We've eaten here several times now including Sunday lunch and Valentine's Day and can't fault anything. The food is delicious and you can tell it's all homemade and the owners and staff are really friendly and can't do enough to help. We like the place so much that we held my daughters 21st here and the entire night was amazing. There was a fantastic spread and a DJ on and everyone had a brilliant time. I would recommend giving this place a try.

Bright and modern, PizzaExpress Castleford (Xscape) offers an exciting reinvention of Italian classics. A vibrant menu includes wholesome Romana-style pizzas with adventurous topping combinations, as well as fresh salads, an impressive range behind the ba

Will never set foot in any Pizza Express ever again after the absolutely appalling service we received today from the chef and so called manager.Rude , aggressive and down right ignorant. Chef refused to make the polenta chips vegan and the manager came over so aggressive he embarrassed himself and us. Shouting at customers shows his lack of management skills. Clearly vegans are not welcome here so we will not bother you with our custom anymore at this restaurant or any other.

Based in the fabulous Xscape Centre in Castleford with its snow slope, rock climbing, cinema and bowling alley amongst others, Bella Italia is the perfect restaurant for a spot of Italian grub. With an affordable menu offering some great dishes, visitors

Went for tea to use our voucher code and save money. Wish we hadn't bothered.Quickly seated then left for ages until someone came to take our order. Waited ages for drinks to arrive. After waiting a while for our food, the waitress came to say they had run out of something so we had to reorder and wait again.When my risotto arrived it was a grey, lumpy, tasteless mess and had clearly been left under the heated lights a while as the piece of chicken on the top was dry and chewy. The garlic bread was okay.Will not be going again. Do not recommend.

We came last friday night before a cinema trip, as we havent been in a while and thought we would treat ourselves. We were seated quickly even tho they were quite bust and had plenty of booking coming in. We ordered a cocktail and coke to start and these came quick. We then ordered meals, a cajun chicken wrap, steak medium rare and a garlic bread pizza. This is when it went down hill a little. I was facing the kitchen and watched as the wrap was placed under the lights and was left and left and left a little longer. Then the steak was placed there and was again left, for about 10 mins in total, they were waiting for the garlic bread. They brought the food out with out the garlic bread but unfortunately I had to send the wrap back as it was freezing cold, like I expected. The steak was ok tho and then the garlic bread turned up before the new wrap did. When the wrap did come back it was amazing, boiling hot perfectly cooked, just beautiful. Worth the wait I suppose but would have liked to have it the first time. We enjoyed our meals and asked for the bill, we were happy to see they had taken the wrap off the bill and an extra discount too. We didnt expect that at all and it was lovely customer service. We will be back mistakes happen and they rectified it and more.

Some friends recommended La Anchor, and we weren't disappointed! The owners was so helpful and friendly, there was a good selection of pizza and fresh pasta and specials. Be warned, the portions are huge, but you can take any you can't manage home :-) The staff were so attentive but not at all intrusive. A great place which is fully booked every night, with good reason. Can't wait to go back! So pleased to hear your friends recommend La Anchor and clearly you all had a great time and enjoyed our food and many thanks for taking the time to share a lovely review, see you again soon...All the Beat - The La Anchor Team.

ASK Italian in Castleford is a place for great food and warm service. Think fresh bread made to tear and share. A glass of fine wine worth deserving of your time. Delicious main dishes prepared the traditional way. Everything we know and love about Italia

We booked this restaurant on Sunday afternoon. It was my 1st time in Ask Italian. I am normally trying to avoid chain restaurants, but because we pre-booked cinema in Xcape, we decided to try this one. The place was quite busy and noisy, but probably this is what we should expect in such big leisure centre.Staff was attentive and very friendly, we did not wait too long for our meal. Unfortunately food was disappointing and poor quality. I ordered seafood pasta and it was less than average. Firstly, the pasta was overcooked, it wasn't al dente at all. Seafood consisted of few mussels, few empty clams shells and 1 (one!) calamari ring. No prawns at all. Also I had an impression, the dish was heated in microwave, it was very hot on the top, and cold inside, tomato sauce was dried up on the edges of the dish.I think it was the worst pasta I ever had in any restaurant. Big, big disappointment and I left the restaurant hungry.

Not been for years but still has a good reputation in town. Old school decor, loud and lively Italian atmosphere just right for a Saturday night. Extensive menu. Good prompt friendly service but not rushed. Good quality food, good portions, value for money. What's not to love.
