    Yes it’s a Greene King. Toby does a much better carvery.

    Must admit I went to 2 Toby's during our visit there last month and would never eat at either of them again (Dodworth and one in Leeds somewhere). 3 slices of not very good meat is not my idea of great value for the 12 and 15 pounds I think we paid. Had a quite nice lamb shank Sunday Roast meal in the Rock at Wentworth for a similar price and didn't feel I had to build a mountain of veg on my plate to get my money's worth (it's not a carvery anyway so couldn't even if I'd wanted to).

    That's a Greene King as well.

    Price is £7 or add £1 to go large. Same price 7 days a week. Meat was quality. Plenty of veg choice. Would happily have paid twice that. Drinks were reasonable as well. Bottle wine £13-£20 a bottle. Two bottles Peroni are £6.

    Seating is well laid out. Couldn't believe the transformation from the last time we visited.
    Last time I went there the beef was burnt & tough, so seems to have improved.

    I normally call in the Marquis for carvery twice a month on a Wednesday, after doing Barnsley market shopping, good food
    normally, but has you say the roast potatoes were hard.

    Not been for a bit in the Toby at Dodworth, but my son was in there a couple of weeks ago, he said the food was good, while
    in the pub, Mark Labatt [Beast] off the TV programme the Chase, came in for a meal, he told my son he goes in regular for
    meals.
    Like son said, he'd hate to be behind him at a carvery or buffet, he's a big lad.

    He's been dieting. Apparently he'd lost 10 stone by August last year.

    This is fully refurbished and a much better experience. Far superior product to Toby carvery. Take your missus and if you don't think so, I'll send you the £16 via bank transfer, if you don't like it.

    You can pay for the fuel and drinks.
