Toby Carvery - Woodford Green

Generally the food was good but despite an early 12.00 booking there was no crackling left to go with the pork and the roast potatoes were disappointing as they were not crisp and I thought you were famous for your crisp roast potatoes.

Brilliant service food all good

This was my fourth visit to Woodford Green and as previously was given a warm friendly greeting on arrival. We were shown to our table but that was really all. Our waiter did not come and offer us any drinks, nor did he suggest we join the queue for the food so it was fortunate that I knew the procedure. As always good selection of vegetables, although the cauliflower was disappointing as it was lukewarm and over cooked. Both turkey and pork were excellent. Yorkshire pudding was fabulous. I eventually had to call the waiter for drinks! I might add at that at 4.30 pm the restaurant was quite busy but the waiter was certainly not rushed off his feet so even though we left a tip he really did nothing for us. However, we did enjoy our meal and this would not stop us returning.

I love the Carvery & desserts

Very nice meal and service

been coming to this toby for some time and the experience is getting bad the food is not nice the roasts potatoes burnt they have had the skins still where they havnt gone through the machine properly there was no pasta of any kind for my granddaughter which they didn't tell us til 10 mins later there are a load of things wrong not got enough space

Food excellent, hot & tasty. Plenty of variety. Waitress willing & helpful.

Good cold and it took too long

I use your Toby every week and thought we would try Woodford as we was near...I was not happy with this Woodford Toby, their was 2 joints of beef on the hot plate, !! Very strange as it was not busy when we got to be served 1 of the joints of beef was red raw!! Bleeding raw, the other was only a little better, the 2 lady's behind us said that's not cooked to Vern rear I had to agree.
When we started to eat the yorkshires just crumbled like a biscuit so dry and hard and the beef was so tuff hard to cut with a normal knife and you could not chew it.
It was the worst Toby I .. at 62 years old have ever been in.
We did tell the waitress about the beef and she cam back and said kitchen manager told here it was rear to medium rear.
We will not be back to that Toby we will return to Buckhurst Hill its total different and better.

Easy booking. This time I went the chef had support with dishes being refilled without chef having to leave counter and leave customers waiting. Unfortunately most other times chef is on his own and counter gets into a mess and pots of veg etc empty and looking dried up.
