Dining domes set to offer eating experience in Exeter

Striking dining domes have started to appear outside a number of city centre restaurants, giving people a chance to eat out in their own socially-distanced bubble.

Exeter City Council is part-funding the seven domes, which are heated and seat up to eight guests around a table. New government restrictions allow groups of more than six to socialise only when they are from the same household or support bubble.

The idea of the domes came out of the Visitor Economy Recovery Group, which looks to support the hospitality, cultural and heritage sector which has been greatly hit...

A Hidden Slice of Greece!

Opa Restaurant in South Street is just an amazing venue.

Having lived in Naxos in the Cyclades in the past I wanted to have my 65th birthday party somewhere that reminded me of beautiful Greece.

The vast array of starters were so tasty and then the...
