"Sunday lunch was ok but was luke warm, good quantities however and was tasty, I have had better for approx £17 for the beef roast. Service was ok considering it was not overly busy but could have been better waited a while for drinks and starters. Overall it was ok which is a shame considering the place itself is lovely and the staff also seemed nice and polite maybe a bad day"

"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."

"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 dining experience was delightful, and the atmosphere was fantastic. While it's not the cheapest option, the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. I would definitely consider booking here again for a special occasion."

"Stunning building:, Front of house vrry welcoming, Chef couldn't have been more accommodating our party had a little boy in, Chef came out said would we like a small plated roast made up so he could have it the right temperature for him he would get his meal the same time as us. What a lovely thought so kind. We all had a great Sunday Roast. Thank you all, see you soon"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I have been wanting to come here for some time and today I made it for a lunch date with my sister. Well it didn’t disappoint. The service was fab and the food was delicious and so much of it. I noticed there was a big garden with a lovely play area which would be great for future visits with my children. Extremely good value for money and in a beautiful peaceful spot.Can’t wait to come back."

"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."

"My friend and I meet up and visit here for a chance to catch up, five or six times a year. We keep returning because we like the atmosphere, we can sit and chat and enjoy our meal in a very pleasant environment. The Menu is very appealing, it seems to vary a bit from season to season. We are yet to try the Steak Night. The Specials are always tempting and we always enjoy our meal. Stay are friendly and service is good. I would recommend this venue for a quiet meal out. We will certainly return."

"I think it was a bit to do with timing as the cabbage and carrots were very dry. I did not select any cabbage. My wife said the Yorkshire pudding did no feel or taste right (I did not have one). This is unusual as normaly everything is very good. This would not stope from returning as I believe it was unfortunate timing."

"The restaurant offers a spacious and friendly atmosphere and the food is generally good, except for the overpriced and bland Miso Caesar salad. Despite being acceptable on its own, it lacked flavor and ingredients for its high price of £15.70. Some diners suggested it would be better as a starter or side dish, rather than a main course. Overall, a great dining experience except for this dish."
