Toby Carvery’s help page says “We also offer a Birthday reward for guests who have signed up at least 14 days before their birthday.” It’s a UK carvery chain, the reward lands in your email or app two weeks ahead, and the page never says what the reward is.
What Toby Carvery Is
Wikipedia calls it a “British carvery chain,” and its pages list restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales, from Aldenham to Worthing. It belongs to Mitchells and Butlers, which is named as the promoter in the terms. Everything below is for people dining in Britain.
How To Get The Toby Carvery Birthday Deal
Create an account on the Toby Carvery website or in its app, and put in your date of birth. The help page explains the timing: “This reward will be sent via email or added to your app 14 days before your birthday and will remain valid for 14 days after your birthday.” That makes a four-week stretch, two weeks before and two after. Sign up less than 14 days ahead and you miss it, because the reward is only for “guests who have signed up at least 14 days before their birthday.”
One Date-Of-Birth Trap
The app locks the date of birth after you register. If you typed it wrong, the help page says to contact Guest Care with the email on the account and the right date. It also warns that if the corrected date puts a birthday voucher inside the last 12 months, “a new birthday voucher will not be issued until the following year.” So check the date before you tap the button.
What The Reward Is Worth
The page says “T&Cs apply” and nothing else about the reward. It doesn’t name a free meal, a percentage or a price, and the main terms page describes the stamp card and the sign-up voucher but not the birthday one. To find out what yours is, check the app the day it arrives, or ask the restaurant.
The Other Perks Around It
New Carvery Club members get “25% off food*, valid Monday to Saturday” as a thank you, which is a sign-up voucher and not the birthday reward. The stamp card pays out “a free adult main or breakfast” at the third stamp and “30% off your bill” at the fifth. The terms add that rewards “cannot be redeemed on Sundays.”
Booking A Birthday Table
The celebrations page is separate from the reward. For “all parties of four or more,” Toby will “provide balloons and a special Toby congratulations card free of charge.” Everything else is paid for and pre-ordered with the booking: a celebration cake for 17.99 pounds, a chocolate brownie for 4.39 pounds that the team presents to the birthday guest, a bottle of prosecco, or a bucket of five Budweiser beers for 15 pounds. Pre-orders close at 9pm the day before the table.
What The Old Post Claimed
An earlier version of this post said the birthday email carried a free item or a discount and that you should bring ID to prove your birthday. The help page does describe an emailed or in-app reward, but names no free item or discount and says nothing about showing ID.
What Was Actually Checked
Toby Carvery’s help page, Carvery Club page, offers page, celebrations page and terms were read on 2026-10-08, along with Wikipedia. None of the pages states the value of the birthday reward. The help page also says promotions may differ in Scotland, so check the app there.
Eligibility and Cost
An account is free. You need to be signed up 14 days before the birthday, and the reward is valid for 14 days after it.
