Great pub and perfectly located up the road from the station, always have a pint here after work before going home. One of the finer pubs in Ealing by a mile

Huge Pub with an awesome garden. Well worth a visit for the ales (Mostly Fullers with the occasional Guest) which are well kept. The food is a bit hit and miss but the nibble plates are worth a look if theres a group.

The pub is very child friendly and sunday seems to be the busiest of all, so if you are not fond of the idea of kids pubs doing kid type things then i would advise against going there for sunday lunch. I personally dont mind, however i did notice some scowling looks and overhear a few dirisery words about the number of kids in the pub from some of the other patrons.

Also a good pub for all the usual sports.

Worth a look.

The Drayton has an utterly ridiculous ‘no hat’ rule. If you’re spotted wearing any sort of headgear you’ll be pounced upon by one of several officious jobs-worths, who will demand its removal (or yours) immediately. No explanation will be offered for this bizarre enforcement; you’ll be merely told: ‘it’s policy’. I don’t wear a hat, and neither do any of my friends. But I have seen a middle-aged, perfectly respectable looking man in a fedora (or some such hat) subjected to a nonsensical attack on his liking of the milliner’s trade.

I can only assume that they (the staff) once had a spot of bother from a hat-wearing customer and in true health and safety style (that of over-reacting to a one-off, highly unlikely incident) thought that banning hats would prevent it ever happening again. Who knws?

That said, it’s possible for the exposed of head to visit the Drayton without being drawn into this debacle. Manage that and you’ll have a pleasant enough time, with good beer, reasonable food and friendly non-hat wearing bar staff.

As recent refurbishment has made improvements, though the olfactory evidence in one toilet suggests aesthetics was put ahead of (literally) underlying problems.

Worth a visit (the pub, if not the toilet).

At the risk of irritating other reviewers i wasn't that impressed. Bored looking staff, overpriced beer and an okish at best menu. Garden is awesome though!
