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 large grade II listed Victorian pub has at some time past been opened out into one main area but with a feel of a degree of separation. Likely to have been a five or more roomer at one time, now we find the bar on the back wall opposite the entrance, to the right is a games area with a pair of dartboards and a pool table while to the left a slightly raised area looks to be the preferred dining zone. Some leaded stained glass remains. Darts must feature highly here, there are several trophies of significant size on shelves. Carpeted main area, lino and boarded to the right, mid afternoon found a half dozen or so blokes chatting around the bar and watching the horse racing while a few others ate the unbelievably priced food, ham, egg and chips was £2.50, baked potatoes started from £1 and increased dizzily to all of £1.50. Beers are from Holts, like a return to my formative drinking days with just mild and bitter, bitter was £2.56.
As a historical side note this remains as far as I can recall the only pub I have ever been barred from, back in around 1981, for having the temerity to return a bad pint. It was a Whitbread pub back then. Thankfully attitudes seem to have changed for the better since.
