Red Wine
The Crown Inn Marnhull

DRINK

Our drinks selection is well-formed but uncomplicated.

World-class wines, traditional local ales & beers, including our very own Crown Helles Lager & classic cocktails from our friends at Edmunds can be enjoyed at The Crown. Our ales are supplied by award-winning local brewery, Hall & Woodhouse, located in nearby Blandford Forum. Our gin range comes from local & world distilleries & our wine list is varied & growing. Our handpicked list (we’ve personally tried them all) features over twenty-five wines from around the world. We've also a carefully curated range of beers, ciders & spirits along with a choice of non-alcoholic options & softies if you aren’t on the booze.

Why not visit us for our ‘Happy Hour’ discounts on selected drinks. And with having won the “Beer Quality Award’ for 2023 at the Hall & Woodhouse national Business Partnership Awards ceremony, you can be assured of the perfect pint every time!

DINE

Our relaxed pub is the perfect environment for lazy lunches, sumptuous suppers & the chance to relax after a day exploring the surrounding countryside. In the summer months the dining space extends into our sun-filled walled garden for alfresco dining on small plates shared amongst friends. Meat & game comes from West Country farms & butchers, whilst fresh herbs are picked just a few steps away in The Crown kitchen garden.

We focus on seasonal, British produce from local, independent businesses. Food Heroes supply us, people who are striving to fish, farm, forage, grow or work with the very best of British ingredients. People we can call our friends.

 

Everything we do at the Crown is evaluated through asking ourselves whether or not it’ll make people return. We are aware that our business relies on people coming in time & time again. That’s why we’re generous with our offer of wholesome portions & a chance to try something new, whilst still finding old classics & comforting pub bangers dotted throughout our menu, such as wonderful hand raised pies & our amazing Sunday roasts.

Our food is hearty, interesting & delicious; we try to keep things simple & do them well.
