Sunday roast Toby Carvery

TheHoneyMonster

Got to admit I love tc as well, I go monthly with my girls, parents and grandma! The one we go to is really good, but one nearer us is really poor in terms of food.

OH was at the local Toby on Friday for the birthday of an elderly relative. I was working so gladly declined.

She came back and reported that I was right in my estimation of the place - the food was awful. So it looks like little has changed.

Must have known it was a year old thread when you posted.

We have a good Toby Carvery and I've been a very happy customer every time I've gone (in terms of food quality). I wouldn't expect 'haute cuisine' for £6.99 but its still delicious, never dried up and not watery like some places I've tried in the past. If anything was I'd ask for a replacement. One of the chefs did tell me that their carvery is one of the better ones, not all of them score so highly when reviewed/appraised. Its a nice treat for us and I always know we'll enjoy it. You get your food very quickly which is ideal for me (diabetic).

I have to be honest thought, I wouldn't go on a Sunday. I usually get some deal or other and always walk away wondering how they are making any money lol. My kids (who are both autistic and faddy eaters) adore the place.

We did go for Xmas dinner, which I did think was rather over priced (I'm mean, even though it was Xmas day and wage costs increase I still couldn't sit easy with nearly 10x what I normally pay for a meal). I've had worse Xmas meals but it still seemed over priced. For once I do have to say not all the starters were brilliant, and I couldn't really see where the extra money went, there wasn't much 'extra' about the meal. But I've had worse (particularly the last Xmas dinner I cooked myself for some reason it all went wrong after years of doing really nice ones, hence the reason for going to the Carvery lol). But its was £54 for an adult, so came to nearly £200 and I could almost buy a farm for that. I don't think we'll do it again.

I think it's fair enough, my daughter had to work Xmas day all through sixth form and uni as she worked in a pub, and she didn't ever want to, so the extra money was some compensation. I guess there are lots of people who wouldn't mind working then but in practice there often isn't anyone on the staff who does.

I wouldn't pay it myself but I'm happy to cook, I pre-prepare as much as possible and freeze the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings - make my own Aunt Bessie's
