Danny O'Revey left this review about The Jolly Drayman

Entrance in was hard to find with various doors locked. Inside its quite large and a bit f a 70s feel. Lots of pump clips on the wall. Beer was ok

A bit of a higglty piglty mish mash of an interior with several areas to sit with your drink, the place was extremely busy but felt almost more like a clubhouse than pub, my Dark Star APA was fine but the venue didn't really float my boat.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Jolly Drayman

Busy side-street pub with a good reputation for its real ales. No parts of the J-shaped bar are particularly spacious, but there is a side room that can be opened up for busier times or events. I found four of the five handpumps in use, pouring Greene King IPA, London Pride, Proper Job and Dark Star's Hophead (£4.20).
