"I have recently moved to Swindon from London and was trying to find a place to take my wife for her birthday. my expectations was close to find dinning and I can assure you that Bassett down turned out to be an excellent choice. I was a little doubtful with my previous outings in Swindon as none of the restaurants you'd exactly call fine Dine. I was wrong and the whole evening was a pleasant experience and I'd already recommended to my friends and family here. We went on a Friday evening 6pm ish and the place was relatively quiet, could have been January blues. Design of the restaurant it self is contemporary. At the door greeted by a member of staff (I think his name is Dan) and was shown our reserved table. He was very attentive throughout the evening , very chatty at the end and helpful with the menu when needed. Dan is a top chap in my opinion. Food was very good, I had Lamb which melted like butter in my mouth . My partner had Sea bass, again tasted very good. Definitely try the rice fritters with peanut sauce, don't expect the calamari to be heavily coated and sticky toffee for dessert was sublime. My wife was pleasantly surprised to see her dessert with a candle on it and written Happy birthday. We had 3 course meal with a drink each and it was just over £80. Which I find it a bargain given the nature of the food, service and ambience. Parking was plentiful. All in all this was a fantastic place and I have found somewhere I could take guests when they visit Swindon, if they wanna go somewhere different to Greggs or Mcdonalds."

"Booked online and arrived 5 minutes early, the restaurant smelled a bit strange and we noticed as soon as we walked in. I requested on the booking to sit in restaurant but we were shown to a table one away from the bar. I said we requested restaurant and was ignored as the guy walked away. Waiter came over a few minutes later and looked very stressed. We gave our order and were asked if we wanted pigs in blankets which used to be £1.99. We said yes please and then waiter advised they were £3.99. We just said ok and went up to get our food there wasn’t much of a queue for a change and I got my meat, good selection of potatoes and veg. Hubby wasn’t impressed with amount of meat as only had two slices of meat cut very thinly. He doesn’t like cabbage or sprouts so all he could have by way of veg was carrots and peas. There was no broccoli, swede, leeks, red cabbage, sweetcorn or parsnips. We both had gravy but it didn’t have much taste and was quite thin which made my mash turn into a paste. My husband finished his meal and there was no sign of the pigs in blankets, I asked the waiter to cancel them and they said they had just asked the kitchen, I replied we don’t want them as we’ve nearly finished our meal. The tables were quite close and the lady on the next table was quite large so each time she sat down or got up we had her rear end in our faces. (Not her fault obviously the tables are too close together). As I was finished the waiter advised they had taken the pigs in blankets off the bill. The waiter was rushing around clearing tables, taking orders, doing deserts, starters and drinks so we couldn’t get their attention for a desert so decided to just pay and leave. At £14.79 per meal we weren’t happy with the amount of meat and lack of taste in the gravy. Very disappointing and for that price we expected more. Quality has definitely gone down although prices have gone up"
