Toby Carvery - Chemlsford

Never visiting again, was bad before they had the place done up but it’s even worse at least before you got asked if your food was ok. Don’t really know where to start, the fact that the staff and manager was standing at the bar ignoring people waiting to be seated was when I should have just left, then there was no carver was to be seen and was left waiting for 10mins then the kitchen staff just stood there staring at us for no reason and didn’t sort out the dry nasty food then disappeared and was never seen again. Then the manager was just standing there bopping away to the music rather than getting his staff to do their jobs and sort out the food or clean up the food on the floor around where you ge your food. The hygiene was so bad that it made me feel sick, asked for the bill and never got asked how our food was which is poor service, leaving the majority of our food because it was so rubbish wouldn’t even take it back for the dogs to eat

Breakfast visit, the selection was empty and what food was left was so bad it was disappointing to say the least. The bacon was the only part that was ok but then it was dry . The eggs we had to wait for arrived snotty and literally floating in oil . The scraping of beans I managed to get was cold and runny . The sausages were ok but again just lukewarm. My coffee was tasteless and bland . After waiting 5 minutes for the toast machine to complete making my toast everything was cold . £11 well spent not really. I would have to recommend you avoid this Toby until they get their act together and deal with the problem. The chef can’t be a real chef to put out food on this low quality. It’s just basic food. Beans , egg , etc . Very disgusting and disappointing visit. Even the bread for the toast was empty. Visiting 45 minutes after opening it’s not like we arrived at the end of the breakfast service.

Booked but had to queue outside even with a booking. Ordered chicken nuggets for my 2 year old, came up completely inedible, hard and brown inside, I couldn’t even cut it. Waitress went and got some “fresh” ones. They were just as inedible. I wouldn’t have even fed them to my dog let alone a toddler! They would have made him seriously unwell if he could bite into them. Queue for the food was another 40 mins. Found string from the vegetables in my cabbage. Cheese mushrooms that was ordered as a side came up freezing cold. Waitress was very helpful and sorry for the quality of our food. We wasn’t charged for any food as it was appalling. Aside from our waitress the other staff were not exactly friendly. Tables were left with used plates etc on for a long time.
