Slow service. Table not prepared on arrival. Long wait to be served. Carvery Food excellent, but slow service here too as each meat portion weighed ( Never seen this done before at a Toby restaurant.) Request to pay bill also took an age, and had to chase up. Home of the Roast. More like Home of the long wait.

We always love the Toby and come at least twice a month. The food is tasty and the portions are generous.

I use Toby quite a lot. Recently I've noticed that we have no sooner finished our meal that the staff are bringing the bill. It has all the feel of a production line. I could understand if the Toby was busy. When I booked on line we were given 2 hours and only used half this time. Stop rushing to move people, take a breath.

The experience was excellent as was the food - though it could have been just a little bit hotter

I have dined here a number of times. The Toby carving has never disappointed me. I just do not think it’s smart to order off the card/menu. The server seem to have their hands full just bring out the drinks. If you want a good meal just have the carving and skip the desert.

Booked a table for 19.30 Hardly any vegetables were available, all having ran out, the chef said due to being so short staffed and has been this way for some time.

Have been a few times, the staff are really polite and helpful. The restaurant was a little chilly this time, and the food was nice but unfortunately only warm, not hot, but great value for money, will definitely go again.

The food was great, and the staff really friendly and helpful, and the price was really reasonable. However the food did go cold pretty quickly, probably because it was quite cold in the restaurant and my plate wasn't very warm, however I had the first plate off a new pile, my friends plate was off the previous pile and her plate was quite hot. But would definitely go again.

We love the Toby. Marie, our server, was excellent as always and made us feel very welcome. We will be back often. It is easy for us to get to, has good parking and has a nice atmosphere.

Went to the Toby and was really disappointed The vegetables were all dried out it took the waitress 4 rings to even get the chef out to serve. We were the only people waiting The roast potatoes were so long out the potatoes in the middle was gone and it was chewy skin What an absolute waste of 62.00

Well Located with ample parking. Seated immediately in private booth. Food quality very good with plenty of selection, only one small negative comment, the food could have been hotter especially the 'yorkshire puddings'. Drinks were reasonable prices and look forward to my next visit.

I was sorry to have to inform you that after going to this establishment for some time i was very disappointed. The food was very good as usual how-ever there was not enough staff and the service was very slow. On going to the ladies I found the toilet paper on the side the roll soaking wet as if it has fallen in the toilet and just left there. Had I not been previously it would have put me off going again. Perhaps you can rectify these problems to ensure standards do not slip and i can enjoy the carvery again.
