Lovely bar and restaurant serving great food and beverages. We had Sunday lunch which was great and the service was first class. Would recommend to everyone
Roast dinner was very nice and portion size extremely generous! Had a slight issue with the beef but the staff were quick to correct and were very attentive. Beautiful crumble and custard! - will definitely be returning
The food was great but we found the choice of wine rather expensive. We were seated in an area of the pub with no other people, so not much atmosphere, personal choice some people might prefer it.
Enjoyed the meal and the Old Vol is a really nice place. The staff were friendly and attentive, can't fault it. I would recommend this pub.
Lovely looking pub. Great menu with a good selection of starters, mains and desserts. Nice friendly staff and atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit to anyone 😊
Good quality food at a reasonable price in a good atmosphere , Stsff where riendly and have good service. Will definitely be coming back soon .
Loved the friendliness of the staff. Food was great, although my ice cream had partially melted and refrozen (Chrystal had formed) Would go again though
Very pleasant atmosphere and staff. Starters and mains menu was very good and the food we had was very tasty though the vegetable portions could have been more generous. The desert menu was disappointing only offering three popular choices of cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding and ice creams. Deserts made with seasonal fruit would have been more interesting.
Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Amazing service. Nothing is too much of a problem for you. Made to feel like you have known everyone for years and years. Amazing place and amazing staff can’t recommend them enough.
Good friendly efficient service as is always the case when visiting the Old Volunteer my husbands meal was cooked to perfection mine was almost there but the meat was a little under cooked for my personal taste. The atmosphere as always very good this is a very well kept pub in an area short of good pubs which are good to eat at.
Always service and great food in a nice atmosphere. Why go to a chain for frozen food when you can have quality for just a little bit more money.
Superb food and excellent service from friendly staff. The quality of the food is second to none and very good value. Would highly recommend visiting.
A really lovely warm relaxing atmosphere with welcoming staff, no pushy, eager to please and always helpful, overall a great experience and would recommend a visit for food or for just a drink.
upon Arrival the staff weee very helpful and friendly. Food was served in good time and to a high quality. We will definitely be returning again.
Friendly staff greeted us and were attentive throughout our meal. The wine choice seemed good. My rib eye steak was unfortunately a little grisly, but I'm sure that's just the cut rather than the cooking.
Very welcoming, great service and lovely food. Will be visiting again!
days we had a no show but we did go and I've recites to prove it. 3 lots of fish and chips. very nice fish was very fresh.
Excellent food and superb beer! waited a bit longer than usually expected - but food cooked from fresh. Quite noisy later on due to a larger family party. Lovely polite, erudite and effective staff. Will definitely go back. Superb Lunch!
there is a vibrant atmosphere at the Old Vol; the food is of good quality and well presented. The staff are friendly and efficient and Jo is a fantastic front of house. A great afternoon with family and friends!
Lovely pub and great food. My friend who is expecting a baby looked the bees knees non alcoholic prosecco. Good menu, could maybe do with a couple more pudding choices
Great atmosphere, wonderful food, Jo’ and her team certainly go the extra yard. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Can’t wait for the next Sunday lunch at the Old Volunteer Caythorpe.
Really lovely food. The pork belly was melt in the mouth and the scallops were too. Worth a visit to this place for a special occcasiob
A wonderful lunch from the set menu. Faultless. Great service with friendly staff. Highly recommended Looking forward to returning. Also nice riverside walk nearby before returning for a quick drink!
Enjoyed 2 course lunch - very tasty and good value. Would have rated a 6 if there had been more vegetables on the main course
Good meal, good service at a reasonable price. We thought the early evening menu was excellent and we will definitely be back again very soon.
Went fir Sunday lunch. Excellent food and service. Only thing was the waiting time between courses but they did apologise .Would definitely go again .
Fantastic Sunday roast. Excellent customer service and lovely restaurant. Nothing to fault whatsoever. We would definitely come back again, and again. Thank you for a lovely evening.
Great food, excellent staff, perfect night. Would highly recommend this restaurant / bar. Had a very good night if a restaurant that was good value for money.
Excellent food, excellent service but as it was very busy, we did find it uncomfortably noisy. We will definitely visit again but on a quieter weekday rather than Sunday lunch.
Lovely evening...great food and service. The children loved the prosecco and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. We'll be back and highly recommend to everyone x
Excellent food and service. Izzy and Molly the waitresses looked after us very well. A very enjoyable evening and would recommend to anyone. Will visit again. Thank you
Really good food and attentive service, not cheap but happy to pay for good quality food. Bar area a bit noisy but we asked for a table away from the bar and that was fine. The sweet I had was really delicious. We would certainly go back, but I think the bar area and outside is a bit intimidating.
Great venue, food was very nice, Pil Pil Prawns and Pork Belly were delicious. can be a bit noisy but depends what sort of atmosphere you prefer.
Great Sunday lunch , very friendly staff and quality service and food fantastic, lovely pub , beer, food and staff . Laughing be it will be back soon
Great pub and kitchen with a varied menu with a very friendly team. I won't hesitate to return or recommend that you beat me to it.
I booked this for Father's Day as we have been before for an evening meal and had a great experience. Sunday lunch did not disappoint! Great food! Great service, I would recommend The Old Volunteer to anyone.
We had a family meal there and everyone really enjoyed it.. There was choices on the menu to suit everyone's taste and no one was disappionted
Very nice welcome followed by a delicious meal. Only criticism is that the caeser salad we ordered didn't contain anchovies as described in the menu. We always enjoy meals at the Old Volunteer and will continue to go regularly for quality of food and ambience.
Lovely meal, great service. Food here is always good and staff are always warm and welcoming. Varied menu with lots of choice and childrens' options available on request.
Excellent food, service and surroundings as ever. Jo is the perfect host. A really enjoyable Father's Day celebration with my family, what's not to like!
Lovely home cooked food. Very busy, nice decor and in a lovely setting. Pricier than your average pub meal but worth it. Attentive and polite staff.
Today was the third, maybe the fourth time, I and my friend have visited. The food, friendliness of the staff make for a pleasurable experience
Fabulous location, food was delicious, will visit again soon. Food is good value for the money, very reasonable price for the excellent quality of the food. The service was prompt and you didn't have to wait long to be served
Good food and service and a pleasant atmosphere. Very busy and obviously popular. I used to visit regularly many years ago but it had changed into first class venue.
Gorgeous food served by a lovely waitress. Prices really good. The general atmosphere is relaxed and sociable. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.
Pleasant atmosphere but very slow service. Vegetarian choices were limited and unimaginative. My hare main course was delicious, but other mains in our party of 4 were somewhat disappointing.
Lovely atmosphere with lovely staff. Made to feel as part of the family, and like you have know everyone for years. Great food. Will be visiting again. ❤️
Fantastic meal but felt very rushed, was given the bill without asking for it. We felt we needed to pay and leave, it was around 10.30pm when we left.
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. The waitress was brilliant and the food was exceptional. We all love the Old Vol and will be returning soon.
We had a great evening. The food was excellent and freshly cooked. The service was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend. Lovely modern restaurant with plenty of seating area inside and outside.
