I don't know about the frequency of buses to the Kings Head, but it is a very
similar place to the Crown at Blandford. I've used it a few times and I'm
sure it's worth a try (assuming that the Wi-Fi is OK; they do have it, I
asked).
Parking isn't brilliant; it has a car park, but it's quite small. However,
there are numerous public car parks within a short walk of the place and they
may well be free late evenings (I can't remember, anyone know?).
In the end, it's up to the Bournemouth residents. The Bournemouth meets
always had more people who relied on public transport (probably because in the
west of the county there isn't any public transport worth writing home about
anyway). So if you would come to a Bournemouth meet, but not to this venue,
please suggest an alternative.
