| I would love to own this pub, This is the first pub I would take people to visit if I was drinking in the centre, The ales are selling well and looking good and it seems that dave has this pub heading in the right direction. well done. steve_stars - 26 Apr 2009 17:35 |
| I went in on saturday night for a couple of pints and the place was really really busy. Great pub, good bit of singing by the crowd and a really good atmosphere only spoilt by the mad landlord closing at eleven when he has got at least another hour of permitted time to go. And not to mention the really annoying doorman shouting at FIVE past for us to start drinking up, i only bought my last pint at five to and got the impression that although we spent a lot of cash there we were not welcome to finish are drinks at a resonable pace but had to neck them and clear off. thebighairyone - 26 Apr 2009 17:08 |
| Not been in The Volly for a while so thought give it a go. Impressive range of ales including Cotswold Spring Brewery, Moors and Cotleigh. Very busy with office staff going in after work, terrible piped RnB coming through the speakers, not too loud, but just doesn't fit with the place. Still, well worth a visit and beer served in good condition. Dandillus - 31 Jan 2009 20:27 |
| Wipe your memory clean of this pub's glorious previous life as a red-nosed Bass drinkers' den and accept it for what it is in 2008: a popular meeting place with a landlord committed to good ale, especially local rarities you won't find elsewhere in the centre of town.

| One of the worst 'renovations' I have ever seen. Just a few years ago this place was precious - a rare gem and you could feel the history seeping from the dark moulded ceilings, flagstone floors and delightful characters that were drawn to the place. It had clearly remained pretty much unchanged since the days when it was genuinely used to find naval recruits in the 18th century. It is now a standardised souless place in comparison. An appauling job that should genuinely have had the owners served with a prosecution order. oliverhylton - 30 Apr 2008 17:24 |
