Testimonials 

"Our Celebration of Life event went so much better than we dreamed possible. We were able to give the sort of send off to do him proud, and all our guests loved the evening too. I completely appreciated the discretion of you and your staff with keeping me up to date with the bar bill, and the way the buffet was handled. I was one of the last to go for food, and I had piping hot fresh cooked fish and chips.  I cannot praise Basset Down highly enough, and have visited  Basset Down since it opened - we have always found it to be a lovely relaxed, buzzy place" - June, 2024

"I just wanted to thank you and your team for making our Celebration of Life booking so memorable. The young lady who ran the event was so helpful and efficient, nothing was any trouble. I was hoping that the food would last out, and my goodness it did. That is just a personal thing – have travelled the country for funerals only to find those at the front of the queue scoffed so much there was none for those at the end. The venue is magnificent. People could not believe we were just a mile from Junction 16. I know some people were so impressed they took a leaflet for future events. Once again, many thanks to you are your team. You are all awesome" - May, 2024
