ASK - Wetherby 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've been there a few times and the experience was inconsistent. They've been great in an early evening with our young daughter on some occasions but just ignored us on others. When in a large group the bill was presented with a lot more than we had ordered and I've heard similar stories from others. We live very close, we love pizza and this restaurant has lovely premises but we don't often go. Having said that it is often quite busy so they must be doing something right!

On Sunday my family and I ate at ASK, Wetherby after a trade show. Although the food was good, the service was dire, the waiters were at best incompetent, complaints were handled badly, and out of four main courses, three desserts and a coffee; two main courses and one dessert were sent back because they were cold, the coffee was tepid. Bizarrely ice cream was served in a dish so hot it arrived in a puddle of melted cream, and the apple crumble was so cold the accompanying ice cream served on top had not melted at all. The manager was apologetic but ineffective, he did not charge for the desserts and coffee, but at £51.30 for four main courses, garlic bread and soft drinks, it represents very poor value.
