Mitre, Buckingham

Local CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2023, just a 15 minute walk from the centre of Buckingham takes you to the town's oldest pub, dating from the 17th century. A cosy atmosphere is enhanced by a real open fire as well as a new log burner in winter.

As a free house, the Mitre has two regular beers (including a Timothy Taylor, as member of brewery's "Champion Club") plus three changing and interesting beers, from all over the UK, usually including local breweries. The Mitre serves Bray's real cider on the fifth handpull over the summer, but reverts to porters or stouts in the winter. It also features two craft beer taps. Two boards display information on current and forthcoming beers.

The pub supports local charities and charity football and cricket matches. It also supports the local football and rugby clubs and has its own darts team.

Major sporting events are shown on the seven large-screen Sky and BT TVs and, if games clash, different matches can be shown at once.

Plenty of outdoor drinking space with a stretch-tent covering the garden, allowing for al fresco opening no matter what the weather.
