Definitely be coming again
I didn’t recall seeing anywhere ref pizzas not being available
in the week however when we asked for a child’s menu option to be made into
adults it was no problem at all. Lovely staff and great atmosphere.
Ambience was better than expected
The Ambience was better than expected, service was really good
and food excellent. Would recommend
Some minor issues
Unfortunately on the Sunday we went the restaurant had run out
of beef and some side dishes. Ran out of bitter on the tap and were selling
33cl tins of IPA for £5 – they did amend the bill though. And apart from
forgetting one of our starters and a main course side dish it was a very
nice lunch. The pod set up they have created is ideal for families or small
groups of friends.
Excellent overall
The food was generally excellent, though the truffle Mac and
cheese was under seasoned.
We enjoyed ourselves
We really enjoyed the dinner at dome. The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff smiling and very attentive, the food was very good. Thank you! Anna & Chris
Pods worked brilliantly
So lovely to be able to finally go out for dinner! Pods worked brilliantly. A great evening
Well done
We had a lovely birthday evening with excellent service and menu.
We will be visiting again
I booked as part of my husband’s 50th birthday celebrations after having seen some photos on social media. We didn’t know what to expect but we’re very pleasantly surprised by the wonderfully atmospheric and romantic ambience, the excellent menu and the quality of the food. We will definitely be visiting again as all the staff were so lovely and helpful, friendly and kind.
Fabulous dining
Amazing experience, and such a nice way to dine outdoors!
Will arrange another visit
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will certainly arrange another visit
Excellent
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the warm dome – food and service was excellent
A magical evening, thank you all
I took my partner here last night for a belated birthday meal in a dome. It’s an absolutely beautiful place, well laid out and a bit quirky. The domes are lit and heated so even after the sun set it was still cosy.
Our food was stunning – every course was perfectly cooked and presented and felt like a real treat. For me it was the staff that made it extra special. It was pretty busy last night and they have a large outside space to cover, but we were so well looked after all evening. Everyone was upbeat, friendly and welcoming. One lovely lady even offered to take our picture which especially considering how busy they were, was above and beyond and so thoughtful.
Thanks to all for a wonderful evening, we will definitely be back.
Very impressed
The food was delicious paired with a range of lovely cocktails. Particularly enjoyed the ambience, the sun was shining and the dome was comfortable and cosy throughout the evening. The service was amazing, the team was very attentive to any requests and food was served within a short space of time. Very impressed – would recommend for a romantic evening or a family dinner! Everyone enjoyed their evening.
Amazing experience
The Dome made all the difference – there was no wind chill,
more privacy and superb Covid-awareness.
Amazing birthday
It was my first time there and we were celebrating one of my daughters belaed birthday, it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Thank you
Really enjoyed our visit to dineatthedome.
The service was extremely good. After returning the burger as it was underdone and cold, 2nd one was delicious and other dishes were beautiful too. Thanks for a lovely meal. Perhaps a little background music would be nice.
Great experience!
Wonderful (vegan) meal at The Willow Tree in garden dome, great
service and great experience!
Well done
Lovely perfect under very difficult circumstances
Well done
We will be back
A brilliant and unforgettable experience. Everything was excellent, including a sunny day, for our Sunday lunch dome experience. Thanks to all the staff at the Willow for allowing it to happen. We will be back.
Enjoyed our evening
Food was amazing, staff were lovely and polite. Very relaxed too! We really enjoyed our evening
A real treat!!
Very good all did well to make it lovely.
A real treat!!
Will definitely come back
Very well done to build and services the ‘Dome’ in such difficult circumstances. Will definitely come back. Many thanks
Great experience
We had a lovely night at the willow tree. I had hired a dome
for my partners 30th birthday. Service was great and the dome was
beautiful. The only complaint I have was that myself and my partner ordered
the lobster and crayfish pasta and it was literally just a bowl of pasta. I
know lobster is expensive however I found two tiny bits of lobster and a
few little bits of crayfish. We were both disappointed with it considering
it was £28. Other than this the whole experience with great
We can't wait to go back.
We went for lunch in one of the domes, our waitress (Racheal) I think her name was, she was very friendly attentive and very sweet. The food was amazing. We can’t wait to go back.
Recommend
We were celebrating a birthday and wanted to try somewhere
different. The Willow Tree certainly didn’t disappoint. Will definitely
visit again and certainly recommend to friends and family. Thanks very much
for a great evening.
Great service
The food was expensive for what we received but the actual
service and ambiance was amazing!!
Special birthday
We were celebrating a special birthday and enjoyed the Dome very much. We then moved into the bar. Everything felt very safe. All staff we had contact with were lovely. My only reservations are that the afternoon tea is expensive for what you get, compared with other establishments, and the gluten free afternoon tea was let down by huge slabs of sandwiches and olives and cucumber in place of sausage roll (GF sausage rolls arent hard to make or buy in!) But overall, would reccommend to friends.
Looking forward to our next visit
We really enjoyed our evening at The Willow Tree in the Igloo and looking forward to our next visit.
Brilliant
Brilliant service and great experience in the dining domes. Would highly recommend.
Lovely Experience
We had a lovely afternoon tea in a dome for my mother’s birthday. All in all a lovely experience.
Worth the wait
We booked the dome. We had a long wait for our food but as an apology our drinks were taken off our bill. The food was incredible and definitely worth the wait.
It was a great experience
We dined in one of the domes for a wedding anniversary meal, as we have a vulnerable baby at home so wanted to be extra safe. The dome was very warm and we felt so safe and away from everyone else. The waitress only came in the dome to take our orders and was out again. They are aired out between guests and wiped down from the inside too. The food and service was excellent too. We had lunch there. The pizza was delicious. We got 3 starters as I read the portion sizes were small. However, this was not the case. The pork starter is pretty decent so by the time my pizza arrived I could only manage 2 slices and took the rest to go. I was also able to order dessert to go. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend it.
Lovely anniversary
Really loved the idea of having dinner in a dome, it was our wedding anniversary and I wanted something different and it certainly was, great service and lovely food, thank you
A brilliant evening
A brilliant evening. Loved the dome. Excellent service, excellent food. We’ll be back soon.
Excellent experience
Everything was excellent from the greeting to the service and food and the wonderful ambience of the dome experience. First rate job!
We had a very special night
We had a very special night celebrating my daughters birthday – I think was a magical setting with delicious food – thank you Willow tree , we will be back x
Thank you for a wonderful lunch
We used the Dome dinning and really enjoyed the experience and food. Everyone found something they liked and I will go again , maybe in the evening this time.
High recommend!
The pods are such an amazing idea. We will be back, especially now you have added heating!! Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food!
Lovely!
Loved our experience in the dome. Staff all very friendly. Burger tasty.
Not long enough
My only point is that the time allocation slot was not long
enough. We were rushed at the end to vacate dome. When I booked it was two
and half hours I believe.
Great place
Lovely place, evenings are very nice with the lights. The staff was great.
Overall it’s a lovely experience
It’s a really nice idea to have the domes and the staff were
really friendly. I think the process from being shown to the dome to having
to awkwardly open the zip doors could do with some tweaking. Lights down
the dark path would help, perhaps sealed, covered trays for the food to
keep it warm and secure. Just a couple of things to make it more relaxing.
Food was nice and the kid’s meals were great.
We celebrated my mums 60th in one of the domes. It was a lovely and unique experience. My husband and brother felt the portion sizes could have been bigger as they both still felt hungry after their main (one had chicken roast and the other burger and chips) but the food was tasty.
Covid guidelines were very robust with staff wearing masks and gloves and cleaning surfaces regularly.
👍
A lovely afternoon tea dining in a dome. Thank you.
Great and different experience eating in the dome. I enjoyed it.
Recommended both for lunches and evenings
Amazing service, they went above and beyond for us for the dome dining afternoon tea, which could was delicious so would definitely recommend. The domes were lovely even for a lunch in the daytime!
Unbelievable experience!
I took my Grandma for lunch in one of the domes as it seemed like such a new and unbelievable experience! The wait staff were amazing! We had a few tend to us and they all greeted us with the loveliest attitudes! Everyone is so welcoming and it’s such a lovely environment!
Amazing food
Super food experience In a magical setting
Big shout out to Oliver dome boy who looked After us. Pork belly starter was so good we had it twice
Great for small baby showers
Had an amazing evening for my friends small baby shower in one of the domes. Service was excellent, food was lovely and felt very well looked after. Thank you willow tree!
Great 30th birthday
So impressed with the Willow Tree. Food was amazing and loved spending my 30th in the dome. Also impressed with the cleanliness and their safe process of ensuring we felt safe using social distancing measures
Fun time
The food was excellent! We booked a dome, which is a fantastic experience. It was cold outside and warm inside (wine probably also helped). We had a great time!
Excellent experience
What an awesome experience,with great food and excellent service.
Looking forward to our next visit.
Amazing evening
So impressed with the dine in a dome evening I had with my boyfriend recently! All the staff at the Willow Tree were so welcoming, polite and happy to help with absolutely anything. They really made our night and experience one to remember! Thanks so much x
The perfect place for a celebration or a romantic dinner
I decided to book the dome for my friends 40th and I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed. The domes were beautiful at night, they lit up and it was lovely. The service was brilliant, the waiters all had masks and they never once entered the dome due to covid – 19. The food was really good and we all had the best time. The perfect place for a celebration or a romantic dinner. Will definitely be booking again.
