What User likes about Toby Carvery The Friary:
This restaurant is a great place to bring the kids, it's affordable and you get your food quickly. It's not a fancy or romantic spot, but it's definitely family-friendly. The food is delicious, the drinks come out quickly, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The ice cream is a hit with the kids. Overall, a winner for families. View all feedback. What Caroline Henham doesn't like about Toby Carvery The Friary:
Toby Carvery can always be relied upon for a good roast dinner, but the lady managing who met us at the entrance to this TC needs to learn some manners. Management could remind her that it is customers who spend their hard earning money going out for a meal who pay her wages. View all feedback.
