Welcome to the Mitre
Six Nations 2026

Where better to enjoy the action than at one of the best rugby pubs? We can’t wait to welcome you to enjoy every second of the Six Nations matches live on our screens.

Sunday Roasting

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.

A pub in the heart of Shaftesbury

Landlord Jonathan and his team welcome you to 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.

Mother’s Day

Treat Mum to a relaxed Mother’s Day with a proper lunch on Sunday 15th March.

Whether it’s a family get-together, a leisurely lunch, or just popping in for a drink , we’ve got the perfect spot to celebrate Mum.

Can’t make it? Don’t worry – our gift vouchers make the perfect present!

Watch the World Cup at the Mitre

Here at the Mitre we’re super excited for the biggest sporting event of the year.

We’ll be showing every game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 live on our big screens in the pub. Expect great food, perfect pints and an electric atmosphere that you just can’t match at home. It’s the place to be in Shaftesbury this summer.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you want to bag the best tables, make sure to book ahead.
