a friend of mine went to this after working a night shift expecting it to be 'all you can eat' and so started with a couple of slices of toast and a cup of tea. She finished this and then when she went up to get her actual breakfast was told that it is limited to one plate and if she wanted any more she would have to pay for two meals. This was the toby carvery in tottngton, bury.

Im not sure if this is the nationwide rules or just an overzealous manager/employee on a power trip but my friend is in no way a large person or even wanted to abuse the offer, she just wanted to take her time eating her breakfast and not pile a plate high and leave a large chunk of it to waste.

anyway, thats my piece, maybe just ask before you get you're food on their policy and if its one trip make sure you pile youre plate to the ceiling

I will also be the one with this plate



I'll take my own mushrooms

Toby Carvery is one of those places that annoys me. Their full price costs are not exceptionally cheap (though their special offers, like third Wednesday in Lent when a full moon half price), but they do not get the whole imported american concept of buffet. The chefs *shave* the meat of their products, i mean really, last time i went the slice of meat was so thin it could have doubled up as a screen protector for my iphone.

Got your big plate Alan ?

Yesss....

I don't know why people give bad reviews about the Toby carveries. Yes, the food varies in quality from carvery to carvery but you'll find that with most restaurants. What some people are saying is absolute rubbish. There is no-one watching how much you eat, and these people who complain about staff not smiling. What difference does that make? I don't smile much because I've got bad teeth and I don't want to advertise this. Does that make me a miserable person? No! I always give a £2 tip when I go because I'm not as hard to please as some of these people and don't judge the staff on whether they smile or not. After reading these reviews I wouldn't be smiling much either if I worked at Toby, In fact they'd probably get their breakfast over their heads!!! Some people just like to complain

I have been to the one in henbury many times and it is really nice there and it really is unlimited. :smiley:

I took my 4 year old & they charged me the price of a cup of tea for her breakfast as they do not have a set childs price? Second time she was allowed to eat free & the third time they charge me adult price for her? Very confused? Any way now i just go in & say 1 adult & dont mention her :-) it works & shes free! i would pay for her but not adult price (£3.99 great value dont need to eat for rhe rest of the day!)

My local is AYCE and you can go back as often as you like. Excellent food and good friendly service at silly o'clock.

Voted hot! :smile:

A group of us regularly visit the Toby in Worthing for our Unlimited Breakfast with unlimited tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Its usually pretty quiet in there which makes for a nice relaxing start to the day.

Although its unlimited, i find myself struggling to shovel down a second portion. (But i do love their hash browns). I highly recommend this offer to anyone reading this comment. I mean, for £3.99, (£5.98 with unlimited tea or coffee), you cant go wrong.

Bargain :innocent:

still active :smile:

my kind of breakfast

went today- was great value!

http://khu.sh/autorap_500c99b501988%26v2

Heres one I prepared earlier :smiley:

how do you know its foul if you have never been

been to our local toby,( gt yarmouth) for breakfast many times its great value and the food has been good xx

foul, I've never been nor plan to EVER!

Yeah, it's crap. Last time I went it cost £3.99 for the breakfast plus about £3 for the coffee

It does state "Help yourself to the full works for just £3.99, including as many pork sausages, rashers of bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes and slices of black pudding as you like on your first visit to the breakfast deck"
Maybe read the T&C in future?

I've had this breakfast loads of times and always been up to the buffet as many times as I've wanted no one's ever said we weren't allowed, in fact the people who work at my local Toby ask if you're re-visiting the buffet before they take your plate.

Anyway, the plates are pretty big, I can't imagine many people wanting seconds if they fill their plate up the first time??

Sounds like you've lead a prestigious and prosperous career. Oh, wait.

You are aware cholesterol is largely genetically determined, right? Jesus. It's like speaking to Daily Mail readers in this thread.

Jack just pretty much schooled you in nutrition.

Fats and protein are essential to your overall well being, and if you think the odd massive breakfast will ruin your gut then you have a lot to learn.

we have a table table restaurant in Romford they charge £8 per adult (kids go free ) unlimited breakfast tea coffee juice croissants toast cereal fry up...you get the idea we have 2 kids so costs us £16 for the four of us service is superb and beats toby hands down as long as you have kids (up to the age of 15)

Fair enough - not sure why you mentioned if it's no big deal, though!

True, I only talked about sausages and eggs since they are other parts of a Toby breakfast. Mind you, I think cheap sausages are easily as disgusting as most processed food.

Would have been interested except for the "first visit" rule.

No replies in the last 24 hours - sounds like the rate of heart attacks may well have spiked today.....................................................

Hash browns - how english are they???

Who wants Veg on a breakfast

As you say, IKEA is £2.15 for a 9 item breakfast with the Family Card. BUT it's 99p for 6 items so I buy 2 x 99p breakfasts thus getting 12 items for £1.98. Nowhere near as good as Wetherspoons but a bargain especially with the unlimited free tea and coffee (which is very good).

Hey I couldnt care about a bit of **** I used to take mushrooms home

Ive worked in loads of food places when I was young and disgusting stuff happened in all of them including, Hollands, Cadburys, Warburtons, Tesco Factory and many more if you think what is in the sausages, eggs and veggies is bad thats nothing

Just noticed, no black pudding included in the crown carveries basic breakfast either.

They do offer what they call an Ultimate Breakfast
but that costs £4.79

Apparently no toast included in either breakfast either.
2 slices of toast can be added for 89p extra.

Firstly, why do you think I trying to scare people into being vegetarian when one of the foods that I gave as an example.... was vegetables? I'm not a vegetarian! Maybe a bit of slowing down and reading carefully before replying with kneejerk comments, mmm?

Secondly, how is my comment trying to 'force' people to do anything? I gave my opinion, just like you did, just like everyone else here is doing.

Thirdly, people who know what goes into food and still eat it are fine by me. Go back and look at my comment, it was clearly aimed at people who thought that wee in mushroom beds was a big deal. Those people cannot know the first thing about where food comes from, whether it's eggs, sausages or veggies.

Wrong davey, all the food at toby EVERYTHING is fresh in regards to meat veg etc, crown is frozen i believe

Good if you can't get to a Crown Carvery. If you can, just go there instead. Cheaper and its exactly the same food. Same company, same supplier. Always amazes me that Toby charge so much more for exactly the same meal.

Nice one Zoea.

went to a TC for sunday lunch .. paid for 2 "kids" meals, but when i got to the counter they had no more small plates so was given 2 large plates. obv they only put a bit of meat on but i was allowed to fill the plate with as much veg / roasties as i wanted .... i ate well that day :smiley:

i done this twice out of 3 times attempting it
http://www.flaminggrillpubs.com/fg/pages/food-and-drinks/challenge-burger/c

Meat is good. Gordon Gecko said so :wink:

i could say the same for rich tea biscuits lol
and i have had worse sausages morrison's vale dont even go brown more like yellow yuk

omnomnom hash is good

Pretty shocking lack of veg options.

its always this price, how the heck is this 1400 degrees hot

Sorry but did I even mention things being bad for you? I was talking digestion and it is a fact that foods protein and fat can be a pain to digest.

Source:

Your small intestine receives food from your stomach at the rate that it is digested. This rate is much slower for foods high in fat and protein. Consequently, if you eat too much of these foods, they can get held up in your stomach and cause you to feel uncomfortably full. These foods include beef, lamb, pork, goose, duck, whole milk and hard cheeses that are high in protein and fat, and fried foods such as French fries and potato chips, which are very high in fat.

How many of these would you try......

http://www.thefoodproject.co.uk/uk-food-challenges.html

Or this one....

http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/3943812.Bolton_s_amazing_10_egg__big_breakfast_challenge/

I'd like to see Adam Richman (Man Vs Food) have a go at this...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18490459

and worrying about everything give you stress which increases the risk of heart failure, one pig out meal aint gonna kill ya, balanced diet and all that.

I meant eating dietary fat does not directly clog arteries its excess calories (from anything) which then turn into the fat meaning - Eating fat does not make you fat.

so, if All you can eat is limited to one plate
is 'unlimited tea & coffee' limited to one cup?

where's the consistency there then?

think I might go just for the argument!

Not quite true. Excess calories are stored as fat, it's the cholesterol that is known to clog arteries. I believe excess fat can form around the heart though, which is extremely, extremely unhealthy and causes more deaths than cancer when it comes to UK males.

PS I don't think this is a 'deal' as it's always this price isn't it???

Went once to the Toby Carvery in KINGSTON PARK.

Took 25 minutes to be served (they have to take your order first) and by that time it was almost finished.

Not a single clean plate on any of the multiple racks - literally not one! Oh, and the chef (a right fatso) sweated into the fried eggs (not that you could tell...)

Pathetic-looking food (when it was actually out - the chefs seemed very reluctant to put any food out, and we were watching the whole time we were waiting to be served).

Full of muddy chavs filling up after Sunday League (not Toby's fault though)

Poor waitresses rushed off their feet as there was only 2 serving (yes 2!!) which would be why we waited so long - not only do they serve you but you have to pay them as well instead of simply going to the bar or paying as you are served.

HOWEVER...the food, for all it looked floppy and soggy, and the sausages did not look cooked except on the top and bottom, was actually quite nice. Go figure...

Been £3.99 for years!! - the bargain was in February this year when there was 2 for 1 vouchers out.

Went to this last summer and was utterly disappointed. the quality was really lacking and the selection was grim.

anyone made a man v food joke yet?

Wouldn't say it is a great deal really. £3.99 for indigestion? Unless you have magic guts I don't think all that fat and protein is going to down well.

Not really a nice selection for a buffet. I feel exhausted after a family fry up as is and we buy the stuff in for those at about £1 a head. If I ate four times the amount of food I have in those I imagine I'd be straight to A&E :P

You read my mind, but I honestly could not be bothered to do the math..:smile:

I know exactly all the crap that goes into some of the food - and ya know what?? It tastes great and wont kill me so i don't care! Please stop trying to scaremonger people into being vegetarians - People are big enough to make their own minds up, without it being forced down their throats!!!

Since I shop with Asda quite often, I'm going to say 50p for 2 smart price tins o'beans, £1.00 for frozen gammon grills (not gammon steaks, otherwise 4 would be half your budget), £1.00 20 smart price sausages, £1.25 15 smart price eggs, £1 asda brand bag (1 not 2) of hash browns.... Leaving 75p for a loaf of bread and box of mushrooms...

I think someones telling porkies :wink:. Also even if you weren't, the quality of the food you'd get for a fiver would be dire (yes, even compared to Toby Carvery)

For the record I don't have children. I feed 5 fully grown adults. A tad over £5 buys 20 sausages, 4 gammon steaks, 15 eggs, pack of mushrooms, bag of hash browns, 2 tins of beans and a loaf of bread.That's quite enough for 5 people I would say. Not the best quality sausages and gammon granted but I'm betting Toby aren't using top quality produce in a deal like this either.



Do you mind me asking if you all draw straws to see which person does not get the gammon........

a friend of mine went to this after working a night shift expecting it to be 'all you can eat' and so started with a couple of slices of toast and a cup of tea. She finished this and then when she went up to get her actual breakfast was told that it is limited to one plate and if she wanted any more she would have to pay for two meals. This was the toby carvery in tottngton, bury.

Im not sure if this is the nationwide rules or just an overzealous manager/employee on a power trip but my friend is in no way a large person or even wanted to abuse the offer, she just wanted to take her time eating her breakfast and not pile a plate high and leave a large chunk of it to waste.

anyway, thats my piece, maybe just ask before you get you're food on their policy and if its one trip make sure you pile youre plate to the ceiling

nice

Is it neccesary for me to drink my own urine?



Probably not



No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Sorry, its a slow day in work

Perhaps contact the branch or head office beforehand to confirm it before you risk your £3.99? I imagine it would be possible to ask the staff if its one visit only or you can go back for extra? Why make such a drama about it?

Human urine isn't even that bad for you but regardless of what they do at mushroom farms any bacteria and so on will be killed off during the cooking process

What I actually find more disturbing is that you'd freely admit to doing such a childish thing while at work, rather than the act of urination itself

Enjoy your eggs - chicken periods.
Enjoy your sausages - full of animal intestines and other ground up organs.
Enjoy your veggies - grown in organic fertiliser

It's scary how little people know about food production if they think a bit of **** in the soil is anything to think twice about.

Fair enough, but seems a lottery depending on where you go.

If the website is saying 'on your first visit to the breakfast desk' or whatever then it sounds like the staff at the one you go to are being generous (or reasonable, depending on which way you look at it!).

Still think the title should be changed.

19 miles to our nearest one and I can't drive at the moment due to broken ribs. I've just had to put the grill on to do some sausages instead.

@ljpilling .. I can sympathise with your friend. I can confrim that the manager is a real b**ch that spends most of her time upstairs watching tele apparently. Me and my girlfriend took our daughter there (we did used to go regularly) and on this occasion we found a lip ring in my daughters mash. I complained and we were made out to be liars and that basically we had put it there. There was no sympathising on her part she was just a proper hard faced cow. I did get a refund from one of the girls behind the bar in the end after she had cleared off but i dont go anymore out of principal.

To stay on topic though ive had these breakfasts a few times. I was under the impression that it was like the lunch carvery where you only got one dose of meat but you could go back as much as you wanted for eggs and mushrooms etc. Least it was that way a few months ago.

Whats the quality like? £5 won't get you a decent meat content when you're buying all that other stuff too.

So the title of this is wrong, its not all you can eat for £3.99. Its as much as you can fit on 1 (probably very small) plate for £3.99.

For the record I don't have children. I feed 5 fully grown adults. A tad over £5 buys 20 sausages, 4 gammon steaks, 15 eggs, pack of mushrooms, bag of hash browns, 2 tins of beans and a loaf of bread.That's quite enough for 5 people I would say. Not the best quality sausages and gammon granted but I'm betting Toby aren't using top quality produce in a deal like this either.

I budget £3 per person per day for food and by no means are we eating too little. You would be seriously surprised at what I can get out of £5 for a 5 person meal sometimes :wink:

Take a container with you, empty your plate into it when nobody is looking, and and you could feed your ten children and wife for £3.99.

£3.99 is still a good price for a fry up and you can choose how much of each you want. If i had it i would only want one plate anyway. Most restrant chains have hit and miss ones. Weatherspoons near me is a def miss but further down the road is nice. I have not been to a tobys for years so i can't really comment on the quality

Im in agrement richmond sausages are rank i always go for a high quantity of meat in mine. You get what you pay for!

i went to a toby carvery on saturday (roast carvery, not breakfast). it was, without question, one of the worst carvery meals i have ever had. they hadn't managed to ruin the meat but as for the rest :disappointed: the roast potatoes were greasy and burnt, the veg was bland and flavourless, the gravy was too thick and had currants in it, the stuffing was rock solid and virtually inedible. you could go up again if you wanted to but i don't know why anyone would.

if their breakfast is anything like that, count me out.

Does that mean that, if you upgrade to the unlimited hot drinks, you have to fit them all into one cup?!! Might want to take a flask with you... ;-)

Probably the finest way to start the day and a couple of pints to wash it down !

We've been to the one in Northampton and having been I'd say it was probably worth about £3.99 tbh. We were expecting a lot more. The mashed up potato and cheese thing is pretty rough and they don't chack the amount of food at the bar so you can be waiting ages for things like eggs and bacon. They don't serve decaf coffee at all. The sausages are nice but the hash browns were soggy as they'd sat in a tray of fat.The only bonus for us was that the nice waitress gave us 2 small plates for the kids and didn't charge us a kids version. I imagine, like with everything else, it depends on how that particular restaurant is run so you could go elsewhere and it be great.

went to toby's the other day for a carvary... pure dirt

Don't you know Fizzy Cola is bad for you ...................

The toby breakfast in Stevenage is fab. All fresh and as long as it's not too busy plenty of it.
Fried eggs are cooked on demand too!

Great service

Seems great but if it's like their all you can eat carvery where they give you all you can eat with only enough meat so that others think you're vegetarian, but I'll give the breakie a go and quit complaining :smiley:

Like it should: Bacon, sausage, eggs, black pudding and that strange but tasty potato cubes mixed with cheese and onions thing they do

Coffee is hit and miss, depends on which member of staff is working

I've got two Toby Carveries near me and neither of them give two hoots how many times you go back to the counter during their breakfasts

Don't see that line when I just checked the website (hopefully they've removed it because it's a silly/dishonest rule?) - Start your day, the Toby way

she was told it was unlimited for your one trip to the buffet. Yes they had a waiter serving drinks/generally waiting on although not actually serving the food; this person kept check of trips to the counter.

I'm not saying its not a great deal, it is.....just that you need to be clear on what their terms of unlimited are in the particular restaurant that you're in as I cant be thinking of anything more embarrasing than getting into an argument over the number of sausages or eggs youre allowed to eat.

no garbage it has recently (well last few months) changed, i work in the kitchen at toby in chadderton, in regards to food being dirt, not at all i eat it myself for tea every shift!

hasnt it always been this price ??

Toby Carvery is travellers of Irish heritage heaven. (Cant believe P I K E Y) is not allowed.

Not a deal - usual price?!

I got caught out with this. Must learn to read!! :neutral_face:

None in northern ireland but.........i'm going back to portsmouth to see my girlfriend next month and although the breakfast is well too early to travel to it would be perfect for a dinner as we both love carvery its not a ripp off either like most of the other restaurants in the area.

Heat added as it added a place i can take my girlfriend out for dinner :smiley:

Just had the St Annes one, it was good with very good service, and not too busy.

The standard of breakfast varies immensely from one toby to another - I am lucky - our nearest is in Thanet and the sausages are nothing like richmond - they are delish. The cheesy, ham and onion hash is lovely too - if you manage to go when the right chef is on - otherwise they can be a bit stingy with the cheese. Went one time to a toby at Banbury - was awful and sausages disgusting. But if you find a good toby, it is good value :-))

Richmond sausages are barely legal, they contain just over the statutory minimum amount of meat to be able to call them 'sausages'. Fair play, they are rank. I know someone who buys them religiously and have been served them much to my displeasure.

I have come to the conclusion people buy them due to mild retardation and yeah, probably ****ed up taste buds or no taste buds.

So one plate for the meat stash and the other for refilling none meat items.

taken from website

Help yourself to the full works for just £3.99, including as many pork sausages, rashers of bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes and slices of black pudding as you likeon your first visit to the breakfast deck. You'll also find our homemade potato, gammon and cheese hash, potato rosti and plenty of toast on hand

One visit to the main breakfast, bit like the roast, you get one plate of meat and unlimited veggies

I love the all you can eat concept - it's the only challenge left to the modern man.

where's that bloke off 'man vs food'?

Not that my cold vote will make much difference, but we went when it was BOGOF on these breakfasts.

Was the lowest quality cooked breakfast I have ever eaten, really cheap sausages, fatty bacon, undercooked hash browns. It might be unlimited plates but you won't get a second one.

Would rather hit a supermarket, for a nicely cooked breakfast

Yes - for the all you can eat cooked breakfast :laughing:

Churchy, get back to misc! You're upsetting deals folk! :stuck_out_tongue:

i work at Toby Carvery and i can confirm that it is unlimited and you can go back to the deck as many times as you want and load your plate up 6 times....
that is correct not all toby carverys do breakfast, but majority does.
If any manager ever says to you that you are limited to one plate than it's a nonsence and you have to complaint.
If you having just a breakfast without tea or coffee it's 3.99
if you want to have an unlimited amout of tea or coffee with that it's 5.79.
If anyone ever says otherwise to you complaint to the head office!.
Im off to work lol....

Have been this price for months.

To me, a single plate is going to encourage people to pile it on, and likely leave a load to be thrown away, whereas if you just let people return, they'll have a sensible first plate, then pick a few extra bits (the majority of people I think, anyway).

I'm still all for the Wetherspoon's breakfast myself, 2 nice sausages, 2 thick bacon, 3 hash browns, 2 fried eggs, beans and toast for £4.20.

had it once last year. it was ok and we paid for 2 breakfasts and got 2 free. went up twice but each only had a smallish portion - sorted for the whole day

sausages are gross though - worse than richmond c**p

on another subject why do people buy richmond sausages - do they have no taste buds or just retarded - easily the worst sausages on the market

I think the key is in the wording it says on ur first visit to the breakfast deck so basically if you want to cram your plate full of food then its £3.99 or if you want to take your time and not look like a pig then they are charging you £5.79

The menu is pretty clear on the one plate vs unlimited argument;


So pay £3.99 and you can have as much of anything on your first visit and then more hash, rosti and toast after it required. Note this does not say unlimited or even all you can eat.


Pay an extra £1.80 if you want unlimited food and some tea or coffee as well.

hot deal but I sometimes get an all I can eat breaky from local burger van for £3.50 its not all you can eat but I am soo stuffed afterwards I feel sick. we sometimes get it and share it cos its so huge comes with shrooms too.

sounds like if you pay £3.99 it's how much you can fit on one plate whereas if you pay £5.79 it's unlimited visits plus refills of tea and coffee. Not sure how they keep tracks of which one youve opted for

And all it takes is one lazy member of staff to add a milky coffee/tea that has been left out too long straight into that dishwasher, and every single item in there will get contaminated.

I used to work as a barman and the health and safety instructors from the brewery would drill into our head that tea and coffee mugs should be hand washed and then dish washed.

wow that looks like a nice brekkie, i miss having this type of breakfast, the missus would do it now and again. but 4 quid thats more than i spend on dinner and tea for a weekend. id try it once but that would do me i think. also no mushrooms? its not a brekkie then.

As a certified fatso I'm a surprisingly poor performer at all you can eat establishments.
I think Ikea is hard to beat for breakfasts. £2.15 with an Ikea Family card for a 9 item breakfast plus free tea/coffee on weekdays.
It's a shame that it's a set menu and they don't have toast but I really enjoy their brown bread buns.

supoib!! i'll give this a try!!

What a silly thing to say!

As if a company the size of Mitchell's and Butlers wouldn't wash serving spoons between service, especially overnight!
By the way you've written 'I can only guess...' means you have no proof just your opinion which in my opinion sounds like complete tosh!

I hope you can tell how much people like you who don't understand food safety but go on public forums accusing people of breaking the law annoy me!

Awesome deal, shall we start a competition.....biggest plate wins?! Photo evidence required and anything that falls off the plate from the serving area to your table doesn't count!

Worst breakfast I have ever had and I paid full price. A lot of items were all gone and the staff didn't show any sign of bringing more out. What I did have tasted horrible. The morning I was there people were complaining and getting a refund. Terrible experience, may have been a one off but I won't be rushing back there. Wetherspoons breakfast is always pretty good although the eggs are usually overdone so I tend to go there if we are out for breakfast.

Great deal if you are a glutton! :smile:

Tried the Toby at Quinton 2 weeks ago, the waitress brings you toast and ask how many you want and if you want more, thought I seen this posted here already, which is why I tried it.

I would rather eat the sole of shoe.
Awful food and **** service.

Trading Standards?

It's not 'unlimited', in fact it's the very opposite. It's distinctly limited by the size of the plate. Even piled high, there is a limit.

are you 100% certain your boyfriend didn't touch the meat kev?

Been to one on teesside, was really nice and near enough empty. Don't think people know they do breakfasts. All the ingredients were really good quality. Nice thick Bacon, sausages with actual pork in LOL, and Heinz beans!

You could go up as much as you liked.

Personally I think he's sold on the place, what cha think?

The answer is on the website.

Help yourself to the full works for just £3.99, including as many pork sausages, rashers of bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes and slices of black pudding as you like on your first visit to the breakfast deck.

I imagine it will likely be different in most restaurants and down to the managers interpretation of AYCE. Surely there is some other users out there who have had the breakfast before, its not a new offer, its been in our local restaurant for a good few months now anyway.

LOL, it's certainly the least fun way to lose weight!!!! I don't touch prawns for similar reasons, although my "experience" was via a badly cooked special fried rice from our local Chinese!!. Sounds like I'm permanently hugging the bog, but to be honest I can only think of four really bad ones, the sandwich biatch, the duff chinese and one where I misread the egg fried rice instructions and cooked it from frozen using the chilled instructions..... woooooops!!!! The last one was the most surreal, I was late in for dinner and the wife had kept my pie and mash dinner in the oven. When I took it out it was hotter than the sun, I'm talking McDonalds apple pie hot!!, but I scoffed it..... literally 5mins after finishing, I got the usual over active saliva thing so I knew what was coming!! I can honestly say that I have never had such a weird barf. I was actually laughing with my wife that it wasn't her cooking in between barfs?!?!?!?! :smile:

According to their find a Toby search page, Glasgow is 5 miles from Putney, London SW15!

We went to the Toby cavery at Goldington, Bedford on Sunday and enjoyed a delicious Sunday cavery. It was delicious. Maybe a bit expensive £9.49 for one course as during the week it is around £5.50 for the same cavery meal. The pub was absolutely packed and we had a 45 minute wait but worth waiting for.

Would like to add that i also went up twice for hot food and also went for toast after too! Sausages and potato hash were excellent so had some more!

Need a cheap deal like this after just buying this http://www.unitedhabit.co.uk/28dlvj1-hoodie_paul_smith_jeans saving up for this http://www.unitedhabit.co.uk/14lx5clul-hoodie_dsquared

Went to a Toby on Friday for breakfast. It was excellent and i thought incredible value for £5.79 including unlimited hot drinks.

Highly recommended

Unless I've missed it the OP has declined to clear up the question of the single trip...

Surely any hotel with a buffet is technically "all you can eat"?

I think someone shud facebook tobys wall n ask about unlimited and AYCE meanings

Which part of a breakfast is carved?

We tried this last autumn. My partner acquired a stomach virus the same day that must have come from the serving spoons especially since he is vegatarian and didnt touch the meat. I can only guess the serving spoons were the same as those used for the previous evenings carvery.

:stuck_out_tongue:(_;)

If you go for the 'unlimited' breakfast while they keep you topped up with tea and coffee can you go back up numerous times?

Actually, there are many different types of food poisoning, Salmonella usually set in from 12hrs after eating contaminated foods, other types can set it from as little as 1hr!!! Doctor told me this when some biatch from the local sarnie shop poisoned me!! Saw the state of the workspace and should have walked out but I was hungry... not half as hungry as I was 6hrs later after I had nearly ejected my lower intestine out of my ass while simultaneously barfing my lungs up! :neutral_face:

classic.

well done sir.

OP - Change the title to "All you can eat heart disease"

All you can honk up only £3.99 :sunglasses:

Recently had a Toby Carvery meal, I would not be in a hurry to have another. The cutlery was not exactly clean and the veg was pretty rank.

so only one trip? but what a trip!!!:laughing:

Toby Carvery is one of those places that annoys me. Their full price costs are not exceptionally cheap (though their special offers, like third Wednesday in Lent when a full moon half price), but they do not get the whole imported american concept of buffet. The chefs *shave* the meat of their products, i mean really, last time i went the slice of meat was so thin it could have doubled up as a screen protector for my iphone.

I LOVE a full English!

Why are people moaning about not being able to go up again? Just stack it high - when I eat breakfast it's so big I haven't the energy to haul my lardass back up for a second visit!

The most important detail here is....................................HOW BIG ARE THE PLATES????

If they're quite small, they can shove it.

Got your big plate Alan ?

Yesss....

Is this the way to tackle obesity? I think not.

Ou est le deal????

had one of these a little while ago and it was shockingly poor ..not much selction cold and they charged extra for tea!! never again!

Lytham St Annes looks like its just on your first trip to the counter, I bet they only give you a side plate to

Watch out thought if you have a tea or coffee it is about the same price as the breakfast, and they don't tell you, until you get the bill.

This isn't an offer.... Its a challenge!

true and a nice 14" platter is classed as a plate ... glad our lass is in the catering trade

I went to a local one and it AYCE be that in one trip to the buffet or several.

Wah. Bedford isn't on the list :disappointed:

Doesn't stop it only being one plateful, no matter what plate you use.

This whole one trip business is completely backward.. If they made it truly unlimited, sure people would go up for one maybe two plates of food, but hardly anyone would take the mick. Look at the salad cart at the harvey, how many people do you see repeatedly going back for more? I know I can only manage one bowl of salad.

We go every Sunday , don't forget to add £1,80 for drinks but still great value

I will also be the one with this plate



I'll take my own mushrooms

Tepid for me. Cheap but doesn't have mushrooms and they've just stopped doing scrambled eggs. It's not bad if you're a greedy b####rd but for another quid or two at a nicer venue you could get a much tastier breakfast with better quality ingredients and mushrooms!

If anyone wants to meet there im the one that looks like this

Time to take a big platter plate and stack it high :wink:

I would probably print or show the menu showing it says unlimited and theres no small print.
It should be enough to nail them to the wall long enough for me to make 2 or 3 trips :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm in!!!

Hope they've got Wi-Fi.........i'll be there every morning

take your own plate .... i did :smirk: bargain and top scran

Ok is it one plate or true AYCE

yes I just made up AYCE

If that's the case my plate would be about 2 foot high just out of principle.
