Help Us Ramp Up the VOLLY!
We’re making some big changes at the Volunteer Tavern. The kitchen’s coming out to free up space for a ramp to improve access to the bar and the toilets for anyone using a wheelchair or mobility aid.
Right now, the layout makes it hard, or impossible, for some people to move through the space. We're fixing that.
This work will make the pub easier to get around, safer, and more welcoming for everyone.
💸 Where Your Money Goes
All donations will help cover the cost of:
Removing the kitchen
Building two permanent, compliant ramps
Improving general accessibility throughout the space.
🎁 What You Get
£10 donation – A big thank-you from us. You’re helping make this happen.
£30 donation – You’ll get an exclusive VOLLY t-shirt, designed just for this fundraiser.
£100 – You’ll get the t-shirt and your name written on the wall by the ramp as a permanent thank-you!
This is a practical project with a real, physical impact. We’re making changes to the building that will last - and we’re asking for your help to do it right.
Let’s get it done. Let’s ramp up the Volly!
You can now book our garden and the whole of the inside to host your own party or event!

What a lovely pub, popped in for Sunday lunch, I wanted the pork but can't tolerate garlic so couldn't have the porcetta. The chef cooked me pork belly instead, what a fabulous guy to go out of his way to do that, thank you so much. The food was amazing and delicious with big portions. my husband had the beef. Wonderful staff so friendly and helpful, a brilliant atmosphere. Well done guys!
