Thank you the amazing Annette, for allowing me to arrive so late on a Saturday night! I was left in a really crap situation and if it wasn’t for this lady and the staff at gravesend train station I honestly don’t know what the situation would have been for me! So welcoming, could see I was distressed and upset when I arrived and she made the time to listen and talk with me. Room was comfortable too. Again thank you so much for your hospitality

This is a really good old fashioned English pub, spoilt only by the arrogant and extremely rude attitude of one member of staff. She really needs to learn how to speak to customers politely.

Great little pub, internal decor very striking (perhaps a bit of a throwback to 40 years ago?), good beer choice - who could ask for anything more?

We popped in as a group of 8 for a few drinks intending to spend the rest of the evening there. It’s a nice place with a good atmosphere and great live music. We were offended by one of the bar staff, she really was quite rude to us completely unnecessarily and unprovoked. Needless to say, we left early and spent our evening elsewhere.

Well….fun night , some clientele debatable but didn’t bother us . No expense spared on entertainment and experienced staff always appreciated serving efficiently . Pub up the road was a favourite but this has overtaken in my view for sure

I would not recommend this pub to anyone the customer service of the bar staff is disgusting if your face doesn’t fit you won’t get served they speak with rude and will refuse to serve you if you said you was before the person they choose to serve their dress attire is dirty greasy hair and in dirty slippers would not recommend at all god knows what their rooms must look like on appearances behind the bar AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I've been to the Jolly Drayman about five times and had a good time every time - Euros, random pints, beer festival, live music. The owner is really friendly too. We felt at home and the staff have great banter.

We had our daughters’ christening party here recently and had a wonderful time! Annette and Ann worked so hard to dress the function room with nice table cloths etc, and the buffet was really good too with plenty of choice. Took all the stress out of the day, lovely venue and staff. Thank you so much xx

I stayed for a few weeks on business / pleasure, which turned into a really great experience. Such lovely, lively staff and really welcoming clientele. A particular mention for the house manager, Annette. It's rare to meet such a hard worker and professional person. Good food, good wine and a convivial place to enjoy lunch or an evening drink.

We visited for Sunday lunch and absolutely loved it. There were 10 of us, 3 of whom were late but the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. The food was excellent. It really was, and the value for money was remarkable. With its smart dining room and atmospheric pub we'll be visiting again!

The perfect pub now, after a few years in the doldrums, it is back to its roots. The jazz was the icing on the cake. The beer well kept and affordable. Happy memories of being a regular from the seventies to nineties were recreated.

What a great pub!!! My mate and I went there to have some lunch and a drink, before visiting other places in Gravesend. My friend likes real ales, he loved the Hophead, and we both enjoyed the food as well. The portion sizes were excellent value for money, and excellent quality as well. Staff were really friendly and treated us as if we were locals. I will definitely be returning to the pub, in the near future. A real gem of a pub!!!!

This is a very charismatic pub with good food and lovely, engaging staff. In the summer, you may even be lucky enough to see Morris Dancers perform. Certainly worth a visit if you're going that way to the old fort or the sikh temple.
