Old Bookbinders Ale House

Oxford


This charming neighbourhood pub is a hit with Jericho locals for its distinctive and very tasty line in French cuisine, including simple classics like beef stew, chicken with cream, and steak and chips. Best of all, it serves what it appetisingly calls ‘a load of crepes’ – delicious pancakes, with savoury fillings. Most customers tend to linger for a post-dinner pint.
