ASK Italian - Horsham

confidence 75% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

There is a dedicated 'Non-Gluten Dishes' section on the menu with a solid range of options: non-gluten fusilli Bolognese and Lentil Ragu, non-gluten pizzas (Margherita, Primavera, Stromboli, Salami Misti, Truffle Funghi, Pollo Coppa e Funghi, Fiery Trio di Carne, and vegan versions of several), and a Non-Gluten Frutti di Mare. A Non Gluten Vegan Happy Face Pizza also appears on the kids' menu. The bar stocks a gluten-free Peroni. That said, this is a shared kitchen producing wheat-based pasta and stone-baked bread and pizza throughout. The venue uses the term 'non-gluten' rather than certified 'gluten-free', and cross-contamination risk is real. Always tell your server about coeliac disease before ordering and ask to see the full estate allergen guide, which the restaurant holds.

Vegan dishes are labelled individually throughout the menu and the range is genuinely wide. Starters include Italian Olives, Garlic Bread, Vegan Garlic Bread with MozzaRisella, Vegan Spicy Tomato Dough Bites, Vegan Pesto & Cheese Dough Bites, Rosemary & Olive Oil Bread, and Vegan Bruschetta Pizzetta. Main options include Vegan Margherita and Vegan Primavera (plus non-gluten versions of both), Pomodoro Pesto pizza, Vegan Spaghetti Al Pomodoro, Vegan Fettuccine Lentil Ragu, and the Artichoke Garden Grain Bowl. Vegan sides (Seasoned Roast Potatoes, Balsamic Glazed Greens, Side Salad) and vegan desserts (Sticky Coffee Pudding, Caramello Chocolate Torta) round things out, alongside a range of vegan drinks. The kitchen is shared with meat and dairy, so cross-contamination is possible.

Dairy-free eating is achievable through the vegan range, which is clearly labelled on individual dishes. Vegan dishes substitute MozzaRisella for dairy mozzarella and avoid all dairy, covering starters, multiple pizza and pasta mains (including non-gluten versions), sides, desserts, and drinks. The wider menu is dairy-intensive — mozzarella, mascarpone, burrata, pecorino, and cream appear throughout — so shared-kitchen cross-contamination is a genuine risk. Use the vegan label as your guide; for any dish that isn't explicitly vegan, check with staff.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Shellfish features prominently across the menu: king prawns in the ASK Favourites Sharer starter and King Prawn Al Forno, the Garlic King Prawn Tagliatelle, and Linguine con Frutti di Mare (prawns, mussels, clams, crayfish). A non-gluten seafood pasta is also available. Squid (calamari) appears as a starter. The restaurant holds a full allergen guide and asks diners to inform staff about allergies before ordering. No shellfish-free protocol or dedicated equipment is mentioned. If shellfish is a serious allergy, inform staff on arrival and ask to check the allergen guide before choosing.
