Our meal at Jolly Drayman after a day of skiing was very enjoyable. The food was good, the service was quick, and the restaurant was charming, with a warm, comfortable, traditional pub ambience. The menu is an interesting combination of pub grub and Indian fare; our party tried both, and everything was very good. The only negative was that our... More

When you get tired of bar food, this is the place to go. The pub makes you feel like your back in Manchester! Food it is amazing and they have a very nice children's menu. More

Always a great meal in a town where the barn like skiers food, ie palatable but not much more, is the norm. We have had many good meals at the Jolly Draman and recommend it to anyone who wants good food, a nice noise level, and good service. Reservations are a must on ski weekends. the menu selection extends from... More

We had a good meal and fine brews at this small, friendly restaurant/tavern. We were steered to this establishment by a local innkeeper and we're glad he did.

Sauces were on the side, so no matter, The other was asian and good. Entree... More

This is a favorite place for us, either just for a meeting of the "Old Speckled Hen Appreciation Society" (Ask Fred about this!) or for dinner. Have never been disappointed with the food, and appreciate the menu - quite different from other restaurants in Bethel. We never hesitate to send guests here, and they always come back having enjoyed their... More
