    The Volunteer Inn, as you might expect, plays an important part at the centre of the Great Somerford community, a delightful village not far from Malmesbury.

    And now even more after a complete refurbishment in 2017.

    - Good food and Sunday Lunch
    - Dog friendly
    - Beautiful country setting ideal for walks
    - Large secluded garden
    - Function room with skittle alley, private bar & own entrance

    Generations of locals have enjoyed the comfortable surroundings at the pub over the years. And when Arkell's took over in 2007, they preserved the tradition of what everyone wants from their local, country pub, namely: home-cooked, affordable food, well kept ales and a good selection of wines, plus, of course, a friendly welcome.

    Indeed, only one thing has changed, apart from a spot of re-decorating, and that is the introduction of Arkell's award-winning beers.

    Current vacancies

    "Being a Licensee is a fine and rewarding job", says Chris, and it helps that the Arkell’s directors are approachable. "We had a lot of help and they provide us with regular information, but ultimately it's up to us."

    Chris Manners is the Licensee of three Arkell’s pubs. The Rusty Bicycle, The Rickety Press and The Bottle of Sauce
