The Volunteer was originally built to serve the former Wantage Road Station and the terminus of the Wantage Tramway. The tramway ran alongside the A338 until 1946, transporting goods and passengers into Wantage. The pub itself is a friendly, cheerful and well-run establishment that caters for all walks of life. The one big bar comfortably accommodates both drinkers and diners, however, under new ownership, The Volly now serves Real Ale again.
