About

The Roebuck at Draycott is a warm, welcoming pub and restaurant tucked in the picturesque village of Draycott in the Clay, just a stone’s throw from the A50. The family‑run establishment blends traditional pub charm with a relaxed, family‑friendly vibe, offering an extensive menu that ranges from hearty brunch and lunch favourites to hand‑rolled pizza and elegant dinner options. A highlight of the venue is its on‑site microbrewery, Roebuck Brewery, which crafts a selection of quality ales—including bitter, blonde, IPA, porter and the citrus‑flavoured Hopzester—available to patrons on the pub’s bar or as part of a brewery tour. The brewhouse’s proximity to the main pub lets guests savour fresh beer right straight from the tap. Guests rave about the friendly service, the comforting pub atmosphere, and the genuinely good food prepared with locally sourced produce. Outdoor seating, an indoor cosy fire, and a welcoming bar area make it an ideal spot for family gatherings, casual meet‑ups or a relaxed evening out. Reservations can be made online through the site’s ‘Book Table Online’ feature or by calling ahead during opening hours. Booking is recommended during peak times such as weekends or special events to avoid long waiting periods.
