About Toby Carvery Lower Earley

Toby Carvery Lower Earley is a carvery in Reading, at Unit 2 The Sq, and it opens daily. Roast dinners are a main menu item. The meats are carved at a counter, and the vegetables are self-serve. An all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet runs alongside the carvery, so the restaurant serves the start of the day as well as lunch and dinner. The self-serve large dinners pair roast meats with vegetables. Waiting staff look after the tables and clear them.

Customer Review Summary

Staff draw the most praise here. One server in particular is described by several diners as smiling, helpful and ready for a chat even when the place is busy, and the carvery team is said to work around each other so a long queue clears quickly. Food comes close behind. Reviewers single out the self-serve large dinners, huge Yorkshires, perfect roast potatoes and gravy that is not too thick or too thin, and among the puddings the honeycomb ice-cream and cheese cake. Regulars mention a manager who stops to talk and remembers what is going on in their lives, and waitresses who do not rush tables. Complaints are fewer but specific. One reviewer found the roast dinner disappointing, reported blocked toilets and a cat inside, and ended up with nuggets and chips because burgers were not available. Another waited a long time because the kitchen never told the waitress the food was ready, until they asked at the carvery counter. The vegetable self-serve is also named as the slowest point of the queue.

    “Myself and my wife are regular visitors to a Toby restaurant, but this one by far is the best in the area! I’m not 100% sure but I think the managers name is Manny? Please excuse me if I’m wrong, but this guy is always welcoming and always spends a few minutes to talk to us and always seems to remember about something that is going on in our lives, his team are also very hard working and polite and I highly recommend visiting this lovely restaurant. Until next time, Thanks again!”

    “This place is made brilliant by the staff. We go Friday Lunch and they are so friendly and kind. They help me with the app and laugh every time I make the "kids eat for £1" as with my elderly parents.”
  • Karen Persaud
    “Our waitress Hannah was absolutely amazing, she was kind, friendly, very happy & helpful. My mum wasn’t sure what wine to have as she can’t drink strong wine so Hannah recommended either the house white or a wine she likes to drink & Hannah’s choice of wine won the day. Hannah really made our visit a happy one & Hannah said we’d made her day too. The food was also amazing, plenty to go around, Yorkshire’s were huge & the roast potatoes perfect.”
  • Tommy Maker
    “I've dined here several times. Have never had a bad service. Food is perfectly cooked. It's clean. Polite staff. Can get crowded at times, especially on special days. Waitresses do not rush you! Great customer service.”
  • Andy Campbell
    “Honestly would not go to another carvery, the food is always great, the service is examplary. Hannah is just a delight the place could be so busy but she always has time to say hi and ask how you are! And when she is serving will always go out of her for people, a credit to the company”
