Welcome to the Mitre

Nestled in the heart of the high street of the picturesque Market town of Shaftesbury in Dorset sits the charming Mitre. Exceptional views from our covered tiered terrace overlooking Melbury Hill and across the Blackmore Vale.

Sunday Best

Sunday in the pub is like a big ol' hug. Bloody Marys, generous roasts (with larger-than-life Yorkie puds) alongside bucket-loads of gravy (well, two jugs full at least) - it doesn't get better than that.

Christmas in Shaftesbury

With our open fires roaring, the team in good spirits, the scent of mulled wine in the air and all your favourite festive foods a-cooking, our cosy pub is built for the season.

Parties and Events

We have a range of versatile areas to reserve to make your event just that bit extra special. From cosy get-togethers with friends, or intimate celebration dinners with the whole family, we have plenty of spaces in our pub, dining room & tiered terrace.

Welcome to The Mitre, Shaftesbury

Landlord Jonathan and his team welcome you to the Mitre our much-loved traditional high-street pub nestled in the heart of the picturesque Market town of Shaftesbury, Dorset. Locally famous for our tiered outdoor terrace with stunning views overlooking Melbury Hill and across the Blackmore Vale. Just a stone’s throw away from the famous Gold hill featured in Ridley Scott’s Hovis advert.

You’ll love our pub. The bar is bustling, our pumps are primed with premium local ales, and cool craft-y beers, and we shake up a cracking cocktail too (if we do say so ourselves)

Head Chef Karol cooks up a storm, with his signature dishes, and perfectly cooked pub classics. We’re always making the most of seasonal ingredients, so you’ll be tucking into the freshest asparagus in Spring, the plumpest blackberries in Summer, gorging on game-y goodness in Autumn, and a riot of root veggies in the Winter.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas, so why not let us take the stress out of booking the office Christmas party or your festive catch up with friends over a mulled wine or two. Our Chefs have planned the finest Christmas feast, succulent sharing boards & delicious snacks, from three course sit downs, to casual nibbles, we’ve got everything you’ll need this party season.

The Perfect Sunday

Sundays are special. Locally sourced meat, buckets of gravy (well, at least two jugs) endless Yorkshire puddings and those nourishing winter veggies. End your week with an all-guns-blazing Sunday roast.
