About Toby Carvery

On Marton Rd in Middlesbrough, Toby Carvery serves roast meats carvery-style, with each cut portioned to a set advertised weight. Yorkshire puddings come alongside the carvery and double as a holder for peas and gravy, while steamed vegetables are offered as a side and can be requested without butter. Breakfast service starts from 9am, and the rest of the day runs on a walk-in basis, with table service checking in through the meal even without a prior booking. The room opens daily, though queuing for the carvery runs longer during school holidays. Kids' menus and classic puddings round out the offering, keeping the format close to the traditional carvery setup rather than a fixed sit-down menu.

Customer Review Summary

The carvery itself draws the most praise, with several diners singling out tender beef that pulled apart easily, though a few describe tougher or chewy cuts and one visit noted hard vegetables. Close behind, service repeatedly stands out, with staff checking in regularly, accommodating requests like steamed vegetables without butter, and a manager arranging a table for five without a booking. One reviewer raises a recurring concern about shrinking meat portions, saying a standard serving fell short of the advertised weight and that extra beef was only lightly added when requested. Others note it gets busy during school holidays, leading to longer queues, and mention fair pricing and good value. The overall pattern is friendly, attentive staff smoothing over inconsistent food quality, with one diner recalling a child's inventive Yorkshire pudding gravy bowl as a memorable detail from a busy visit.

    “We went for breakfast at 9am. On arriving we were greeted by a lovely woman, Rebecca (team leader) she was so jolly and friendly, exactly what was needed in the morning. The food was nice, nothing was burned or over cooked it was good. I would recommend coming here”

    “Served by Lucinda- she was really friendly and helpful. We haven't been to Toby Carvey for a few years and really enjoyed our meal and the excellent service made it even better.”
  • Mark Griggs
    “Really nice venue. School holidays, really busy so took longer than usual queuing. Carvery delicious, the beef which can sometimes be very tough at Toby Carverys was very tender and just pulled apart. Learnt a lot from watching a young man, probably about 12 years old, load his plate. All I can say is genius. Turned one Yorkshire into a pot for peas and then filled it with extra gravy. The other Yorkshire he tore apart and interlaced it around the edges of the plate to create a bowl effect and then filled with more items and even more gravy. This young man is destined for greatness lol”
  • Dave Gee
    “Called in without a booking. The manager made every effort to arrange a table for five of us. Food was very good (carvery) and service via Lucinda was excellent. Recommend for quality and value.”
  • Darren Roberts
    “Visited recently due to working nearby and staying for the week, was nice and quiet in the restaurant but it was pleasant enough. The meats were mostly ok, didn’t have a fantastic cut of beef as it was quite chewy but I feel this is more down to luck of the cut. Staff very friendly and fairly priced”
