Toby Carvery Salters Wharf - Fylde

We had an excellent experience at this restaurant. The vegetables were fresh, the meat portions were generous, and there was a wide variety of choices available. We made a reservation a week in advance and we were so pleased we did because the restaurant was bustling! The staff were all friendly and accommodating, working seamlessly together to anticipate our needs. Congratulations on a successful and busy day!

In January we booked a table for a family of four at 6pm on Mothering Sunday. We had planned our day well in advance because we know how busy this day can be. We arrived at 6pm to be told they were running behind schedule and we’d have about a half hour wait for a table. The small bar area was full of customers in exactly the same situation. We had two young, very hungry, children with us. The 30 minute wait for a table turned into 40, during which time the children became increasingly restless. A stressful experience. When we finally got a table we heard a table nearby complain it had been 40 minutes for them and they hadn’t even received a drinks order. Thankfully our young waitress was friendly and attentive. While in the queue for food a staff member commented to a woman with a sleeping child “aww that’s nice”. To which the woman replied “he wouldn’t be asleep if we hadn’t had to wait so long!” The food itself was good and we enjoyed the meal. While eating we could hear other staff saying they’d lost track of what was happening and the plan was to “wing it.” We saw other customers leaving with children, clearly also angered by the delays. The wait meant our kids missed their bedtime. Parents with over tired children will appreciate the issues this causes. Unable to award any more than two stars because having planned this so far in advance we feel really let down. They’d clearly accepted too many bookings and couldn’t handle it. If you can’t honour the booking time don’t accept the booking!

Even though the restaurant was packed, we were promptly served. The carvery we had was delicious, consistently of high quality. I appreciate that they use fresh vegetables and offer a variety of options. The meat was tender and the gravy was fantastic! In my opinion, this place cannot be surpassed.

We are regular customers who often come in for breakfast and carvery meals. We had a fantastic experience this morning, despite the restaurant being busy. The kitchen staff were constantly bringing out fresh food, the lady cleaning tables was efficient, and the service at the bar was excellent and professional. We were not disappointed at all and will definitely be returning with friends and family. A big thank you to Nick, Craig, Delma, and the entire kitchen team for a wonderful dining experience. Thank you, Tilly and Harvey.

Nice carvery but sometimes you have to wait for serving dishes to be replaced but apart from that a nice meal with plenty of choice
