#REDIRECT [[Bookbinders]]
This was, at one point, a fantastic pub owned by Morrell's (but still great) and run by Eddie somebody or other.

Visitors should be aware that the
Bookbinders would be classed as a slightly eccentric pub (sorry make that very eccentric). If a pub with a bike, inflatable crocodile and a train set hanging from the ceiling is your thing, you might just want to settle down here. The selection of beers is fantastic but people searching for a non-hops-based drink may find better offers elsewhere. Oh did I mention the free monkey nuts? Beware of the toilet doors.

*Quiz night Tuesdays
*Live Jazz Thursdays??

<b>Ray</b> sez:

The Bookies definitely went downhill when Greene King took over and
Eddie left. The new landlord was very friendly, but the brewery
wouldn't let him sell nice beer. So the pub lost a lot of custom, the
brewery charged horrendous rent, and the nice new landlord realised he
couldn't make a go of it. A new guy took over a few weeks ago - he's
trying to be friendly but perhaps trying too hard....
That said, the brewery does seem to be giving him
more freedom in the beers he serves: I had a nice (read "not Greene
King") pint there last week. On the food side, it still does a
reasonable range of standard bar meals at about GBP 5.95.
