| The recent beer festival would have been better if the barman wasn't smoking behind the outside bar. MrKiA - 23 Jul 2012 18:47 |
| Another reinvention for a local boozer in these parts, and one which I approved of - not that I recall having ever visited in its previous life so in fairness I have little to compare - but in all obvious aspects surely it has to have been a big improvement. Small, intimate, atmospheric and woody best describes the interior, which was built around a goodly number of mostly local ales. Arbor Mild West was sampled and found in a superb state. If I hadn't had further fish to fry I'd surely have spent longer trying some of the others. Service was with a friendly smile from the bar staff. I could smell the kitchen had been recently active but can't say any more on provision of grub other than there is some - sadly there pretty much has to be in the days when it's assumed wet sales lose and food triumphs. Tucked away, one fears that similarly to the equally-fringe Phoenix down the road, that the Volunteer may not get the attention it now deserves. But if that does transpire - and I hope locals and non-locals alike ensure it doesn't - it shouldn't be down to the people who've obviously worked hard to get this pub back on the drinker's map. So many round the area have gone recently, and so those which keep a toehold should be patronised wherever possible. Keep up the good work boys and girls - I think I'll be back.
