I booked the evening as a treat for a few friends to celebrate a taste of freedom after the Covid pandemic. Was extremely disappointed by the dome which lacked any form of atmosphere or a suggestion of luxury. The menu was not the same as the one which had been promoted but much more limited. We made our choices but none of us were impressed by the food nor the dome. Unfortunately the experience fell well below expectation so my advice would be Avoid.

Very average. Cheap plastic tent like domes. Table & chairs looked like they’d been pulled out of a school canteen. Average food. Very limited drinks menu. Service was fine.

We came for lunch in the domes on the terrace. Lovely setting, excellent service and tasty meat options. However, one of our party was vegan. There was only one option on the menu, which contained nuts. Please can you consider more variety (with the option of nut free) for your vegan diners. The house white was also a little tart. Many thanks
