The Volunteer Inn has been at the heart of Lyme Regis for centuries, welcoming locals and travellers alike with its warm hospitality and traditional charm.

Steeped in history, our pub has long been a meeting place for fishermen, traders, and storytellers, offering a cosy retreat after long days spent along the Dorset coast.

Originally established as a coaching inn, The Volunteer Inn has seen Lyme Regis evolve over the years while maintaining its historic character and friendly atmosphere. Many of its original features remain, from the exposed beams and stone walls to the roaring fireplace that still provides a welcoming glow on chilly evenings. Generations of visitors have passed through our doors, enjoying hearty food, locally brewed ales, and good company in a truly traditional setting.

Today, we continue to celebrate our rich heritage, serving a fine selection of local ales, quality wines, and classic pub fare. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, a meal, or simply to soak up the history, The Volunteer Inn is a place where the past and present come together in the heart of Lyme Regis.
