"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."

The setting was stunning, and the Down Club sandwich was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to try their roast. I'm excited to return!

Had a lovely meal and happy to return. It was a bit pricey as still had the Christmas menu on 8th Jan (it was the last day of that menu).
Jacob
We had an amazing lunch! Once again, the service was excellent, the food was top-notch, and the atmosphere was beautiful. It was simply wonderful!

We enjoyed a delicious full English breakfast and had tea and coffee as well. The parking is straightforward with plenty of space, making it easy to meet up with friends and family.

A very good meal at Bassett Down but on this occasion we experienced a few hiccups. No spoon for the veg and an extra drink on the bill which I didn't order. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our meal. Whist my wife found the rectangular presentation and texture of the pork belly not to her taste she really liked the black pudding gnocchi. Great service as ever. Overall a good experience.
