About This Pub
Ah, The Volunteer in Lowestoft is one of those classic pubs that can really hit the spot for a relaxed evening out. From the reviews, it's clear folks love the friendly staff who go out of their way to make everyone feel at home, whether you're popping in with a furry friend or just after a chat. The atmosphere is spot on, with plenty of energy from events like quiz nights and thumping house music that gets you up and dancing on the weekends – it's got that proper community feel. On the downside, it seems like things have slipped a bit since the place changed hands, with some saying the service is now a bit lacklustre, which could put a dampener on your visit. All in all, it's worth checking out for a budget-friendly pint and a laugh, but maybe pop in and see for yourself if it's back on form.
