ASK - Warwick Description
For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking.
Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken. Their claim to serve freshly prepared quality food in stylish and comfortable surroundings with friendly and efficient service proved to be absolutely spot on.
Since then I have also discovered that a degree of consistency seems to operate throughout their restaurants, and that certainly does take some achieving, implying a degree of management that is enviable. They are perfect places for an impromptu snack, a bit of culinary grazing, or the full works, and families are catered for particularly well.
Their trendy décor usually comprises tiled floors and black furniture with well set tables that sparkle with glass, silver and spotless linen. Ten starters include crostini and bruschetta, followed by a range of salads, pasta and al forno, oven baked pasta, some with chicken.
The pizzas are stone baked in the oven, creating a crisp, authentic and delicious flavour, and they all come topped with mozzarella and tomato. Calzone introduce a touch of opulence with a folded pizza baked in the oven and topped with garlic butter and melted grana padano, whilst inside expect to find chicken or a vegetarian mix.
Amongst the specials may I warmly, in every sense, recommend the polpette al forno, a popular Milanese dish of beef meatballs sautéed in garlic with fire roasted peppers, caramelised onions, chilli and pomodoro sauce, with penne pasta, topped with cheese and oven baked.
An enticing selection of desserts list banoffee pie and tiramisu amongst them, and the coffee tastes like coffee, which may sound banal, but I guess you know what I mean.
Thanks to a well selected wine list speculative drinking can offer handsome dividends, even with prices rarely crossing the £20 barrier.

We had a very good meal there yesterday for a family party with outstanding service and I would like to congratulate all the staff involved. Nothing was too much trouble even to the extent that the birthday cake was brought in three times because we were not quite ready. Many thanks to all of you.

We have visited this particular ASK outlet on many occasions and to date have had very little to complain about. However, we noticed a marked difference with our dining experience yesterday evening. The food was somewhat lacking with a quite soggy pizza and less than inspiring special of terrina Mediterranea, but the real let down was the appalling attitude of the serving staff. In the past we have found all front of house staff to be very helpful and friendly, but on this occasion we left feeling battered and bruised. We had simply asked that our starter plates and dishes be cleared before our main plates are placed, however, this was met with a mixture of derision and astonishment that we the customer would make such requests. We endured stares and glares for the rest of the meal. Far from enjoyment, it was more like endurance. We have made a formal complaint regarding the individuals concerned. We know this is not usual of ASK and have enjoyed many a pleasurable time at the ASK based nearby in Stratford. Service with a smile, perhaps the Warwick staff could learn from?
