🌟 IF YOU COULD EAT ONE MEAL EVERY SHIFT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?? 🍽️
We thought we’d ask the team a very important question… because let’s face it, food is one of the best perks of the job! 😂
If you’ve visited us recently, you’ll know that we have a lovely, small team in both Front of House and the Kitchen. And because of this, you’ll probably spot our FOH staff enjoying a little something to eat while on shift.
So, we thought we’d let you in on a little secret… 👀
🍽️ TRACY – Our Manager
Her go-to meal? Our Nachos with Chicken! Because who doesn’t love a plate of cheesy, delicious nachos? 😍
🍟 HANNAH – Our Mixologist
Our cocktail queen likes to keep it simple with a plain old bowl of Cheesy Fries. Sometimes, simple is best! 🧀
🥖 MARY – Our Wonderful Woman of Many Trades
Mary’s go-to? A little Ciabatta. Perfect for when you fancy something tasty without going overboard!
Now it’s your turn! 👇
WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO DISH WHEN YOU VISIT THE VOLUNTEER ARMS LOUNGE BISTRO?
Is it our Sunday Roast? Chicken Balmoral? A tasty burger? Or perhaps something from our light bites menu?
💬 Tell us in the comments below!
And who knows… we might have a little something back for you on your next visit! 😉
We love hearing what our customers enjoy, so get commenting and let us know your favourite!

🍷 SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT! 🍷
We thought it was about time we gave a little shout-out to one of the fantastic suppliers who helps keep the drinks flowing here at Volunteer Arms Lounge Bistro — the lovely team at Wine Importers! ❤️
Wine Importers provide us with the majority of our delicious wine selection, and we honestly couldn’t ask for a better supplier to work with.
And we’re pretty lucky that they’re just along the road from us too! 🍾 Which is particularly handy because there have been more than a few occasions when we’ve had to make an emergency “SOS… we’re running low!” call to the lovely guys and girls there. 😂🍷
We’re very privileged to have built such a great relationship with the team at Wine Importers, and they’ve been a huge part of helping us offer the wines you enjoy when you visit us.
In fact, one of their Regional Directors, the infamous Darren Wilson, joined us a few weeks ago to host our recent Cheese & Wine Night 🧀🍷 — and what a fantastic evening it was!
We haven’t arranged the next one just yet… we thought we’d give Darren a wee break first! 😉😂
But don’t worry — there WILL be another Cheese & Wine Night coming in the next few months. So, whether you missed the last one or you’re already looking forward to joining us again, keep your eyes on our socials! 👀🍷
A huge thank you to everyone at Wine Importers for your continued support — and for answering those emergency wine SOS calls! ❤️

🚨 QUIZ NIGHT TONIGHT! 🚨
Have you got a team? 🤔
Have you got a competitive streak? 😜
Have you got NOTHING PLANNED TONIGHT?! 👀
Then we’ve got you covered! 🍻🧠
It’s the 2nd Thursday of the month, which means it’s QUIZ NIGHT at the Bistro! 🎉
And tonight, we’re doing it for a really important cause — Mesothelioma UK ❤️
So, what actually IS mesothelioma?
It’s a rare and aggressive type of cancer affecting the thin membrane lining the body’s internal organs. Sadly, around 9 out of 10 cases are directly linked to historical exposure to asbestos.
Tonight is all about having a great night, putting your brains to the test AND helping us raise as much as we can for this very worthy cause. 🙌
🎟️ Raffle on the night
👥 Maximum 6 per team
🍻 Great company
🧠 Plenty of questions
😂 Lots of laughs
🏆 And, of course, bragging rights for the winners!
Haven’t booked yet? DON’T PANIC! 😍
We still have a few tables available, but they won’t hang around for long!
📲 Give us a call/message us and get your team booked in!
Come along, have a laugh, test your general knowledge and help us raise money for Mesothelioma UK. ❤️
Who’s joining us tonight?! 👇👇👇

🍰 DESSERT SPOTLIGHT! 🍰
Fancy a little something sweet after your meal? We’ve got just the thing! 😍
Our Roulade with Ice Cream is the perfect dessert when you fancy a treat that’s light, deliciously sweet and definitely not too heavy! 🍦
Recently introduced to the menu, we have a choice of delicious roulades:
🍋 Lemon
🤍 White Chocolate & Raspberry
🍯 Salted Caramel
The only difficult part is choosing! 😋
Our roulade selection changes, so ask your server which one is available on the day you visit.
Pop in, treat yourself and finish your meal on a sweet note! ❤️

👋 MEET THE TEAM! 👋
We thought it was about time you got to know the faces behind the Volunteer Arms Lounge Bistro a little better! ❤️
So, we asked the team for a volunteer to kick off our “Meet the Team” posts…
And guess what? 🤣 Not a single person volunteered! Apparently, everyone is far too camera shy! 📸😂
So, leading by example (and because someone had to go first!), we’re starting with our manager…
🌟 Meet Tracy! 🌟
Tracy is the one keeping everything ticking along behind the scenes (and occasionally in front of the scenes too! 😉). From making sure the team is looked after, to keeping an eye on the day-to-day running of the bistro, she’s usually never too far away!
She’s also the person responsible for asking the team to do this post… so we suspect the others are now hiding! 😂
We’ll be introducing more of our fantastic team over the coming weeks, so you can put some faces to the names and get to know the people who help make the Volunteer Arms Lounge Bistro what it is. ❤️
Keep an eye out for our next Meet the Team… if we can actually convince someone to volunteer! 😂

🍰 Have you tried our gluten-free cakes from Nikki's Bakehouse yet? 🍰
We hope you’ve been enjoying them as much as we have! 😍
Whether you’ve treated yourself to one for dessert after something delicious from our main menu, or you’ve popped in for a cuppa and a sweet treat, there’s always a good excuse for cake! ☕🍰
But we want to know… what will you try next time you’re in? And which one is your favourite? 👀
Our favourites at the moment have to be the Snowballs and the Caramel Shortbread… absolutely delicious! 🤤❤️
Let us know your favourite in the comments — we might even be tempted to change our minds! 😉
Pop in and try one this Thursday to Sunday 😜
