The Volunteer Inn in West Dorset

Would recommend highly. We had an amazing Sunday lunch here and the service was great 👍

Clean and tidy, staff good fish and chips were taste, fish pie was nice even though the sauce had split, I should have mentioned it, but I enjoyed the meal , good fish nicely done. Good Cider too

Great little pub,first time there.. would recommend..be going back soon

Very nice, good pint, good company 👍..Next time maybe have something to eat, if we have more time.

Friendly and characterful pub at the top end of the short high street.The beer was nice, and there was a good selection on offer.The kitchen was closed during our visit (over the New Year period).

Great pub with nice food and friendly atmosphere in a great location. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in lym Regis

Fantastic if your a local apparently.I'd like to start by saying that I've loved this bar for many years and whenever myself and the family have visited Lyme we have always popped in for pint. We've always found the atmosphere welcoming and the staff incredibly pleasant we loved the rustic/ close feel of the bar and the friendly staff.Unfortunately just now we have had a terrible experience (21/11/21).We entered the bar to find it completely empty with every table reserved. The female bar staff was lovely and welcoming. We said we would only like one drink before we headed home and the staff member agreed so we sat down at a table.After ordering our drinks and settling down the bar manager loudly rebuked the staff member for allowing us to sit at a locals only table and they reserve the tables for locals only not visitors.Some locals did come in and sit at the bar. I must say the atmosphere we received from the manager and locals was so hostile. I feel so sorry for the female staff member to be so loudly and publicly shouted at, she apologised to us.Again another couple came in for a drink to be told they can't sit anywhere and should be sitting next door because that's for non-locals and food.We were made to feel very unwelcome by both the manager and locals.I'm sorry to say this has tarred our many fantastic experiences at this pub.

We had a lovely evening. The food was delicious but note there are no starters or puddings on offer. The two girls behind the bar were really friendly and fun and we will eat there again when we are next in Lyme Regis

Popped in for a quick late lunch. Very friendly chap who served us and the food was lovely. I had the crab bruschetta which was very tasty. Cosy atmosphere and all very clean and nicely decorated

Squeezed this family of 4 (+hound) in on a busy Thursday. Food was very good pub fayre. Beer well kept & atmosphere welcoming and hospitable. Would definately return when next in Lyme Regis.
