TOBY Carvery staff in Thorpe Bay are celebrating after boss Darren Frost won the General Manager of the Year award.

Mr Frost was chosen as one of the winners of Toby Carvery’s very first Toby’s Got Talent competition.

The competition saw Toby managers from all 172 restaurants go head to head to find the UK’s top general manager, based on the internal scorecard each site is scored on throughout the year.

After strong deliberation from the judges, Darren Frost from Toby Carvery Thorpe Bay was crowned General Manager of the Year and received an all-expenses paid trip to Champagne with a stopover in Paris on the way back in recognition of his achievement.

He said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to have won. It shows the great work put in not only by myself in making Toby Carvery Thorpe Bay a success, but also the continued commitment to great quality service from our team members.”
