1st visit (party of 2) Quite nice, quite busy, food could have been a bit warmer. 2nd visit (party of 3) was uneventful. 3rd visit 30th November 2017 (party of 3) was not good, food was served on dirty plates with dirty cutlery, dessert took almost 30 minutes to arrive after ordering and when it did the plate was so dirty it felt gritty and had brown marks on the underside. When I told the waitress she took it away, I thought to bring a fresh one back but all she had done was tipped it from one dirty plate onto another, mushing the dessert in the process, when I asked politely that it be replaced her attitude was downright rude, I explained that I wasn't being picky but due to poor health I could not take the risk of eating food from a dirty plate,. I was totally ignored, no response whatsoever in fact she started asking another of my party if they wanted their coffee as they had finished their dessert. It took approx. another 20 minutes to bring me a fresh Christmas pudding out. I have attached a photo of the dirty spoonvi was supposed to eat with, I had to use the coffee spoon as I got that before my dessert. The toilets were also dirty with a foul odour of stale vomit. Not a pleasant experience at all and in all honesty has put me off going back again.

My partner and myself arrived here after booking a table early this afternoon for 16:30. During the booking, we were asked for any dietary requirements to which my partner stated he’d like the Mushroom & Ale Pie as he is vegan. We received no notification that the Mushroom & Ale pie was not available so we he headed on down. While we were ordering, the server informed us that there were no vegan dishes available as a menu reshuffle was taking place but did instead offer a vegan person, 2 separate dishes that contain cheese. He then said my partner could have a small plate of veg for a £2 reduction based on the price of a meat carvery. So basically my partner was offered a small plate of veg for £12.49! Nobody wanted to rectify this or reduce it even further. To make things worse, we’d been on holiday with my partners disabled uncle and we were looking forward to a nice meal together to end the holiday, but instead myself and my partner ate nothing and spend most of the time looking for somebody who had a vague idea of what was going on but the Manager or Assistant Manager was too busy sorting out the UBER eats delivery. I hope this raises awareness of having a contingency plan to substitute dishes during your menu reshuffle. Sadly we will not be returning to Toby Carvery ever again.

Best, possibly only, british breakfast buffet in area. They have sausages, bacon, mushrooms, scrambled and fried eggs, beans, and tomatoes. Interestingly they also provide what one assumes to be leftover from carvery Yorkshire puddings and chopped roasted potatoes, the latter of which actually goes well with the other breakfast components! Coffee is available at a small charge. Sadly there's no cereal bar, or fresh fruit or yoghurts, only hot fried/grilled food. There is brown and white bread for toasting but the small selection of jams are unappealingly presented in small mounds next to the bread rather than individual portions. Presumably this is to prevent the low quality guests from filling their pockets which simply doesn't surprise me. In my opinion there is a larger than average proportion of largely proportioned people (lardarses), many of whom struggle to keep their mouths closed while chewing. If you can manage to ignore the strange smells and sounds of this crowd (hint, go early, or select a seat facing a wall) then I honestly do recommend the well cooked food and polite staff
