About This Pub

Ah, The Drayman's Arms, what a gem of a spot in Spalding! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that classic pub charm that makes you want to settle in for the evening, with live music adding a real buzz to the place. The staff are top-notch, always friendly and quick with a smile, and they've got a cracking selection of ales that hit the spot just right. Plus, the beer garden is a winner for those sunny afternoons, and little touches like the pool table and jukebox keep things entertaining without going overboard. On the flip side, the bar area can get a bit snug when the crowd builds up, and if you're hoping for a wide range of food, it might not quite deliver beyond their popular Sunday roasts. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back get-together, especially if you're after good value and a welcoming atmosphere, but do check it's open as the info can be a bit patchy. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – you might just find your new favourite local!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's got that cosy country pub vibe with live music that really gets everyone in the mood.
  • Friendly staff make you feel right at home, always up for a chat and serving up a great selection of ales and drinks.
  • There's a lovely large beer garden, perfect for soaking up the sun on a nice day, along with fun extras like a pool table, TVs, and a jukebox to keep things lively.
  • Prices are brilliant and affordable, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a night out or a casual Sunday roast.
  • It's clean as a whistle, with good portions and a welcoming crowd that makes it ideal for celebrations or just popping in for a pint.
Cons
  • The bar area is a bit on the small side, so it can feel a tad cramped when it's busy.
  • Not much in the way of food options beyond the Sunday roasts, which might leave you wanting more if you're after a full menu.
  • It's a shame there aren't more recent reviews to go on, as the latest ones are from earlier this year, making it hard to know if things have stayed the same.
  • Without a website or claimed Google profile, it might be tricky to get the latest updates on events or opening times.

Nice quite pub, doesn't have all the mods cons of other pubs, but it doesn't need them. Meat raffle, good selection of drinks and snacks, and a pool table. What more do you want

Definitely my favourite place for Sunday roast. Always a good selection of well cooked meats with plenty of fresh seasonal vegetables plus a Yorkshire pud. A clean pub with friendly staff and customers. Three portion sizes to suit all appetites. Also a good selection of hot and cold desserts. Always good value for money. A traditional local pub with lots of sports teams. For the historian it was formerly a Soames of Spalding pub.
