I’m fairly regular at the Volley. The staff have always been friendly and professional. The locals are very friendly as well. Overall, it’s a welcoming pub for drinkers, eaters and families. I went with a mate on Saturday for ‘A Taste of Jamaica’. We both had the saltfish, jerk chicken with rice and pea, rum cake and a deliciously punchy rum punch. All this for £30 each! We’d not had saltfish before, so don’t have a point of reference. They were tasty dumpling/fritters with a good level of spice for me. We thought they were quite dense, which meant quite a filling starter. The jerk chicken was excellent! The closest version I’ve had in the UK to what I had in Jamaica! A generous portion of rice and pea, which neither of us could finish. The rum cake was moist, delicious and rummy. The rum punch was very rummy, which we both liked. I was excited to hear their plans to make this more of an event next year!

Always nice to go out for Sunday lunch and the one served here is rather special. Having previously sampled the Beef, excellent flavour and nicely pink, I opted for Chicken. An excellent choice, succulent, and full of flavour. To accompany are fantastic Rosemary and Garlic Roast Potatoes. A very good selection of vegetables which are cooked to still give some bite, all too often the Veg can be soggy, not here. To top it all is Tom's amazing Gravy, red wine and garlic, bags of flavour and a beautiful consistency. Portion size is also particularly good, certainly left me feeling full but not overly so. Great Beers and Wines to wash it down, served by friendly staff. Can't wait until the next time.

A Sunday Roast to Savour! My husband and I are regulars here, both for food and for drinks. Tom's Sunday roasts are fabulous! He normally cooks up roast beef (served medium to well done) and roast chicken, with good to large sized portions. We had the roast beef here a month or so ago (ours was served medium-rare, and we were provided with fairly thick slices that were tender and full of flavour), but decided to have the roast chicken here the Sunday before last. The chicken was nicely herbed and roasted, beautifully tasty and moist, served with a Yorkshire Pudding (nicely fluffy), chipolatas, cabbage and carrots, the carrots and cabbage both having some "bite" to them (hurrah, given that a lot of pubs seem to provide vegetables that have been cooked to death and are mush). In addition, there were roast parsnips and roast potatoes that had been seasoned with herbs. The roast potatoes are absolutely fab - soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. Tom's gravy has a real depth of flavour. If you haven't tried the Volly's roast Sunday lunches before, you are missing out.. The price is pretty good too, particularly given the portion size. The service is friendly and the atmosphere welcoming, not just from Tom and his staff, especially Hayden, but also from the regulars. The Volunteer has a brilliant back garden with plenty of seating which is nice to sit out in during the summer or better weather and ample car parking at the back. In the winter months, a warming log fire just adds to the attraction of a roast Sunday lunch.... Wendy R

This has been our favourite pub since moving to Theale. Very friendly staff, and warm atmosphere. It's great that they now do Sunday roasts. There's a good choice of meats, and their roast potatoes are the best (and plentiful). We also love their chicken wings, when we're not as hungry. As a bonus, the kids'menu is free at the weekend, and our son loves their sausage and chips. Get yourself there, but make sure you leave a table free for us.

Went here to meet a friend, its the first time ive been here in a long time. the place has ample parking and a large outdoor area that lends itself really well to a hot day, there isnt a large grass area for kids or dogs but that shouldnt affect the score. The seating outdoors was reasonably well kept and not your standard pub benches, which was a nice change from the standard pub garden. The outside was well kept and not particularly noisy being away from the road so was easy to converse. The interior was tidy, with a reasonably modern decor. The bar service was great, it wasnt particularly busy so and there were a couple bar staff on that were prompt and seemed to be mixing with the regulars.

A family lunch on a long motorway journey … On a 6 hour journey home from Cambridge to Pembrokeshire, we decided we could all do with a pit stop and some food. I made a quick decision to come here due to reviews and convenient location, we called ahead as we have a dog to check she would be welcome … Welcome is an understatement, every one was lovely and chatty and fussed our dog. All the gentlemen sat in the bar area having their Sunday afternoon pint were welcoming to her and us (I’m from at David’s and know what residents can be like there). Hayden the young man behind the bar was so welcoming and last but not least the food was great! I didn’t have a chance to snap the other meals as they were so quickly tucked into. And Nancy (our dog) had some biscuits too Oh and one final thing - I commented how cute the mini milk jug was and was given one by Hayden to take home … this will be our stop of choice along the M4 in future 💖

Not to forget the nice variety of Fuller's ales and lagers on tap! Spacious parking in rear too.

The Volunteer is a pretty country pub. The garden was in gorgeous bloom with hanging baskets and the like. The staff were very welcoming and we felt right at home. I ordered a pint of London Pride and my wife had a diet coke. For lunch we had a burger in a basket and a Ploughman's. The price and the portion sizes were very acceptable for lunchtime. Overall, a very pleasent experience and I would recommend The Volunteer for a visit.

The Volunteer is a traditional pub in the heart of Theale, Berkshire. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with exposed brickwork and a traditional fireplace. The menu features a wide variety of pub classics, as well as some more modern dishes. We started our meal with sticky pigs in blankets. These were perfectly cooked and the sausages were juicy and flavorful. For our main courses, I had the chicken curry and my partner had the steak and ale pie. Both dishes were delicious. The chicken curry was rich and flavorful, and the steak and ale pie was hearty and filling. The service at The Volunteer was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the selection of beers on tap. Overall, we had a great experience at The Volunteer. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We would definitely recommend this pub to anyone looking for a great meal in Theale. Here are some additional details about the dishes we ordered: * Sticky pigs in blankets: These were made with pork sausages wrapped in bacon and cooked until golden brown. * Chicken curry: This was a rich and flavorful curry made with chicken, onions, peppers, and spices. It was served with rice and naan bread. * Steak and ale pie: This was a hearty and filling pie made with steak, onions, mushrooms, and ale. It was served with fries and peas. Polly our waitress was very friendly and helpful, she is a credit to the pub. Great atmosphere.

I visited early on Friday evening with my wife and daughter with the view to having a meal. The bar was busy so I waited for my turn only for the barman to shout over to a local who just walked in asking what he wanted, I ignored this and carried on waiting. Then as he was serving the new arrival the barman then cycled through all the other locals near the bar also asking them if they wanted anything. I got the message and I left with my family and went to the West Berkshire Brewery where we had a really nice three course meal with excellent service. There's plenty of choice in the area so there's no need to put up with being treated poorly.

I organised a party for my wife’s birthday and expected to have a nice time with 20 odd guests including toddler children joining us. While the food and hospitality was great, Unfortunately I was never informed that there would be a vintage car display in the same outdoor area which overlooks the car park. Some of the car patrons were not very happy to see kids running around their cars, perhaps with reason, but one of them was downright rude with ‘I don’t want to see your child’s dirty hands on my car’ (racist? Many of us were Indian). While, I appreciate that nothing else happened and the pub was great on what was a lovely day for us, I would have probably liked it if I was told about this in advance for me to replan - for perhaps some other establishments which I know from experience are more welcoming of younger guests esp with other events going on at the same time. I don’t see any reason for me to go back to the volunteer anytime soon. Thanks!

Went here for lunch 15th Feb 2022. Staff very friendly. For Starters ordered Soup and for Main i ordered Mac'Cheese Lunch with Chicken pieces. Companion did not want a Starter and chose Vegetarian Burger for her Main. All the food came together which we found odd. May be we should not have assumed that Starter would come before the Main. Soup was Tomato. My Main was extremely good. Companion Veggie Burger was cooked, but stone cold. The chips were hot and crisp though. I did suggest sending it back to be re-heated but she never sends food back in any restaurant. We will visit again and if ordering Starters or Desserts will ask them to be served before/after our Main to avoid confusion.

We selected this place on the basis of its website menu, only to find it wasn’t up to date and some vital things were not on offer. I am a pescatarian and the only fish on offer was in batter. Eventually, the cook was prepared to pan fry some fish for me and it was very pleasant, especially the sauce. The vegetables were too al dente, but that seems to be commonplace nowadays. Two of out party ordered roast beef. What appeared were steaks which were either a slice off the horns or so tough as to be almost inedible. We had to ask for Steak knives and horseradish sauce which should have been automatic. We also had to ask for other cutlery and condiments. The staff were very friendly but not very switched on. The roast potatoes might have looked at the fat but otherwise could have passed for boiled potatoes. My husband had to leave his steak as it was too tough to chew. The dessert was a generous helping of cheesecake but, again, the biscuit base was very tough and required extra cutlery which had to be requested. The coffee was a muddle. Weak latte was requested and strong black coffee appeared. My husband likes strong coffee but mine was too strong for him and I like coffee as weak as is humanly possible. Seeing that the prices were £1- £2 more expensive than other local pubs, I considered we got a bad deal and we won’t be going there again.

We went here with the kids, dogs and Grandad. The food was good, they offered a range to suit all tastes, the also offered to adapt the meals to cater for a little one who is a bit choosy. The dogs give it a paws up also as the chef gave them some ham!

Went for lunch on Saturday and not too busy, able to find a table easily. A good range for food and drinks at the bar. Very nice puddings especially! Service was minimal to serving. Table very sticky though. The general atmosphere very friendly and welcoming.
