  “This is the third time I have been here and the plates are not clean and still have old food on the surface if the plates. I have reported it before to the chef who blamed the person washing the plates. I thought i would give it one more try and again, the plates are dirty. This isn't me being pedantic, you can actually see the old food still on the plates. I will never step foot in the place again and very unhygienic. I've give it a second try and nothing has changed.”

  “My wife and I have eaten at Toby carveries all over the north west (UK to be honest). But this one at the Bay horse in Formby is by for the best! Pub was established in 1530, when it was a coach stop. In world war 2 it was a hang out for American gi's some real history in the place. But the food is absolutely spot on! Yorkshire puddings that melt in the mouth. Meat is always tender! (We have been three times so far, once for the breakfast. Rach and every time the food has been delicious, the staff can't do enough for you. No matter how busy they are they've always got time for a quick chat. Atmosphere is lovely, and the prices are much more than reasonable (a little over 50 pounds for two large plate dinners, two desserts and four drinks!!!) so relaxed. Could not recommend this place enough.”

  “Staff are always super friendly in here. Our waitress, I think her name was Sarah, was very kind and helpful. She took her time to guide me through the vegan options, which I really appreciated. Just wish there were a couple more vegan options!”

  “A big thank you to Sarah and Gav this morning, we went for breakfast and they were unbelievably busy , poor gav looked like he needed 20 pairs of hands , but we were told there was a short wait and it really wasn't that bad , about 10 mins max .. Food was hot, fresh and delicious so no issues from us .. Obviously when places get busy without notice its hard for staff to keep up but you guys did GREAT.. Thanks Ricky & Izzy”

  “Visited here a few times for breakfast. The food is what is says on the can. Bacon, sausage, egg ect. Its all cooked nicely, not dried out or over cooked. And let's face it, you dont have to be a Michelin Star chef to make a breakfast. The only criticism I have about the food is the 'chefs special breakfast Yorkshire pudding', which are bloody awful. Tasteless, dry and have the texture of paper. Honestly, do yourself a favour and take them off your menu. Staff here are very nice and smile too, but again, its not difficult to take payment for your food, which is really all they do in a service capacity. The decor/furniture is very clean and tidy, and there is a big free car park too. All in all, its a nice place to visit for a Sunday morning breakfast.”

  “We visited here late on a Saturday night after 8pm. Although it was late, nothing was too much trouble. My husband and I were still offered the same level of service as if we had just walked in at opening time. The lady who took our order was wonderful and very patient with us. Usually at that time of night staff are ready to leave and rushing you out of the door, but not here. We felt very welcomed by all staff who were extremely helpful and polite. For our meal we chose the carvery, which had multiple selections of meat. They had pork, gammon, turkey, beef and lamb with plenty of vegetables to choose from as well as gravy and accompanying sauces. The food was lovely, we both really enjoyed our evening meal. We even found room for dessert as they sounded too delicious not to try. I had the lemon blizzard sundae whilst my husband tried the honeycomb dream sundae. The desserts were even more amazing! The lemon blizzard had dairy ice cream with meringue pieces, cream and Sicilian lemon sauce, which I absolutely loved. We had a wonderful night, thanks to everyone working here, excellent customer service goes a long way in making the experience exceptional.”
