🍖 Meat Quality: 9/10 🥦 Veg & Sides: 9/10 👤 Service: 10/10 🛋 Atmosphere: 9/10 💷 Value: 9/10 💬 “Classic Toby Carvery comfort. Meats carved to perfection, generous portions, and plenty of hot, fresh veg. Staff were warm and attentive, and the dining area was spotless. Great value for a hearty meal.”

Visited on Sunday 10th August. Parking a bit tight when busy. Pub is nice inside with plenty of tables. Toilets are reasonably clean. Okay lets do the niggles first - You have to queue to check in which is about as slow as checking in at the Airport, this needs to be changed, especially for people who struggle to stand for long periods. The person checking was even showing people to their tables, when there was at least 5 staff standing around in the bar area?? The next thing is we wanted the carvery and there is no clear instruction of how you pay? We had to go and ask at the bar to find out, only to find, you have to pay at the bar!! It is very dis-jointed, because when you eventually get to the service point you are asked if you want a king size plate or a normal one, which you can easily say you paid for a king size plate and i suspect many people are able to walk up and get their food without paying. It is a very odd way of service, which again could easily be simplified. Then the queue to get your food!! We stood there for about 10-15 minutes to get out food. If you pay for a kingsize plate you can have to pigs in blankets (pigs with no blankets) and not a very nice flavour. Also you get to have 2 meats which i opted for Gammon and Lamb, with a choice of Turkey, Pork and Beef. The meat is nice to be fair. You can help yourself to the rest which includes fresh vegetables, stuffing, roast parsnips, roast potatoes, onion gravy and normal gravy and condiments of mustard, mint sauce , cranberry sauce. Maybe we just visited at a peak time but it was to much standing around. The food was okay, the roast parsnips were nice as was the stuffing, but the Yorkshire had no flavour and the roasties were lovely cooked but not too much flavour either. For those with a large apetite, you can certainly get your fill here. Would we visit again - probably not based on all the standing around and trying to check in. Also please clean the ashtrays, they are disgustingly dirty.

Lovely food, I was offer the whole joint of meat if I wanted it as I had joked about taking it all. I even got the crispy bits which I like. Service was very good and personal from Sebastian.
