ASK - Bristol

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.

Bordeaux Quay

Without being over-dramatic it is probably fair to say that what is happening at this quay, where barrels of Claret and Sauternes used to be unloaded after their journey from the vineyards of Aquitaine, is one of the most exciting developments in our attitude towards the food and drink we consume.
