Nottingham Christmas: The quirky Nottingham restaurant where you can dine inside cosy Christmas domes

The glass domes are available to hire each day until January 1

Christmas is in full swing at a popular Nottingham restaurant, which has recently confirmed the return of its iconic festive dining domes.

Binks Yard, at the Island Quarter, reopened its seasonal glass domes last month and customers are now able to secure their place inside one until January 1.

Bookings for the three glass domes start from £30 and can be hired for two-and-a-half hours each day.

Equipped with heating and a Bluetooth speaker, the domes can cater for up to eight people and are an ideal way to get into the festive spirit.

Binks Yard has recently launched its three Christmas menus, including an all-new festive lunch menu priced at two courses for £19.95 or three courses for £22.95 and served between 12pm and 4pm Monday to Saturday.

Back by popular demand, Binks’ soft-shell tacos make a return to the evening menu, with several delicious options including honey glazed ham hock and pineapple; prawn cocktail with Atlantic prawns, avocado and spicy ‘Mary’ rose sauce; orange glazed spiced tofu; and slow-cooked spiced pork shoulder.

Those that favour a more traditional take on festive proceedings will be able to feast on the Binks Xmas dinner which features bacon wrapped turkey, honey chipolatas, truffled broccoli purée, roasted potatoes, kale, honey glazed carrot, fresh nutmeg and cranberry Christmas jus.

Lewis Thornhill, head chef at Binks Yard said: “The festive period is always one of our favourite seasons, and this year we’ve pulled out all the stops to make it a Binks Christmas to remember.

“Our food is a key part of the extra special Binks experience, and as such, we’ve worked hard to craft three new menus that will offer something for everyone. Whether you like your Christmas meals with a creative spin, such as our All the Trimmings Pizza, or you prefer to keep things a little more traditional, with a turkey dinner with the full works, we’ve got you covered.

“Our exciting new festive menus showcase full-bodied flavours, top-quality seasonal ingredients and everything you need to celebrate the season to the fullest. Since launching, our Binks Xmas dinner is already one of our top five best-selling dishes, with many guests getting that Christmas fix early.”
