  “We visited this evening at about 4pm. Our server max was amazing! He was friendly and quick with his service! Cannot fault him enough. The chef frank was superb so polite and had a good conversation with me and my family. The food was amazing and very nice! Sad we live far away and was visiting on holiday as we would love to come again. Thankyou guys for this brilliant time.”

  “Went for breakfast which was very reasonable.was quiet when we visited at 9am but was getting busy when we left at 10:30am. Menu is limited and the only options for toast are butter jam or marmalade. Other options for kids would have been good. Unlimited tea and coffee is a bonus though.”

  “Very disappointing experience – 1pm booking, 4th August 2026 We booked Toby Carvery for 1pm after completing a 2.6-mile walk for The Grand Appeal in memory of my daughter. She sadly passed away at just 26 days old, and the walk marked what would have been her 6-month milestone. It was meant to be a special day for our family to be together. Unfortunately, the meal was extremely disappointing. The meat was thrown onto the plate, was very grisly and had to be sent back. We were also told we were being rude when we raised our concerns. The ice cream arrived somewhat melted and spilled out of the bowl when we tried to scoop it. Sadly, everyone in our group subsequently suffered from food poisoning. After such an emotional and meaningful day, we had hoped for a nice family meal to finish it off. Instead, the experience was incredibly disappointing. We certainly won’t be returning. Spent £56 on 2 standards, a £1.99 upgrade, £1 child’s meal, ice cream and 5 drinks WITH 25% OFF!!! Member of staff looks underage to be serving people.”

  “Visited today for a carvery dinner. I just wanted to say what a credit the employees here are to the place. (Specifically the male waiter who was taking the payments and the man who with the tattoos, beard, who was serving the meat etc at 4pm today!) the man who was serving the food was honestly the most loveliest, well mannered polite man I’ve come across. He made sure we were okay with everything, addressed people sincerely with manners and consistently kept a smile on his face with just such a “happy to be here” vibe. It’s been a while since I’ve walked into a place that had me left feeling like I’d come back. Thank you & keep up the good work! It does show. Food was also lovely😊”

  “For what you pay here you cannot fault it. We visit regularly for breakfast. We always get a warm welcome. The team go the extra mile to make sure we enjoy our visit. There's parking and it's dog friendly with a great walk down to the river and estuary behind.”

  “My last visit was very disappointing. All staff were to busy congregating in the bar corner aware that customers were waiting for the chef. The food was dry and lack of on the hot counter. 8 customers are standing when they decided to come over and then it took another 20 minutes to replenish. That 45 minutes we waited! This isn't the first time they sit in the corner as they do it daily. If customers are waiting don't leave them to stand whilst your having a gathering. This is where your repretation goes down. Improvement needed and extremely disappointed!”

  “We had the carvery. It was cold, the meat was fatty and sliced so thin. The Yorkshire pudding was like cardboard, all the veg was dry and the pigs in blankets were absolutely disgusting, over cooked cocktail sausages with dry bacon”

  “If you’re after a good Sunday roast at a sensible price, this is an ideal stop. The food is comforting and exactly what you want from a proper carvery. It’s handily located just off the A381, so it’s a great place to stop for lunch or dinner when travelling between Torbay and Exeter. Easy, good value, and reliable — we’d happily stop in again.”

  “Met up with the family toda( Friday) for the best roast we have had in ages. The manager asked to wait at our table, while they refreshed the veg for us. Wow! Well worth the wait. There was a great choice of veg and the beef was delicious. The staff were very attentive and the banter made our visit more enjoyable. Thanks Team Toby”
