Toby Carvery have revealed more about a 'little-known' service which allows fans to enjoy meals in the comfort of their own home.

While many of us won't be able to enjoy a meal with friends or family, the restaurant chain have an alternative option so food fans don't miss out.

Dozens of branches across the country have a special 'takeaway' option, which allows customers to come and collect meals, plus a number of locations also offer a delivery service.

We've put together what you need to know about the service.

How to order a Toby takeaway?

Customers will need to place an order via the Toby Carvery website.

The website states: "Select the time you would like to pick up the takeaway from your local Toby restaurant.

"Choose what you would like from the menus – starters, mains and puddings. Check everything is correct on your order.

"Pay for your order using credit or debit card through our safe and secure payment system.

"We will confirm your order and our chefs will start putting together your meal, so it is ready at your chosen pick-up time. We will also send you an email as a receipt and confirmation."

How does Toby Takeaway work?

Using our online takeaway booking system, you choose what time you would like to pick up your order and choose from our great selection of real food menus. You pay online and once confirmed we start making your order at the chosen venue. You can then relax knowing our chefs are hard at work putting your order together. When you arrive at the venue, we will grab your takeaway and you can go home to enjoy Toby’s famous roast!

How are the takeaways packaged?

The chain added: "We use a variety of recyclable cardboard and plastic packaging designed to keep your food fresh, piping hot and looking good all the way from our restaurant to your home with no spillages."

Can takeaway orders be placed within restaurants?

"Rather than ordering online you can pop into your local Toby restaurant and order a takeaway from inside.

"Our friendly staff will be more than happy to help. It shouldn’t take long to put together but if it’s during our peak hours it may take a little longer than usual," the chain added.

What can't customers order through the takeaway service?

The earliest customers can order is for an 11.45am pickup and latest is 10pm.

Toby Carvery added: "We don’t offer our breakfast menu for takeaway at the moment and neither can you order drinks for takeaway.

"Our starters, mains, puddings and kid’s menus are all available to order for takeaway though."
