  1. Great place

    We used the dome for my birthday party. It was 7 people there and it was perfect. It felt very private, we loved the idea of having own playlist on. The dome looked stunning. Inside was a heater so it was warm. Service was very quick and it was easy to order via internal phone. Staff was great!

  2. Amazing 1051 GWR 10/10

  4. Brilliant

    Aidan was fantastic from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone!

  5. I came with my family with 2 young children, anyone with experience will know it can be very stressful keeping kids entertained at a restaurant. As you never want to hinder anyone else’s meal. In the dome it was perfect the staff were so friendly and the kids could get up and move about without bothering anyone else. The food was spot on and well there was no waiting time, you think with being outside you may be forgot about but this was definitely not the case. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend

  6. A fantastic time!

    Dinner at 1051 GWR was absolutely fantastic! The domes are cosy and ambient and the Food itself is perfection! Dinner was served with a dose of Glaswegian humour in the form of James our server who kept the mood light and the drinks flowing. Some might say we had a swimmingly good time! We’ll definitely be back to try the newly recommended meat mountain!

  7. Dome dining

    Good food.
    Slightly pricey. Good service but only given 15 minutes to eat dessert and pay.

  8. lunch in the outside pod

    5 of us spent a lovely afternoon in one of the outside Pods at GWR restaurant. From the lovely , helpful and friendly young serving staff to to owner who looked in on us for a quick chat , everything was soo nice. The Pods are a great idea and the meals mainly the pies with lovely pastry toppings to the large portions of battered fish were top notch, and at a great price.
    . Compliments to all. I have booked again for a Christmas lunch there for my family and hope both the service and quality of food will again be of the same high standard .

    First time using the dome and we really enjoyed it . The staff definitely made our day as they were very helpful and friendly would definitely recommend it .

  16. We hired a some for daughters 21st dinner with friends

    Food was delicious. Thursday is bogof on steak and grills so wee bonus there. The staff were fabulous and put up some banners and balloons in the dome which I had brought earlier in the day. Would definitely recommend .

  17. Fab evening all round!

    Friends and I were in a GWR Dome on Thursday 25th April and we had the most amazing evening. Staff were amazing, so attentive and food was absolutely fantastic!!! Dome was a wonderful experience,, we loved every minute! Can’t recommend GWR highly enough!

  18. Dome

    Had a dome outside which was fab. staff were great too.

  19. 90th birthday party with family

    It all went swimmingly with excellent service. The weather was also very kind and made the dome very pleasant

  20. The food was good, the service was excellent and the dome was very comfortable

  21. A Must-Try Restaurant

    The best restaurant I’ve been to so far. These domes are a super cozy comfortable thing. The service is great.The ribs are insane.

  22. Intimate and Unique Dining Experience

    Perfect experience for a catch up. Your own space, intimate and a little bit different. Comfortable furnishings and pretty decor including our own chandelier. There were 4 of us. Blue toothed our own music and had a call button for the waiter/waitress. We did have to wait a bit longer than expected for our main meal but we didn’t notice for a while because it was so lovely, warm and cosy. We went in when it was daylight and came out when it was dark so had the full effect of the twinkly lighting. Food was tasty, well presented and hot.

  23. Amazing experience, but expensive

    Amazing experience, cannot recommend enough, especially for couples! The food is soo good and the staff are very friendly. £40 Booking fee is very expensive however, especially for a 4pm booking. But it was worth it for a one off experience

  24. Excellent Dinner Experience!

    Staff pleasant , dome was lovely , my daughter loved it . Food was lovely although my turkey slightly dry but still enjoyed our dinner , thx yous

  25. Festive Menu Delightful, Service Needs Improvement

    The dome dining experience itself was cosy and the atmosphere was great. The food from the festive menu was amazing, no complaints here. The service was very slow and a lot of our requests were missed.

  26. We had a Globe booked for a party of
    6. They look so festive. The service was amazing can’t really comment on
    any of the staff as we were served by 4 different team members. There was no
    soup left so I couldn’t have a starter but they did bring bread out which I
    ate. Couldn’t have the Turkey as they cooked it with the stuffing which
    contained nuts so that was a bit of a let down. Everyone else had Turkey and
    said it was delicious. We would definitely book again

  27. Great Food & Excellent Service

    Excellent service, great food & thedomes are lovely, well lit & nice touches such as blankets, certabook again,
    thanks.

  28. Excellent 21st Celebration

    Everything was great for my
    daughters 21st, especially getting an extra cosmopolitan!
    Thanks for letting us bring our own cake and delivering to the dome. Shout
    out to your manager for being super helpful when we were there and on the
    phone, from one Falkirk Bairn to another! Well done!

  29. Birthday Dome

    4 of us spent a Saturday evening for
    a special birthday. The dome was lovely clean and warm, and played our own
    tunes on the speaker.
    One of the starter orders was wrong and had to be changed, I asked for bread
    with mine but didn’t receive it, we were told we would get the dome until
    closing time but then the same server told us an hour later to rush last
    order of drinks as needed to be out soon. Ordered a bottle of wine that had
    run out so received a more expensive bottle, then the bill had the starter
    that was wrong and the bottle of wine not received on it which we had to ask
    to be removed.
    Food was ok but not special
    Overall nice for a special occasion and treat to have your own space.

  30. Excellent service - Good food with a few minor issues

    We hired dome for drinks and
    starters. Excellent service from our very friendly male server(can’t
    remember his name). It worked very well for our party of 10 it would have
    been nice to have dinner but it was just too tight. We had dinner in the snug
    area of the restaurant which was very nice food on the whole was very good
    the steak pie was just a bit tough but everything else was good.

  31. Mixed experience

    The food was good and the ambience
    in the dome was lovely. The vibe inside the dome was the best part of my
    visit.
    However, the service was a bit disappointing. We weren’t seated in the dome
    until 15 – 20 minutes after the reservation time, left waiting at the bar
    which ate into our time in the dome. Waited an hour for main meals, again the
    food was good but I’m not sure if it was worth the wait.
    I would give the domes a second try in the future to give service a chance to
    improve.

  32. Perfection!

    I was very pleased with our birthday
    dinner for my granddaughter. The whole family thought the beautifully
    lit,very warm dome was perfect and all our food was excellent.

  33. 1st class experience

    We hired a dome for our 30th Wedding Anniversary meal with friends on Saturday 21st October. What a great experience. Setting, food and service was amazing. We have Amy as our waiting staff and she was incredible. Lovely manner, nothing we asked was an issue and service was on point. Would definately reccommend.

  34. Very nice ambiance, warm & welcoming
    . But food was very average .

  35. Successful 70th Celebration

    Hired a dome for my dads 70th
    Was able to decorate the inside of the dome , the food was incredible. Staff
    were so friendly . Couldn’t fault it at all will defo be back

  36. Delightful and Worth it!

    The dome was a really lovely way to celebrate our Anniversary. It’s not the cheapest to hire if there’s only 2 using it but worth it for special occasions. The food was absolutely beautiful an the service was fantastic. Will definitely be back

  37. Highly recommend

    We had the best time dining in a Dome for my husbands 50th. We loved the experience and the food was perfect. Would absolutely do it again.

  38. Delightful

    We arrived early and the staff was still setting up. We were made very welcomed and asked to take a seat in the bar area. They offered whatever we wanted to drink. Once the dome was ready, we were then moved to the dome. The staff were very attentive and we have only knocked off 1 star because the call button did not work. The food was fantastic and drinks were reasonable. The margaritas were very refreshing and our entire group of 6 people really enjoyed the experience In the dome with own Bluetooth speaker and lights.

  39. Excellent food as usual. The outside domes give a more relaxed, private and personal dining experience. The staff are very helpful and polite. Look forward to our next visit.

  40. Outstanding Service!

    Fantastic experience for my husbands 50th birthday. Amy our
    server was amazing and so attentive to our needs.

  41. 10/10

    Hired 2 domes for my daughters 40th , absolute amazing
    experience, everyone loved it , will definitely be back 10/10
