Toby Carvery owner toasts higher sales as pubs lead the way
Mitchells & Butlers chief executive Phil Urban said the company is 'working hard' to mitigate higher costs.
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage.
-
There have been notable news items around Toby Carvery related to tree felling at a site in Enfield and subsequent local authority actions. ITV News reported an emergency protection order on the Enfield site after a 400+ year-old tree was felled, with the council stating it would survey the site and consider permanent protections. This remains a developing local regulatory matter tied to the specific site and operator, not a broad franchise-wide issue.[5]
-
There have also been ongoing discussions in the press about closures or restructurings within the pub/restaurant sector, with Toby Carvery being mentioned in wider industry coverage as part of Mitchells & Butlers’ portfolio and related performance updates. For example, Independent and other outlets have covered the group’s sales performance and strategic remodeling across venues, though these are broader corporate context rather than site-specific incidents.[7][8]
-
In 2025 and 2026, there were multiple references to Toby Carvery in various outlets (including a 2025 ITV piece on the Enfield site and coverage of corporate results) showing a mix of local/regional matters and corporate performance rather than a single, unified “news” storyline about the brand.[8][5][7]
If you’d like, I can narrow to:
- Specific regional Toby Carvery stories (e.g., Enfield/London area), or
- Corporate news and financial performance for Mitchells & Butlers’ Toby Carvery locations,
- Or verify any particular date or incident you have in mind.
Would you like me to focus on a particular region, date range, or type of news (regulatory, financial, or consumer-facing)? I can also pull fresh sources if you want the most up-to-the-minute updates.
