Had a lovely meal here with plenty of gluten-free choices. Of particular note was the presence of nice fish offerings and a decent fixed price menu. It's officially "French food", but definitely on both the "rustic" and "British interpretation" side of that. Still, a lovely meal, and the kind of place I wish I could walk to from my home.

I wanted to visit Jericho because of its association with Phillip Pullmans “Dust” trilogy. I attempted a late booking by phone and email but when we arrived a table was free outside in the beautiful sunshine. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a quiet drink before ordering the Norwiegenne Crepes and a bottle of wine. The crepes were really well presented, the was plenty of smoked salmon and the cream cheese filling was excellent. The portion size was huge - we could have easily shared one. It is obviously a “locals” pub and we have a very enjoyable chat to one of them. Well worth a visit

Me encanta este lugar. Es un pub local con todos los adornos pero con comida excepcional. El chef y el menú es francés con la cantidad correcta de elección. El vino es delicioso siempre conoces un buen pub por la calidad del vino que vende. El personal del bar es muy educado y la cantidad correcta de atención! Recomendaría si usted está en el Jericó mirar hacia fuera para esta joya - pero reserve para evitar la decepción.

Excelente almuerzo en The Old Bookbinders. Nunca he estado antes y me visitó un viernes a la hora de comer - estaba lleno! Pastel de pescado era excelente, mi esposa tenía filete diminuto, también excelente. Las guarniciones de verduras y patatas fritas eran excelentes. Compartimos una tarta de cidra de postre, posiblemente uno de los mejores postres que he probado!! Regados con una jarra de vino tinto francés. El servicio fue excelente y en general una gran experiencia. Recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveremos pronto.

Tuve la noche y la cena más encantadoras en las encuadernadoras. Me gusta mucho el menú no demasiado abrumador y algo para todos - mantener un ojo hacia fuera para los especiales. A mi partido se le hizo sentir bienvenido sin signos de discriminación. Todos teníamos algo diferente del menú y cada plato era delicioso, así que no fue posible elegir una recomendación. Tuve la tarta de pescado que estaba absolutamente nadando con deliciosos peces diferentes - si te gusta el pescado ahumado realmente te gustará este plato. Los postres también son súper buenos y difíciles de elegir, así que si usted consigue una mesa - recomiendo reservar para no decepcionarse que podría necesitar otra visita. Además, solo mencionar que el vino de la casa es fantástico, ¡sabes que va a ser bueno si el vino es bueno!

I hadn't visited this pub for a few years but I certainly will revisit soon. We visited during a late Sat. lunchtime, managed to book a table although the restaurant was quite busy. The menu is a little different and all the better for it. I had one of the special, sausages and mash which was delicious and a generous portion the rest of my party all had different things and all were delighted with their choices. The food is generally of a high standard and served on hot plates. The atmosphere is wonderfully 'jazzy' and relaxed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were great. All in the party intend to revisit in the near future. Very happy customers.

Efter en fredelig spadseretur langs Oxford Canal, kom vi til Bookbinders Ale House. Vi fik et godt bord med udsigt over lokalet. Der er masser at se på over det hele, både på vægge og i loftet. Vi blev betjent af Izzy, en sød og charmerende tjener. Menuen var begrænset på grund af problemer i køkkenet, der var et lille kort, men med gode muligheder. Maden er god og priserne rimelige. Jeg drak en mørk bitter som smagte fremragende. Alt i alt et særdeles godt valg at besøge Bookbinders Ale House.

Precioso pub antiguo en el borde de Jericó y al lado del canal de Oxford. El interior rebosa de trivialidades musicales y literarias dando un aire bohemio. La comida es desvergonzadamente francesa y es estándar de bistró de alta calidad en la ejecución. Disfrutamos boeuf bourguignon que era de primera clase - rico y generoso. El postre era una mousse más ligera que el aire con un pequeño brownie. Buenas cervezas de verdad, ginebras, corta pero buena carta de vinos VFM. El servicio fue una característica sobresaliente, siendo amable y servicial.

Oh wow, what a fabulous pub The Old Bookbinder’s Ale House is! We were looking for somewhere to eat with vegan options for my husband. He had a wonderful vegan cassoulet and I had Caesar salad which was generously portioned and full of flavour. We both had vegan cheesecake for pudding. It was amazing! Wish I could have the recipe. The serving team are all really lovely, working their socks off, smiling and chatting with customers. There’s a really warm atmosphere. Ladies’ loo is immaculate, tastefully and very thoughtfully set out. We visited on Open mic night, and really enjoyed the music - and doggie applause from Toto the terrier. I was all set to ask for a turn at the mic but my husband thought he might turn into a pumpkin if we stayed any longer. Pity, as a young woman was just starting a beautiful version of ‘It Ain’t Me, Babe.’

Does the pub make an evening great or does the company?! Definitely the company - that said this pub made it so much easier! The food was good despite my not realizing how French it was. The service was always great and with a smile and several laughs given our happy disposition. We shared a bottle of wine recommended by the landlord and hostess and it was good. The pub is located off the trodden streets and pavements of Oxford so you may have to wander broadly to find it but it's well with it.

Can't say anything about the food as I just went for a drink. However it looked and smelled amazing and a lot of people were ordering and getting takeaways so it must be good. We arrived on a trivia night and it had a really nice crowd of what seemed to be locals who enjoyed trivia. If you want the english/oxford cozy pub experience this is it.

On a walk through Oxford and found this place tucked away near the canal. It was absolutely lovely with a good selection of draught beers and a really nice atmosphere. It was classic pub setup with lots of little pics and trinkets plastered all over the walls and a very cozy feel. Although we didn't have food, they were preparing for dinner and it smelled amazing so I bet the food is also pretty good!

Este es un pub victoriano que ha tenido un cambio de imagen en un intento de hacer que parezca más antiguo internamente. Esto ha sido mal hecho. El personal es muy servicial y amable.

Excellent place for dinner (although getting a table is definitely the tricky part here). We had the 2 course set menu (£20.50 each). I had a delicious goat cheese and med veg tart to start followed by sea bass. Whilst the other person had same starter but the French style burger (no bun). The service was friendly and efficient and they answered all my allergen questions having checked with the kitchen without making me feel like I was difficult! Good drinks selection. Overall a great little find.

Only stopped for a quick drink, at 5 to 5 Sunday afternoon. Looked like an interesting old pub. The bar person was pleasant enough, but I do wish she had told us that the bar was about to close, as the rather surly looking girl who followed us outside proceeded to inform the seated customers of this fact, and went from table to table taking down the umbrellas. Felt about as welcome as a fart in an astronaut suit, but luckily we had a train to catch, so didn't hang around.

Having visited with friends for drinks, I was convinced by the wonderful smell of the food to come back with my boyfriend. We tried the burger (added bacon and brie) and the minute steak with garlic butter. I have to say both needed salt, but we do have salty palates so it might just be us! The waitresses are very sweet and friendly. We didn’t have a reservation but turned up when they opened at lunchtime and they fit us in straight away which was nice. I must say that we did see (presumably) the owner / landlady take the half pint of coke we ordered from the bar and pour some out before letting the waitress bring it to us… bad impression for something that would’ve cost you less than a penny! But the atmosphere in general is good, the specials sounded nice, and we will come back at some point as it’s a good place for a casual lunch.

Excellent old-school pub in Jericho. Tucked away down side streets, near the Oxford Canal. Not too far from town or the train station so easy to get to. Comfortable and cozy inside, it does get quite busy, with tables often reserved. Plenty of beer options and friendly staff. Didn't have food when I last went but what I saw people having looked good. Definitely worth a diversion from town.

Can't praise this place highly enough, great food,fabulous ale, friendly warm professional welcome from ALL staff and reasonable tariffs. Word of warning Oxford City Council has changed restrictions to ALL RINGO app car parks, one is handy and nearby. choice is five hours at £4.30 or twenty four hours at £15.30, no inbetween, five hours can no longer be extended. For me this means day visits to Oxford and this pub to meet up with a relative from London every six to eight weeks or so will have to be lessened or find another city and sadly another pub.

Very quiet for a Friday night. The barman was pleasant enough. It’s just all a bit dull for me. You can’t really see the cartoons as the room is not particularly well lit. The cocktails were fine. We walked through the hotel to the other bar which was slightly better but at £9 for a glass of not cold enough Pinot Grigio in another badly lit room, we left feeling rather conned after they added a service charge as well. . For a large hotel the wine selection by glass is very limited.

We’ve stayed here a dozen times in the last ten years but this will be our last stay. The lady who checked us in was dismissive and disinterested. The room was lovely but Very noisy indeed so very little sleep. The shower was cold. Properly cold. They moved us to a quieter room for the next night which was good. Shower this morning not only cold again but virtually no pressure so it took five minutes just to make sure the soap was off. Breakfast was nothing like last time. Coffee was overrun and bitter. No fruit. Yes. No fruit. Only sliced apple. I asked for some berries and was told they had none. The menu service is gone so welcome to a large scale buffet just like a conference hotel. Congealed eggs and sweaty bacon dripping in fat. Stale pastries. All this for 400 pounds a night. It used to be lovely and clearly the bean counters have taken charge and are going for the bare minimum. Apart from the check in lady, all the staff try hard Oxford’s Grand Dame is gone. A faceless homogeneous business / tour hotel is the new reality.

Jess made us an absolutely stunning and delicious wedding cake at short notice. She perfectly understood what we were looking for both in terms of the cake and the decorations. It was so beautiful the whole room went quiet when it was brought in, and we had so many compliments on the taste as well! The whole process was very professional and reassuring, and really allowed us to take our minds off of it - which was especially important as the baker we had originally intended to use had to cancel only a few weeks before the wedding. In hindsight we're very pleased they did, as we could not imagine anything better than this!
