About Volunteer Arms
Alright, so you're looking for a proper local boozer in the town centre? Give the Volunteer Arms a go. It's got a perfect 5.0 rating on Google, though mind you, that's only from a couple of reviews so far, so don't take it as gospel. But I reckon it's a decent spot.
It's got that proper pub feel, you know? Not one of those fancy cocktail places, just a good, honest pub. They've got outdoor seating which is a bonus when the sun's out, and they're open every day from 12pm to 10:30pm, so you can always pop in for a pint. Plus, they're dog-friendly, which is always a win if you're walking the pooch.
I wouldn't expect anything too wild here, more of a place to catch up with mates or watch the match on the telly. It's not trying to be something it isn't, and that's what I like about it. A solid choice if you're after a relaxed atmosphere.
Just a heads up, it can get a bit busy on weekends, especially if there's a game on. So get there early if you want a good seat.
