"Website is deceiving, and does not show the reality. The website is beautifully designed, and visually opulent giving the impression of a large, plush interior. The menus included brunch, main, dessert and drinks. The actual restaurant is very small cafe, with extended outside seating, with a few staff members lounging around. Arriving for lunch at 12 noon, the whole place was empty, and booking was unnecessary. The staff were disinterested in our arrival. We had to seat ourselves. Seating was comfortable. When asking for a menu, were told to scan a QR code on the table, and when trying to order from the main menu, was told that only the brunch menu was available. The smoked salmon and scrambled egg dish was nicely done and tasty. The ice tea was overly sweet, but the coffee was decent. It was clearly a Muslim eating place, posing as an European restaurant, with the name 'Boulevard '. That Friday, a crowd of Muslim men from the nearby mosque in Regent 's Park came in after prayers. They were treated differently, excitedly welcomed. It was clearly their regular haunt. It felt like an eating place for Muslims, where non-Muslims were not particularly welcomed. However, the other customers were friendly, and more polite than the staff. It was quiet and easy to talk, until the crowd arrived. Overall, the price for the meal was not worth the experience of eating there. Service charge was included, although service was bad. We would not go back."

"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."
