The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer

Visited The Volley with a large group of friends for a Christmas Party meal, and had a thoroughly good experience. The menu was cleverly thought out, and the food was faultless. Really, really good quality, well presented and delicious. Good value also! It was further enhanced by complementary canapés before the meal, and mince pies to finish. We enjoyed: anchovy and caviar crostini whipped parmesan cups lamb and giant couscous salad beetroot risotto with goats cheese truffles Jerusalem artichoke soup with crusty bread Lamb steak with parsnip purée, wilted greens and new potatoes Hereford beef with roasted veg, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes Dark chocolate tart Mini mince pies The rest...

Went here on Sunday just gone as ive heard many good things about it. You can get your roasts with all the trimmings or the full monty, the triple roast which ive ordered. 3 kinds of meat, pork, lamb and beef with roast potatoes, parsnip puree, braised kale, carrots and a yorkshire. Food was excellent, the only thing i could criticise would be no crackling on the pork. Potatoes were fluffy, yorkies crispy, delicious gravy, a complete absence of any frozen produce. Cheese board for dessert, delicious as well. Excellent choice of beers, every ale lovers dream come true, friendly staff.

This is a fabulous place. An outstanding selection of interesting beers, very good food, and a nice interior. Convenient location on King Street together with a collection of other drinking and eating establishments most of which are surely also worth visiting. Of course there are some longing for a more traditional, grimey British pub (just check out some other reviews) and there is something to be said for those, but I think the owners have taken a great approach to a more modern pub. Oh, and check out the men's bathroom; I will attach a picture for the 50% of you who are not supposed to go there.

Hard to tell from the outside, but once you get in it is quite a big bar that is very cozy and has big tables as well as nice booths. Lots of tvs to watch Sky Sports if you are a sports fan. You can order off of an app which is great and they have a very clear beer menu (many vegan) on the wall. We didn't eat but it also looked like they had a very nice sunday lunch with big portions. We could have sat here for hours.

The place is huge, and navigating the different rooms is a bit daunting. The vibe is great, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. None of the beers really impressed me (I had 5 different pints) but they were fine. We didn't eat, but the food looked great. Solid choice.
