Staff are lovely, tried the themed night for the food. It was good, but the standard menu was better. Having said that I'd try another themed night as long as it's a different theme

We enjoyed a lovely meal today - a birthday meal for my husband and we were delighted that staff had decorated our corner appropriately and at end of the meal we were surprised with a special chocolate desert with candle. Thank you so much for making us feel special and thank you to the wonderful cheery waitress

This was our first time dining out at The Volunteer Arms, also with a baby. All staff were so friendly and kind moving us to more suitable table to accommodate the pram. Food was delicious, well presented and served all at the same time, which we loved. Nobody was kept waiting. Overall marks - 10/10 from everyone! We will definitely be back.

The service was really good, the music was not loud but they turned it down as we were sitting under the speaker. The food was delicious especially the chips I will recommend to friends and will definitely be booking again
