Drayman's Son in East Cambridgeshire

A huge and ever changing selection of beers and ciders. Nice and cosy, and very friendly staff. This must be the best pub in the UK!

Another great micro pub. It's the future.

Excellent beer and nice atmosphere.

Gentle stop whilst train was delayed

What a lovely little venue in the heart of Ely. Great beer, lovely staff. Can't argue.

Great little pub with a wonderful selection of local and own beers.

A special shout out to Erin for her professional, friendly service.

Absolutely blooming marvellous. Like a pub should be. Excellent selection of beers, amiable and amicable staff, comfy seats ad friendly, welcoming atmosphere. First visit, won't be last. Cheers!

Great beer. Perfection. There is nothing wrong with this pub.

If you like your real ale this quirky place is a must if you are in Ely. This was my first visit since 2019 because of the pandemic and it didn't disappoint. I look forward to returning again.

A great selection of beers, cask, keg, and cider. The incredible pale was exactly that. The decor is transport themed, with signs and old enamelled sign adverts. Don't think they did food. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars like everything else. It's definitely worth a visit.

Excellent real ale bar. Order at the bar, beer delivered to your table. Good stock of board games should the beer and your companions not be sufficient entertainment. WiFi available. Prices very reasonable - four half pints were (just) less than £10! Four cask ales, another 6/8 from keg, many more from can and bottle (including Belgian beers). If in Ely again, will definitely return.

Great atmosphere, excellent selection of beers and stouts.

Great pub. We are very lucky to have this in Ely

Good choice of real ales/beers. Drinks brought to tables. Board games, nice clientele. Can't fault it!

A visit to Ely is never complete without a visit here. We took friends for their first trip and they loved it too. Always lovely but even better when it's packed with Molly dancers who performed in the bar too!!

Excellent craft and real ale pub, with a diverse range of all drinks perfect for the amateurs or experts

Busy little pub come shop. Atmospheric & friendly. cask & draft beer's available + snack's. Well worth a look.

Great selection of local beers, relaxed atmosphere. No food but they don't mind you taking in your own.

Called in on a Friday afternoon, very impressed. Be a selection, cide friendly staff.

Never a dull moment, board games to accompany your visit, Jenga always hits the spot! And talk about flow, the sauce is always tastefully delicious with an assortment to suit. Love it

Best pub in Ely. Ever-changing selection of real ales, craft beers and ciders to suit every taste. Staff are passionate and helpful and always happy to give recommendations. There is always a lovely atmosphere here.

Absolutely love a few beers here. If you ever consider selling your enamel signs, give me a shout please ;-)

Great selection of ales and ciders never disappoints great atmosphere

They always have really interesting beers to try. Very cosy pub!

Nice beers and an excellent atmosphere. 👌

Very diverse range of drinks good staff 👍👍

Fabulous pub with amazing selection of beers. Will definitely go back when next in area.

A self-professed ‘micro-pub’ a five minute walk away from Ely Cathedral could not be a better find. A delightful blend of trend with trad, much like the selection of beers which make this place a must visit on their own. Perfect casual vibes and exquisite music played, games and decor equally matching in quality. A hidden gem.

We came to the Draymans Son pub in Ely to have a break from our walking, and I've visited here before, so I knew I would be in for a treat. Upon entering, the pub was very clean and quiet, and we ordered a Coke Zero at a very reasonable price. The toilets were clean and fully stocked with soap and paper, with a sanitary bin in both bathrooms. There is a selection of games that are free to play, and they also offer snacks. I would recommend that people check this place out; it's a nice place, and I have enjoyed myself here!

Brilliant micropub. 10-15 excellent real ales, lots of bottled German and Belgium beers, 13 ciders! Friendly knowledgeable staff and lovely owners. I love this place! :)

I came in, with my lovely wife, for a late beer recently, around 9pm. Unfortunately, the place smelt like a rugby players changing room. Too many people not showering and not using deodorant. It ruined what would have been a nice beer from a local brewery. A large table of friends (around 10 people) were very loud and the flat walls made it very reverberant. Some sound absorption would make a visit, a much more pleasant experience.

Never ever had a duff pint here. Old school welcome, random seating and a selection of ales/ciders/continentals that's hard to match. If you're into stout the Egyptian Cream is a dream ✨ 😍 😋 👌 ♥

Our new favourite place....amazing beer, lunches are incredibly good value, lovely friendly staff, and full of nice folk appreciating good beer....what more could you want?

Lovely atmosphere, excellent beers. Highly recommended!

Great place for a drink with friendly staff.

Went for a couple of drinks with an old friend. Barman was friendly and brought our drinks to the table. Beer was really good.

Fantastic choice and excellent beer.

No rating given for food as we didn't avail ourselves of the snacks available. Superb beer menu at competitive prices.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere, fantastic staff and the best drink around.

Lovely little micro pub with a wide selection of beers (draft and bottled) and ability to have 1/3 pint of draught beers (which you might want to do with some of the stronger ones if you're a lightweight like me). They also serve a limited selection of light meals and snacks so we love to nip in at lunchtime if we are in Ely.

Excellent beer, good simple food, civilised surroundings. A great experience, highly recommended.

Very nice place with great beer and excellent decor

Great little bar at the bottom end of the the hill..great ales and ciders. Mainly focus on 3 Blind Mice Ales.( Top quality ale brewery) One of ,my favourite places to visit. Great service.

Good range of local beers and a small selection of rolls and a cheese platter.

Excellent choice of styles of Real ale

A lovely and friendly micropub with a great selection of real ales

Great atmosphere and selection of beers. Definitely worth a visit

Quality draft beers, great selection and great service. What more do you need? Thank you guys

Great little pub. Nice and warm. Excellent cider selection! The rhubarb one was amazing.

Visited here on our trip to Ely, had previously been told this was one of two bars best for Craft and Cask Ales etc. Was fairly busy a good and wide selection of Ales and Ciders and we tried quite a few.. we actually visited, left and then revisited later in the evening as the Draymans Son is open quite late till about midnight I think. Staff were fine though the first staff member to serve us seemed quite miserable but other staff were fine and friendly. All in all decent place to have a nice drink.

Lovely atmosphere and amazing beers

Superb pub, great atmosphere, helpful staff and one of the best ranges of continental beers this side of the channel. If you only visit one pub in Ely, make it this one

Excellent selection of local ciders.

Beer superb very friendly prices very reasonable definitely worth a visit to see for yourselves

Amazing choice of beers, helpful staff, and great boozer

This place was already the Ship of the fens a couple of years ago, but since the refurb it really does deserve the five stars. Five casks, £4.20-4.50, heaps of proper ciders. Probably seats about 30ish now, and dog friendly.

Great beer and tasty lunchtime baps

Great selection of beers, ciders and ales. Relaxing atmosphere to enjoy with friends and family

We had a brilliant night of live music, lovely beers and good conversation with the locals in this micro pub

Amazing beers, great team, superb service, relaxation.

As always, good beer and friendly staff

It was GREAT. Relaxed, unique atmosphere, lovely long list of drink options- loving the micro brewery vibes, cheeky nibbles and fun games. Dog friendly and general all round friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely independent pub with a great selection of ciders and beers.

Great real ale and cider in a quirky establishment

A cracking little craft beer pub in a pretty city dominated by its impressive cathedral. A strong but not overwhelming menu, featuring some great local breweries. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, cosy and cool interior. A must visit.

Friendly, great live music and around a dozen real ales. Usually around half key keg, half cask, and around three from Three Blind Mice whose pub it is. Popped in at opening time; place was empty but we should have booked. Got seats for an hour and a half, before the reservists arrived. Half full when our time ran out and we had to leave. This evening the power failed. So they closed the pub and waited for everyone to leave. Cash or card, regulars or newcomers, they were closed. Perhaps they don't trust their staff. It's small so can be crowded, with a lot of shouting and a phenomenally high noise level at times. Lately the staff have been ruder and less helpful. Tables are left uncleared. I recently waited 15 minutes at a quiet bar whilst the barman chatted. Prices have gone up to £4.20+ per pint for cask beer, higher for key keg. Flies everywhere, smokers in the doorway, smoke blowing inside, and got to ask for your table to be wiped. Victim of success.

Very helpful service and good gin

Nice micropub with some real ciders.

Had high hopes for this micro bar owned by the Three Blind Mice brewery. Good real ale selection with cask guests. Three new breweries for me. ( A forth Papworth was ticked off two nights ago in Cambridge.) On busy road leading up to the town but light and airy. Had half of Rockets Ales Poryer at 4.4% and a half of Ivo brewery bitter at 4.2%.Then had a pint of Twisted Wheel Pale at 4.7%. Unfined so looks like soup. Pork pie for £4. All very good. Use pub free wifi.

Fantastic place to enjoy a drink. Brilliant atmosphere, interesting decor, no TV. If we lived closer this would certainly be my husband's local for range of beers too.

Love this place, proper pub with good conversation and great beers

Excellent selection, one of the few places to get a portter.

Great Choice of beers & Friendly staff, just one downfall is the place is becoming like a kennels and absolutely stinks of dogs.

Great selection of real ales and ciders. Well worth a visit.

Lovely quick stop before heading for the train station. Try the Rees peanut butter beer, delicious!

Excellent pub selling lots of different ales and ciders, you can even order by the third so you can try them all!

Great selection of drinks. Nice atmosphere

Excellent beers. Convivial atmosphere served by very friendly staff.

Very nice bar but the technique is to get zoned up in here, then walk over the road to the curry house (le spice) its quality.

Cosy little pub, with a fantastic selection of ales and ciders. Should be able to find something for anyone here!

Always the highlight of a day out to Ely. Great beers and ciders in a very relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderfully decorated with bits and bobs from yesteryear. Great selection of boardgames too. Highly recommend

Excellent single room bar, great beers & wine, good service.

Excellent micropub owned by 3 blind mice local independent brewer. Vast choice of ales, stouts, lagers and real ciders, many of them their own and a handful from other small brewers. Great place for a quality beer and a chat with locals. Very friendly place.

Great range of ales and ciders.

Great choice of lovely beers & ales & really nice staff

My first time in..fantastic. all round good and frendley service. .and a good lot of deferent beers. .top marks for the staff on the floor. .

Friendly, helpful staff & punters, great range of local beers including several from their own micro-brewery. The Kellar Pils was a classic of its type.

Great beer selection with knowledgeable staff

Good pub and great choice of cask ales. A purist beer drinkers haven.

Fantastic. Love this place. Wish I lived nearer.

Lovely little bar. Well priced with lots of choice.

Nice Micro Pub with good choice of Ale's and Cider's etc

Great atmosphere and fabulous drinks

Great little place with excellent beer.

A whole blackboard of ciders, a whole blackboard of beers, more in bottles & cans and a few spirits. Foodwise it's crisps, porkpies or sausage rolls. You can order in pints, ½ pints or ⅓ pints which means you try all kinds of nice things that you wouldn't want too much of. Like mead. In 3 different flavours. Shuts at 10 obviously.

Tasty beer selection. Comfortable and friendly!
