The Volunteer appears in William Mitchel's map of 1720 as ‘The Vicarage of the old village of Plumstead’. Rebuilt as a purpose built pub, now it is a well proportioned public house consisting of a single bar over the ground floor. It has a pole mounted pub sign located in the middle of the pavement. There is a smoking area to the rear along with a large south facing garden. Pool table dominates the rear bar area. Darts is popular here and a 5s board is sometimes in use. Fortnightly Friday quiz night. Refurbished 2015/6. 3 handpumps on the bar counter.
