Lively Irish-leaning neighborhood pub with strong Guinness, big sports/music energy, and a broad comfort-food menu at fair pub pricing, though service warmth and late-night noise can be inconsistent.
The Askew delivers solid neighborhood pub performance with strong food quality on core items like burgers and fish and chips, paired with warm, attentive service and quick execution even during crowded matchdays. Consistency dips on roasts and steaks, and while the lively garden and social atmosphere excel for group occasions, the venue functions as a strong local rather than a destination dining establishment. Fair value and genuine vegetarian options round out a competent, unpretentious pub experience.
The Askew is a neighborhood pub that hums with matchday chatter, karaoke singalongs, and clinking pints, with a garden that is bigger than it first looks. Service is often warm and quick even when the bar is three deep, and more than one guest raved, "pints poured right and food arrived fast despite the crowd." Expect lively sports energy, a crowd that skews local with Irish roots, and a space that feels welcoming and social on most nights. In the kitchen, the approach is hearty and classic with a few world touches—think fish and chips, pies, burgers, plus tikka skewers and even a tikka pizza. The culinary approach leans elevated traditional with casual twists: big portions, comfort-first flavors, and reliable staples that pair well with Guinness. Highlights include the burgers and fish and chips; roasts are popular but can be variable, so aim for earlier service on Sundays. Families are well served thanks to a dedicated kids menu (goujons, fish fingers, cheeseburger, tomato pasta) and a roomy garden. The menu genuinely offers vegetarian and vegan options alongside the classics, so groups with mixed diets can eat comfortably. Be mindful that peak match times can be boisterous—visit off-peak for a calmer family meal.
