To assist you in planning your dream wedding, our dedicated Wedding Coordinator and Events Manager will be available for consultation, along with some of our recommended local suppliers.

Our coffees
You’re guaranteed a decent brew at The Crown Hotel, because we take making coffee just as seriously as we take pouring the perfect pint. Our ‘Rocket Espresso’ is an 100% Arabica blend from our friends at Extract Coffee Roasters. It’s delicious as well as ethical, with a natural sweetness complemented by full-bodied notes of chocolate and caramel.
Our beers
Drink in the taste of the Dorset countryside by sampling our Badger beers, which were first brewed by local farmer Charles Hall in 1777. Created from hops, malted barley, and pure spring water that’s naturally filtered through the chalk downs of Dorset, they’re a firm favourite. At The Crown, we offer a full, distinctive and delicious range, including our new Outland beers, which are imaginatively flavoured, and far from ordinary.
Stay at The Crown Hotel
Whether you’re planning a family adventure, a business trip, or a romantic break for two, we’re looking forward to welcoming you. Our dog-friendly rooms mean there’s no need to leave your pooch at home, while our family rooms are perfect for all ages: just chat to our team to design your perfect stay.
