The Volunteer - Dorking

On the way back from a walk in the hills of surrey. beautiful charming little pub with quirky decor and an open fire. really good eating menu with much to choose, I had a chicken ranch burger and I was not disappointed the size of it! with a huge part of the fraught 3x what they would get in the rule in a pub. my kerl had a pizza and dirty pommes and he was equally impressed good portions and tasted excellent. personal nice, polite and informative. beer was a beautiful drop, the usual selection that they expect from a h

Beautiful land pub with large garden (and good intention), a little stream through. arty decor inside with really good value eating. friendly staff and very dog friendly (our dogs were offered today fried beef). come back.

We enjoyed our meal but the early lunch-time booking meant we were the only people in the pub restaurant eating for most of the time. Nonetheless the baked camembert, king prawns and steak and kidney pudding were all good. We have used this restaurant previously but on this occasion we felt the Volunteer was only just getting back in to the swing of things after the various Covid lockdown challenges. In our recollection the menu choices were significantly reduced from previous occasions. However, their range of draught beers is still impressive for a small village pub.

Pretty pub in gorgeous area, we found it rather expensive for pub food but having said that it was decent food and the staff were friendly.

Excellent location with plenty of space inside and out, friendly staff and great food.
