About Toby Carvery

Toby Carvery has three decades of satisfied customers behind us, and we’re part of a heritage that goes back even further. Our parent company, Mitchells & Butlers can trace their history right back to 1898.

When Mitchells & Butlers first started out, Queen Victoria was still on the throne and the first aeroplane flight was still five years away!

Today Mitchells & Butlers serves over 135 million meals and 453 million drinks every year as the leading restaurant and pub operator in the UK. At Toby Carvery, we’re proud to play our part, serving 21 million of those meals.

Who is Toby?

We’re often asked who exactly this Toby character is, and the honest answer is that no one knows for sure! The name comes from the iconic Toby jug, which is a pottery jug made in the shape of a head, usually wearing a tricorn hat, which forms the spout.

Toby character jugs can be made to resemble anyone, from John F Kennedy to Winston Churchill. A rare jug of Fidel Castro, one of only three ever made, sold for a whopping £8,280 in 2012!
