Was our Christmas party when we went. It was really busy but service was fantastic when we sat down taking our orders, nothing was to much trouble for waitress at all, very friendly thanks again, beef was very good on our festive menu carvery..

Staff need to be trained to ask customers if they have vouchers. Not surprise you at the end telling you that you can?t use them and end up paying more than you expected. ?Computer says no? ?. They could easily have processed the voucher at the end of the meal. Poor customer

Really enjoy coming to breakfast here. The food is always hot and the staff are friendly. I couldn't ask for more.

Sorry to write this review but our meal today, festive menu, was not good! The mushroom starter was freshly cooked to order and was really nice but unfortunately it went downhill after that.The pork was overdone, pulled rather than carved, and no crackling. The vegetables were barely warm and the gravy was served with a slotted spoon!Sorry, but we'll not be coming again!

Shame our visit Tuesday 12th December , was disappointing, we had festive menu, and it was the main carvery meal that was a let down, no turkey , I ask you on a festive menu, very little meat, ok plenty of Vege but these were drying badly and not hot, looked like they had been there since morning, this was 4 30pm, nothing was anywhere near hot enough not even the gravy. Such a shame, when it could have been better with a little more care, it's it a staffing problem ? I wonder,

Appalling, got worse over the past few months, food constantly dry, variety non existent, food quality has been worse each week we have been, We have been repeat customers each week for 4/5 years ... but now we won't be returning, we walked in for our table, saw the food on offer at the carvery section n decided to go to KFC! Avoid not worth the petrol driving for ... you'll only end up disappointed!

I know there was a deal on, had to wait as table was not ready, but all tables were made up. Food was warm, the bill was brought just after meal had finished, told to pay at bar. Still finishing drinks lady came over and said we needed to pay as the table was needed. Had to leave table with our drinks. Service terrible!

Only ever been to a Toby carvery once and I know why. The service was pretty terrible. Waiting time was understandable for a busy Sunday, but I had no idea how this place works.We sat down after finding a table ourselves, then had no idea how we order as nobody told us or asked if we had been before (just assumed we know what to do). After wandering round trying to work out how to order, how the restaurant runs, we put our order in. Got to the carvery section and the gentleman serving was lovely and greeted us with a smile (best part of the experience so thank you to this gentleman) I took my plate back and we still didn't have any cutlery at our table (which we had to chase down ourselves) and the table and surrounding tables still were still covered in plates and drinks from previous people which us an another lady (customer) cleared ourselves. Its like full self service and guessing game in this place.I ordered the Broccoli and brie parcel which I found was watery, lacking in flavour and was inedible. (Such a shame because I'm not an overly fussy eater but I expect decent quality food) the cauliflower cheese was just watery and didn't taste of cheese whatsoever. The only thing that wasn't too bad was the roast potatos (which are hard to mess up) and the Stuffing.Will be asking for a refund and unfortunately won't be returning to a toby carvery again.

Tables very close together, roast potatoes, carrots seemed to have been out for a while as very dry. Yorkshire Pudding closely resembled pancakes. Very poor. Delay from kitchen for our gluten free order meant that the 3 of us had finished our food every after delaying going to the counter.A real shame. As a bonus they do offer Blue Light card discounts Mon-Fri.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free for Coeliacs

The food was of very goodquality as it usually is, however the meat proportion served in the carvery was very much reduced, based on previous visits,I really should have said something but didn't.The bar was very poorly stocked no beers on tap, (Cider and Lagers only)and very little to choose from in bottles.Overall ok but could do better!

Very slow service but staff were all lovely! Didn't get a glass for my refillable pop till I'd nearly finished my food which was a little disappointing. Food was delicious and it was nice to be served proper yorkshire puddings!

Called in early afternoon with a booked table, all good so far. We had carvery, Yorkshire puds flat, tough, stuffing, not very pleasant, beef grisly and fatty, no taste to the turkey, roast spuds had leftovers dish nobody was taking from. So people were taking spuds from fresh dish, cabbage not cooked properly, hard and stringy.The pictures on the website looks very enticing, but not this day, maybe a one off, but won't be going back to find out any time soon.

The food was decent. Good vegan and veggie options. Some of the people the Toby carvery attracts made the experience much less pleasant and less of a family environment due to the types of conversations happening around our family. There were tables that were very dirty and we saw people being turned away for tables when there were empty tables throughout our entire visit. We queued over 30 minutes for food also.

This has got better recently. We stopped coming to Toby's a few years ago. Now there seems a lot more choice and the veg is better cooked. This one at dronfield can be tricky to get in so best booking ahead if possible. Although he lady at the entrance told us once the booking system under books the restaurant so it's always best to drop in and check even if it says fully booked on the website. Would definitely recommend coming here.
