The Old Volunteer - Menu

we hadn't eaten here yet and wanted a cooked lunch. the service was friendly and efficient, there is a dog-friendly antidote suitable to dinate. we have different flavors that my wife very enjoyed the vegetarian fish chips;,' while I found the playpate followed by the boiled hate to be first class. the chef is a culinary artist. we will visit again.

I just don't know where to start! the service, eating and decor is like nothing that would be expected from a pub/restaurant in a quiet part of the country! After the renovation and the new management it is now my favourite place to eat in nottinghamshire! the chefs there have brought amazing culinary experience in caythorpe with a modern yet relaxed twist. it is not pretentious at all and really meets the brand! five stars!

the whole experience in this beautiful restaurant was amazing from beginning to end! the personal was fantastic and eating was absolutely sensational. the dessert was so good, I ordered it again! will definitely go back! I would like to give them a very special thanks to the chef chef hira thakur, who went beyond and beyond, with all our nutritional requirements and the guarantee of the birthday surprise of my mother was a great success!

this is really a great pub, whether they are looking for a delicious Sunday dinner with the family, a romantic meal for two, a refreshing drink after a long dog walk or best of all they throw a great party! this place ensures every eventuality and always delivers. I had my 50th party here in this summer and the team did a great job. it was perfect in every sight. great staff, great eating in a beautiful location. a great selection of gin too! keeps the good workers up.

Was recommended this by friends as they found it brilliant. Upon arrival wasn’t greeted professionally, there you go. Football was on out side very busy and nice to see people enjoying Waitress had slight chip on her shoulder bit offish. Ordered green and black olives for the table only green arrived ha, main meals were only just average, mine not brilliant edible though, this is supposed to be Al a carte, far short of that. Carpet area where we sat food on the floor , mucky mirror, not acceptable. Didn’t bother with sweet due to the above. When bill came had a 10% service charge added £16, asked for it to be removed as didn’t think we received any. Such a shame as looks like the business ha...

We have always enjoyed dining at the Old Vol, but our recent experience was disappointing. My partner, our 1-year-old, and I went for Sunday lunch and were seated in the garden due to the nice weather. Unfortunately, the English weather took a turn for the worse and it started raining heavily while our food had just been served. Despite the empty pods, we were not allowed to move inside to finish our meal. As a result, our food was ruined by the rain and our young child was upset. Upon paying, we were surprised to see a service charge added to our bill, even though we were unable to finish our meal properly. We reached out to the restaurant via email but have not received a response. This ex...

This is maybe our 6th or 7th visit to the Old Vol. it has always been good with imaginative food and delightful staff. Today however a couple of things annoyed. We ordered some olives as a prestarter and they never turned up ……but were on the bill. The croutons which came with the Caesar salad were like cannonballs. Inedible and plentiful which ruined two of the five meals. Although it sounds somewhat trivial, the issue is that when mentioning this, there was no apology and no effort to respond. Staff are trained to ask if all was good with the food….but don’t seem to have the wherewithal to deal with a small but significant complaint. Left feeling that whilst the food is overall good albeit...

First time we have visited this restaurant, we booked a table and on the first impression it looked lovely, we chose a starter and main course, when the starter come it was fairly nice but nothing spectacular, we ordered the chateaubriand at a cost of £85 which was for 2 people which celebrating a special occasion we accepted; when the main meal come out it was slightly disappointing the chips where like very standard frozen oven chips from Iceland and the steak was very basic, I’ve had a lot better for a lot less; the most disappointing bit of the night was the very basic trained staff, not once through the night did we get asked if the meal was cooked fine or to satisfaction ,! When the st...

Beautiful setting and lovely outdoor venue, unfortunately though there was a few mistakes that has tainted our visit. 1. We decided which pizza to have but when it came to order half the pizzas we wanted weren’t available as apparently we were given the wrong menus. 2. 1 portion of chips didn’t arrive 3. Went to the bar to order 2 cocktails for £16 the barman then tried to charge us £20 4. After we paid the bill and all added at least £1 extra the waiter then came over and said we still owed £4. After getting the itemised bill the chips were more expensive than they were on the menu as were the pizzas. The excuse we got was that there’s a different price for indoor and outdoor, which is ridi...
