The Jolly Drayman Pub And Hotel - A historic riverside pub with free Wi-Fi, live music weekends, and traditional ale selection

The Jolly Drayman Pub And Hotel is a 3-star establishment located in Gravesend, featuring a low-beamed, traditional pub with a 150-year history. Guests can choose from five real ales, including rotating guest pumps, and enjoy live music on weekends in the bar or the South West-facing garden. The property offers free Wi-Fi throughout and features en-suite rooms with tea and coffee facilities, including a King Size, Double, Triple, and Single room. Nearby public parking is available at the Sikh temple, a two-minute walk away. The Panic Room Gravesend is 0.5 km from The Jolly Drayman, while Gravesend's Town Pier is 1 km away. Daddlums, an ancient skittles game, is played here on Sunday nights.

Pros

Live music weekends and an annual beer and music festival with over 25 beers and ciders.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the building and en-suite rooms with tea and coffee facilities.

Historic pub ambiance with traditional ale selection, including guest pumps from Dark Star Brewing and St Austell.

Close proximity to public parking and local landmarks like The Panic Room Gravesend.

Cons

Limited on-site parking, with reliance on nearby public car parks.

No pets or smoking allowed inside, with strict policy enforcement.

“The Jolly Drayman strikes me as a real find in Gravesend; the kind of place where you can feel genuinely welcomed after a long journey, whether by bike or otherwise. I appreciate that the rooms are well-equipped with thoughtful touches like microwaves and fridges, and the pub downstairs no doubt adds to the appeal with its local beers and convivial atmosphere.”
