Dome Dining Near Cambridge | Private Heated Domes at Bamboo Sky

What Is Dome Dining?

Imagine sitting down to a beautifully prepared Thai meal inside your own private pod, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights, with your favourite music playing softly through Bluetooth speakers, while the Cambridgeshire countryside stretches out around you. That’s dome dining at Bamboo Sky.

Our dining domes have become one of the most sought-after dining experiences near Cambridge — and once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why. They combine the romance of outdoor dining with the comfort of a heated, enclosed space, creating something that feels intimate, magical, and completely unlike eating anywhere else.

Seven Domes, Each One Special

We have seven private dining domes scattered across our beautifully landscaped grounds, each one offering its own perspective on the garden, the fairy-lit trees, and the countryside beyond.

Every dome comes equipped with:

Dyson heaters — powerful, efficient, and whisper-quiet, so you stay warm and comfortable regardless of the weather. Dome dining at Bamboo Sky is genuinely a year-round experience.
Fairy lights — draped inside and around each dome, creating a warm, amber glow that makes every evening feel like a celebration.
Bluetooth speakers — connect your phone and play your own playlist. It’s your space, your music, your evening.
Comfortable seating — designed for lingering. These aren’t chairs you rush through a meal in.

The domes are positioned to feel private and secluded, even when the restaurant is busy. Once you’re inside, it’s just you, your guests, and the food.

The Diamond Dome: For Bigger Celebrations

For larger groups, our Diamond Dome is something truly special. This super-sized dome seats up to 14 guests and offers the same fairy-lit, heated experience as our standard domes — but on a grander scale.

It’s the perfect choice for:

Birthday dinners where you want the whole group together
Family celebrations and milestone events
Hen and stag gatherings looking for something unique
Corporate team dinners that need to impress
Friendsgivings and group catch-ups

The Diamond Dome books up fast, especially on weekends, so we’d recommend securing your date as early as possible.

What to Expect on the Night

Booking a dome at Bamboo Sky is simple, but the experience itself is layered and memorable. Here’s what a typical dome dining evening looks like:

Arrival — you’re welcomed by our team and shown to your dome, already glowing with fairy lights and warmed by the Dyson heaters. In cooler months, the contrast between the crisp evening air and the warmth of your dome is genuinely lovely.

Settling in — connect your phone to the Bluetooth speaker, choose your soundtrack for the evening, and take a moment to enjoy the setting. This is the part where most people reach for their camera.

Ordering — our full Thai menu is available in the domes, so you have the same incredible range of dishes as you would dining in the restaurant. Our team will come to your dome to take your order and will be on hand throughout the evening.

Dining — courses arrive at your dome, and you eat at your own pace. There’s no rush. The beauty of dome dining is that you set the tempo — it’s your private space for the evening.

Drinks — our full drinks menu is available too, including botanical cocktails, boba teas, wines, and craft beers. Many guests find that a dome evening pairs perfectly with a bottle of something special.

Lingering — some of the best dome evenings are the ones that go long. After dessert, after the last cocktail, just sitting in the glow of the fairy lights and talking. The domes invite that kind of evening.

When to Book a Dome

The honest answer is: any time. But some occasions feel particularly suited to dome dining:

Romantic Date Nights

A dome for two is one of the most romantic dining experiences you’ll find near Cambridge. The privacy, the lighting, the setting — it’s purpose-built for couples who want an evening that feels special without being stuffy or formal.

Anniversaries and Birthdays

There’s something about stepping into a dome that says “this isn’t an ordinary night.” For milestone celebrations, the domes provide a ready-made atmosphere that requires no additional decorating or planning.

Winter Dining

This is when the domes truly come into their own. Dining outdoors in the English winter sounds mad — until you’re sitting in a heated dome with fairy lights twinkling against the dark sky, warm and comfortable while the frost settles outside. It’s arguably the best time to experience them.

Summer Evenings

In warmer months, the domes offer a different kind of magic. The garden is lush, the evenings are long, and the transition from daylight to fairy-lit dusk is beautiful from inside a dome.

Group Gatherings

With the Diamond Dome seating up to 14, dome dining works brilliantly for groups who want privacy and their own space without hiring out an entire venue.

Dome Dining Tips

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Book early for weekends — Friday and Saturday dome slots are our most popular and tend to fill up well in advance, particularly during the festive season and summer months.
Let us know about special occasions — if you’re celebrating something, tell us when you book. We love helping to make evenings extra special.
Explore the full menu — the domes are perfect for sharing platters and multi-course meals. Take your time and try something new.
Dress for the walk — while the domes themselves are heated, you’ll walk through the garden to reach them. In winter, a coat for the short walk is a good idea.
Bring your playlist — the Bluetooth speakers are there for you. A good soundtrack elevates the whole evening.

More Than a Meal

Dome dining at Bamboo Sky isn’t just about the food — although the food is exceptional. It’s about the feeling. The glow of the fairy lights. The sound of your favourite song playing softly. The warmth of the heater on a cold evening. The privacy to laugh loudly, talk openly, and stay as long as you like.

It’s an experience — and one that keeps our guests coming back, season after season.
