Events and Celebrations in Shaftesbury

Whenever we have occasion to celebrate, it’s natural (possibly even instinctual) to head to your favourite pub.

The Mitre is the perfect place to host every occasion, whether you’re celebrating a big birthday, having that epic family reunion (you always said you would) or simply gathering your much-loved ones for an special supper, our beautiful high-street pub is spot-on for any toast-able occasion.

Our team are masters of their crafts; Head Chef Karol is renowned for his great food. Impeccable palate-pleasing wine pairings come as standard for landlord Jonathan, and our dedicated front-of-house team will ensure your guests are well cared for – leaving you free to simply relax & enjoy.

Allow Jonathan & his team to plan & host your event to perfection.
