Lovely pub in the heart of Otter St Mary. We were lunch htime pop ins and had a faultless, excellent meal plus drinks. Good range of beers both from pumps and directly from the stack of barrels behind the bar. Heroic effort Daisy! Thank you, you're a star!

Good selection of beer, kept well in kegs behind the bar. Food was OK and we felt not as good as when we went two years ago. We went with a medium sized group (9) and were asked to phone the order through in advance, which was fine and we did that. Food seemed to have been sitting in a warmer for a while and so served promptly but a bit below par. Not ideal for a steak ordered to be medium rare. Good beer helped though ..

After driving past this all week, thinking it was closed as the front door was always closed, we called in tonight as we saw someone outside smoking. Lovely pub! Shame we only found it tonight! Lots of real ales on, in good nick too! Food looks great too!

This is a vibrant locals pub which serves large portions of good food. It was good to see locals eating in the pub which is a recommendation itself. Zoe looked after us she is approachable and not standoff which is a change. We would recommend.

We went here by accident because of another pub that had disgraceful service, anyway, The Volunteer, fit us in straight away and the service from the start was absolutely fantastic. The food was something else. We had roast dinners and they were superb, full of meat too! Will not go anywhere else now. Best meal I have had in a long time. To top it off we got to meet the owners and they were lovely too. Great work and well done to all. Keep up the fantastic work. 👏
