  “We visited to have breakfast with my parents, who had stayed at the travelodge the night before. Lady on the till was not very welcoming. Coffee and milk was low, had to wait for it to be restocked. Bacon was rather soggy. Kids wanted cereal and a little bit of cooked breakfast, both separate charges.”

  “Service when first went in was bit slow though staff pleasant enough and apologised for delay. Food was mostly great. Roasties bit hard and we seemed to get a fatty bit of meat but other than that food was lovely”

  “Booked online but only 40 mins before turning up. The staff, especially Toni, were great and, although there were people turning up all the time, she didn’t get flustered and was lovely and accommodating to everyone. Food was good, as expected at a Toby.”

  “If i could give this Toby a 10/10 i would. The best Toby Carvery in the UK!!! In recent years ive travelled all over the country with my work and every few weeks, i seek out a Toby Carvery. A reoccurring criticism of most tobys is usually the roast potatoes, arent actually roasted, they just look brown Not here! these were perfectly fluffy, amazingly roasted potatoes. And it doesnt stop there....more hugely stand out things about this carvery. Its also the prettiest most modern carvery ive seen. But more imporantly, the biggest, sexiest looking, most perfectly cooked yorkshire pudding ive ever had in my life!!! Haaa! (I asked, gratitude goes to Ashley & Aliyah for these miracle creations! ) And the staff, so many carverys -the chefs are really miserable, well Ashley was chatty, & genuinly personable not just with me but with other guests. I heard him with a family. Plus, Hayley was a lovely smiley superstar. After the longest of days on a uk tour. This was such a refreshing experience Well done Darlington! You made my week. You are oficially the best toby carvery in the uk (according to me!) Xxx”

  “Two turkey dinner carvery with all the trimmings. A very good sized portion of meat and plenty of vegetables to choose from. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I think they deserve to have a service charge put onto the bill as they all work hard.”

  “If I could give them a Minus stars I would. Walk through the doors to 2 members of the staff behind the bar talking to each other how to wait a couple of minutes for them to stop talking before I got served. Food was lukewarm. I wouldn’t even say lukewarm cold beans bacon was well done like too well done like you were eating leather there was no juice available which I thought was pretty Standard and all you can eat breakfast. There was no eggs. One word to describe it diabolical only went here because the beef eater has recently closed down and they’re done an amazing all you can eat breakfast. I’m so sad it’s closed down. I’ve recently discovered iced coffee, but I do like a hot coffee when I have a hot coffee and the coffee was lukewarm. It was horrible.”

  “While the food was tasty and the service was great, no issues with cleanliness or anything like that, it would appear M&B are making this place massively cut down the meat portions, as they were absolutely pathetic. Sure the veg was unlimited and you could pay for a larger portion, but that is kind of the problem. Their large size would be a normal size anywhere else. A bit disappointing especially considering the prices were higher on the Sunday as well.”

  “We visited today without a booking and were kindly asked to wait around 20 minutes for a table. We grabbed a drink and didn’t mind the short wait at all. While we were in the bar area, a drunk man came in and started being rude and causing a bit of a scene. The lady behind the bar and one of the lady chefs handled the situation brilliantly. They dealt with him calmly, professionally and discreetly, especially as he seemed quite unpredictable. They definitely deserve recognition for how well they managed it. Once seated, the food was lovely and all the staff were friendly and professional throughout. It was our first visit today, but it certainly won’t be our last. Highly recommend!”

  “Spent Christmas day here and I can honestly say it was amazing. Our party had dietary needs and they were able to assist us with these prior to the day. They went above and beyond to help. The meal itself was the best carvery that I have ever had. It was delicious. The table was set with lovely little touches and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well organised .Will be booking up for next year it was great.”

  “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.”
