We've been enjoying a carvery meal at Barnsley's Toby for years and, on this occasion, it was possibly the best meal we've ever had there. All the meats and vegetables were scrumptious and all the food and gravy was hot. As usual, all the staff were friendly and very helpful too :-)

We booked for 6.30pm. We were seated on time however the waitress seemed have disappeared it took nearly 15 minutes before she came to take our order. When we got to the carvery they were running out of Yorkshire puddings, the ones that were hard and virtually inedible. What meet that was available seemed to be the scrag end of the joint. When we went for sauces( mint, apple etc.) guess what? .. nothing. Another table complained about exactly the same issues.Normally our visits to here are excellent so we shall put it down to a holiday glitch

Great place! 5 Carveries, 4 deserts and drinks, just over £115. Not bad at all!It can get really busy though on Sundays we have been before and we were waiting around for a long time even though we booked in advance.Parking: Make sure you log your vehicle reg in Toby Carvery entrance

Our table was booked for 10.15, we were told to get a drink from the bar and we would be told when we could be seated, at 10.30 my son went to ask when we would be seated and he said he had forgotten about us. We got to our table and had no cutlery, so went to ask for that to be told we should have paid at the bar first, but that was not explained to us. My granddaughter is only 3 and takes time to eat and when we went for food we were told, fill up because we take it off at 11. So in 30 minutes we had to do all that, why book people in after 10am when they feel rushed. Many other customers complained too. Its the last time I use toby carvery

Food was alright, service was good considering how busy it was, if you ever go to a toby carvery, DO NOT TAKE YOUR MOANING CHILDREN. NOBODY WANTS THEM THERE. irritating little things. All was good apart from the table of 6 screaming kids on it. Wanted to kick em all in head.Kid-friendliness: No. Everybody doesnt want kids there. The staff dont appreciate then and neither do other customers.

I think that the only thing that could be improved is the salt cellar. The salt inside is damp so then it won't come out of the cellar. Put a bit of rice in with the salt to stop this. Other than that everything was brilliant, the food, the service and the ambience of the place. I love coming to Toby.

Food was amazing. Service was goodHowever the guy who booked us in was not very friendly and did not appreciate that two of us were disabled. Thought he could have been more accommodating more disabled parking spaces are requiredParking: Not enough disabled parking

Waited a while even after booking. Not too long but very hectic. Food was generous portions of meat and self service for rest. Drinks were fine. Food fresh and hot. Will go again but probably not Sunday before Christmas. Too

Absolutely appalling service tonight. Me and my partner went for a carvery. When we went to get a plate of food the two young guys at the serving area was throwing food around and slamming it on to the plates so much that the meat and Yorkshire pudding flew off on to the side and they just threw it back on again. When we sat down to eat I found it impossible to eat the Yorkshire pudding because it was rock solid! The drinks that we ordered when we first sat down never even came! Will not be returning ever again. £30 wasted.

Always warm and cosy. Meat is rarely overcooked, veg variety varies and as much as you want. Quality is good and value is the best in the area. We book as you will wait at popular times.Dietary restrictions: They cater for individual allergies.

We were booked for 5pm on Thursday. The veg was rather dry and baked and the gravy not very warm. I think it had been sat under the warming lamps for quite a while.We raised our concerns with our server Ruby, who was very sympathetic and apologised on behalf of Toby. She then went on to deduct 2 of the 4 carvery meals off our bill. A negative experience turned into a positive, thanks to Ruby.
