Drayman's Son - Ely

2026-08-22

Address: William House Forehill, 29a Fore Hill, ELY CB7 4AA

Pub appears to be run by Three Blond Mice brewery. But they don't sell it as that.

The front of the pub was quite a welcoming bit of art deco in it's coloured glass and lampshades. Upon enteting though, the first thing we noticed is the warm fug - thick, warm, beer flavoured air that you can't escape, nor would you necessarily want to; it's a comforting sort of feeling. Feels like it could already be your local.

The interior itselfeld is made up of 2 different levels (almost dangerous!) and is covered with vintage adverts and transport signs, among other classic/vingtage-y things. Unfortunately most seemed to be recreations, which does take away a bit from it.

The beers we had were absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced.

Shame there wasn't an outdoor or more space/variation of space.

Service was friendly and they delivered our beers to our table, although to be honest, I wasnt really sure the point.
