David & Karin welcome you to the Crown Inn & hope you enjoy your visit.
Karin had a very successful award winning Freehouse in the village of Chapmanslade, Wiltshire for over 16 years, followed by a restaurant at a Hampshire Golf Club, where she was Chef for over 10 years. David was Steward at a Hampshire Golf Club followed by Steward for the British Legion. Both of us having been in the hospitality trade for many years, decided to return to the West Country where we come from & took over The Crown Inn on 6th January 2016. The village of Uploders is a lovely place to be, with excellent walks & stunning views
Since taking over we have redecorated, to give the pub a feel of a country cottage Inn which is well supported locally.Whatever the weather, take a visit to the Crown either to eat or drink inside a traditional West Dorset Country Pub, or enjoy the large enclosed garden. Our cosy Bar is warm & welcoming, with a real fire in winter.
The Crown is family run with the help of our excellent team. David in the Bar serving 3 changing Palmers Real Ales, Wines, Spirits or Soft drinks & Karin who is the Chef, preparing only the freshest of mouth watering food, all home cooked along with an excellent selection of homemade desserts. Our menu changes frequently, but the usual favourites are almost always available. Karin’s homemade Pies with many variations on fillings are a big favourite.
Since taking over the Crown Inn we have received the:
TRIPADVISOR EXCELLANCE AWARDS 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021, 2022. 2023
