I’ve been meaning to go to the Dome Cafe ever since it opened.
So when a friend invited Miss NHM and I to lunch there, I jumped at the chance!
I used to be a volunteer youth leader for Gateway Award Project (GAP) in the early 2000’s and haven’t been back to the Dome in at least 10 years.
It’s changed a lot and I was REALLY impressed at how they’ve smartened the place up! lol.
Review: The Cafe Project, The Dome, Brighton Hill

Food
Was excellent.
We had tuna and sweetcorn jacket potatoes and Miss NHM had a huge plate of pasta and sauce. It was yummy and the salad had clearly been prepared upon order.
We were thinking about having cakes as they looked sooooo scrummy, but in the end we were full up!
Tips
The Cafe is open from 9am to 3pm, Tuesday to Friday and food is served until 2pm.
They have easy access and lots of space for buggies and wheelchairs.
Facilities
Are what you would expect. It’s very light and airy and warm considering the high ceiling.
There is a book case with books you can borrow to read and a small selection of toys for children.
Oh and please take note of the menu holders. My Father in law made them, and BOY did he go on and on about them! haha.
Baby Facilities
There was a baby changing table in one of the toilets and it was in good working condition.
They’re also part of the breastfeeding welcome scheme.
Parking
Is Free.
The Dome is just behind Asda in Brighton Hill. There is limited parking, about 8 spaces, but you could always park in Asda car park and walk over.
However, best to check if there is a time limit on parking in the Asda car park though. (The team at the Cafe Project have confirmed that, to their knowledge, there is no time limit for parking in the Asda car park.)
Prices
Are incredibly reasonable. Very good value.
Rating out of 5
I’m giving them 5 out of 5 because it’s such a brilliant concept and clearly is a hub of the local community, given how busy it was!
I was so impressed at the quality of the food for the price we paid.
Totally recommend this cafe for catching up with your friends and it’s a great way to support the local community!
