The Department of Hospitality, Catering and Tourism welcomes guests to The Dome restaurant. A stunning venue built by John Carr of York in 1779, The Dome now forms the centrepiece of Derby University’s Devonshire Campus. Situated in the heart of Buxton and just two minutes’ walk from Buxton rail station, The Dome is a popular, and iconic, venue for residents, students and visitors alike to visit.
The Dome is a unique concept that sees degree calibre catering and hospitality students exercise their passion for good food under the watchful eyes of their tutors and lecturers, all of whom have many years’ experience working front of house and as Chefs. As guests enter The Dome through the imposing main entrance, they are able to marvel at the sheer scare of the building and the complexity of the architecture before heading up to the balcony café area and through into The Dome dining room. The main restaurant offers a contemporary and chic space to enjoy a meal. With blue carpets, pristine white table cloths and eye-catching flower arrangements, it provides a formal dining experience that guests can savour.
The young and determined talent that resides in The Dome’s kitchen creates modern British dishes that are packed with flavour and presented beautifully. You can expect to find dishes such as Tuna Carpaccio to start followed by roast supreme and confit leg of guinea fowl with lentil du pay, and freshly prepared pastries for dessert. The students have a real passion for food and this shines through in every dish and who knows, in a few years’ time you could be dining at their own restaurant. The cuisine on offer is exceptional value for money and combined with the stunning historical venue, you have a complete steal.
The Dome is perfect for those looking for exceptional British cuisine served in a beautiful building that forms part of the heritage of Buxton. Ideal for large groups as well as couples, The Dome restaurant at the Devonshire Campus, Buxton, will provide a memorable meal whatever the occasion.
