The Mitre Inn

I visited The Mitre Inn in Sandford Orcas a couple of weeks ago for a quick pub lunch following a walk with friends, and wow what a transformation. We arrived just as the pub opened and were greeted with a smile by a friendly waitress. It’s been a little while since I ventured down and it turns out the pub has had somewhat of a complete makeover. The pub now has a sophisticated, warm and charming feel about it. I opted for a baguette with brie and cranberry which came with chips and salad…no picture as I ate it too quickly as it was delicious! There is ample parking in the main and over flow car parks, the entrance is wheel chair friendly (no large steps to go up or down), plenty of seating with cosy corners, bar area with rustic seating which is in keeping for the area (think bar stools with vintage tractor seats), wide selection of food on the menu with lots of puddings, variety of beers/ciders/soft drinks/wines, two lovely large wood burners, outdoor seating in the beautiful garden area, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming along with plenty of locals who greet everyone with a smile. Would I go back yes, will I go back of course. 10/10 from start to finish. Thank you very much to all, we had a lovely afternoon!

A haven of peace in deepest Dorset Arrived in the dark on a bitterly cold misty February night. Despite the fact that Steve had only just got out of hospital after a hip operation and clearly in pain, he did everything possible to make me welcome and comfortable. Rooms recently completely refurbished, well-pointed and warm. Great land scaping projects in the garden ready for the summer to make wonderful sitting out areas. The quintessentially simple cosy affordable Dorset Inn, log fire. stone floor simple decor, gumboots and pub labrador. Perfection.

Great experience Great welcome and staff very accommodating. Small village location and a traditional village inn Food excellent.

Steven is a very nice person. The breakfast is rich and the burger dinner is very delicious.

This is a great pub in a lovely area. The staff are engaging, the food is delicious and the accommodation is clean, warm & cosy. I will be returning to the Mitre Inn

An authentic village pub not pretending to be anything else. Basic menu well executed. Friendly, attentive but unobtrusive service. The only downside was the unpleasant smell coming from our bathroom.
