Jake's First Roast

We thought you’d love to see exactly how we do it here at Toby. Actually, we went one step further and invited YouTube sensation and roast-dinner devotee, Jake Boys, to spend some time with top Toby chef, James Smith, in the Runwell kitchen.

Jake, best known for his entertaining content on his YouTube channel, has been coming to Toby for years but has never made a roast dinner himself. So we thought he’d make the perfect student and, of course, we needed some taste testers so he brought three of his mates along for the ride.

Take a look at the video here… Jake even sheds a tear!

Here at Toby, we’re on a mission to help you create memorable family experiences, and that’s why, whether you’re at your home or ours, we want to do whatever we can to support you in creating what we think is the ultimate family experience – that is gathering around the table to tuck into a hearty roast dinner.

Take a look at our menus for some Toby inspiration.


Whilst our chefs have made it their life’s work to perfect the techniques needed to create the perfect roast, we understand it can be daunting if you’re not used to cooking in this way, particularly for large numbers of people.

If it all sounds too much and you’d rather we did the hard work, our carvery deck overflowing with crisp roasties, meats cooked low and slow and crisp Yorkies awaits. Why not book a table and let us show you why we’re the home of the roast.
