OUR MENUS

A La Carte Menu - Wine List

ASHOKA menus are designed to cater for all – a la carte featuring special recipe main dishes to set buffet-style menus served to the table for groups such as business functions and charity fundraising parties.

Plus, ASHOKA stocks a fine wine range and selection of draught and bottled beers including Cobra & Bangla, the strong beer brewed to compliment curry dishes.

Whatever you are looking for, we will be pleased to accommodate. This includes serving English-style dishes those wishing an ASHOKA night out, but without a traditional Asian-style meal.

The same quality food – and many of the same dishes – can also be enjoyed at home as takeaway.

ASHOKA also regularly runs 2 for 1 promotions and reader offers with local newspapers. So keep a look out in the local press to get the best deal going!
