    We have dined at Ascoughs on a number of a occasions, and…read morealways found the food to be of high quality and excellent value for money. They are let down only by a lack of attention to the niceties. We had booked for 7:45 and had that confirmed by telephone. We arrived at 7:44, to be told that we were booked in for 8:00. We were shown to our table and ordered pre-dinner drinks, which took ten minutes to arrive. We were not offered "intros" to accompany them, and were left on our own for a further quarter of an hour before anyone came to take our order. The wine came almost immediately and was opened even though we were still drinking the pre-dinner drinks. The diners at the next table were heard to complain about a 25-minute wait, and on the other side a chipped plate had to be sent for exchange. When the food came it was of the usual high standard, but for some reason, although the waiters attentively removed empty plates, they ignored the empty drinks glasses, which were only removed when asked, at the end of the main course. It's a shame that such simple things turned a splendid experience into simply a pleasant one. Here's hoping they pick up on this and earn their fifth star.

    I had lunch here recently - 3 courses for £9 - but book a couple of weeks in advance because this…read moreplace is busy! The menu is interesting, and the skill of the chef is readily apparent - in everything from the choice of dish, the quality of the produce, the presentation, and of course the cooking! I would say, in general, you'd be hard pushed to find better quality food in the area. I have only a couple of qualms. Firstly my dessert was, frankly, quite disgusting - it was a treacle tart with no sweetness, just sickliness, and the pastry was stale. Not Good. Secondly the staff, though professional, seemed somehow world weary and without personality. They need someone there to inject some life into the atmosphere. Still - my first course of potted shredded duck, with a lovely creamy horseradish, bread, salad and pickles was muchos tasty! My main of sea bass with cauliflower mash worked very well also. To give you an idea of sorts of wide ranging foods you can expect - the soup of the day was borsch! =) Anyway I'd definitely go to Ascough's again. Their style is to serve smaller portions - but at an excellent price, and allow people to experience excellent cuisine without breaking the bank. It works really well, and it's no surprise this place is always packed.
