Ask Italian

Ask Italian very kindly sent us some vouchers to go and spend in one of their restaurants with a view to writing about our experiences.

So yesterday evening we headed for the Ask in Hereford and were greeted at the door by a waiter called Elliot. Elliot was cheery, attentive and very friendly, and the first thing he did was bring the kids some paper and crayons.

Both girls had a child's set menu (£5.95), which included a starter of veg sticks and garlic bread, followed by a pepperoni pizza, and then chocolate ice-cream. And Tom and I went for the three courses set menu at £16.95 each.

All four of us had three courses and the bill came to under £50. The menu is extensive, and the staff very helpful. Oh, and my five year old said she loved the music that was playing and that it made her feel happy!


“ASK Italian have launched a new menu with Theo Randall, one of the UK’s most celebrated chefs.
