Toby Carvery - Newbury

Stopped off on the way to Newbury races and was greeted at the front of house by JOSH the General Manager. After giving me a very friendly welcome I got down to business. He took my drinks order & his better half who runs the place in partnership with him showed me the way to the carvery!! Now the Toby Carvery chain have a deal on at the moment where small Carverys midweek are £6 ! Better than paying £11 for a small pie & mash at the races I hear you say! There were hoards of people coming in and out obviously taking advantage of the deal & the staff were frantically trying to reset the tables for new customers coming in. I opted for a small gammon & pork as you can mix & match the meats 🍖. To get the pigs 🐖 n blankets, (which is just a cooked sausage i might add) you have to size up to a large! After the chef had sorted my cuts of meat out with a massive Yorkshire pudding, you are left to help yourself to the veg, gravy & condiments as you wish. Now I wasn't that hungry and didn't load the plates like I've seen some doing in the Toby in Nottingham which is my usual one, but the food was spot on with crispy roasties and the meats 🍖 were not too dry under the heating lights. As it was so busy the veg had been like all piled together a bit but that's down to them being so busy. Anyway, the place was clean & tidy on arrival with a warm welcome. The food was spot on with A1 service & the discount was an added bonus too! I will call again, next time im on my way to the races!! Well done Toby Carvery in Newbury.

Toby Carvery is a great spot in Newbury to enjoy a classic roast dinner. After many years of going to this local restaurant it’s safe to say new staff and management has finally made the restaurant run smoothly. The food during the visit was all perfectly cooked, previously I’d found food to be slightly cold or food options not available but with Josh running the restaurant like a well oiled machine the food was impeccable. The service provided by Josh and the rest of the team was excellent! I attended with family and Josh provided extra attention to detail. Small things like spending a little more time at not only our table but other tables around the restaurant to ensure everyone was happy. And giving more time to allow younger members of our family to order their own food which is great for their confidence! I can’t praise the staff enough after the recent visit, it’s clearly gone up leaps and bounds! I’d highly recommend heading in during the weekdays while it’s slightly quieter (and cheaper!!)

I came here for a late lunch with my disability group after we had been to Living Rainforest nearby. The staff were helpful, although it would be sensible if one had passed on all he knew to the other when handing over. The food and drinks were excellent.
