What rachieh69 likes about Volunteer Arms:
We.visited this town as we had never been before and came upon this pub.i wasnt bothered about eating here but so glad i did the fish pie was lovely with big chunks of salmon and cod,prawns and musssels. I had ginger cake with custard for dessert which again was lovely..no regrets and reasonably priced too View all feedback. What Tina S doesn't like about Volunteer Arms:
I visited Volunteer Arms for food. The portion of black pudding sausage starter was extremely small and I couldn't taste any black pudding in it. Overall, I was very disappointed. The fish pie was more like fish soup with a decent amount of fish, but the vegetables were lacking with only 2 small broccoli florets, 1 small spoon of turnip, and 4 green beans. I ended up getting a burger to fill up. View all feedback.

The Volly is ok. I do feel that it is a little overhyped when in reality, all it is is an old man's drinking place. The bar is downstairs and is very noisy...
