Toby Carvery

Been a few Toby Carverys over the years as I work all over the UK they offer good value.
There Roast potatoes could be a lot better and I’m not keen on their Gravy as its not made from stock.
This is the worst Toby I have been to, no atmosphere what so ever, very clinical more like a school dining room than a restaurant.
It was very busy like a cattle market people very claustrophobic.
Never had a problem with Toby’s meat before but the beef here was very fatty, like a poor cut of beef. I don’t normally complain but it was that bad I had to.
On a positive note the waitresses were first class.

I’ve used the Toby Carvery restaurant at Maylands Avenue, Hemel Hempstead a few times since it opened last year as it’s very local to me. Although i’m a bit fussy about eating roast food (I’m rarely in the mood for it any day other than Sunday) there’s not many carvery’s in this area so I was glad one opened. It’s actually quite a small restaurant and I imagine at peak times you could be waiting for a table, however i’ve used it at quieter times and enjoyed it, customer service is good and the restaurant is comfortable. I’ve found no faults with the food whatsoever. I’m on the Toby Carvery email mailing list and regularly receive money off vouchers for this specific restaurant i’ve never paid full price for a meal here thanks to the coupons

Whilst small and not very cosy this new Toby in Hemel is alright for a carvery. You get enough meat and there is plenty of veg choice. However I found the quality a bit low. Prefer my own cooking by some distance.
The comfort level is average at best. In short I have been to better. It is the only one on this side of town, but I believe Piggies is still open in the Old Town and a short drive to St Albans to find the Prey.
