New Italian eatery set to open at retail development

ASK Italian is the latest addition to the new restaurants which will be located at Stratford’s Bell Court leisure and retail development.

Known for its stone baked pizzas and traditional Italian flavours, ASK Italian will occupy one of the most sought-after units at the development - occupying a 120-seat restaurant, with additional outdoor seat- ing, overlooking the main square at Bell Court.

The popular chain, which will open later this year, will join other well-known eateries at Bell Court, including Nando’s, Byron, Miller and Carter and All Bar One, as well as smaller outlets such as Italian wine café, Veeno.

Bell Court will also be home to a number of independent traders, including new florist Bardia’s and The Nail Dressers beauticians.

John Stacey, asset management director at UK & European Investments, said: “I am very pleased to confirm that ASK Italian will be coming to Bell Court to complement the fantastic range of restaurants, bars, retailers and leisure operators that have already signed up to the development.

“Having exchanged contracts, we expect to hand over the unit to ASK in July so they can fit out the restaurant and potentially open in September.”

Bell Court comprises over 70,000 sq ft of retail, restaurant and leisure space.

It is a joint venture between UK & European Investments, Stratford District Council and Stratford Town Trust.
