The Volunteer Hotel is a Holts pub with a bar facing the entrance that supports four handpumps that were drawing Bitter and Mild during a recent midweek visit. To the right of the entrance are pool and dart areas, both with banquette seating. There is seating in the window to the left of the entrance and some raised seating can be found further left. Televisions are located throughout and football was playing. I found the service to be polite and the pub comfortable.

This is my "work local" as I work at Cap Gemini just behind the pub. We often call in for a BLT and a pint on a Friday. It used to be more often, but having a pint at lunchtime is frowned upon now. It's one large room with a raised area to the left. It's a typical Holts roadhouse, brick built and ornate, although it doesn't have the tiling of many other Holts pubs. Usually only has Holts Mild & Bitter available, although there's sometimes a seasonal available. It's a good pint as well. The food is basic, but good quality. You could do a lot worse than stop here for a pint and a bite to eat.
