The Volunteer is a traditional 16th
Century English
pub, situated in a beautiful valley next to the
little hamlet of Sutton Abinger, near Dorking. Inside, the pub has
kept its original features such as the open fire and
exposed beams, but the neutral decor adds a light
and airy feel to the place. It's thought that the Volunteer
received
its name during the Napoleonic Wars - when soldiers signing
up for the war were given a Kings Shilling. The pub became the favourite place to volunteer
as you then got to spend your shilling on alcohol!
As a tribute to this there is a mural of Nick (the current landlord) wearing full Napoleonic dress
- quite a talking point! Today the Volunteer is popular
with walkers and mountain bikers alike, both drawn
to the surrounding hills and countryside. We are
also a popular weekend retreat for those working in
London during the week and are easily
accessible for tourists as we're situated just off
the A25 between Guildford and Dorking. Come
and enjoy a leisurely, tasty meal and a refreshing
drink at this attractive, country venue next time
you are in the area.
