Lovely Carvery with Turkey, Pork, Beef and Gammon! A pleasant and cheerful waitress made our visit more friendly. The only thing I didn't like was that the Cauliflower was hard and undercooked for my taste. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said that if you mention it at the Servery when getting your meal they will cook a portion of Cauliflower to your taste. Well worth knowing!
We returned with a party of seven last Friday and everything was excellent. We asked for soft Cauliflower which was duly prepared. I noticed so many other customers also wanted it I wonder if that should be the permanent option? Many thanks for an excellent meal and great service. It's great to see that you care about the feedback you get as so many pubs and restaurants seem indifferent.

The Bay Horse has been beautifully refurbished which made us feel very comfortable from the start. We were seated at a table very quickly & attended by our server without delay.
We found the food to be excellent, still hot & not dried up at all so very enjoyable.
Our server was fabulous (so sorry I didn't get here name).
Can't think of improvements to suggest but can congratulate for the food & other marked improvements from our past experiences which were on occasions somewhat disappointing.

Very nice place food tasty
The only down thing is don't use table 22 as it's right next to the toilets

Just had the carvery here, very nice fresh food. Plenty of choice in meats and side vegetable dishes. Only minor niggle the Cauliflower was a little hard, but overall very enjoyable.
Our server Kay is very pleasant and helpful, thanks Kay 👍

Went for a family meal, haven't been to a Toby Carvery since I was a child (almost 25 years ago). Got to say the Bay Horse is a cracking example of what I thought was an old style restaurant that is actually much more modern than expected.
It's been recently renovated, is light airy and modern. There were plenty of options and the cuts of meat were well sized. All of the accompaniments were delicious, the veg were warm and cooked correctly without being over boiled. Service was spot on and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely go back!

The food was hot and tasty.
There is plenty of veg to choose from, the chef was fantastic, he cut the meat to goof size pieces and didn't put any bits on that were inedible, he was careful how he sliced it.
The staff were hard working and nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely be back.

Great food, great staff. Never had a bad meal here. If there's something I would suggest it would be to change the carpark, there were a few struggling to get out of spaces yesterday and there was one car that actually just hit 3 cars including my own while I was sat in it as it was leaving yesterday. The spaces from middle to the back of the car park were a little close together and some cars at the very back were sticking out so far they were obstructing cars in the middle from leaving. Apart from that though everything was perfect as usual

Came to Formby Carvery for my mums birthday this week,
The food was nice,
The customer service was satisfactory.
For the amount of the members of staff was unsatisfactory.
For the experience was diabolical.
We entered the Toby Carvery,
To wait 10 minutes at the bar with no staff in sight to seat us.
We then decided to just sit down in the restaurant.
We sat down, We then wondered how to get any drinks?
So we found a member of staff at the back of the restaurant, She taken our drinks order.
Then after 10 minutes she returned with our drinks,
(One member of staff was in the entire pub in sight when she had about 8 tables with guests, Also people in the bar area)
So bare in mind this is about 30 minutes in the carvery we have had to enter the pub, seat ourselves, Then find somebody for our drinks, We then further on still hadn't had our drinks... So anyway after roughly 30minutes we got our drinks,
Then we thought hang fire, They've forgotten a drink. (She was on her own till 5pm when other members of staff arrived).
They forgot one drink then, Which we then had to go back the bar to order, Which the manager then said we could have complementary,
At this point we was thinking twice about food and was about to leave.
We after 1 hour, Still hadn't had our food order taken,
So we just got up and went the carvery, We got our own food then we got told they had no turkey left.
Then when we was eating our drinks as usual was flowing low, They didn't come to suggest more drinks for us, We had to go the bar for drinks.
Then, When it came to paying I had a voucher which the member of staff refused to take off me due to us receiving a free drink for them forgetting the drinks order.
After this major headache, We paid.
We left, Would we return? well a carvery everyone likes.
But after this I've got to say it'll take some serious persuading.
This was the poorest I've ever seen Toby carvery Formby.
It's a shame as I like the place originally.
But this experience for my mums birthday has changed my outtake on the venue for food or even a drink,
It's a shame as it has nice drinks, Nice beer garden outside the front, Nice food,
And to be fair the staff are all kind and polite they are simply understaffed and ran off there feet.
I genuinely feel more sorry towards the poor staff, Who was trying there best.

Daniel Heymans
Travelled well over an hour to try this place, Service was brilliant food was rank, explained to the waitress about how both of us didn't enjoy my food but for some reason they didn't really take into account what we were saying shame.
This has left a bad image for toby carvery and certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anybody!!!!
Sue Stephenson
Had a lovely meal last night, by myself. The food was great, as usual. I'd like the cabbage and cauliflower cooked for a bit longer, but that's just my preference, and it's probably a lot healthier the way it was. The staff were so friendly, George spoke to me whenever I passed, and my waitress Jan was lovely and very helpful.
Jayne Westmoreland
Went yesterday for a family meal , the vegan menu was amazing, staff amazing, great place to eat out
Norman Richard Yates
Good food friendly attentive server, if we want a carvery we always drive 10 miles to the Bay Horse Formby, keep up the good work.
Lin Lennon
Food and service by waiter exceptional. I brought my grandchildren for a treat. Shame the 25% discount was not given to me. When i questioned it the woman behind the bar said too late now you ve paid. I did show my app when we ordered and agreed i was eligible. Unfortunately, the waiter forgot to take it off when i paid. No offer to make up for this shortfall from Toby...disappointed re the manner in which this issue was addtessed.
Frances Jones
Lovely meal as usual, but for some reason the Yorkshires were stone cold. Service was quick and efficient, friendly waitress. Very child friendly place. Lots of families out for their tea yesterday evening.
Pamela Downey
We had a lovely meal there the other night !
We were served by Sarah who was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble..
We had our elderly mother with us and sarah managed to find us a nice table by the window!
The meal was delicious and good value as always !
Sue Harding
Six of us went last night for a Christmas dinner, staff were all lovely, very polite and friendly they ran out of parsnips (tragedy!) but staff were very apologetic and didn't charge for drinks to compensate, York puddings weren't up to much but other than that everything was fine
Kevin Aindow
Very busy mothers day and staff where still doing all they could for you. Nothing to much trouble. Food was lovely and everything was hot. Recommend highly. Thanks for a nice mothers day and double birthdays. �

Prawn cocktail was a let down, you used to do bread and butter with it now its just 🍤 prawns and lettuce with a dressing, Carvery ok, puddings ok I’ve had better from this Toby, Waitress was lovely
