The Old Volunteer - Carte

Great beer and food! The only problem was unlevel tables! The tables were that bad item's nearly fell on the floor.

The best beer garden I’ve ever visited.. Totally stunning! When the sun is shining it’s like being in Marbella Food is wonderful too

Wonderful lunch today, great service and fabulous atmosphere. We sat outside in the sunshine listening to the singer. Brilliant childrens area for our 1yr granddaughter she loved the ice cream van , thank you Voir le carte

The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great, with attentive staff. The only downside was that they wanted to charge us £50 to dine in one of the pods in the garden. We were not charged for this last year, so we don't think it's justified.

We reserved an outdoor seating area for birthday celebrations, I feel that £75 which is NOT refundable or redeemable is extortionate to reserve the table, this should be redeemed when paying the final bill as the food and drinks are very expensive in the first place.

Very disappointed. Bought some friends along to show how nice the place is outside the back. But then found out their are charges as to where you can and can't sit. So we were told we would not be allowed to sit in a pod as there is a £75 fee. There is an outside kitchen, but the menu is limited compared to the food menu inside. Overall a lovely atmosphere and a place with beautiful views, but too many rules and regulations in place for the seating and tables. No TV screens outside. Felt a bit too posh. Voir le carte

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...

Looked a good place for an early evening meal while travelling yesterday, menu looked good and reviews generally good so decided to stop and eat, what a waste of time. Walked from car park into the outside eating area, looked nice, staff member in bar cabin said we needed to go into restaurant for a proper welcome! Went to bar only to be ignored for several minutes while staff chatted to group of customers, if this is a real welcome then I wouldn't want them to be unwelcoming. Asked if we could have a meal outside, was advised that outside had a reduced menu, fair enough, the reduced menu was.......Pizza. Decided to look elsewhere, had a great meal from the full menu in a nice beer garden at...

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... Voir le carte
