This year, instead of a Valentine’s Day menu, we are offering a Valentine’s Week Specials Board from Monday 11th February.
Choose as you would normally, with no set price.
On Valentine’s Day itself, Thursday 14th February, we will give diners a free glass of Prosecco!
Join us at The Volunteer Inn for New Year’s Eve!
Join us for Ladies Night on Sunday, 10th June.
Fun make up demo and no doubt a drink or two!
Starts at 7.30pm
Come along and have a giggle!
Enjoy a three course meal with complimentary Prosecco on arrival.
Something for everyone; vegetarians, pesectarians and omnivores!
£35 per head
Please note you will need to book ahead and pre-order your meal.
Pop in to book, or give us a call on 01404 814060.
Welcome back Stiletto to the Volunteer!
A great excuse to come to the Volly on a Saturday night for a drink and a dance.
We’re delighted to welcome Joe Draper as our guest chef on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th July in the evening, and for Sunday lunch on 9th July.
Joe is our third guest chef, and like Robin Rea and Tim Maddams, committed to local sourcing and seasonal ingredients. We’re sure you’ll love his menu.
Tim is joining us again 30th June, 1st and 2nd July (lunchtime on Sunday).
This weekend’s menu:
“Locally sourced, freshly produced and simply served this collection of small plates is perfect for laid back dining. Simply choose a few dishes to share, or order as you go”
