I would Not call it a recommendation but more to the Contrary. My Wife & I have not been there for years & that was when it was called the ''Natterjack''. It is My Birthday this weekend & My Wife thought She would surprise me & go to the Toby Carvery as some of her work mates had recommended it to her. We both went there this evening Friday April 15th 2011.
May I say that We were both shocked by the Food on offer. Turkey / Beef / Honey Mustard Gammon, all sounds great but if it is poorly cooked or dried out as this was then it is Not to appetising. The Vege was all dried out including the Peas which looked like they had been shrunk & were wrinkled. The Mashed potato was like Crispy Polycell. To put it mildly it was a disgrace. The carvery meat was badly presented in as much as the Beef was only the size of A Fist as was the Honey Mustard Gammon & yet it was still being carved up. The Turkey on the other hand was about 12inch high. My Wife & I do go to the Bay Horse in Formby & have never had a bad meal there. We most certainly will Not be back to the Ainsdale Toby. Thought you should know. We could Not Fault the Service or the Staff but the Food Yaaagh !!!
