"On arriving at the Toby Carvery I booked in through the registration system, as I was prompted to do so by the duty waiter who was seating personnel. On completion of the meal, I paid my dues and drove home. Approximately 10 days later, I got a PCN fine through the post, stating I was illegally parked in the Toby Carvery car park during the period of my meal. Euro Car Parks who is representing Toby Carvery were requesting a minimum payment of £60 if paid within the set time, or a £100 if I was to appeal or to go over the limited time in which to pay. I had pre booked my table for the times specified on the PCN fine notification, and I am right in saying, the car park is for Toby Carvery customers, of which I was according to the timings on the PCN notice fine. I had a reservation issued by Toby Carvery, and I am now facing a fine for parking in their car park, talk about taking your money and then shooting you! Furthermore, I am a registered 70% disabled war veteran, who hold s a blue badge, so parked accordingly. As you can appreciate, my walking ability isn't great, and greatly reduces my movement capability, and so therefore, can only walk from the car to the restaurant, hence why I parked in the car park, and that said, why are innocent people who are supporting the Toby Carvery chain being penalised for attending their booked table, and paying a fine similar to the charge for the meal, how is that right? It's not right, it's absolutely absurd and ridiculous, and I am shocked that Toby Carvery are supporting such actions, especially when it involves unfortunate disabled people like me. I must admit, I enjoyed all the times I spent at Toby Carvery, but since this stupid system/ action, I will no longer be visiting the restaurant anymore the whole setup with Euro Car Parks is a sham, and if they want to destroy their business, by penalising innocent people, then carry on."

"I am reviewing the Restaurant in this post having also enjoyed a two night stay. The evening meal came as part of the generous package of Two course dinner when booking the room. Reception was extremely friendly and the comprehensive menu was brought to our pre prandial seats in the Bar in front of a roaring log fire. The menu was a delight to the eye and very comprehensive with, I am sure, something for everyone 's taste. I am a fan of duck dishes and the starter the first evening was a 'duck ' salad with rocket. Not what I would have normally combined but I gave it a go and have no regrets. My wife had the garlic mushrooms and says the same. For mains I thought to avoid the 'usual offerings ', Steak, Fish and Chips, Burgers etc.., and went for the Butternut Squash and Spinach Risotto as, although I AM carnivorous by nature, I wanted a change. It was gorgeous and just enough. Not overfacing at all and yet not 'twee ' in presentation. My wife had chicken and reports well on it. All washed down with a lovely Tempranillo from a limited but wide ranging list. No desserts. Gulp. I would have loved the mixed fruit crumble with custard but there was no room left. A good excuse to go back. Next evening was the same routine. I noted Crayfish as a starter and having been re-assured this was not just a fancy name for Prawn cocktail it was ordered. My wife had chicken liver pate with no regrets but I had to offer a Crayfish nibble to assuage her curiosity. We both confirmed how good it was. For mains I determined to try the Risotto again and this choice was also taken up by my wife. We both loved it. Ten out of ten. Again it went with another bottle of Tempranillo. And, sadly, again no Fruit Crumble was tried although it was offered. Memo to self. Go back soon and often. This place is too good to miss out on for long. Two of the nicest dining out experiences I have had in a long time. Not too fancy and pretentious but just good honest food, well cooked and presented."
