Quick info
About The Dome
The Dome is a restaurant on High Street in Christchurch, set beneath high ceilings and arranged around a mezzanine dining area that overlooks the main floor. Dogs are welcome inside, so four-legged companions can join at the table. The mezzanine level is open to guests throughout service and is suited to groups who want a slightly raised vantage point over the room. The space keeps a straightforward restaurant format, with the dining room and its upper level working together as one setting.

Customer Review Summary
Diners return for the consistently high quality, fresh food and relaxed atmosphere, with several singles out the excellent meals alongside a welcoming vibe for groups, including those with dogs. The staff draw repeated praise for being lovely and attentive. One group on the mezzanine found drinks service a little slow due to a staff shortage, though the food still impressed, and a dog was made welcome. Many plan to return.

“Having heard mixed reviews about service we were a group of 6 on the mezzanine. Service was very good as was the food. Wine also reasonably value. We all enjoyed the evening and will return. Would recommend. Thank you.”
- Deborah Kempshall
“Food was really fresh, tasty and presented well. The staff were lovely and there was a relaxed atmosphere. Will recommend to family and friends”
- Lesley King
“I discovered the Dome over the last 7 days. Once for lunch with my daughter and once for dinner with my husband. I am surprised at the slightly expensive comment because we found it very good value compared to other restaurants between Christchurch, Mudeford, Highcliffe and the New Forest. Lunch was considerably less than dinner. I even had a top of the range double gin and tonic. The menu gave a wide choice across the different cuisines so most palates could be satisfied. We will be going again.”
