A proper local pub. Real ale, home-cooked food, and a warm welcome — just as it's always been, for over 130 years.
Six rotating cask ales, always including at least two local Dorset breweries. Ask what's on.
Traditional pub classics made fresh every day. Sunday roast available every week — booking advised.
Log fires in the bar all winter. The best seat in Wimborne on a cold evening, guaranteed.
Dogs welcome in the bar. Water bowls always on, dog biscuits behind the bar.
The Crown & Anchor has been at the heart of Wimborne since 1887. Five landlords, two world wars, and countless lock-ins later — we're still here, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
We're not a chain, not a gastro pub, and not trying to be anything we're not. Just a proper local, run by people who love their community.
