"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."

"We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery."

"A fabulous building in a magnificent setting, so it is to be recommended to those interested in architecture, let down by the delivery. Staff were all well intentioned but would benefit from further training and a uniformly neat appearance. Our set Valentines meal should have had fizz and canapés beforehand but neither arrived. The waiter did not ask how we wanted the fillet steaks to be cooked when the order was taken, which was unusual but not a cause for alarm in a larger premises like this. A waiter brought the matched wine for the first and second course at the same time, which was seconds after the bread basket had just been offered, and could not say which glass was for which dish. Moments after the innocuous starter and subsequent sorbet had been whisked away another waiter delivered our steaks: one blue and the other rare not our preference at all, but we ate what we could and left the rest. Our only specific request when ordering the food was for one dessert to be substituted by cheese and for that to be placed on or beside our table immediately rather than removed from a chiller moments before serving. This was ignored despite repeated requests for it to happen and so the cheese proved to be tasteless. Overall the entire menu lacked imagination and the chef did not show skills that encouraged a return visit. We will monitor the menu for a change in the kitchen and return once the front of house staff have had an opportunity to gain a little more experience."
