We just discovered this place on our most recent trip to Sunday River. What a find! Fabulous food (try the Indian dishes), huge portions (even the wine pours are about twice the norm), cozy, authentic atmoshere (English Pub, yet fine for families), good service. Truly can't wait to go back. more

We ate here during a ski vacation with our 2 kids, ages 17 and 20. We all had good meals. The Jack sandwich was particularly good. They have a great selection of beers, and you can get a sampler of 3 beers. The service was very good. more

My husband and I have tried all the restaurants in Bethel and Newry (except for maybe 2) and I can honestly say the Jolly Drayman is like no other dining experience. This is the place we take our friends when we want to impress them (and we don't even break the bank!) The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food... more

My husband and I have been customers of the Jolly Drayman for over a year. The food is always consistant, the service is always personal and the beer is always exceptional.

Can't say enough about this place. You've read it with the other posts, but the attention to detail here is terrific. It's not very often that you can find a place with great ambience, food and service. You can get everything from traditional English fare (bangers n mash, fish n chips), to Indian (Tandori). We talked to the owner a... more

My husband and I came here on a weekend night- the place was packed! The owners were exceptional at accomodating us while we waited for an open table. Everything was great- really cozy atmosphere, the food (try the Chocolate Banana Burrito for dessert- wow), and the service. Definitely recommend trying this place! more
