Well received upon entering and shown to our seats in a friendly manner. The service was excellent and the drinks arrived with only a small wait. The menu was adventurous and very reasonable price wise. The food was just superb ,cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were varied and al dente. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and experience and will visit again
I have been to The Old Volunteer twice now and the food is amazing, excellent value for money, the staff are lovely and the Landlady is very helpful and chats amongst guests and nothing it too much of an ask. Highly recommend this place. :-)
Very welcoming. Menu was good with something for everyone. Wine selection a little limited but overall a very nice evening. Would recommend and come back again.
Just fab great food great service great atmosphere lovely decor a must try .... It's a little out the way but well worth the effort in my book
Fantastic food great ambiance nothing is too much trouble. It's our local so we consider ourselves really lucky. If you haven't been home you will definitely be impressed.
Fantastic as always, food always very high quality and great atmosphere. The menu is always great and caters for all of our family. We will be back.
Excellent food and servIce in a lovely pub/resteraunt. Sunday lunch menu had a good variety not just roasts.would recommend a visit even just for a drink.
Lovely place, Sunday dinner was excellent. Would have liked a slightly larger range of deserts though as there weren't many to choose from but overall lovely
V tasty food served by friendly, attentive staff in a lovely setting!! We all enjoyed 3 courses and were not rushed to finish, will definitely be going back
Lovely attentive staff, scrumptious food, excellent beer, top venue. We had a lovely time and will return soon. I would recommend The Old Volunteer to anyone looking for great service, food and drink.
We were a party of 6 and we really enjoyed the great food. The service was excellent with really friendly staff, we will definitely be returning
Very accommodating and food was fine. Would eat there again. Good portions and plenty of choice. Also considerate to dog owners (pets not allowed in the restaurant of course).
Food & service was excellent, would recommend to anyone.will certainly be going back. Love the outdoor areas which will be great if we get any decent weather
Very good food and good service. Great value lunch set meal. The decor interior and exterior was stunning. Cant wait to try the upstairs terrace. Maybe consider an additional veggie option.
Lovely food and very friendly, good atmosphere. Would definitely book again. Very busy so think it's very popular and necessary to book. Recommend the lamb!
Excellent food, great staff, good value lunch menu. Would have been even better if the weather had been Warner and we could have sat on the new terrace.
the food was all it could be, fresh , hot , plentiful ,tasty , and served with a smile. will I go again ? absolutely go again and recommend highly
This was my second time at the Old Vol and again, could not fault it. Excellent meal and the service was great. Make sure you try the steak and ale pie - DELICIOUS!
The environment, staff and overall experience was very good. Great venue and Jo has done a wonderful job of the place. The food was also of a good quality, though sometimes lacked seasoning, nothing major. Where we sat was unfortunately adjacent to two family parties tables, so they were rather overpowering, but one cannot control the clients.
Welcoming - nice food and service ! Rosie is your asset ! Perhaps just a little more range of liqueurs - but really good evening !
Excellent food and very friendly staff. Thank you for making my birthday meal one to remember :) My family will definitely be returning and we will certainly inform our friends of our experience.
Excellent meal at the Volunteer - it never disappoints. Excellent food in relaxed, pleasant surroundings what's not to like. The lamb was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit.
Excellent evening. Food was excellent. I thoroughly recommend the fish cakes. The service and welcome were very good as well. Best place around this neck of the woods.
We had excellent food in a lovely atmosphere. It wasn't a busy evening but once we had our main course from then on the service was slow.
Food was excellent and the two gentleman that served us were very polite and attentive to our requirements, would recommend it to everyone. Great selection of drinks too
Thoroughly enjoyed the meal , staff very attentive, only comment for us the side dinning area lacks atmosphere , although ok if you want quiet dinning
What a great setting!! Lovely views and great interior throughout. Sat upstairs and lovely ambience. Food was spectacular and all homemade and it shows in the tastings!! Staff great, attentive but not intrusive. Lovely outdoor space too with heaters, lanterned candles and all year round green grass!! Will be back.
The service was good, the food is excellent and the location is convenient for us. Five of us used the set lunch menu and found it sufficiently varied to suit usd all.
This is our favourite place to dine for Sunday lunch. The landlady Jo is very hands on managing the staff who provide Excellent food & service. The price is a little more than some places, however the quality of food & the ambience are well worth it. We would definitely recommend a visit.
Great food. Friendly and helpful staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Amazing outdoor area!
We had a great evening, from the moment we arrived, the friendly service, the quality of the food, all excellent. Thank you. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our Sunday lunch very much. It was a lovely situation sitting outside having a drink & the food & staff were excellent. The interior was well designed.
