Traditional British roast dinner

The "Toby Carvery Ainsworth" in Manchester is a classic British restaurant dedicated to the art of the traditional roast dinner. It belongs to the well-known Toby Carvery chain, which has been appreciated for its hearty roasts and family-friendly atmosphere for decades. The restaurant is located in an area that offers a mix of suburban tranquility and proximity to the vibrant city, making it a popular meeting place for locals as well as visitors seeking authentic British cuisine.

Yorkshire pudding wrap recipe

The menu revolves around the concept of "Carvery," where guests can help themselves to a buffet of freshly prepared dishes. Particularly noteworthy is the selection of juicy meats, including roast beef with a savory beef fat glaze, tender turkey, or gammon with a sweet pomegranate note. These are slow-cooked daily to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor. A true highlight is the Yorkshire puddings – light, crispy, and fresh from the kitchen – which must not be missed during any visit. Accompanying the roast is hand-mashed roasted potatoes, known for their extra crispy texture, as well as a colorful selection of seasonal vegetables prepared with care.

Vegetarian options at restaurant

In addition to the classic carvery offerings, Toby Carvery Ainsworth also presents creative alternatives. For instance, there's the "Yorkshire Pudding Wrap," filled with creamy mac & cheese, offering a modern twist on the traditional dish. For those who prefer not to have a roast, there are vegetarian options such as a vegetable dish with a melting camembert core or a vegan pie with roasted pumpkin served with homemade vegan gravy. The sides are also remarkable – the "Pigs in Blankets," small sausages wrapped in bacon, are a small but popular treat.

All you can eat breakfast buffet

The restaurant is known not only for its food but also for its inviting atmosphere. The decor is cozy and casual, with a touch of traditional British pub character, making it ideal for families, friends, or even business meals. Service is often described as warm and attentive, with staff always ready to guide guests through the carvery experience or accommodate special requests. Especially on weekends, the restaurant is bustling, as the Sunday roast – a British ritual – attracts many guests.

Cozy atmosphere in Manchester

The breakfast offerings should not be overlooked either. The "All-you-can-eat" breakfast buffet tempts with a variety of options, from classic English breakfast items like crispy bacon and sausages to sweet treats with fruit compote. It’s a relaxed way to start the day and is appreciated by guests for its generosity.

The drink menu rounds off the experience. In addition to a selection of beers, ciders, and wines, there are also non-alcoholic options and hot beverages like Lavazza coffee, which pairs perfectly with a hearty meal. Additionally, there are special menus for children designed with smaller portions and kid-friendly flavors, making the restaurant a popular destination for families.

Just replying to your comment. - we said multiple times we would pay for our food and drink and even dessert just not the beer which we didn’t drink?? - we were not rude to the lady at all, i doubt her calling me rude and stupid and yelling in front of other customers is very professional? - I actually completely understand why you took away the beer and probably would have even paid for it had it been handled completely differently. - I called to speak to you about this on the phone willing to even come back to pay for our food and drink however you were completely rude and dismissive also. This is a real shame. Please provide your staff with better customer service skills on how to manage these situations as you have now earned yourself a formal complaint. Thanks Jen!

The lady manager here is an absolute joke. Literally behaves like a 5 year old, calls her customers stupid and rude. Thanks for the free meal tho!!

We seemed to get our carvery just before they put some fresh veges on. Just one of those things I suppose. The waitress told us that we could only sit in the bar area but didn't give us a reason why. She only took us as far as the bar. A bit put off by her manners. Not the usual greeting. Bar staff pleasant.

Your stuff need to take more care with the preparation and slicing of the meat. My girlfriend is Jewish and every time we come. We witness someone using a knife on pork and then other meets.

Come in on Monday for a carvery. The staff are excellent and very friendly; they couldn't have been more helpful. They also had a quiz night with bingo. Overall, a really enjoyable night; I would highly recommend it.
