"Where should I go after Bookbinding Festival if not here ; It was totally spontaneous and almost accidental visit and was the best end of a long day I could ask for. Pub is located just around 10 minutes walk from city centre in calm and local area. It looks just brilliant — like cut out from some old movie scene. Beer is proper and cold. Food, even if the menu is in French, is excellent. I had goat cheese croutons and one minute steak—all was way above pub food standards. But really exceptional… is staff and service. Nice, polite people that know what they’re doing. Quick, talky if you wish, and highly competent. Advice for landlord: if they ask you for a rise—give it straight away; if the ask for shares in your business—at least consider it ; Highly recommend this place!"

Lovely traditional pub with great variety of beers (including cask ones). The deco is cool and it makes it different from other pubs.

We reserved a table here for food before a theatre show and so glad we did! It's popular for a reason! Great food and friendly, attentive service. Dog friendly too. The crepes were delicious. Highly recommended

We took our chances turning up here on a late Saturday lunchtime without a booking but the staff were fantastic in finding us a table. The level of service was maintained through our lunch which featured some excellent French dishes. We will be back.

A hidden gem in Jericho! Beautiful place, with unique and tasty food at decent prices and good selection of drinks. The staff was friendly and the place lively. My crepe was delicious. I absolutely loved the place and would definitely recommend it to people!

French dishes on an English pub. It was very good, the staff was very friendly and the pub very cosy. French people own the place and work there but the pub kept its highly English vibe, I'll go back there : Of note, kids are welcome and there is a changing table in the restroom

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.

We recently spent a weekend away in Oxford. My husband booked The Old Bookbinders up for a meal on the Saturday. We booked the table up for 8.30 we arrived a bit early and our table was not quiet ready. So we got a drink at the bar, it is quiet a small bar area, but a man sitting having a beer offered us two seats to sit down, while we waited. Our table was soon ready, the food was excellent and very reasonably priced,the staff are very attentive and work very hard. It is a very quirky place with lots of different things on the wall and hanging from the ceiling. If we are ever in Oxford again we would definitely visit again.
