Toby Carvery - Wakefield

Just attempted to go to wakefield Toby carvery. Upon arrival the car park was very unkept, with shrubs overhanging the parking bays. Outside the main door, the two raised flower beds housed piles of cigarette butt's, with more on the floor. I should have took that as a warning, the general upkeep of the exterior was dismal. Upon entering the building we soon realised that the appearance was no better. We were squeezed onto a cramped table. The interior furniture and soft furnishings are in desperate need of reupholstering and refurbishment. We decided to over look this and go to order our carvery, however, we never made it past the que. While waiting to be served we noticed a vast amount of flies on the rear wall behind the carvery counter. This was the last thing I needed to see and we left immediately. The whole premises appear grotty, grubby and unclean. We ended up traveling all the way to Barnsley, where the Toby carvery is excellent and more importantly, clean! We won't be returning to Wakefield Toby.

Visited today (mother's day) Booked online as I knew it would be busy, got sat straight down and our server, Dale, was amazing. His service alone made our evening, kept checking in on us and had great banter which was more than welcome

Regular customer here, foods good but check your receipts. Twice I’ve been here now and charged more than it should have been. Went in for lunch, the two of us, went to bar to pay our bill and after I’d already tapped my card I seen I’d been charged for 4 carvery’s in stead of 2. When challenged “Serrena” told the gentleman “to wait I’m still on phone” not service you expect for the restaurants mistake.

James was an excellent waiter. He was on the ball. He is very polite and pleasant, and is an asset to the team. Please give him a pay rise.

And another super meal tonight at served up at the Wakefield the home of the roast, presented by Cairns and his friendly team... He has the crispness Yorkshires roast potatoes this side of Wakefield... and the meat done to a turn... Thank you..
