Volunteer in Marylebone, London Pub Review and Details
drinks
Just a few doors down from 221b, you'd expect The Volunteer to be a pub in honour of Conan Doyle's detective.
A few years back when we first reviewed this one, we had it pigeon holed as 'a seemingly nondescript pub' and though it still has an unassuming exterior, the inside has been altered to something rather more extravagant.
All leather settles and beaded curtains, this pub is one of the growing number owned by the Mitchells and Butlers group that opts for a loungey d�cor and a drink selection heavy on the Belgian beers.
But the more we visit places like the Volunteer, with their ever-so slightly contrived feel (M&B also own the All Bar One, O'Neill's and Scream chains), the more we're sensing some clever branding and marketing at work.
We've not got a problem with the quality food and drink it's just the thought of a massive warehouse filled with beaded curtains and leather pouffes (� la the O'Neill's sheds ready to dispatch potato sacks and road signs to bars from Buenos Aires to Beijing) that gives us the fear.

food
The Volunteer is a friendly, traditional, village pub with a large open fire and a warm welcome.
It has a large and pretty garden and serves excellent fresh, locally sourced, home-cooked food, (check out our daily specials), and fantastic real ales.
Everyone is made to feel at home and customers can choose to eat either inside, or in good weather, in our garden.
Even our four-legged friends are welcome, with doggie biscuits available at the bar for free.

The Volunteer is a lovely pub located right near the top end of Baker Street, perfect walking distance to both the Sherlock Holmes museum and Regents Park.
Aiming to deliver an exceptional experience, they brand themselves as not being just a normal pub, but are determined to embrace a unique take on character.
With a modern take on the traditional pub, the venue is light and airy, due to large windows letting in plenty of natural light.
Specialising in traditional British pub food but with a modern twist.
Perfect for anyone at any occasion; after work drinks, or after a relaxed day at the museum and stroll in the park.
