ASK - Witney

6 Market Square, Witney, OX28 6BB

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.

REVIEWS OF ASK - Witney

E Foxall (6 March 2009)

I found this restaurant to be much overpriced for the food that they serve. I ordered a pasta dish, which was supposed to have a ‘rich, creamy mushroom sauce’. What came out was pasta with cream and mushrooms. It was completely bland and tasteless. Something my 12 year old could have easily made a better job of at home.

Paul (2 January 2009)

The food is great there; we have eaten there many times. Sadly they are poorly managed. We went in today and even though the place was half empty we had to wait at the bar for a seat, and then wait ten minutes at a table with no menus and no drinks order taken. Even though we had a spend £20 get £5 off voucher, it was easier to leave, throw it in the bin, and go to the supermarket on the way home. This is a generic experience of service in ASK. Quite often I’m willing to accept it as the food is very good, but sometimes being hungry and being ignored is a bit too much. Many people I know have said the same, and I’ll be spreading the word of our latest experience there when I go out later.
