First time visiting since refurbishment, and it is just lovely. Nice atmosphere and fab service. I can't believe we had roast Lamb on the carvery today alongside beef, turkey, and gammon. The food was lovely and hot. Our waitress Helen was great and very helpful

Nice place since the refurbishment good atmosphere unfortunately the food breakfast is little over cooked for me sausages,bacon & black pudding were all to well done. As standing under the heater lights seams to have cooked them a bit more. Would come back but to see if this had improved but if if didn't would not return again.😏

It's a long, long time since I've been to a pub with such a welcome, such great food and fantastic service.
This place is so well run, it's a joy to visit.
Everywhere is spotless and the staff can't do enough for you.
Really enjoyed this one...and for the price??...well.... others could learn a lot from this business model instead of levering the last penny from our pockets at every opportunity.
Toby, especially thus one, show others how it should be done
Excellent all round. Thank you.

Such a great place to go for a Carvery!! Our server Kane was lovely and couldn’t help us enough!! He was so chatty and helped us decide on dessert with his recommendations. :)) Also the Mac and cheese SLAYS

Had a lovely family meal, from the carvery, so everyone got exactly what they wanted. The food was really nice, and well cooked and the staff were fantastic and super friendly! Great value for money. The price per person mentioned included all of the drinks we had, oh, and the soda's? They're refillable for free for the duration! We will definitely be going back again.

We come here regularly for breakfast and occasionally for carvery.
Food is lovely, the carvery can get busy but service is fast and food standard doesn't suffer. Food is constantly freshened, and staff are friendly. We see one particular server Kirsty most times we come in. She is friendly, helpful, always happy, and goes above and beyond. I am happy to recommend Hoole Toby carvery and will continue to eat here regularly.

Lovely pub situated in a quiet neighbourhood. We were served by Megan who was very friendly and warm hearted. Not enough words for the service she provided us. Food was very tasty although the chef only gave 2 pieces of meat that were finished with 4 bites. Will definitely come again

Booked a table for 2. But arrived earlier and table was ready and was seated very quickly. All very quick and meal was all very good. And hot. And had a make over and all very nice. And staff very friendly. Would definitely come back.

Visited for breakfast this morning. Food was lovely all hot and fresh, the chef was filling up while we were at the deck and greeted us with a good morning. The service was fab, the gentleman on the bar was friendly and welcoming. The place was clean, warm and had a good atmosphere. Really enjoyed our visit!

First ever visit today but it certainly won’t be the last! Friendly welcome from Paul who greeted us at this beautifully clean restaurant. Excellent staff. We chose the carvery which was delicious. The good was excellent so compliments to the catering staff! Highly recommended. Thank you for our delightful visit.

Food was great.. service was great.. only downside there was only one person at front desk and he did incredibly well but I'm sure he would have appreciated a little help seating people
Richard Nichols
Staff were great. Very hot In restaurant, needs fans or aircon. Good food generally however we had a check back too soon and then found issues like roast potatoes were cold inside. And the beef I had was inedible! It was stringy to fat on the cut. And the end piece which I thought we would have been asked if we wanted. Sadly it destroyed my meal as I only had beef. So I had veg and gravy.

Called in on the off chance as had been let down elsewhere. Paul was so nice and very understanding so fitted me and my hubby in. I will definitely go here again. This wasn’t my first experience here we have done breakfast which was also fab. This isn’t our local Toby but I wouldn’t go to that one any way, I would rather travel that little bit further for quality and a little cheeky banter with Paul 😂
P.s All the staff including the carvery staff where so nice 🎉
Louise Walker
I won't be calling for my breakfast again. The place was untidy and looked very dirty. The food wasn't the best either. Very disappointed with the place. Gone down hill is an understatement!!!

I have been to Toby's a few times, usually the Chester Carvery, Hoole Villiage. I go here cos the family like it, me personally have always found it dirty with the cutlery or plates. Today, Boxing day, we decided to go out for the first time, and Tobys was the place we booked. Seated with no issues, the servers here are usually friendly, the man who served us, using a females name, was abrupt, 40 mins he took to get out starters and served us our puddings at different times, no offer of the complimentary drinks and even charged us for a pint of beer he saud was on the house as he took 20 mins to get that!! I was trying to allow to the fact it was busy, and trying not to moan but when he kept getting our orders wrong and then dumping food with no friendliness on our table, I was very disappointed. I always leave a tip but just couldn't do that today. Also to add, they were starred at 4 in August, and didn't even try to raise it to a 5 yet where as other companies who got 4 I have seen are now a 5, downhill they have gone.

I usually have very low standards when it comes to food and would eat pretty much anything...
But I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that the breakfast I had today was by far the worst example of food I have ever experienced...
Julie Davies
The food was tasty and hot, and there was plenty of it. Bit of a pot luck with regards to the quality of the meat though; I had beef and turkey and both were nice, but the pork looked very fatty. It was very busy and some of the tables had dirty dishes stacked high. Other than that it was good.
Rachel McKee
The place was filthy and smelt of urine. No toilet roll and out of order toilets in both men's and ladies.
The beef was really fatty which mentioned to the chef but he ignored me, the turkey was that dry it was hard to swallow. Will never visit again
Margaret Fox
We came here yesterday early evening meeting friends from Australia had a lovely meal friendly staff a very funny waiter made us laugh took a photo of us all and a lovely waitress who brought the bill very chatty a good time had by all. We booked here because a large party of us came boxing day and had a fantastic time will definitely come again.
Louise Bowyer
Came for my birthday meal. Was seated in a corner at the very back even though restaurant was quiet. Had to keep moving when someone wanted to leave the table. Wasn’t asked if we wanted drinks. No one serving on the carvery had to stand and wait. Food was awful like it had been kept under the hot plate all day. Restaurant very untidy and dirty. Very disappointed
Graham Bishop
Been here 3 times in one month, really nice carvery, loved the food and the staff were great. Would definitely recommend �
Ryan James
We've now stopped coming here, gone down hill so much I don't think it'll recover, it's a shame as it was a really nice place to come for food but now it's badly managed, food is always cold (if your lucky they don't forget that you've ordered) and an absolute Shambles.
Stay clear if you want nice food.
Paul Stirrup
Couldn't fault it really for £6.99 a lot of choice .
Too much really selecting a bit of everything turned the meal to be a bit mushy.
Next time will limit my selection to basic veg and roast potatoes which are great...

To say I was dissapointed today is an understatement. I was looking forward to a family meal out with my partner and two children, so we booked a table as been a few times and so far hasn't had a bad experience. We got to the Toby carvery (which we travelled 30 minutes to get to I may add, it's not round the corner) to be sat in a sauna. We were not told on arrival that the air conditioning was broken so we literally sweated through our meal (which my kids didn't eat because it was so hot in there). No plastic straws, (which I get, we all want to save the sea creatures!)but no paper alternative either, so my children ended up with fruit shoots...which are served in plastic bottles (defeats the object no?) My food was fine, the service we received was under par, it was busy, and really hot so I get that but there didn't seem to be many staff considering Sunday is their busiest day and the staff we did encounter were not really bothered by the fact we were unhappy. Then after promising my 4 year old if she ate some of her dinner she could have an ice cream, we order said ice cream only for the waitress to come back and tell us that in fact they don't have any ice cream (the machine had been broken, again they could have made us aware of this on arrival?) We were offered bubblegum as an alternative but she wouldn't eat that. All in all a disappointing meal out that I won't be repeating anytime soon.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch yesterday,as I'm a vegetarian there was plenty of choice for me not sure if I could have replaced the meat with a vegi option but didn't ask as I had plenty of veg, potatoes,cauliflower cheese and a massive Yorkshire pudding was lovely and would go again..
