After driving past this all week, thinking it was closed as the front door was always closed, we called in tonight as we saw someone outside smoking. Lovely pub! Shame we only found it tonight! Lots of real ales on, in good nick too! Food looks great too!
We went here by accident because of another pub that had disgraceful service, anyway, The Volunteer, fit us in straight away and the service from the start was absolutely fantastic. The food was something else. We had roast dinners and they were superb, full of meat too! Will not go anywhere else now. Best meal I have had in a long time. To top it off we got to meet the owners and they were lovely too. Great work and well done to all. Keep up the fantastic work. 👏

Good selection of beer, kept well in kegs behind the bar. Food was OK and we felt not as good as when we went two years ago. We went with a medium sized group (9) and were asked to phone the order through in advance, which was fine and we did that. Food seemed to have been sitting in a warmer for a while and so served promptly but a bit below par. Not ideal for a steak ordered to be medium rare. Good beer helped though ..
Lovely pub in the heart of Otter St Mary. We were lunch htime pop ins and had a faultless, excellent meal plus drinks. Good range of beers both from pumps and directly from the stack of barrels behind the bar. Heroic effort Daisy! Thank you, you're a star!
This is a vibrant locals pub which serves large portions of good food. It was good to see locals eating in the pub which is a recommendation itself. Zoe looked after us she is approachable and not standoff which is a change. We would recommend.
Friendly welcome and helpful service. Excellent Sunday roast. Parking nearby can be tricky also no downstairs/ disabled toilet.
We eat out a lot, but this was the best Sunday lunch we’ve had for a very long time
The staff were smiling and helpful. Good GF menu
Lunchtime meal, just passing through ottery St mary. On route from Cornwall to Southampton. Friendly welcoming staff. Good food. Freshly cooked.
Lovely pub in the middle of town. Not tried the food yet but smells great everytime I'm in.
Great little pub, friendly and helpful staff, lovely food and bitter straight from the barrel .

A1 service from booking until leaving. Gorgeous food, fantastic staff, attentive and very friendly.
Food was amazing, definitely a must try.
Thank you for making our Easter Sunday a good one.
Most excellent! Outstanding Otter Bitter and a lovely meal all presented and served with great attention to detail. The chicken was superb and beef burger delicious! Loved the complimentary home made end of meal chocolate taster. So good I couldn't find a reason not to tip. A very rare occasion indeed! Highly recommended and we will certainly return.
An absolutely shining star in the middle of the village. Service was impeccable, food stunning and very reasonably priced. A must do!
Brilliant local pub in Ottery St Mary. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, dog friendly. Barnaby was a top lad and was great with our 1 year old and dog. Highly recommend the local lager on tap, Tarka, from the Otter Brewery up the road.
Enjoyed a fabulous seabass for lunch, absolutely delicious. Traditional pub at the front - and at the back is a lovely, modern, bright dining area.
Yet another great meal today. Jacqui never disappoints. Chips made from real potatoes not reconstituted fries, what else do you want. The staff were lovely as usual and good luck to Lilly in her new job.
Lovely little pub, very friendly staff. Beautiful food!
Great beer served from huge barrels behind the bar. Good cider, too. We had lunch and it was really lovely food. I had a chicken and bacon salad- fresh cooked chicken breast with crispy skin on and crispy smoked bacon. Salad dressed well with vinaigrette and a flower on top. Very pretty. My husband had a melted chees and chutney baguette which he said was lovely. Great service and not too over-priced. Would go out of my way to come again..
Food is amazing been a couple times for a meal and never had bad food. The price is really fair. Would recommend.
