Visiting as two adults and two children, we’d booked ahead for lunch and were seated quickly, helped by arriving near the start of service when the restaurant still possessed that brief, hopeful calm before everybody else appears and begins requesting things.
Drinks were taken and delivered promptly, but our food order took a little longer as the restaurant filled and the relatively small number of staff were suddenly required to be in several places at once. Once ordered, the food arrived fairly quickly and was eaten happily, although it didn’t quite have the same flavours or sparkle as some previous visits.
Paying involved another modest period of watching busy staff hurry past with increasingly purposeful expressions. Nobody was rude and the team were clearly working hard; there simply weren’t quite enough of them for the number of customers arriving.
Not a bad meal by any means, just one where the food did its job rather better than the overall experience.

ASK at Xscape Yorkshire in Castleford is in a good location, right off the motorway. I visited here for dinner and was able to get a reservation with short notice on a busy Tuesday evening, which I appreciated.
The staff were friendly, although I do think they were short-staffed. I was waiting at the host stand for several minutes before being acknowledged, and then longer without being seated. I found the area to be unsuitable for waiting, as it was quite narrow and I felt like I was getting in the way here.
The overall interior is modern, welcoming and comfortable; it gives a modern chain Italian vibe in a good way.
I ordered two main dishes today to make the most of my Tastecard discounts. While I’d like to see some more offers aimed at solo diners in the future, I was pleased that the staff let me take advantage of this offer by myself. I went for the Salami Misti Pizza and Mushroom Risotto with Chicken. I felt my allergy was taken care of; both dishes were marked with gluten-free stickers, and a special stand was brought over to my table when I was originally seated, which alerted the team that I have an allergy.
The pizza was my favourite of the two dishes - it looked and tasted really good; the flavour of the onions and the meats was great. I originally planned to just have a slice with my risotto and take the rest home, but I kept wanting more; it was so good! I was slightly disappointed with my risotto, on the other hand; while it had nice flavours, the rice did taste a little dry (it needed more of the broth!), and I found the chicken a little tough.
I had a nice time here, and it would be somewhere I would return in the future.

We had a lovely time and the food was brilliant. Liv was so lovely, she overheard that it was my daughter's birthday, brought her some ice-cream with a candle and sang happy birthday.
