nipped in for a drink whilst shopping at Marks & Spensers. its better than having an asda coffee shop. good beer, good wine and cheap price. nice smells from the food, will give this a sample soon

Very quiet for a Monday night. Always found meals to be good here. Adnams - Jolly Ale very nice and also had Brakspears - Bitter on draught.

After traipsing around Asda this was a treat. Typical Toby so the foods OK. Only saw keg so being hot and bothered I seetled for a lager.
With Tobys menu change at 7pm I see a lot of customers ,who after being asked to wait while a few bowls of food are changed, prefer to leave. This is usually because the early cheaper menu customers have grabbed all the seats. I prefer the early price myself and consider the new menu overpriced when you consider the bulk buying power of theses people.

Fine for a cheap roast

One ale (GK IPA) with a really tight sparkler. Taken off without a fuss, but I could see why it was on as the beer that emerged was flat and past its best - sparklers do tend to disguise this visually.
Otherwise, it's a basically a big barn that does low-cost food.
Not worthwhile for a drink.

Visited it a couple of years ago and wasnt impressed. But service is now quite good. Probably only worth visiting for food. Very good prices
|
Simply corporate branding, not much different to being the Culpeper Mill.

Oh come on, you can't seriously consider a 'pub' with a name like this can you?
Food's great though, especially Sunday roast.

No better or worse than you'd except - clean, bright, large open plan bar where most people are only there for the food. The beer is Greene King IPA and I had no problems with quick half I had. At �2.40 a pint it's reasonably priced.

You've got to love a Toby, if only for the excellent feed! Besides that, this one's got generally friendly staff, and decent drinks at not bad prices.

It's plastic, it's a corporate mass production, it's the same across the country. except:-
the food is excellent;
the beer is well-kept;
the service is good (mostly); and, most important,
it's within walking distance of my gaff!
