Food so good, it'll make you rethink all the bad "Italian" food you've eaten before! The garlic bread was great, it's better without the mozzarella cheese. The pasta was perfect. Even the takeaway was good the next day! The service was unremarkable, restaurant was clean and the bathrooms were well taken care of.

Food was excellent. Lovely place and would come again. Great range of pizzas and pasta dishes and a load of other tasty dishes. Unfortunately the only thing that let it down was the service. It was fine at the start but after our mains we were kind of forgotten about and polishing glasses or rearranging tables were more important than us. But maybe it was just an off night so shall be returning and hopefully it was just a one off.
Edit: just been again and it was great. Service was speedy and pleasant. The food came out also very quick and it didn't compromise on the quality as it was excellent. I'm not to sure if lamb works on pizza but it was worth the try as I had never tried it😅. Overall much better service than last time. Very good and shall return again I'm sure soon

Really good service. We had to wait hardly anytime at all for a table. Yet we were given a free drink to thank us for our patience. The food was delicious. It is not haute cuisine but it is tasty and good value for money. Our Polish waitress was very nice and efficient. We will go back.

We were on a tight schedule to see a show at the local theatre so it was important to us that we were served promptly. We mentioned this to the waitress when we arrived and she couldn't have been more helpful in ensuring that our orders were taken as soon as we had decided on what we wanted. The food arrived and was hot and delicious. Congratulations to Ask for looking after this customer so well. Highly recommended.

Nice, friendly staff and delicious, quickly served food. Great children's menu and adult's menu alike. Make sure to leave space for pudding! If you subscribe to their emails you will regularly be emailed with discounts- usually about 25% off food. Definitely worth a try for your next special event

Delicious lunch from the lighter option menu. Love the new purple pesto pasta- it’s my latest go to option at Ask. The service a little slow considering it was quite quiet (they seemed a little more focused on cleaning behind the bar etc) so it took longer than we hoped to pay the bill. Very friendly staff, clean interiors and comfortable seats. Good value with our Tastecard.

Went here with my 2 year old. One girl looking after restaurant floor with manager behind bar. Couldn't fault the service. The kids menu is certainly value for money and because my L.o was more than happy I was able to relax and enjoy my lunch. Will be returning.

A Saturday evening visit, and we had a table reserved .
The staff were very polite and provided excellent service.
The menu offers an extensive choice of starters ,main courses and desserts.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the food, the portion size was large and very good value for money.
