The Volunteer in Trafford

Friendly welcome, cheap ale. Very much a local blokes boozer.

Great pub, with a brilliant atmosphere. Cheap drinks, very welcoming.

Saw the George Michael tribute and Elton John. But the Blondie tribute was excellent 👏

Great people great prices old traditional boozer

Cheapest place for a beer, great tvs, sports area 👌

Awful watch out for Danny the drunk

Friendly staff, cheap drinks and a nice chilled atmosphere. Pub has 4 dart boards and a pool table (Pool free on Thursdays!) Great local pub!

Great atmosphere. Free music friendly staff

Called in on way past busy night with dj on everybody seemed happy and enjoying the evening.

Fantastic night out. Very friendly staff

Enjoyed the evening it was great atmosphere ,along with great entertainment

Fabulous night, crackin DJ, friendlystaff team & safe setting. Will definitely return.

Went there at last Saturdays welcoming party best night I've had in Sale for ages place was packed everybody was friendly great atmosphere & no idiots good DJ great landlord & staff!

Went before the new landlord/lanlady came in but at the time it was minging and filthy - The dirtiest smelliest mens toilets ever encountered paint peeling off the walls, dirty bar, cig dimps littered all over the front door - Awful

New landlord October 2023. Now a proper United pub. £2.85 for a good pint of Holts.

Lovely pub for a quiet pint and the sports. 10/10

New landlady Emma, very nice lady. Good pint of Holts, then was on their lager as they changed the bitter barrel, nice and spacey pub and if its sunny plenty space in rear beer garden. Recommended. Bit far for me but when I'm in the area...

Fabulous old style pub with lovely dark mild.

Great old school pub at old school prices. Awesome jukebox and barman is a blinder

One of the best pints in Sale 🙌

This is a real smashing pub that I have drunk in many times. The locals are friendly and the pub does a cracking pint of mild which is hard to get hold of these days. Highly recommended

A quiet drinkers pub where you can have a conversation and hear other people. No crowds no kids no food. Lovely

Decent range of beers and WiFi perhaps the cheapest Holts beer in Manchester. Staff are very good

Nipped in for a quick beer after arriving too early to meet my mates. Relaxed for 30mins with a beautiful pint of black. ( dark mild ) Cheap beer £2.70 What a great price. Pity I was meeting my mates in another pub in Sale. Still got great options in Eccles were I live for another pint of black. ( others HOLTS beers are cheap and great to drink as well but black is my favourite. )

Good service and generally a nice pub

Good place to watch football but not a very good wine selection

Now under new management, great looking pub outside, very welcoming and friendly staff, beers great, loads of choice, loads of room for social distancing, live sports tv, open mic nights, and most importantly great atmosphere, a must if your in the area.

Old school pub , A real drinkers pub

Amazing they had no beer last night

I was only there to recover a broken down van but I have been in there in the past and it is s very nice pub

Olde fashioned working man's Holt's pub serving a good pint of bitter and Not ripping you off like some pubs we could mention 😀

quiet but always friendly place

Proper booze. Not for the faint hearted.

Only went in once very friendly staff

Great atmosphere with great staff and especially the landlady Rebecca.

Good company, safe and sound inside

Great cheap friendly pub. Popped in a Saturday evening when the entertainment act were half way through their first set. Pretty good singers and were good entertainers too. Saw a poster near to where we sat behind the stage which informs of live acts every Saturday here. It's a Holt's pub, if you've been before you'll know great value and their typical line up of own brewed beers

Great friendly staff and a good pint and food is lovely

Welcoming. Comfy. The food tastes great.

Proper old style pub. Dart board and pool table. Great prices.

Nice atmosphere, but it was a funeral wake so difficult to judge

Top class pub great staff lovely beer highly recommended Will go there again

We had a nice couple of drinks here. The barman was friendly and so were the locals. The beers were great and excellent value. The pub had a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely time it was a friends birthday. Landlady let us bring a birthday cake even gave us serviettes and sat with us it was lovely

It's an old style pub. Cheap drinks, pool, sports on TV. Good if you want to chill, not if you want a proper night out

Loving the 2 for a fiver ciders.

THE VOLUNTEER IS A VERY NICE PUB VERY VERY CLEAN THE BEERS ARE VERY CHEEP THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL IT IS WORTH TRYING IT OUT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED. I WILL GO AGAIN .

Lovely landlord and landlady they make you feel welcome and they have a great DJ also have an artist every month.

Lovely welcoming pub. Staff nice and landlady very good and runs a great pub

Friendly pub with good atmosphere, great to watch sport as well

Karaoke on Saturday night was fun and the staff were very accommodating to our private party and had provided buffet food for us. There is a pool table, a dart board and a jukebox. The toilets were clean. They have live music on which is advertised well throughout the pub itself.

Holts pub so very easy on the wallet. Also good to see a Newcastle United Crest on a wall so near to Old Trafford. My mate was driving so only had the one but was a nice old fashioned pub

Just an old fashioned pub, brilliant

Very pleasant staff n great management good beer too!!😃

great night and atmosphere. the artist was brilliant. drank diamond lager also excellent

We played competition pool at the Volunteer. Great lads, lovely landlady, great pub.

Landlord is a paranoid thick idiot who accuses young kids of doing drugs if they so much as put some Vaseline on. Wouldn’t bother going unless u want to be persecuted for nothing.

Karaoke on saturday night. Brilliant, couldn't find a better atmosphere. Love it, out with friends as usual and always enjoy ourselves.

Friendly bar staff & atmosphere

Traditional Holts pub. Wonderful bitter at £2.15 a pint. A warm, friendly welcome from excellent landlady and her husband. Great food during the day at unbelievable cheap prices. I wish there were more old fashioned pubs like this.

friendly staff and the beer was kept in good condition the prices are very low all in all an excellent place to visit

Rudest staff I've ever come across, if your not a regular don't bother made to feel uncomfortable.

Great pub and very friendly darts team, love playing them whilst playing for the steamhouse

Classic English pub, great service, nice Sunday roast very affordable

Great landlady and proper people

Older style pub with great staff,landlady is always friendly to and all very helpful, we had 3 Sunday dinners, 3 deserts and 3 drinks, which were really nice and coming to under £20 pound for the lot. Hidden little gem, will be definitely returning again.

Really good pub amazing beer and people food is really good and good value for money would recommend it's clean and the beer is well kept and staff so nice and help full

Debby & Eddy make you feel so welcome. Great atmosphere and you must try Debby's Sunday Lunch....home cooking at its best, at a fabulous price for 2 courses. Check it out and see for yourself. Lovely pub with great staff!

Great Pub.. Good staff.. Great Landlady.. Food is excellent and great value for money.. Well worth a visit.

Great friendly old fashioned public house

Really making an effort to be a good pub, good beer and cheap

Very rude landlady some likely lads propping var

He manners of the staff are something to be disired so rude when I was waiting for my friend outside their premises never ever going back

No customer service skills behind the bar whatsoever. Very rude and condescending. Unsatisfied with this experience

Traditional Joseph Holt owned pub on the northern fringe of Sale town centre. Large building with two games rooms or areas divided by seating - one for pool, the other for darts. To the left of the bar is a raised seating area that acts as the lounge. Spacious and well run. Filled rolls are available for those with a hunger. Impressive Victorian structure that is worthy of a visit.

Nice place, nice staff. Let down by gents toilets covered in black mould...

fantastic people,good music fantastic dj with a good singing voice. very friendly. lovely landlord and landlady. best pub in sale always made welcome

Me and Husband called in Volunteer Pub Sale for a beer. Do not take book by it's cover, Nice welcome from Landlady beer was served by pleasant staff, We noticed they served Sunday Lunch, So we went a couple of weeks later we had Lamb dinner delicious and served with 4 veg, and I would give it 9/10 ..since then the family have been and love the food,dinner and breakfast,they find the value fantastic

Relaxed friendly atmosphere, good selection of drinks and live entertainment.

Great fun old style english pub. Nice pool table and a great dart board setup.

Very quiet funky smell in the gents toilet problem with drainage?? Good selection of beers wine and spirits all reasonably priced also good quality food served every afternoon usually 2 or 3 courses

Amazing landlady Debby great atmosphere great nights fabulous homemade food no boil in the bags here fresh local allotment veg yummy homemade puddings to die for

Great Sunday Lunch Get There Early

The owners are very nice. Landlady was great when she served us and had a good sense of humour. Double your spirits on Gin and Tonics for a £1 (this offer may be on other drinks too). A traditional pub that reminds me of the places I used to go for that proper pub experience in my university days. Clean but some elements could do with a refurb - but would that refurb lose some of its charm?

Top pub. Best pint of Holts' bitter in Manchester.

the dinner was lovely but the potatoes were like rocks i'm surprised my teeth are still in one piece :(

Great local, good beer, fantastic hosts, made us very welcome.

Best pub in sale .Staff second to none , Beer ! Joseph Jolts best ever! Keep smiling and watch the road on the way home.

Traditional pub with friendly staff, great food, great friendly atmosphere. Saturday night dj/disco/karaoke are fun and enjoyable

enjoyed a few pints of mild in this cracking pub--the beer was well kept --has this place been done up recently ?---maybe the brewery are spending some money on their stock of pubs as this is the third I've been in that's had facelift

We've been here twice now gigging & both times have been great, the landlady & landlord are both very welcoming & the people are really nice we have loved giggling her both times & will hopefully be back soon!! Everyone from Strike 3 live band..

Sometimes people touch me in here

Excellent place, great value for money food and drink. The landlady's husband is an enormous Scottish man, must weigh at least 30 stone, but by God can that man cuddle. Will be back for more.

Friendly staff, excellent atmosphere and great value for money.

One of my favourite pubs in Manchester. Brilliant atmosphere and fantastic beer. The staff are helpful and friendly with the toileta being clean.

Great pubby pub, not many left, cheap as well!!

Fantastic saturday night lovely staff and friendly people

Ten minute walk from Travelodge. Beer good. Staff friendly.Does food,didn't try it. Bolts bitter £2.40 pt. Wots not to like

Good value for money and very nice landlady and staff. Lovely food at a great price. Nice atmosphere and lots going on at the evening time - Darts, Pool, Quiz night, Karaoke, and Sunday afternoon music.

As good as Holts gets. Just don't expect a party atmosphere.
