Ah, The Volunteer, what a delightful spot it is! I've got to say, stepping into this historic Grade II listed building feels like a step back in time, but in the best possible way – it's got that warm, traditional pub charm that just makes you want to settle in for the evening. The atmosphere is spot on, especially with all the live entertainment on offer, like karaoke and music sessions that get everyone joining in, or catching the big games on Sky and BT Sports. And let's not forget the staff; they're an absolute treat, always friendly and ready with a chat, which really adds to the homely feel. On the drinks front, the prices are brilliant value, so you won't break the bank, and there are fun activities like darts and pool to keep things entertaining. Of course, it's not perfect – if you're not local, it might be a bit of a trek to get there, and the pub doesn't open until midday, so it's more for afternoon and evening gatherings. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for anyone after a good pint, a laugh, and some proper pub vibes without the fuss.
