Toby Carvery - Amesbury

Love a good carvery, and you know what you’re getting here, but over and above most other branches, I think the staff here are the most charming! Lovely service at the bar, chatty chefs at the pass, and cheery chaps and chapesses taking orders and clearing tables. Big fan!

Frequently visit Toby for Sunday dinners but had an exceptional visit today. Every part of the dinner was perfect - tender meat, crispy potatoes, delicious gravy. Top service from Bailey who made the visit that extra special and was happy to accommodate our weird request of ordering a pudding to take home. 10/10 - would overeat again

Visited on Friday Evening, around 6:45/7pm. When arrived we had to wait to be seen for a table for 10 mins, even though we booked and there was 2 staff members stood behind the bar not doing anything. Waitress was really nice, albeit lack of communication as asked multiple times for drinks order after we’d ordered. Then the food, we opted for 5 carveries, which was the first mistake. Only had Gammon & Turkey and the end of a dry bit of beef. Yorkshires weren’t fluffy or crispy, just soggy and flat. The vegetables were well stocked, but not very nice. Food wasn’t warm, even after being under the hot plate, which makes one wonder how long it had been left out for? Then when we were sat eating, we had a booth near refill machine; all we could hear was the kitchen staff playing there music really loud, so much so we couldn’t hear the restaurants music and it wasn’t the most appropriate choice of music. Luckily had a discount code to use, but in my opinion that was still too much for the level of standard of food. Sadly won’t be returning, which is a let down as we’re only 5 minutes away.
