Went to try the breakfast on Sunday after hearing good things from friends about a fried breakfast featuring Yorkshire puddings and gravy. It was okay, but not as good as we'd hoped and let down by a couple of frustrating but easily fixable issues. On the plus side: • There was lots of space • We got served very quickly • My friend asked for veggie sausages while we were paying and was told it wouldn't be a problem and they'd be taken to our table, which seemed like good service. • It was very cheap £7pp plus drinks • There was a good selection of food • It wasn't crowded so we could get plenty of food without waiting ages or being shoved about • The hash browns were great and the meat sausages were nice • The Yorkies were huge and crispy • The staff were polite and friendly but not fussy However, overall the experience was ruined by: • The Yorkies were stone cold, even when a new batch were put out, they seemed to only get a little warm after sitting under the hot lamp • The menu said the Yorkies had bacon and onion in them; there was barely a scrap of onion in any of them and most had none, I couldn't see any bacon at all. • The hash was overcooked, clearly been sitting a long time and again I couldn't find a single bit of bacon in it and hardly any cheese. • The veggie sausages were disgusting, they looked anaemic, like they'd just been shoved in a microwave to warm up. My friend couldn't even eat them. • There was no gravy to be seen; when I asked the waitress about this she looked unsure and went to ask the kitchen, she came back and told me that they said that there was no gravy served at breakfast, I said I thought I'd seen it on the menu online, but thanks anyway and she left. I double checked the breakfast menu on the table and it did indeed say there would be "breakfast gravy", the staff didn't come by again so I didn't enquire further. Overall it's nowhere near as good as it sounds, but it is cheap and I guess we got what we paid for, but it feels like the minimum they could do is ensure that the dishes are as described on the menu, staff are aware of what the menu says and can explain any differences, and that things are served properly cooked. Probably wouldn't bother going back unless I was passing and really hungover.

We went last Sunday, the 7th of April as a family of 3, my husband, myself, and our toddler age 2.5. This was the first time we went to a Toby. Unfortunately, the experience was upsetting. Though the lady at the reception welcomed us with a smile and showed us our table. However, the lady who took our order didn't bother to make eye contact or had a smile. She just was in so much hurry to move away from us. We felt awkward and out of place and so unwelcomed . For some reason, it seemed the two ladies who took orders didn't want us there and were least bothered to ask if we needed anything. We have been to numerous restaurants and never have we felt unwelcomed. Also after we finished our food, we waited for the ladies to get us the bill and they walked past us many times completely ignoring us. While they were all giggles with another family. My husband had to go to the server lady and ask for the bill and she just noded her head and got us the bill which was around 41 quid and just left. I would give a zero for hospitality and it was sad that they made us feel that way. The food was fine to be honest. But I think Toby Aigburth needs better staff who consider all humans as equal and make them feel welcomed.

This Toby Carvery was a large venue comprising large seating area for pub drinking and a separate restaurant area. Nice open spaces not, too busy on the Saturday afternoon when I was here. A nice touch was the 2 open fires makings it a warm friendly atmosphere. Staff were pleasant and engaging, all wearing the company uniform looking smart and professional. On this occasion I orderd Loaded roast potatoes and Southern Fried Chicken Strips. Turkey Sandwich with Gravey, Plum crumble with custard. Most of the food was to OK standard, chicken strips were more chicken nugget size and over cooked. Had the Breakfast the following morning, wow... What a feast, £5.50 and you can keep going back, how is this place not full to the brim with people at this price? Sunday carvery gets very busy according to the taxi diver who dropped us off, he takes lots of people and they ring him back as they can't get in because it's too full, he recommends you pre book the Sunday Carvery. Car Park on site with plenty of spaces available. If this review was informative enough for you give it a thumbs up for others.

We decided on a Monday night thinking it was going to be quiet but it was really busy. Unfortunately most of the staff were on a work night out so other teams had been brought in but there wasn’t enough staff for how busy it was. Our waitress was absolutely lovely also, but it was so busy and the restaurant was so short staffed that we waited a good thirty minutes before we even were offered our drinks. And then another 10 mins waiting in que for food. The area we were sat was so hot but again our waitress got us fans. The food was nice and the lady who was slicing the meats on the counter was working overtime as she was on her own but she was doing a really good job! There was no roast potatoes / cracking or famous gravy though… But the staff were busy and I appreciate it’s really hard work when there’s just not enough of you and too many customers. Food was good value £11.79 for two courses but just a bit disappointing in time waited and heat in restaurant…

OMG what an amazing Sunday dinner myself and my daughter had! Spoilt for choice! Food is delicious, I had lovely tender turkey with roast and mashed potatoes and the biggest Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen, macaroni cheese peas, vegetarian gravy, ordinary gravy or my favourite, cranberry sauce!. There was also gammon and lamb in the meat selection, my daughter had a bit of everything! Great variety of desserts to choose from, I had the Artic roll with fresh cream and my daughter had the Honeycomb sundae. The fire was lit and it was so cosy. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We were looking for a proper home-cooked Sunday dinner in a homely type environment and that is exactly what we got. I recommend booking a table before you go just in case as it was quite busy, you can do this by either phoning or booking online. Very reasonable prices as well. I am one very happy customer and look forward to coming back again highly recommended.
