Welcome to the Mitre
Summer of Spritz

Our brand-new, oh-so-seasonal Summer Spritz menu is back – and designed for long-and-lazy afternoons in the sun.

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.

May Bank Holiday Weekend

Kick off your May Bank Holiday in style at The Mitre.

Join us for a weekend designed for pure relaxation and good times. Enjoy freshly prepared food, refreshing drinks, and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re catching up with friends or making the most of the long weekend, we’ve got everything you need.

Great vibes, great company – make it a weekend to remember!

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.
