Quick info
About Toby Carvery Highnam
Toby Carvery Highnam sits at Over Farm Market in Gloucester, a British carvery that draws families with its roast meat counter and all-you-can-eat format. The carvery covers the roasts diners expect, with gammon, lamb, and beef on the rotation alongside beef fat potatoes. Dogs are welcome in the space, and the team handles the table service alongside the carvery line. The room takes walk-ins across the day, and the venue runs as a breakfast restaurant in the mornings, shifting into its carvery service later on. A carvery plate is the straightforward draw here, and the family restaurant setup covers groups of mixed ages looking for a roast.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the roast dinner from the carvery, describing generous portions that come hot and fresh, with freshly carved meat and self-service vegetables. Diners single out the Dauphine potatoes and the beef fat potatoes, and several praise the friendly, helpful servers and the chef on the carvery. The front of house draws the sharpest complaints. Two reviewers describe being seated at a dirty, sticky table in a corner, told to order at the bar, then ignored while staff stood around. Another found the buffet area and tightly packed tables in need of better cleanliness. Meat supply is a second recurring complaint: one diner was served very thin slices of gammon and lamb at bank holiday prices and could not use a weekend voucher, another was turned away on a Sunday because the meat was reserved for booked tables, and one reviewer reports a dicky stomach by evening. Another noted the gammon ran out, but a staff member went and fetched more without fuss.

“Bank holiday Monday w/end prices but can’t use w/end discount voucher. Asked for gammon & lamb. Told can’t get much more off lamb. Got very thin couple of slices of both. The bone they took away had more on it than I was given. Then they came out with a fresh leg after I was served. Have to say over priced poor portion of meat. But beef fat potatoes were the highlight. Not interested in visiting again at that price & that lack of meat”

“Consistently good over the past 20 years on multiple visits but mainly for breakfast! Always friendly staff and a clean restaurant. Plenty of parking. The food is what it should be and never disappoints!”

“First time I've been to carvery 🤣 Not the place to go for a quiet lunch, feral kids, excessive noise. We both had dicky stomach by 8pm.”
- George Moore
“1st time ever at a Toby we go turned away due to not just having enough meat for us but others who had booked!!! (Yes it was a Sunday) surely they'd have accounted for that? And passing trade like we were.”
