The Crown Dorset - North Dorset

Very pleasing experience. Great service. Friendly staff. Interesting thoughts written all over the walls.

I love the crown. Have been a fair few times. This visit was a bit disappointing though. The good bits… we booked last minute but were found a table and greeted warmly. The service was excellent throughout. Thank you. I love the ambience too. My husband enjoyed his meal though he found it quite salty. The big disappointment was the pizza. No claims were made about it but I took one look and a sniff and I think it was frozen pizza heated up. Good frozen pizza, I’ll grant you, but nevertheless frozen. I would not have ordered it had I known this. We had coffees which were good but were disappointed by the absence of a little cube of fudge. The staff didn’t know, but it was our wedding anniversary. Ah well! They forgot the mints with the coffee at our reception too… we didn’t complain as we just wanted a nice evening.

Have eaten in 4 of their establishments and the standard is consistent. Prices are creeping up though to a point where they could impact my decision to eat there.

Very good value for money, the room were a bit to colourful for my like but nice and comfortable and very clean definitely recommended, breakfast a bit expensive £15 for egg on toast, coffee and juice I think it’s a bit stiff but was nice next time a pop to the centre good choice of breakfast for less. On departure just drop the key and I got just a thanks nothing else I would have expected at least I hope you had a good stay or have a nice day I guess talking to other colleagues was more important just saying as I own business and sometime people forget the most important part. Definitely I will visit again even do it’s perfect

We visited for our anniversary, and only booked via the website that afternoon. But there was no problem with our booking, and they even treated us to a free bottle of wine to celebrate! Lovely service. The pantry plate sharing board was delicious!
