“We will be closed from Monday, February 13 to work on your new-look restaurant, but don’t worry – we won’t be closed for long.

“Join us when we re-open on Thursday, March 23 and see what’s charged at your new-look Halfway House Toby Carvery.

“Can’t wait that long for a tasty Toby? Your nearest restaurant during closure is Toby Carvery, Prince Avenue, Southend.”
