I can confirm what Kitty says above, us "locals" have been told that the lunchtime folkweek sessions will be carrying on much as before, and would mention that the Sidmouth Traditional Mummers were made very welcome by Matt and his staff at Christmas.Its very far from true that the Volly has been "flattened", the pub has been improved in several ways but still retains the same character and ambience as it always has.
