The Crown Club
The Crown Club at The Old Government House Hotel is the most stylish and relaxing rendezvous in all of Guernsey - the perfect spot to enjoy the company of friends and colleagues over a few drinks and a light meal. Created from the original 18th century Old Crown Offices it provides an intimate and flexible collection of inviting spaces that are perfect for a wide range of occasions and functions, including a glass-walled wine and whisky-tasting room.
The plush and cosy bar has a very traditional and opulent feel, with red leather banquette seating and a wealth of antique brass fittings. It offers an outstanding selection of premium whiskies and British gins, Champagne, vodkas and cognacs as well as cocktails, beers and fine wines, including signature vintages from our sister wine estate Bouchard Finlayson.

Wine dinners
The restaurant at Summer Lodge prides itself on being exceptional in every way. To accompany this delicious dining experience, our expert Sommeliers will provide carefully-selected wines from around the world, guiding you through the origins and complexities of each one.
These dinners are held in selected months, highlighting different regions. Due to their popularity and limited space, early booking is highly recommended.
Outstanding wines
Sommelier Eric Zwiebel has created a cellar at Summer Lodge that is a source of wonder for wine lovers. Filled with his personal selection of wines, both famous and obscure discoveries, the list Eric has created is truly spectacular, and has received the prestigious ‘Best of Award of Excellence’ from Wine Spectator every year since 2005.
We would be delighted to design a bespoke, West Country wine escape for you, including a private wine tasting with master sommelier Eric and a tour to local vineyards.
Local suppliers
Inspired by an abundance of superb local produce, including Dorset Vinny Blue Cheese and Dorset Beef, and seasonal ingredients grown in our kitchen gardens and polytunnels, Executive Chef Steven Titman has created a timeless menu which combines both innovative cuisine and classic signature dishes.
We are proud of our long-standing partnerships with the very best local purveyors, most within 25 miles, who share our values of quality and integrity.
