Private Pod Dining

​​

Dine under the stars. Your own private dome, deep in the Nottinghamshire countryside.

---

Some evenings deserve something a little more special. At Ye Olde Bridge Inn, our three private outdoor dining domes offer an experience unlike anything else — your own beautifully lit, heated, fully enclosed space in the heart of our countryside garden, with great food, great drinks, and nothing to interrupt the occasion.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, marking an anniversary, planning a date night to remember, or simply gathering the people who matter most, the domes make every moment feel like an event.

WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR DOME
---

Each dome is a world of its own. From the moment you step inside, everything has been thought of.

Fairy lights & atmosphere

Warm, flattering fairy light throughout — no harsh overhead lighting, just the kind of glow that makes every occasion feel like a celebration.

​

Your own heating
Our domes are fitted with Delonghi heaters, so you can enjoy private outdoor dining all year round even on the coldest Nottinghamshire nights.

​

Bluetooth speaker & your playlist
Connect your phone and set the soundtrack for your evening. Your music, your mood, your night.

 

Waiter call button
No need to crane your neck looking for a member of staff. A dedicated call button means attentive, discreet service exactly when you want it.

 

Fully private
Each dome is booked exclusively for your group — no sharing, no strangers at the next table. Just your party, your space, your evening.

 

Seats up to 8 or up to 14 guests
Intimate enough for two, spacious enough for a group of eight or choose our XL Dome for tables up to 14. Perfect for couples, small families and groups of friends.

BOOKING YOUR DOME
---

The domes are available to book in advance and are subject to availability. A dome hire fee applies at the time of booking, which secures your private space for the evening.

We recommend booking early — the domes are our most popular seats in the house and go quickly, especially at weekends and around bank holidays.
