Welcome
to The Mitre

The Mitre in Shaftesbury is a classic British country pub located on the High Street in the heart of the town. Locally famous for our tiered outdoor decking space with stunning views overlooking Melbury Hill, just a stones throw away from the famous Gold hill featured in Ridley Scott's Hovis advert.

With our roaring fires and warm and cosy decor it is the perfect spot to kick back and relax for a bite to eat whilst sipping on one of our Winter tipples- a spiced warming mulled cider, A perfect espresso martini or a pint of London Original to name just a few of our favourites.

Our food changes with the season – one of the best Sunday roasts in Dorset – vegan and vegetarian options are not to be trifled with either! - hearty British classics, tasty specials, a sprinkling of festive favourites, sharing boards and nostalgic puddings.

In these very new and somewhat challenging times we highly recommend to book your table ahead of your visit. We are following the guidelines around safe distancing and maintaining a Covid safe environment. Full table service is in place for both inside and outside on our decking and we encourage you to download our app to order and pay- you can even "change the tune" if you fancy becoming Mitre DJ during your visit!
