"dreadful, very horny waitress. eat more pretentious, over price, tasted ‘ok’, but really nothing special. my chicken capital did not come with veg or kartoffel, so they have to buy the separately at £4, which if they arrive are enough for 2 people. a real waste of food and so stupid, not included with the main dish. no great place if they want a romantic or quiet table for 2. very loud. the bad layout and no idea of sitting things, meant that we stuck between 2 big groups of people, a side with a woman who swarms all the time. not funny. probably okay if they're on work night or a big birthday party. but it felt very hastened and they did not have a front side of the house to check everything is ok, or if they needed something. our waitress has done her best, but it took ages to get the bill as we could not signal anyone, and forget to need something or more drinks. we were handed over a menu when we set ourselves, but had to wait 10 minutes to ask for a wine menu. everything in all it felt like a transport belt system, nothing friendly or personal, very hurried, loud and badly managed. we are happy to get out of there and drink a drink somewhere else. they also have to sit in their moms, as nowhere to hang them and the toilets are not signed, so had to guess and ask for directions in the main hotel next door. the lighting and decorations were beautiful, but this is about the best I can say about it. will not come back soon."

"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 a table for Sunday lunch, arrived to a small table by the toilets. Half the pub is jolly families out for lunch, the other half is dead eyed old geezers staring into an afternoon pint. We were in the old geezer half. We ordered roast lamb £17 each) and then waited, and waited... and waited. We gave it about an hour before asking when our food would arrive, the stressed waiter explained that they were very busy but that it wouldn't be long. We waited another 45 mins before asking again at the bar no one updated us as to what was going on). The lady behind the bar said that our food would be 6 minutes... While we waited for another 15 minutes someone on the table next to us was making a complaint about the portions being very small and the food not being good. The waiting staff didn't know what to say to her. Alarm bells were ringing that when our food arrived it was not going to be good. When the plates eventually turned up they were very small portions, a single piece of meat and a small pile of vegetables. A normal sized Yorkshire pudding was about 3/4 of the total meal. We decided that we had reached the end of our patience and decided to reject the food and leave the pub, thankfully we hadn't paid yet and so didn't have to go through the fuss of a refund. The staff were apologetic once we decided to leave, but it was too little too late. I felt sorry for them because management had obviously hung them out to dry with not enough staff and not enough food to go round."
