Property details
The Mitre sits close to the centre of Buckingham, a well‑known and historic market town known for its charming Georgian architecture and independent shops. Set on the banks of the River Great Ouse, it offers a blend of rich heritage and modern amenities, with picturesque streets, green open spaces, and a thriving local market. Buckingham is also home to the University of Buckingham, adding a lively academic presence to the town. Its mix of history, culture, and countryside makes it an attractive place to live, work and visit. The town is easily commutable to Bicester, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury.
This Grade II listed pub is full of traditional features, including exposed beams, timber panelling, stone flooring and feature fireplaces, one of which includes a log burner. The trading areas are warm, inviting and full of personality, creating a setting that appeals to both regulars and visitors.
The pub operates as a drinks‑focused business, with no commercial kitchen. A well‑presented central bar is supported by good storage and cellar facilities, helping to deliver a strong and consistent drinks offer.
A real standout feature is the large outdoor trading space. The garden is mostly paved and partly covered by a substantial tented structure, creating a flexible environment that can be used in all seasons. It also includes a fully functioning external bar, quality bench seating and a raised stage area for live music and events. This makes the Mitre particularly well suited to entertainment, live music and social events, and provides excellent potential to drive trade throughout the year, especially in warmer months.
The pub includes private accommodation, comprising two bedrooms, a spacious living room, a modern kitchen and a bathroom.

Trading style
The Mitre is a well‑established and characterful pub located close to the centre of Buckingham and was awarded CAMRA Pub of the Year 2025 for Buckinghamshire. This pub offers a strong opportunity to run a busy, community‑focused local in a popular market town.
The landlords have excitingly formally exchanged contracts on this pub and are progressing towards completion. Once complete, they will be looking for a Tenancy at Will (TAW) operator to take the pub on in the short term, while they also recruit for the longer-term agreement. This means there’s an opportunity either to run the pub on a short-term basis or to express interest in the long-term agreement, with full financial details coming soon.
This opportunity will suit a hands‑on, energetic publican or partnership who enjoys running a busy, community‑focused pub.
Someone with a passion for drinks, live entertainment, and outdoor trading will do particularly well here. Confidence in hosting events, making the most of the garden space, and creating a lively, welcoming atmosphere will be key.
Experience running a drinks‑focused business is important, along with a strong focus on customer engagement and building a consistent, well‑run operation.

To begin on a TAW, you’ll need:
- Initial capital for deposit, cash flow, and early expenses (we’ll guide you through what this looks like)
- A valid and up‑to‑date Personal Licence
Please note: TAWs cannot be assigned, and subletting isn’t permitted.
Once the long‑term agreement type is confirmed, along with any planned investment, required capital expenditure, or projected figures, the landlords will share the full details with you.
