The Volunteer, Lewes

We dropped into the Volunteer yesterday afternoon (Sunday) to listen to the live music that was advertised. We had never been into the pub before (in any of its previous incarnations) and were met by a warm, laid back and very friendly atmosphere. There were plenty of families finishing off what looked like a very good Sunday roast. Rob and Jo (the enthusiastic young owners) were out front with their young son and chatting to punters. The music was very mellow. They served an excellent pint of Harveys best and had a good selection of wines. Prices for food and drink were very reasonable.

The pub obviously has "previous" judging by some of the earlier comments, but under new ownership it is a really welcoming, relaxed and convivial place. Will definitely make it a regular haunt.
