Came here for breakfast and the area for the food was dirty the bacon looked very undercooked and there was no plates as the plates area was dirty aswell and the eggs looked as if they had been rushed and slapped on to this metal thing and they wanted 60 quid for this horror show of a all you can eat breakfast + 3 rifillable coffees and 3 apple juices. Will never come here again.

Decided to pop into Toby Carvery today on a whim. We requested a table away from children in the bar area. We were pointed to a table big enough for6 when there were just 2 of us, surrounded by children. We waited a little while for table service and we also asked at the bar. Apparently only one section was open. Our server passed us 3 times and ignored us. After 10 timiutes of this we walked out and went somewhere else. Terrible service.

I went with my daughter as a spur of the moment action. We dined in the bar area, still had a comfortable table and good spacing between other diners . Not knowing the size of portions I ordered the large carvery but on seeing the size of my daughter's standard portion I would be happy with that. There was plenty of selection of vegetables and all piping hot. You can book in advance for the main dining area, but we went at a busy time and still felt comfortable eating in the bar area. There was plenty of soft drinks available for those who are driving. I look forward to eating here again. Plenty of parking with a blue badge close to the entrance.

It was Mothers Day and I was a party of 5. The place was heaving so much so the car parking space was very limited. My wife went to get her food and queued for 45 minutes. My brother and I refused to eat due to the length of the queue. Consequently I cannot comment about the quality of the food. Not a pleasant experience as I had driven 118 miles to meet family there.

Aside from waiting an age on a quiet afternoon for food, before having to chase, I've genuinely never seen such a sorry looking tart. It was supposed to be topped with goats cheese but there wasn't even a hint in the taste or visually. Loaded Mac and cheese was chilled at base of the bowl and cold internally, we had to return to ask it to be heated.

After waiting 59 minutes after the time we booked the table to then go to queue for food where they were queing through restaurant we decided not to stay. We spoke to people who were waiting over 40 mirin the queue just to get to nearby the chef. I believe if we was told on arrival how long delays were we could have decided what we wanted to do. Very disappointed

We have been visiting this carvery for years and usually have a fairly positive experience. However, I wanted to express my disappointment with my recent visit on Mother’s Day, as it was the first time we've dined our for Mother's day and unfortunately the worst dining experience I have ever had. There was a 20-minute delay in being seated. We were asked to wait in the bar, but it was also overcrowded with no available seating. The carvery queue took 40 minutes, meaning most of our allocated dining time was spent waiting in line. The queue’s location caused diners to bump into seated guests, disrupting their meals. The restaurant was overcrowded, loud, humid, and generally unpleasant. The carvers’ uniforms, especially their hats, were visibly dirty, raising hygiene concerns. Only one hour was allocated per table, but much of this time was wasted waiting to be seated and queuing for food. The lack of queue management led to obstructions for diners, servers, and disabled guests. A staggered system should have been implemented to avoid congestion and maintain a more comfortable dining experience. The size and location of the queue were likely a health and safety concern, as it created obstacles for both diners and staff. Additionally, the queue made the restaurant inaccessible for disabled diners, which is unacceptable and should be addressed to ensure inclusivity for all guests. The extensive queueing time meant some disabled or elderly diners couldn't manage the long wait, leaving them alone at the table for an extended period while their relatives queued. This is not an inclusive policy and should be reconsidered to ensure all guests can enjoy their meal together. A family we knew, including a disabled guest, chose not to wait in the long queue. When they informed the waitress, she criticized them to a colleague after they left, which was completely unprofessional. This situation was frustrating and unacceptable, and I believe management should take steps to improve organisation, hygiene, and customer service to prevent such issues in the future. That said, despite the meat portion varying depending on the carver, the food was fairly nice. I believe this restaurant would be a satisfactory choice on a non-event day when it is likely to be less crowded. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and address these concerns.

Fuimos en familia para el Día de la Madre. Esperábamos que estuviera ocupado pero era absolutamente ridículo, habían reservado demasiado, el lugar era maníaco, hicimos cola durante 45 minutos para nuestro carvery, literalmente no podías seguir adelante allí. ¡Definitivamente habían reservado demasiado, que en lo que a mí respecta era solo pura codicia! La puerta era agradable, pero no suficiente elección de verduras.

Llevamos años visitando esta carvery y solemos tener una experiencia bastante positiva. Sin embargo, quería expresar mi decepción con mi reciente visita en el Día de la Madre, ya que fue la primera vez que cenamos nuestro para el Día de la Madre y desafortunadamente la peor experiencia gastronómica que he tenido. Hubo un retraso de 20 minutos en sentarse. Nos pidieron que esperáramos en el bar, pero también estaba lleno de gente sin asientos disponibles. La cola del carvery tomó 40 minutos, lo que significa que la mayor parte del tiempo asignado para comer se pasó esperando en la cola. La ubicación de la cola hizo que los comensales se toparan con invitados sentados, interrumpiendo sus comidas. El restaurante estaba superpoblado, ruidoso, húmedo, y en general desagradable. Los uniformes de los talladores, especialmente sus sombreros, estaban visiblemente sucios, lo que generaba problemas de higiene. Solo se asignó una hora por mesa, pero gran parte de este tiempo se desperdició esperando a sentarse y haciendo cola para comer. La falta de gestión de colas provocó obstrucciones para comensales, servidores e invitados discapacitados. Debería haberse implementado un sistema escalonado para evitar la congestión y mantener una experiencia gastronómica más cómoda. Es probable que el tamaño y la ubicación de la cola sean un problema de salud y seguridad, ya que crea obstáculos tanto para los comensales como para el personal. Además, la cola hizo que el restaurante fuera inaccesible para comensales discapacitados, lo que es inaceptable y debe abordarse para garantizar la inclusión de todos los huéspedes. El extenso tiempo de cola significaba que algunos comensales discapacitados o ancianos no podían soportar la larga espera, dejándolos solos en la mesa durante un período prolongado mientras sus familiares hacían cola. Esta no es una política inclusiva y debe reconsiderarse para garantizar que todos los huéspedes puedan disfrutar de su comida juntos. Una familia que conocíamos, incluyendo un huésped discapacitado, optó por no esperar en la larga cola. Cuando informaron a la camarera, ella se los criticó a un colega después de que se fueron, lo que fue completamente poco profesional. Esta situación era frustrante e inaceptable, y creo que la dirección debería tomar medidas para mejorar la organización, la higiene y el servicio al cliente para evitar este tipo de problemas en el futuro. Dicho esto, a pesar de que la porción de carne varía dependiendo del tallador, la comida era agradable. Creo que este restaurante sería una opción satisfactoria en un día fuera de evento cuando es probable que esté menos concurrido. Espero que tome en serio esta información y aborde estas preocupaciones.

For mother’s day me and my family decided to have a meal out at my mothers favourite place, on arrival we ordered drinks and the glass given to my mother was dirty with food residue on the bottom and inside the glass. We then ordered food which took 30 minutes to arrive. Whilst in Toby Carvery, waitresses were bumping into everyone and every table. We then decided to order some desert which took another 35 minutes to arrive. When my chocolate fudge pudding arrived, it was stale and dry. I’m very disappointed as i had higher standards. The food in general was not up to standard and was just old. The plate given to my mother had old food residue on the bottom. Considering it’s mother’s day i expected more.

Toby Carvery is looking tired and unloved. Carvery bar was messy with food all between the dishes and the Mac + cheese was super stodgy. I ordered the Salmon Wellington as I'm not a huge fan of traditional cooked meats and we were out as a large family group of 12 who all enjoy a carvery. The salmon was a tablespoon of fish with a tiny amount of sauce in the biggest hard puffed pastry. Really disappointed and very underwhelming - and price does not reflect the quality. Kids meals- chicken burger is actually 4 nuggets in a plain hard bun. Kids desserts said they came with Cadbury s flake- which were missing. Our tables were wobbly, the decor dated and the walls near us were peeling and stained with old food and drink spills. The carpet is covered with Hazard tape and 3/6 ladies loos had no loo roll. Service wasn't great, although we said not all were having carvery- they did not stay to take our order properly, forgot someone's drink, didn't come back to ask if we wanted another round of drinks and one of the older waiters barely engaged when asking about desserts. Overall I was rather embarrassed to have brought family from out of town when I did not realise how dire and downhill it has become. Such a shame as I remember great times here in the past.

Would give 0 stars if I could. I ordered a carvery with beef and gammon, and all you gave me was one measly slice of each meat, and the slice you gave me was 90% fat there isn't even any meat, I would like a refund because I'm not a malnourished child that needs a slice of fat. I want some meat. Gammon tastes very salty, pork had no flavour at all. (I tried from my partners carvery) Earthy tasting veg, hardly any stuffing and only one Yorkshire pudding. I certainly didn't pay for that. Terrible food, terrible service, won't be ordering from you again.

Arrived to be 'greeted' by a scruffy, ill-tempered, rude woman on the front desk. We had not booked, like the elderly couple in front of us to whom she was even more rude. Gave them a disgusted look and didn't even leave the desk to show them to their seat, just motioned with her hand. Took us to a tiny table in the middle of an aisle surrounded by occupied tables, whilst half the restaurant was roped off. When we asked if there was anywhere else to sit, she curtly replied 'no'. We walked out and will not be returning. When restaurants are complaining about fewer diners these days, quite why they would put someone like this on the front desk is beyond me. If this is the calibre of their staff, would not like to think what lurks in the kitchen.

We are regular visitors to the Toby Carvery in Whitchurch and always enjoy our visits. The beef was beautifully tender and there was plenty of it. There was plenty of choices of potatoes and veg, and the only complaint we had was that the ice cream machine was out of order. Our server was Della who always looks after us, she’s so friendly and a real grafter to boot, to be honest, if we go for lunch and she’s not there, we’re disappointed. We'll be going back very soon
