Toby Carvery - Thorpe Bay

Arrived 10 minutes before booking but nowhere to sit until table ready because every table and chair is given over to those who are dining. So, stood for nearly 20 minutes before being shown to table. Queue for food was so long and so slow moving so more standing around. The meat was good, vegetables were fresh looking and cooked well, not soggy or sloppy. Very nice in fact. Roast potatoes were another matter: Greasy instead of crispy and not fluffy inside.
Waitress was too attentive and twice interrupted our conversation. I do not like this modern thing of being asked every 5 minutes if everything is ok, I will let you know if it isn't.
Overall, not a particularly nice visit so if I went again it would be on a weekday, never on a Sunday to quote an old song. I know kids can't be banned but many are a nuisance with no table manners and they waste an awful lot of food, but then so do some of the adults.

Had a lovely roast pork dinner my wife had the beef, mine was excellent hers was a bit tuff but all in all had a good night the lady that served us was brilliant thanks

great food, great price, great locations great service great overall

very good food and delious plenty of variety service very good defentinly will boom again

Lovely

Was lovely food. Our waitress was brilliant. I did notice chef never worn gloves while serving,which he should. He emptied the Yorkshire puds,one fell to counter,I popped it back on he he said don't touch then took it and binned it. But he had No gloves. Apart from that it was great. I'll come again to see if gloves are worn. I work in catering and it's law.

Arrive to a lovely smiling waitress who showed us to our seats, took our drinks order and explained where to go to get our food, who was attentive but not in our face.
Our dining experience was good and helpful and the food chosen was excellent look after by our friendly waitress [Blonde hair cannot remember her name] i have been to this Restaurant many time and always happy. Thankyou

Excellent food very fresh lots of choices and amazing service

Carvery and dessert (ice cream) were excellent. Waitress (Jane) was very helpful and efficient. One guest had a vegetarian meal that they didn't think was so good. Vegetarian menu probably needs improving.

I guess the reason I like the Toby carvery is the wonderful variety you have, there is always a choice of four meats, and a wonderful array of vegetables you can help yourself to, not to mention the tasty gravy and sauces.
