TRADITIONAL FOOD, DRINK AND HOSPITALITY IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC BRISTOL

Offers a friendly welcome from proprietors David Lee and Sue Lee-Lovell.

Locally Known As The Volley Or The Naval

The Famous Royal Naval Volunteer is a gem of a pub set in a wide cobbled street which retains many charming 17th Century buildings. Inside are panelled rooms, cosy oak furniture and ancient fireplaces. The atmosphere of the old port of Bristol is vivid inside the bar and parlour. It is easy to imagine sailors and stevedores exchanging tales of far away countries, wars, pirates and hardships endured.

You have a choice of 5 real ales from an assortment of brewers local and as far a field as Scotland. These real ales are changed regularly and are supplied from the best real ale brewers you can get, Cotliegh, Moors, Bath Ales, Smiles.

The Naval Volunteer dates from the seventeenth century and was the house in which John Elbridge who founded the Bristol Royal Infirmary in 1737 once lived.
