The Oxford Guide - Differences between Version 3 and Version 2 of Bookbinders

Version 3 Version 2

This was, at one point, a fantastic pub owned by Morrell's (but still great) and run by Eddie somebody or other.
Claims to be a "saussage pub", and has a nice selection of saussage dishes (or did last time I was in there), and some nice beer, though I don't think that it has the same variety of guest ales that it enjoyed in its heyday.

People not familiar with [[Jericho]] may find it a little difficult to navigate through to The Bookbinders. Going north along [[Walton Street]], walk past The [[Oxford University Press]] and [[Freud's]] and before you get to the [[Phoenix Picturehouse]] take the left along [[Jericho Street]]. At the end of the road, Victor Street is immediately to your left.

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. The staff are slightly odd and I'm not sure if this is due to excess consumption of the profits or simply the atmosphere of the pub. Oh did I mention the free monkey nuts? Beware of the toilet doors.

<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.
