Our Restaurants The Crest and Jazz Room are ideal for small or large parties and boast a varied menu in which our team of chefs, under our Head Chef Dave, places the focus on fresh, British ingredients including daily fresh fish from the south coast and Scotland and meat mainly from Dorset and Wiltshire. We also cater for vegetarians with our own secret recipes! Smaller appetites are also catered for as well as those with special dietry requirements. One can also enjoy snacks, meals and local Cask Ales from Blandford in the Below Decks bar.
