Went up to be served Yorkshire & meat selection, only then to find warm carrots & mash which would not come off the serving soon as it was too dry? Once seated we found much to our dismay, that the beef & pork we had chosen was tough & grisly, told one of the staff that we were unhappy, she responded with sometimes the meat is like that & would we like another choice, which we turned down. We doubt if we will be returning. ### 2/5 — Toby’s Carvery 24/7/26 *2026-07-23, version 3.3.3* Substandard. The TV in vegetables hadn’t been refreshed for a long time and were ‘well worn’. The vegetable area was neglected and needed cleaning and tidying and the beef was so tough it was inedible. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-23, version 3.3.3* Value for money x ### 2/5 — POOR DRIED OUT MEAT *2026-07-13, version 3.3.3* Horrific carvery. Meat dried out and crumbling as carved. Veg looked as though it had been there since lunchtime we dined at 7pm! Roast potatoes looked as though they had been cooked at least twice. Should have realised there was an issue when they were two tables of diners!! ### 5/5 — Toby Carvery *2026-07-05, version 3.3.3* The worst food I’ve ever eaten in the Toby carvery Buckhurst Hill ### 5/5 — Helen Crook *2026-06-26, version 3.3.3* Always a good meal. Shame it is not as hot as it used to be ### 1/5 — To hot and dried out food ( lovely) *2026-06-25, version 3.3.3* Ask at reception for a cool spot due to the heat and was escorted to a table on the raised section of restaurant near to the buffet area, around the corner there was a air conditioning unit that was working we asked the waitress if we could sit there but was told it was reserved for a party of ten. While we were asking about moving, the original woman who booked us in came over to the tables that were booked for the party of ten and rearranged a table for two then escorted a couple to sit there. We were totally disgusted and annoyed. Food was not very good meat was ok but the rest had dried out under heating lights and lastly one of my pet hates is to be called love or lovely at the end of virtually every sentence by a complete stranger. ### 5/5 — Peter Clunie *2026-06-23, version 3.3.3* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-06-21, version 3.3.3* Brilliant food, lovely friendly service by Crystal. ### 1/5 — Disgusting meal today *2026-06-16, version 3.3.3* We visited toby in Cardiff A470 today the meal was cold the gravy was lumpy and the beef was all fat ,we complained and were given a load of cheek in front of other customers ,Disgusting . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mr Kay *2026-08-20, version 3.3.3* Had over 70 carvery told only allowed 2 slices ov meat and was glen two pieces ov gammon no more that 50mm square and felt bellied when complaining regards a regular patron. ### 1/5 — Booking’s *2026-08-12, version 3.3.3* Not working ### 1/5 — Mrs j Fenemore *2026-08-07, version 3.3.3* Hi is it always kids eating for £1 wot about customers that got no kids Toby carvery is a joke to them that go all the time ### 1/5 — X *2026-08-07, version 3.3.3* Doesn’t always work ### 1/5 — Cold food, *2026-07-31, version 3.3.3* Went to the celadon village branch 30 June 2-00 pm: Special offer pensioners offer £5-00 gteat price, but the vegetables were cold basically ineadable never ate the meals, we complained to the waitress who just said sorry, Paid the bill and left, been going there for years but won’t go back ### 1/5 — Toby monster *2026-07-23, version 3.3.3* Terrible app. And always out of wraps ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2026-07-21, version 3.3.3* The food at 5.30 was dry and looked like it had been sat there since lunchtime! The peas always look dry and discoloured. As a pensioner eating on my own they always want to sit me by the gravy counter where everyone walks past with their meals. ### 1/5 — Discount not given *2026-07-20, version 3.3.3* Called in at the Oulton Carvery with 4 friends and had the Carvery. My friend paid, but I had a code for 25% off which I gave the waiter. My friend paid the bill, but the discount was not taken off. It was a few days later I realised, but when contacting the Carvery, they said they could not do anything about it. Not a lot of money, but the principle that mattered and the way they dealt with it was very poor. ### 1/5 — Carvery *2026-07-13, version 3.3.3* Not worth the money any more the price is too expensive to what it was paid £44 for 3 dinners and 2 drinks ### 1/5 — Menu ?? *2026-07-07, version 3.3.3* Can’t find any menus or pricing ! Just promoting delivery or pick up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great choice *2026-08-27, version 3.3.3* Best value for money ### 5/5 — Mr Stuart George *2026-08-19, version 3.3.3* Been eating at this carvery for lots of years iv tried to day and this carvery is closed why is this as iv never been told this your next carvery is some miles away away burning my fuil to get there and return In my few is not very good is it Iv trie to use my voucher as iv never used it in all my years in eating at this Toby carvery I'm hoping I can use them ?

Carvery meat is tender but some of the vegetables (carrots over cooked and bland) all other vegetables are just perfect as is the Yorkshire pudding. Toby gravy very thin. Overall very happy with the food and service. ### 5/5 — G Payne *2026-07-18, version 3.3.3* Nice restaurant, lovely roast, friendly staff.
