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

Landlady Victoria and her 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.

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.

Watch the Euros in Shaftesbury

We’re ready and raring to host you for a hotly anticipated summer of football. Let us take care of your day and book a table at your favourite local (that’s us) to watch the UEFA EURO 2024™ in Dorset.
