A Landmark Gastropub in Blandford Forum, Dorset

Sitting at the heart of Blandford Forum, The Crown Hotel is a handsome, centuries-old gastropub that’s teeming with character, from its historic paintings to its friendly team. Join us for all day dining options served up with style, charm and a warm welcome.

Our pub restaurant offers a thoughtfully-curated menu with something to tempt you whenever you visit, from breakfast to bedtime. Catch up over a leisurely gastropub lunch with friends, dine in style in our elegant dining room, or share small plates in the bar as the sun sets. 

Scrumptious Sunday Roasts

The only good thing about the change of weather is that cosy season is upon us and that means Sunday Roasts are a thing again.

Join us at The Crown Hotel for a traditional roast lunch in Blandford every Sunday. Our 28-day aged West Country beef is served with seasonal veg, Yorkshires, roasties & gravy homemade in our kitchen.

The Crown is perfect for families, with a pub and restaurant that will provide a safe and comfortable environment, and boutique hotel rooms where you and your family can get a good night’s sleep.

The party was great and the food very good. Our room was lovely, nice little touches and a great view of the town. This is a fabulous old Georgian Hotel with a big spacious feel and a sense of the past.
