and cheerful. Very enjoyable visit.

Excellent food and the service is spot on! We was served by Kelly and wow what can I say.... Kelly made the whole post covid dining feel natural and made you feel at ease and very passionate about her role! Good to see a happy smiling server who clearly enjoys her job! Breath of fresh air! Also Viktor who welcomed us and the chef carving were spot on and also happy, friendly and smiling members of the team! I will definitely be coming back again! Thankyou

Our awesome waitress Kelly made our day. We had one vegan, one vegetarian, one meat eater and a child and we all left feeling full and satisfied. Great vegan options. Thanks also to the chefs who were lovely.

The food in this establishment is only overshadowed by the kindness of the staff. Waitress Kelly and Chef Sam were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was lovely. The meats were all fresh and tasty. The vegetables delightful. Definitely give this place a visit.

I eat out a lot....but there is no better feeling than coming into this Toby. The staff work so hard from front of house to the bar and yet are always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I am so pleased to have seen it busy tonight. Also the vegan options are really good (I took three vegans here last week and they were impressed with the main and dessert choices!) A big shout out to David, Kelly and the chefs....you all make it seem effortless. Thanks from one well fed, happy lady!

Staying at the adjacent Travelodge, Toby was a natural choice for a relaxed, effort-free dinner.A welcoming, safety-focussed welcome. I'd not booked ahead, and the restaurant was full of 50%-off government scheme diners - like me. So I was seated in the bar area, which was fine, placing my order at the bar.My chilled pint of bitter was spot-on, on this warm summer evening. I'd opted for a bap-full of turkey and gammon, with a cheese and bbq sauce. With baked potatos and a side of miniature pigs in blankets. Real comfort food, and I felt totally full after that. (Not sure if I could have subbed for some veg, but next time I'll try, because tasty as it was, it was a rather heavy meal - my fault of course.)Good seating inside and out, nice staff, and amazing 50% off, as it was a Monday.Decor is tired, a bit scruffy, and the food is average at best, but it lived up to expections. Large tarmac car park outside, level access, tv sport inside the bar area.

Food was really good one of the best toby roasted i have had thanks to Sal master of the roast Service was great really friendly happy to help in any way thanks to victor Hope the spelling of there names are correct because they where amazing

I came here with my partner and daughter for a nice early lunch and was pleasantly welcomed and served by Kelly, who took very good care of us all. Even down to the carver himself, Sam. He was very informative and took the time out to talk to us during our visit. Will definitely be coming back

This was our first time eating out since lockdown. They have removed half the tables to spread everyone out, and our server (Kelly) was wonderful at reassuring us and keeping us safe. The food was good, service slower than normal because the chef now does everything for you - but I'd rather it be slow and safe. A great first meal out!

The chef (George) was great serving the children and interacted great with them, under the current strict situation New rules. Our waitress Kelly was also very helpful. George also made the best treacle sponge we’ve had at Toby for a long time. Thank you for making a first visit in 4months well worth it

Me and my partner decided to go out for dinner on Sunday, the service we received was amazing, firstly we were introduced to our waitress Louisa, who couldn’t do more to help us, she was so polite, lovely and had so much time for us, nothing we asked seemed to be an issue. Louisa explained the new rules that have been put into place since lockdown, me and my partner highly Recommend this Toby Carvery food was delicious will defiantly be back :)

Can’t wait to go again, from the min we walked in and left we was completely looked after our server KELLY was outstanding she was fanny and had that happiness people should crave for, made our night a treat, the place was COVID safe as u could ask for didn’t feel odd at all as I thought it would be, from the greeting at the door to the cooks and guys behind giving us the most amazing food I’ve had in ages felt like home when u was a kid lol, the face sized Yorkshire’s are huge again funny and friendly reminded me like I was at Butlins resort that vib as a kid,But again Kelly was truly amazing she didn’t stop running after us and anyone else she could hope she stays we would 100% go back if she was there serving us.. but all was good she was just best lol.. thank u for giving us our best family night out..

Amazing place brilliant workers espcially kelly loved it from the moment we arrived we were greeted kelly totally made me and my partner feel at home. And Sam who is in charge of the kitchen and cooking the carvery the meat is stunning and everything else really value for your money i would recommend this place to anyone who loves roast dinners on a weekday or seven days a week lovely service

Excellent COVID-19 measures in place. Clean, spaced out and all very calm and pleasant. Chefs serve all food, including veg. Drinks brought to table. Staff were helpful and clearly communicated the new protocols. Kelly was excellent - friendly & professional.

we came today to eat for the first time since we have been in lockdown. The environment is controlled, the numbers of visitors managed, the food completely handled by the chef only so no customers can touch the food. The food and pudding was really good and the service from Kelly was outstanding. Kelly really did serve us professionally, kindly and cateted for our table of children, adults and a baby. Very impressed. They have improved massively. Well done Toby Carvery.

Our waitress Kelly went above and beyond for us today. Such brilliant customer service and such a lovely experience. Very happy.

Visito spesso questo posto quando sono in Regno Unito e ogni volta sempre peggio. Il Carvery offre la scelta a buffer di 3 differenti carni e una vasta varietà di contorni di verdura fra cui piselli, cavolfiori, carote, broccoli e le immancabili patate arrosto. Il concetto è valido e buon mercato, quindi prezzi relativamente bassi con un buon equilibrio qualità prezzo. Il menù offre altre alternative fra cui antipasti, altri main course e dolci. Essendo questa una catena di franchising, ognuno di questi Toby dovrebbe offrire lo stesso standard qualitativo, infatti la sede di Watford è di gran lunga superiore in termini di qualità e servizio rispetto a questo di Borehmwood. Per ben tre volte facciamo fatica ad assaporare il manzo o beef che sorprendentemente è già esaurito alle 19.00 e non c'è stato modo di convincere lo chef e il manager di cucinare altro. In altri termini devi necessariamente servirti di tacchino e maiale anche se non è gradito. Servizio pessimo, approssimativo, non professionale e a tratti amatoriale del tutto fuori luogo. Pulizia che lascia molto a desiderare: tavoli lasciti sporchi per ore, moquette non curata e sporca che necessita di essere pulita.Il concetto è unico nel suo genere ma gestito molto male.

We went for an family evening meal while on a weekend away. Two of us had carvery and two children's meals, one of us had the large carvery which came with extra sausages, they didn't have them on the counter at the time so was told they would be brought to the table after, they were finally brought about 15mins later when the meal was all eaten. One of the children ordered beans with there meal but when the food came out the beans weren't on the plate they said they would be brought to the table after, they also came after the meal was eaten.

This particular branch of Toby is a family favourite. The food is always great and there is a nice atmosphere. On this occasion we were served by George for hot food and Kelly was our server, and both staff members were absolutely amazing. Their exceptional service made such a difference to our day and we would like to thank both of them for their time and positivity today.

Our second visit to this in a few weeks as we have tickets for a recording of a show at Elstree studio. Ideal for a lunch and very close to the studios. Staff have been very good on both occasions, although it is very quiet, and have made sure we are happy with everything. My wife is gluten free and the carver, when told, not only went through her options and then washed his hands again before touching her plate (very impressed). The food is good, normal Toby standard and the server has looked after us. Would recommend this place.

Been to this Toby a good few times, food is great. Staff are fantastic especially Kelly and Victor. Will definitely be back when I’m next in the area.

Good time to spend the sunday! We have been greeted by Kelly and made us feel comfortable. Thank you!

Excellent service and food was amazing. Served by a lovely waitress called Kelly who went over and beyond for us.
