Ascough’s Bistro Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Very poor experience on the 25th Nov . The place needs a lock of paint, scuffed canteen style tables. I ordered the Burrata to start , frankly it was a joke , not a delicious creamy ball of mozzarella but a piece of white skin off the cheese pulled over the tomatoes . Such a disappointment. Main course , the wonder that is monk fish , sadly not this time ! So over cooked , deep fried in a breaded coating and a texture like rubber . What a waste of a brilliant fish . No second drink offered either.. what a let down , two courses done in 45 mins! Crazy fast , would never go back"
