  “Came without booking, seated very quickly, our server, Shardanae was very busy but took time to ensure all was ok for us. Food was excellent. We came about 6 months ago and was very disappointed, so todays trip was great”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional care, accessibility and service One of the most thoughtful and accommodating restaurant experiences we have had. The team went above and beyond to make sure my severely disabled, wheelchair-using and ventilated son could dine safely and comfortably with us. Their kindness felt completely genuine — it wasn't simply good customer service. I called beforehand to book a table for five and explained that my son is severely disabled, uses a wheelchair and is tracheostomy ventilated. We therefore needed sufficient space for his wheelchair and medical equipment without obstructing other customers. From that first telephone call, the team were incredibly accommodating. They advised us of the best time to visit so that they could look after us properly and made sure we were positioned somewhere suitable with plenty of space. What particularly impressed me was the attention to detail. They even made sure our table was close to a plug socket so I could connect my son's ventilator if required. We were given priority where necessary, and staff regularly made sure we had everything we needed without making us feel uncomfortable or like an inconvenience. At the end of our meal I wanted to leave a tip, and they genuinely tried to refuse it because they were simply happy to have provided the service. I insisted because I felt their care deserved recognition. Going out for a family meal when your child has significant medical and accessibility needs requires considerably more planning than most people realise. Having a restaurant respond with this level of understanding, dignity and practical support makes an enormous difference. Thank you to everyone who looked after us. You enabled us to simply enjoy a family meal together, and that means more than you probably realise. We will absolutely return. Highly recommended, particularly to families who need additional accessibility support.”

  “What a difference 6 months can make!! The food was great, hot and tasty just what you want (much better than our visit in January!) Everyone we spoke to was very friendly but special mention to the manager Tasha, she was so warm and welcoming and made a really effort with our kids as well! Would go back again especially if we know she is working!!”

  “Last night we visited the Toby Carvery in Denham. Two years ago we had enjoyed a lovely experience at another Toby Carvery, and as our daughter had been hoping for another buffet-style meal during our holiday, this seemed the perfect choice. The reviews for this branch were mixed, but overall positive, so we reserved a table in advance. Unfortunately, our first impression was disappointing. After politely explaining that we had a reservation and showing the confirmation, the hostess rather abruptly replied, "Okay, so three people?!" before leading us to a table directly beside the toilets, with a full view of the toilet entrance. I completely understand that restaurants try to make the best use of their available space, and Toby Carvery is excellent value for money. However, as several other tables were still available, I politely asked whether we might instead sit at the table just around the corner. Her response left me feeling rather uncomfortable. She looked at me as though I had asked for something unreasonable, answered with a dismissive "Yeah," gave a small laugh, and then appeared to make light of my request in front of another guest waiting to be seated. Throughout the exchange I had been careful to say "please" and "thank you," so it was an unexpectedly awkward start to the evening. Thankfully, the experience improved once we were looked after by our waitress. She was genuinely warm and welcoming, and her kindness helped us feel much more at ease. While waiting at the carvery, we also spoke to another English couple who had experienced a similarly frosty welcome from the hostess. It seemed her manner varied greatly from guest to guest. Some were greeted warmly with "love" or "darling", while others received a far less friendly reception. We couldn't quite understand why. As members of the Toby Carvery club, we were entitled to a discount. After a little encouragement, our waitress kindly helped us when we accidentally scanned the wrong voucher. Perhaps it's a very Dutch habit to look for every possible saving, even in a restaurant that is already incredibly affordable! But after our welcome, I must admit I wasn't feeling particularly generous. 🙈 The food itself was good, especially considering the very reasonable price, and it was enjoyable to experience the Toby Carvery tradition once again. If you prefer leaner cuts of meat, I would recommend the turkey and gammon. I chose the pork, beef and gammon, but found that both the pork and the beef contained quite a lot of fat. Overall, the food offered excellent value, and the kindness of our waitress certainly made the evening more pleasant. With a warmer and more consistent welcome at the door, this could easily have been a much more enjoyable dining experience.”

  “We highly recommend Toby Cavery Denham! We are regular customers for both breakfast and dinner and are never disappointed. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. We have a requirement on seating due to additional needs which is always allowed and much appreciated. This morning we were served by lovely Tasha who was amazing throughout our visit - she was professional, understanding, kind and helpful. Thank you to Tasha and all at Toby Cavery Denham 🙂”

  “My partner and I love this carvery. Very friendly staff, very clean and the carvery is always excellent. We visited today and we were served by a lovely young lady named Lydia. Lydia was very friendly and professional. She made us both feel very welcome. She is a credit to Toby Carvery, so please can you thank her from both of us. I had a nice chat with her about tattoos.”

  “The system: You book a table here, then line up for food. Waiting staff arrive at your table for drinks orders throughout your meal. Ours asked how the food was. I found the experience relaxed and the staff were attentive and good. You get one go on the meats. You can have them all, but it reduces the quantities. You can go again and again for veg, gravy and sauces. I recommend this place!”

  “Improvement needed in some key areas . No meet and greet on entry or exit . Food was middle of the road . Meat ( minimal portions) and a little fatty so not premium cuts . Yorkshire pudding was so dry it was had to leave it . Gravy was good but watery roast potatoes were good Carrots were very dry indeed. Mint sauce was watery Stuffing was all good The food was hot so no complaints there . Outside Dustbins were overflowing with poop nappy’s and carpark had litter . Definitely a management tuneup could be suggested.”
