Toby Carvery - Darlington

Great staff and very friendly. Lovely roast, all the meats were great and loved the leak and potato slices (gorgeous) and the mash. Nice gravy and standard stuffing. Average roast potatoes. Nice pork cracking. Toby’s in the North are way better than the south.

The food was brilliant, had a choice of lamb and pork and my wife the same with also beef (cheeky), all was cooked to perfection. The cheff that was trimming the meat was also very friendly with the biggest smile I have ever seen in hospitality, I think he was called Mathew, he explained to me how it works (my wife had come before but it was my first time). The servers were all very attentive and friendly, there was a lady with the air purple/pink that came to check that everything was ok and to ask us for the desert, all in all a great experience. We had a bit of motorcycle clothing and we were accommodated in a table for four that surely helped in our comfort. I made sure that I left some space for the pudding as I saw a picture of the Sunday and looked terrific (my wife didn’t make the same prevision but couldn’t resist to a brownie 😂) and it was the right choice, poor bike I should have brought the truck.

I visited Toby Carvery, and I must say the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The staff on the shop floor were always polite and welcoming, even though they were constantly on the go. It's clear they work hard, but they still manage to greet you with a smile, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. On a couple of occasions, I witnessed them handle difficult customers with grace and professionalism, which speaks volumes about their dedication to customer service. The chefs were equally wonderful, cheerful, and more than happy to serve customers at the carvery, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. I've also had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Toby Carvery, and once again, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, with a wide selection of well-cooked dishes that made the meal even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to the entire team for all your hard work—you make every visit a memorable one! Keep up the excellent service!
