Can't decide where to go so you can enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch without feeling that you're in the way? My website will hopefully help with that decision. I review coffee shops and restaurants and anywhere else I think parents might be interested in.

Each coffee shop/cafe/restaurant will be marked on the following.
1. Access in and around the premises with a pushchair.
2. Do you feel welcome? Is the staff helpful?
3. Cleanliness of baby changing facilities.
4. High chairs and other children’s facilities (i.e. play area)
5. Coffee & Cakes, children’s menu and price.

Ask Restaurant - Salisbury

During my maternity leave my husband and I have visited Ask restaurant a few times, mostly due to buy 1 get 1 free vouchers so it has been good value.
When Henry was little we could visit the restaurant and leave Henry in his pram sleeping as there is plenty of room between the tables for the push chairs.
Now that Henry is sitting in a high chair we still enjoy our visits. When we first asked for Henry's food to be warmed the staff happily took the container to be micro-waved, but on a recent visit their polices have changed and can only warm food in hot water behind in the kitchen.
The staff are all very nice and helpful and always make you feel welcome no matter how many babies are in your group. The baby changing facilites are very clean and roomy.



Even without vouchers I would recommend a visit to the restaurant to all families with babies or young children. Older children are given crayons and an activity sheet, the children's menu looks very appetising.

Over all I give Ask Restuarant 4* out of a possible 5
Access:
Although the front door is relatively narrow the staff are always on hand to open the door to welcome you in. Getting to your selected table is easy as there is plenty of room between the tables.
Welcome: Great.
Cleanliness: The tables are always clean and the changing facilities are of a high standard.
High Chairs: Very good and great design to get close to the table so that they feel part of the group.
Coffee & Cake: I have not actually tried the coffee or dessert at the restaurant as yet.

    Henry and I recently went back to Ask for lunch with our friends Therese and Lily. The service was very nice as usual, food was great. Great place to take babies and young children, the staff never make you feel unwelcome.

  2. Not enough waiting staff today so our experience was not as nice as usual.
    Today I would have to give Ask 2 out of a possible 5*.
