The Kings Arms

Our beautifully renovated restaurant, bar and rooms offer a stylish and decadent experience in the heart of Dorchester. We’re open all day with an ever changing, seasonal, fresh food menu to cater for long, indulgent, multi-course feasts or the simplest of snacks – all available in our restaurant, bar or old smoking room. Our relaxed restaurant uses the finest ingredients to serve simple, unfussy, seasonal, fresh food. Wherever possible this is local, wild and organic. We are loyal to our suppliers, whether it is our local fishermen, or Jim Baker and his organic old spot pigs in Wedmore! Our menu is overseen by Tom Blake, Executive Chef, alongside Head Chef, Steve Yates. We have 20 rooms where you'll find original features mixed with vintage finds and playful, modern furniture. Bespoke lighting, rich velvets and beautiful linens, are set against hand-painted wallpaper and a palette of green, grey and blue tones. All have comfortable king size, super king size or twin beds, Smart TV, Pure radios, unlimited free Wi-Fi, hairdryer, Nespresso machine, kettle and parlour cupboard with teas, coffees and treats.
