Built in 1866, the Volunteer is one of the smallest pubs on the island. A past winner of local CAMRA Pub of the Year. Up to five beers available including a local brew. No chips, no children, no fruit machines, no video games - just a pure adult drinking house and one of the few places where you can still play Rings and enjoy a traditional games night. Currently closed on Mondays. The Volunteer has now been thoroughly ''Perked'' and is a little and interesting gem.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
A late Victorian terraced pub with a traditional layout of two small rooms and former off-sales in between, with original access off an outside corridor. The counter fronts and back fittings were replaced in the 1980s and a new pot-shelf fitted. In the front bar there is half-height panelling on most walls, recently painted a pastel shade and an old tiled fireplace with a wooden surround, also recently painted. The rear bar is plain and simple with etched and frosted panels on the gents' door. The traditional pub game of rings is played here and Ventnor is the only town in the UK still with a league
