Ask Pizza & Pasta Restaurant (Canterbury)

It's not often I do reviews for Restaurants. I find it quite hard to wax eloquently, or even just make things up about what is basically a method of emptying your wallet in return for serving you something you could probably manage yourself if you weren't too lazy to cook, or have been nagged into visiting just because your partner's friend went last month and said it was really good, and we never go out enough do we.... Ask - part of the same chain as Pizza Express - is basically a bit like Pizza Express. They sell fewer Pizzas and more Pasta - but you're really just paying for the same semi-authentic Italian food, complete with oversized pepper grinders, the ...  Read the complete review

A couple of weeks ago, I went with my new fella to the cinema and then we drove to Canterbury for a meal. Not having clue where we wanted to go we wandered the high street (well, I tottered, with heels getting stuck in the cobbles) until we came across ASK.

I visited Ask in Fleet and I found the service very good and the staff happy and helpful. I ordered pasta in mushroom sauce and it looked delicious until I found a long sizzled hair in it, which put me off but I took the hair out and the food which was around the hair and ate the rest which was lovely and very filling. I am sure if I had complained they would have given me a new meal but I didnt want to wait as we were in a rush.
