Went here for a wedding reception. Had our own room which was very nice. They were very helpful as my husband is in a wheelchair they have a lift which was very helpful. The food was delicious.

Me and my girlfriend went for dinner here earlier this evening. Our food was taken away before we even answered whether we were finished or not. Then we ordered water and it took longer than 15 mins to the point I had to go to the bar and collect the water. Unfortunately with not be returning.

Our recent visit to ASK Italian around 3 pm was met with a 30-minute wait in the queue before securing a table. However, the wait was worth it. We were greeted with a complimentary refreshing lemonade shot, a thoughtful gesture from the staff.Our culinary adventure at ASK Italian was a delight! We savored the Sharer Cheese Garlic Bread, Aubergine Pizza, Spaghetti Lentil Ragu, and indulged in the decadent Chocolate Lasagne. Accompanying our meal were glasses of Red Wine: Malbec IGT and Merlot IGT.The standout dish was the Spaghetti Lentil Ragu, boasting a creamy and tangy flavor profile that left a lasting impression. Each dish showcased quality ingredients and exquisite flavors.The staff's sweetness and accommodation further elevated our dining experience. The ambiance was captivating, adding to the overall charm of the place.ASK Italian presents a blend of premium dining experiences at budget-friendly prices, making it an exceptional choice. I highly recommend it!

We went with a party from work and have been here many times with great service but on this occasion. The first thing we were greeted with was we are short staffed this I can understand but there was no water on the table and not enough cutlery these are basic things that we should not have to ask for. We weren't allowed to go to the bar but we had to ask 5 times for a drink and the meal was not good either . I have never received bad service like this here don't think I'll be coming again

The wow factor that you get from the Assembly Rooms setting makes a visit to ASK a little more special at this time of year. Food was good, servers were a bit busier than usual, but a pleasant and relaxed visit.Wheelchair accessibility: Access is via steps to the main entrance. I don't think there is any other entrance.

A chain restaurant is never going to be totally mind blowing food wise, but certainly does the job and caters for everyone (very vegan friendly!) with affordable and tasty food. The building itself however really is mind blowing for an Ask!

Lovely meal and all staff were very friendly. The building inside is so elegant, it used to be a ballroom that my parents went to in the 50s.

Visited October 2023: the building is breathtaking. Vaulted ceilings and marble work, it?s a massive venue and looks stunning. The food is normal for an ASK. What frustrates me is this service charge- this isn?t America, staff are paid well but on top of that, ASK have an app where you can order it all yourself and therefore don?t have any interaction with staff beyond them bringing your food so for them to then have a charge on top is laughable. We paid by the app and it wouldn?t let you remove the optional service charge which is unacceptable you could only edit how much you have but you had to give SOMETHING so changed it to a single penny but I?m even annoyed I had to give that tbh. Increase your prices if you want a service charge that?s mandatory.This location is not wheelchair accessible, there are lots of steps at the entrance but despite being in a wheelchair my mum managed to get me up all of them.

6 of us, including our two grandkids (8 & 5) were made very welcome! The food was particularly good and good value, especially with a Defence Discount Card reduction.The staff seem to enjoy working there, which makes the atmosphere in the palatial surroundings just right! Ethel was our lovely waitress and she couldn?t have been more natural and pleasant!! Thank you!!Kid-friendliness: Ethel took the extra time to let the little ones order for themselves and made sure they were treated like the rest of us without being condescending. A kind lady!!
