"This restaurant is a fantastic spot for evening drinks. The atmosphere is cool, the music is decent, and the cocktails are nice. The crowd is very young, but that doesn't bother me personally."

"Short notice booking made thru Open Table. As there were 4 of us, we chose to sit in conservatory overlooking garden which is a work in progress but hey, it's November. Food was delicious and good choices, staff were attentive but not overly and was reasonable value for money. Would recommend u try it Vegetarian options: Some good veggie options Service: Dine in"

"Toby's restaurant now typically offers three vegan options and one vegan dessert, the chocolate cherry torte. The dessert can be served with either ice cream or freshly whipped cream, although both contain dairy. It is important to double check for butter, as it was not available on the vegetarian dish during my last visit. The staff at Toby's are friendly and accommodating."

"We were initially impressed with the appearance of the restaurant. However, our experience quickly went downhill when our waitress seemed to have no knowledge of the beer selection or the menu. Despite our request for a burger without tomato, it was served with tomato. When we pointed this out, the same burger was simply returned to us with the tomato removed, which was disappointing. Thankfully, no one in our party was allergic to tomato. Overall, we were unimpressed with the service and the atmosphere of the restaurant. We likely will not be returning. On a positive note, the exterior of the building was quite nice, but the interior felt more like a community hall and lacked any special charm."

"It has always been a treat to have lunch at The Red Lion, but I notice corners are being cut butter is not in little pots any more with the red lion logo on top. My artichoke soup was delicious and could not be faulted imaginative with olives and parmesan cheese; the chicken liver parfait was pleasant but a bit cloying and came with a large slab of toasted brioche just the one and two thinner piece would have been more delicate, plus there was a lack of sweet jelly or even a spring of watercress. They are good, but if they believe in themselves much more, they will become unbearable. I will go bak but I hope to see an improvement in attitude."

"We celebrated my Dad's birthday here and were so delighted with our choice. Really delicious food with fresh flavours. Some mains had smaller plate versions which pleased Dad. It's a beautiful dining room in an historic building. I'm a sucker for crisp white tablecloths and we felt very well looked after by the friendly,relaxed but professional waiter. We will be back."

"I'm very disappointed at todays Sunday lunch, We booked a table and arrived on time, We were shown to our table and placed our drinks order then joined the que for the Sunday roast, Then it all goes down hill, I can fully appreciate that take away orders being available but why should service stop for the in house diners ? I would say that the que had over forty people in it for quite some time when take away meals were being dished up, Surely for a better dining experience the take away meals should be prepared in the kitchen and let the the in house customers have a more comfortable visit"

"The food at this restaurant is delicious and the portions of Sunday roast are huge, all at reasonable prices. The front parking was a bit cramped, but there are some easily accessible spaces in the additional parking area. There is a large children's play area that kept the kids entertained while waiting for their meal. The service was also excellent. The only downside is that the venue itself feels a bit worn and run down, especially the bar area. Overall, I would give the food a rating of 5 out of 5."

"eating was good, but the table was sticky, like he never cleaned with a decent greasy. it was also disappointing that all the condiments were in baggage, and when we asked for me, it seemed like an inconvenience, or an surprise that with 7 people 5 scarlet were not enough. also tee at the end came with small pots milk. when we asked for fresh milk, they said they had no one. but coffee had been made with milk. individual bags of seasoned and milk are not acceptable in this day and age."

"This pub is excellent for watching sports games. Be sure to try the cheesy garlic bread and chicken strips during half time - you won't be disappointed! The service is top-notch and the atmosphere is great. There is plenty of parking available in the free parking lot. Overall, a fantastic place to dine in. Price per person is £1-10."

"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."

"we went on Saturday at 4.00 clock, we just got drinks served. carol asked what we wanted to know we like the fish plate. no cadry so that we can have additional fish cakes or garnel! there were four of us. I asked for a window table and safe enough that was requested! the food took a while, but we were not in a hurry. we have more drinks. when the food arrived, it was great and they brought us a bowl of chips that were made delicious at home! these were free due to our waiting time! we're coming back. Thank you."

"My family have been out here many times and always received great food. Today myself my sister and cousin came out and had a carvery which was the best ever! The food was piping hot and the service was brilliant. Love and clean, staff were cleaning after every table was done with, gel provided and we were not sat close to others. Very impressed! Will be back again soon."

"the toby carvery was the obvious place where the travelodge nextdoor is located. Unfortunately, what we found was a big disappointment. on the first (Friday) with us was said that they were short staff and closing the buffet so that we could eat if we wanted. but it was the end of the service, so we saw what we got. the food was acceptable. I was worried that none of the hand pumps worked on the bar and the guinness pump was not in order. (a native told me that it had been like that for weeks). the choice for an ale-drinker was therefore john smiths smooth or nothing. on Saturday they did not even open the whole day because of the personal problems. Sunday was the best day with good food and some service, but no improvement of the bar. Monday was a catastrophe. they served, but by cleaning the carvery and could not even offer us a sandwich. I returned to the bar for a “night capsule”. the managerin seemed to be the only person present, and she was totally focused on the fertilizer so I went without being served. a beautiful stay in front of the place was pampered by our experience here, so if we go we hope they have more luck."

"My 91 year old mother has been a regular customer to this carvery for several years. She particularly likes this restaurant as she visits with family, which is a real treat for her and can choose manageable portions to suit her poor appetite. As she eats less than a child’s portion, I have often asked staff if she can have a child’s portion this request is always denied by staff. It sickens me to see other customers, both adults their children piling their plates high with obscenely amounts of food, then return for even more! I find it grossly unfair that she is always charged full price, despite the fact it’s clear to see she is elderly frail. As far as I’m concerned, she’s paying to support the cost of someone else’s gluttony."

"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"
