About This Pub
Ah, Toby Carvery Rotherham – it's one of those places that just feels like a comforting staple for a good old British roast, doesn't it? From what I've gathered, they really nail the classics with fresh veggies, tender meats, and all the fixings that make you want to come back for seconds. The staff stories are heartwarming; imagine being served by someone like Grace or Michelle, who go above and beyond to make sure everything's just right – it's those little touches that turn a meal into a proper outing with friends or family. Plus, with options for brekkos, vegan dishes, and a solid drink selection, it's versatile for any time of day. But let's be straight, it's not all gravy; there have been tales of dirty glasses or running out of key items like beef, which can leave you a bit miffed and wondering if it's worth the risk on a busy day. Overall, with a solid rating buzzing around, it's a welcoming spot that's spot on for a casual get-together, as long as you keep expectations realistic and maybe pop in during off-peak hours for the best experience. If you're after a hearty feed without breaking the bank, give it a try – you'll likely leave full and smiling, but just keep an eye out for those occasional blips!
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The roast dinners are absolutely spot on – fresh, hearty, and packed with all the trimmings, making it a proper treat for a classic British meal.
-
Staff are genuinely friendly and go the extra mile; stories of attentive service from folks like Grace, Sam, and Michelle really make you feel looked after.
-
It's a welcoming spot for families and mates, with a cosy atmosphere, clean tables, and options for all-you-can-eat brekkos, veggies, and even vegan dishes.
-
Plenty of choices on the menu, including a great selection of beers, ciders, and hot drinks to wash it all down.
-
The food comes out hot and tasty, which is a big win for a carvery, and it's open every day from early morning till late.
Cons
-
Occasionally, you might run into service slip-ups, like grubby glassware or items running out, which can put a dampener on the experience.
-
Some visits have been disappointing, with things not quite up to scratch, leaving you wishing for a bit more consistency.
-
Portions can be massive, which is great if you're starving, but might be overwhelming for those who prefer something lighter.
-
It's in an industrial estate, so the location isn't the most charming, and it could feel a tad ordinary on a quiet day.

Grace and Sam served us this dinner time and it was lovely they went above and beyond with there service and made sure all our needs were catered for the pigs in blankets were lovely too! A very enjoyable meal
Extremely Disappointing Experience – Won’t Be Returning
To start with, the wine glass I was given was filthy – covered in lipstick marks all the way around. I had to request a new drink straight away, which didn’t set a great tone.
We then went up for the carvery, and while everything looked great at first glance, the reality was far from it. We ordered two standard size carveries, but I was given a tiny portion of meat – barely worth mentioning. The vegetables were either undercooked and earthy or completely overdone – the peas were either rock hard or mush, with no middle ground.
To make matters worse, there was only a single scoop of gravy left, which we had to share between both meals.
We sat down to eat, hoping at least the food would taste alright, but everything was stone cold. Not even lukewarm – cold. We ended up leaving most of the food on the plate, paid the bill, and walked out, completely disappointed.
This was a total waste of money, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. We won’t be coming back.
Plenty of staff who are happy to help. Food was hot, which is my main concern with a carvery so this made my visit that bit more enjoyable. Standard TC quality which I love so no concerns with the food. I'm not one who can face the king size portion as the standard plates are big enough to load up. I would revisit this TC again in the future.
Michelle and Marie went way beyond our expectations and satisfied with the 5* service! They deserve to be the best customer service advisors! 💪🏽
No beef left for our carvery at 14:30. Came in and there were no Beef ready, all meats available but not beef. Said will be in 20min, Waited 20min and still not done and not ready at all. It was ready in 40min. Was very sad about that, but lovely staff members Michelle and Marie M&M how they call it, undersood our experience and treated with drinks. They went beyond our expectations. This was much better experience!
Staff are so lovely and the food is amazing.
The potato and carrot bake is my absolute favourite to get with my roast dinner. Not once have I ever had an issue here and I've been eating here for years with my grandparents. Tables are always clean and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming.
They often have sales on such as 50% off main meals on the app which I think is a great idea. The breakfasts are amazing too, my grandad loves them.
Not only are the main meals amazing, but so are the desserts. Every single time I get the brownie, I'm never disappointed. The ice cream is lovely and adds a really nice contrast to the warm brownie.
Staff members are very welcoming and ensure that any problems are dealt with. One staff member who recognises us every time we come in is so lovely, she greets us warmly and often has a very brief conversation with us sometimes.
Disabled parking spots made it easy for my grandma to access the building as she cannot walk far and staff were very accommodating to a wheelchair user I saw one time.
