Ask Pizza & Pasta Restaurant (Canterbury) Restaurant / Cafe National

Newest Review: ... Canterbury restaurant on the High Street was by far the worst experience ever. The waiter was very busy and rude. If we needed a menu or to order we had to go to the bar. We were told they were busy and we may have to wait 20 minutes, then they said it will be 30 minutes and even if we were happy with that they finally started saying they do not have what we wanted to order. They were really not interested in having more clients at that time as they said they were busy although only one table occupied in courtyard and few inside. We finally decided not to order and leave. On our way out we complained and the waiter told us ironically "... more

We usually go to Ask restaurant and we always thought the service and food was good but our yesterdays experience in Canterbury restaurant on the High Street was by far the worst experience ever.

Ask pizza restaurant is part of the chain that owns Zizzi and Prezzo and on the internet they are always offering out vouchers for mid week meals. That with the combined fact that with a chain you know what you are going to eat, means I often end up eating here. Ask is located towards the bottom of Canterbury high street near the river. It is in a beautiful location. The front is on the high street, and the side to the river. There is also a lovely garden which you can sit in. The building is very old and beautifully decorated with modern art prints. The light is low and ambient, in the evenings the main light comes from plenty of scattered candles. The ...  Read the complete review

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

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. The food was delivered quickly and we were asked twice if everything was alright and did we need anymore drinks. The visit was on a weekday evening so it was not very busy and everywhere was clean. I ...  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. The first ASK restaurant was opened in 1993 in Belsize Park, London. The owners opened the first restaurant together because they felt there was a gap in the market for quality pizza and pasta, and I guess they were right- since then over 180 restaurants have been opened across the UK (Pizza Express and Zizzi's are part of the same group). This particular branch is next to a canal and alongside ...  Read the complete review
