Toby Carvery

Have always enjoyed the food at this place, but the waiting times are appauling and they never let you book in advance for a Sunday sitting.
Staff are always friendly, the food is prefectly cooked and the whole place has a comfortable and homey décor

Pretty average «Toby Carvery «all round, having said that, it does get VERY busy every Day, so they must be doing something right, especially at a reasonable price of £5:95 per person, and the «Eat as much as you like «offer. Well worth a visit if you are on a limited budget IMHO

Good food but mash only served after 7pm or on Sundays

Cold veg. Long wait to be seated. Would nt go again

I’ve visited Olchfa House Toby Carvery at Killay on a number of occasions, most recently this evening for a Christmas meal. This is one of a chain and is a reasonable choice for a carvery meal. Good value with a large variety of choice of vegetables, all reasonably cooked but perhaps lacking a little individuality. Brussel sprouts would have benefited by some chestnuts or butter and pepper seasoning etc. The meats are well cooked, a little bit on the dry side perhaps when the restaurant is less busy, downside of a carvery really. For this time of year there is a Christmas menu with a set three course for £12.95, as well as the standard carvery menu as well as a few other non carvery items. The starters on the Christmas were a little disappointing with a very ordinary pâté and slightly pitiful prawn cocktail, on the plus side a decent Christmas pudding and nice ice cream brownie sundae style dessert ended the meal well.
If you’re looking for good value, they run a £5 carvery option which for an extra £1 can give you a small choice of starter or dessert. There is no limit on helping yourself to vegetables and yorkshires so this is a place for quantity if you just need a good fill!
Service was very good this evening with our waitress managing our table of 9 with good humour and patience! At times the service can be a little lack lustre.
