THE VOLUNTEER, Reading

The food is pretty good, the staff listens to feedback about the food and does take special orders. Good selection of drinks and decent prices. Great outdoor area for bringing your dog or for getting a bit of sunshine.

Great food

visited last Sunday and had roast dinners, 1 beef and 1 lamb. THese were amazing and the best that we have found in theale and we have tried a few. Was so good that we went back tonight. The 40% off is a fab deal...and we took advantage of it ordering calamari, chicken wings and nachos, big portion of chicken wings, calamari was cooked just right and nice cheesy nachos. You literally could not fault it. Was even given a bowl of hot water and lemon for washing hands after eating the wings. Wonderful value for money (even without the discount during the week) Staff are friendly and welcoming and the pub is always clean. We will definitely be going back to try some more items from their menu as the home made pizzas look lush! Thank you!More

It makes all the effort worthwhile when we see comments like yours. It's been difficult for everyone these last few months but when we were able to reopen we were determined to come back with all guns blazing hence some new promotions and menu ideas...More

Great local pub. Fantastic friendly staff. New manager

Great local pub. Chilled atmosphere good for a quick beer with your mates or a full evening out with your other half or the family. The new manager Tom has made this a great place to have a beer and a meal. Not a small...task this summer. Menu is small but perfectly formed. Not Michelin food but tasty and well executed. Really good value. The pub has a great selection of beers and gins. Loving the refurbished interior. Say Hi to Sam the fab barman and enjoy a relaxed evening. They do put on local music some evenings which is worth looking out for.More

What a return!

Just had the most amazing chicken curry! Husband had the coconut chicken salad and he really loved that too. Planned to go elsewhere but they couldn’t fit us in for food. Well their loss was certainly our gain! This used to be our local but...we haven’t been for ages - we’ll certainly be back again soon! The renovations look great, the welcome is friendly and the food is fantastic! What more could we want?!More

Welcome back! They did a great job of the refurb and transformed the feel of the pub. It took a while but we finally found a super chef who has created a new menu with lots of vegan options and the pizzas, a new addition...More

Friendly Staff and Great Food

The Volunteer is a great pub in Theale, the staff are friendly and accommodating - definitely recommend if you're in Theale. The atmosphere is chilled and it has a great outside garden with well groomed flowers and comfortable seating.
