| Classic unspoilt backstreet local in the leafy suburb of Waterloo. It is well described below but I can add that it is worth the trip up from Liverpool if you've the time and inclination.- a 5 minute walk from Waterloo railway station. Welcome very friendly and 4-5 real ales available, mostly from the larger breweries. Attractive green seating and an interesting trophy cabinet as well. Definitely worth going out of your way for.

| Bit surprised that only one person has posted on this pub since my last posting ( below ) in October 2006. The Volunteer Canteen - or The Volly as it's apparently known locally - is a fine traditional pub in a residential side street, a couple of blocks behind Crosby Marina and Lakes. The date above the front door is 1924, but the building dates back to 1827. My pint of Black Sheep was on fine form - 26 June 2008. There's usually 3 or 4 real ales available - these included Deuchars IPA and Ruddles on my recent June visit. Note the interesting collection of photographs and memorabilia of Liverpool in days of old - particularly the pictures of the Liverpool Overhead Railway which served the docks and ran until 1956, or thereabouts. Note also the old Higsons etched windows and mirror in the public bar. In the gents toilet, there is a framed poem entitled "lament to a lost pub" which isn't referring to any named pub in particular, but did strike a cord with this reviewer. Read more about the pub in the Liverpool Historic Pub Guide, which is well worth getting hold of. In conclusion, the Volly is a splendid example of a good honest community local, well worth seeking out when in the Crosby area. JohnBonser - 7 Jul 2008 12:11 |
