We hope to see you all over the Xmas period.
But for those that we don’t see, Have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🥳
If you haven’t already heard the good news we have been selected again in The Good Beer Guide by CAMRA – the Campaign for Real Ale.
This is the book for beer lovers. It has listings for 4,500 pubs across the UK, and all entries have been selected by CAMRA members.
The book also has comprehensive info on breweries in the UK, all 1,800 of them! The foreword is by Prof Brian Cox (who has been working with JW Lees in Manchester to brew his ‘Cosmic Brew’ beer!).

We have recently changed our wine list to give a wonderful new selection to our customers. The list includes reds, whites, rose, fortified wine, sparkling and Champagne – and we also have a delicious English wine from Lyme Bay Winery, just along the coast. Take a look at what’s on offer on our new Wine List page.
What’s more, you can now order everything on the wine list by the glass! And that not only includes Prosecco, but also Champagne!
We think you deserve the best, and if you just want a single glass, then you should have it.
We hope you enjoy sampling some of these wines. Cheers!
During the special Remembrance Sunday in 2018 which marked 100 years since Armistice Day, a group of Veterans got together in the pub and discussed the lack of wreaths.
Everyone agreed it would be a good idea to club together for an Ottery Veterans wreath – and what better way than to have a monthly breakfast?!
Our first breakfast was in February, then we met in April and May. The next breakfast coincides with the Ottery Food & Families Festival on June 1st.
The breakfast is for Veterans only and if you would like to join in, you will need to get in touch with Rob McGovern – message via Facebook please.
The Veterans Breakfast is on the first Sunday of the month. We meet at the Volunteer at 10.30.
It costs £10 for the breakfast of which £3 goes into the collection towards the wreath. As we grow we hope funds raised will also be able to support local Veterans in need.
We’re taking part in the Ottery St Mary Food & Families Festival Silent Auction.
The festival is a not-for-profit organisation and all profits are donated to local charitable organisations, including the food bank and children’s charities.
If you would like to bid on a meal for four please visit the auction website which goes live on 17th May:
Ottery St Mary Food & Families Festival Silent Auction
Bidding for the meal for four starts at £50, but we’d love to raise more – so dig deep!
All our meals are homecooked and absolutely delicious, and you can be sure of the warmest of welcomes.
Good luck with your bidding.
The Volunteer Inn welcomes you to our warm and friendly pub, which has been part of Ottery St Mary’s history since 1810.
