Carvery restaurant with Yorkshire puddings
Culinarily, the "Toby Carvery Watermill" is particularly known for its carvery, where guests can choose from a selection of four slow-cooked meats, including the juicy "Roast Beef," which is especially tender and flavorful due to its slow cooking process. This is traditionally served with hand-roasted potatoes, extra crispy, as well as homemade Yorkshire puddings that are freshly made and fluffy on the plate. The "Gammon," a savory ham served with a rich gravy and seasonal vegetables, is also very popular. In addition to the carvery, there are alternatives like the "Mac & Cheese Loaded Yorkie," a creative dish where a Yorkshire pudding is filled with creamy cheese macaroni—a modern twist that still retains a British touch. For a sweet finish, the "Chocolate Fudge Cake," a rich dessert, impresses with its chocolate intensity.
Family-friendly pub with kids menu
The drink selection is equally varied and complements the food well. The establishment offers a range of traditional ales that pair excellently with the hearty dishes, as well as a selection of wines and soft drinks. Notably, the all-you-can-eat breakfast, available daily, features everything from freshly cooked bacon to warm Yorkshire puddings—a offering that appeals to early risers and late sleepers alike. Seasonal specials and offers such as the "Toby Tasters"—small starters like BBQ Poppin’ Chicken—provide additional variety and enhance the overall experience.
