"Haven’t visited this (our local Toby) for a while but took advantage of the £6 voucher offer. Was pleasantly greeted on arrival and the front of house manager acknowledged our request for a quieter table (which had been specified on the booking). Even though it was really busy, she was very considerate and did her best to accommodate the request. She also asked about any allergies which is often sadly lacking (my daughter has a peanut allergy) and my daughter was subsequently given the tablet listing all the menu ingredients for checking. Escorted to our table and delighted to find that Jackie was our waitress…whom we’ve had the pleasure of being looked after by before. Always attentive, proactive, cheery and professional…she epitomises good customer service and always ensures that all are looked after (without being pushy) in a timely way. She also advised us a free meal promotion raffle…our ticket number being 990. We all had the carvery and were served by a polite and friendly chef who whilst the plates were ‘normal’ size, provided decent portions of meat. The quality of the food was excellent and piping hot (I burnt my mouth on a roast spud). It was certainly the best quality food we’d had here since previous visits. We were offered desserts by Jackie but on this occasion were too stuffed to give them a go! All in all, a really satisfying visit and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again or recommend to others looking for a decent value meal of excellent quality. Keep it up Toby Carvery Almondsbury!"

"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."

"Visited the TC in Brighton Rd, South Croydon ...the first visit was back on 3rd December and it was lovely..hot food, decent portions and the vegetable top ups with relishes, excellent. super waitress service..We left a tip!! However, the 2nd visit, yesterday 17th December was a disappointment..The food, not so good, small carved meat, the chef seemed really mean about meat portion sizes and quite happy to carve meat that was about 10x10cm radius left on the board!! We had to ask for more meat and so this experience was very different to the previous visit.. This chef wasn't very cheerful and I felt his manner was abrupt!! The potatoes were cooked well but warm to cold, fresh cooked veg was served hot and on point but to be honest, I'm not sure to visit again simply because the carved meat portions were too meagre. Also, why aren't TC allowed to give customers the wing of the bird if they want to eat it? Surely, adults are of an age to be trusted to eat food with bones??? Maybe include a proviso or have customer sign a disclaimer??? The waitress service was okay not as on point as the previous occasion but a pleasant lady.. TC needs to ensure its food is piping hot, and when needing to be replenished, at sufficient intervals to ensure no long queues and waiting time and then a chef who isn't mean with carved meat portions (especially when dinerss aren't allowed to go back for more!! and in the later part of the afternoon/evening service."

"I booked a table for my family and as a family with neurodiversity as usual I requested a quiet corner or booth ... on arrival it was hot there was a note on the door saying the air con was off and there would be fans on in the resteraunt. I was informed there was no quiet space ...the resteraunt wasn't overly busy several booths were free but the hostess decided that she would seat us center table in the resteraunt ...the absolute worst place to put a child with neurodiversity ... in the center of the noise When I challenged this she told me that she was short staffed and the table we had reserved the previous reservation had ran over as they arrived late When I pointed out the booths she became quite rude shouting quite loud again that they were short staffed and that she couldn't move us Which then drew attention to us which is what we didn't want I guess that was her way of punishing us We went for the meal ... I have to go up and get the kids first as they won't speak for themselves and then went up for mine The gammon was about to run out so the server saved 2 little scraps for my 3 year old that she took back off the emder child's plate ...and charged me for 2 proper portions There was no sausages for the king-size meal ... we will bring them over I was told they are just cooking ... OK they never arrived and were still not ready when we left They had no meat ... apart from beef which was all fat ... or turkey It was all still cooking ... They had no veg ... cauliflower cheese and carrots were all out and the peas and green beans were dryer than a flip flop in the Sahara... inedible...no mac and cheese tbf that doesn't belong on a roast dinner There was onion in gravy they were raw None of the meals were discounted ... we wernt offered an apology but expected to pay full price for half the food being missing and there inability to time manage No one came to ask if our food was OK like they usually do so they can see which meals u picked .. cos they knew we would complain Also there were only fans in the entrance and bar area where the staff stand I was abolutley shocked that they presented me with a bill for 75 quid .... I left there hungry it's a disgrace I appreciate that they were short staffed and I do sympathise but don't take booking and stop walkins. Using that as an excuse is just poor I'd like to also point out the other tables we were refused actually remained empty throughout our visit Wasn't worth 75 quid and I will be looking for a refund of some of not all of that"

"We have been using Toby Carvery from the early days when it first opened and have always enjoyed the food and above all the friendly service. Unfortunately on our visit last night we didn't !! We had pre booked a table for 3 persons and...were due to meet our grand daughter there when she finished work which was due to be shortly after our booking time .The manager who was working on the front desk told us we could not go and sit at our table and have a drink whilst we were awaiting the arrival of our grand daughter.She was quite blunt and rude and basically said if you want to sit down now you will have to change to a table for 2 ? I understand if the restaurant was busy but it was 5.30pm and was less than half empty ! We then spoke to our grand daughter who was working a little later than expected and she told us to carry on and that she would go home instead as she didn't know exactly how long she would have been. This wouldn't have been a problem as we would have sat down and ordered a bottle of wine to drink whilst waiting for her. So we went and sat down very disappointed as we had not seen her for awhile we ordered 2 Heinekens which we promptly sent back as they were totally flat in dirty glasses. Things got even worse when we ate our meal as it was truly awful,the roast pototoes that had obviously left there for hours dried up and inedible,stringy chewy fatty beef, dried up cauliflower cheese,over done carrots,etc etc. This was undoubtably the worst carvery meal and experience we have ever had. The only plus point was that our young waitress was polite charming and served us with a smile,please take a leaf out of her book manager !!!"
