Ask Italian Beckenham

Five of us came here for a family lunch on Thursday. Make a reservation as it can get busy. Service was very friendly and nice. Music was a little too loud for my taste and unfortunately our family was sat underneath the speaker. They did offer to move us but my 91 year old Mum didn’t care to move! Food was good although it could have been a bit hotter, and coffee was great!

We go to ASK in Beckenham every year for our office Christmas lunch. We went yesterday 20 of us, everything was perfect as always. We were looked after so well and the food was absolutely top notch could not be faulted and generous portions. Thank you so much everyone, we all had a fab time!

Had a wonderful experience dining with my family here. The food and ambiance were fantastic! I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again soon when I'm in the area.

A busy night because of a music gig nearby and I expect it caused extra pressure in the kitchen. Our starters arrived at very different times, but with an apology. My partners pasta was divine, as was the garlic bread and beetroot and goat cheese balls with chilli dip. Sadly my main was on a stone cold plate with cold broccoli and a little pot of cold sauce. The ‘roast’ baby potatoes were simply boiled new potatoes which had been flattened on a pan to blacken and burn them. Worst still they definitely tasted of fish, I expect that the same grill/implements were used for both. However the actual chicken Milinase was tender, crisp on the outside and very tasty. We had an issue with dessert. We followed the instructions and used the QR code to book the 2 desserts. To save time I paid the bill and added the tip. Unfortunately this closed our tables account and the kitchen had no record of the order. The app does not give you any chance to get a receipt and I was unable to easily prove we had paid. Except my Apple pay said that £102 had been deducted from my account. Eventually, while we were getting the issue sorted another waiter arrived with the missing desserts. I think the QR code idea is fabulous but it was a bit glitchy tonight.

I had a very lovely time with friends, the food was delicious and the service/the team was just perfect! We were a large group, they set a special place for us to eat all together and we had our food well prepared and served very fast as well. Just what I needed for a memorable moment. I WILL DEFINITLY COME BACK AGAIN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Claudia
