What diggerdowns likes about The Volunteer:
We had a fantastic evening at The Volunteer. The staff were friendly, the Guinness was excellent, and the live music was top-notch. It's a brilliant venue for a night out. View all feedback. What Curtis Lee doesn't like about The Volunteer:
It's OK if your foul mouthed and enjoy the company of people who can barely string a sentence together. Oh and the stench of second hand cigarette smoke in the side and entrance. Saw alot of builders cracks too unfortunately View all feedback.

Friendly staff and locals, reasonable prices and a pool table, sounds ideal.

The Volunteer in Honiton offers a charmingly laid-back atmosphere with friendly staff, great local beer selection, and live music. Despite some mixed experiences with locals and entrance policies, visitors find a warm welcome overall. With traditional pub features like skittles and dog-friendly vibes, this oldest remaining pub in Honiton has something for everyone. Whether enjoying a casual evening out or celebrating a special occasion like New Year's Eve, the team at The Volunteer goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Cheers to a proper West country welcome at this beloved local gem.
