Yes, the monkey nuts are back. [Great News - Ed.]

Now open again under new management, who appear to be French and have introduced a menu of crepes (both sweet and savoury) to go alongside the usual pub food. I had cheese & ham and it was delicious. The pub seems otherwise largely unchanged - still has a decent selection of real ales, board games, etc - and remains a slightly shabby lovable backstreet pub. But I forgot to check if they had monkey nuts.

Alas no peanuts in a barrel any more. But it is still a great place to drink, with good - and sometimes great - beer despite the ownership. The "juke box" last time I went was a bunch of middle aged chaps in the back room having a jam session with the door ajar. Good atmosphere, good beer, good pub!

Good solid Jericho pub, with a decent selection of beers and a small but tasty menu selection. Friendly and usually not too crowded. Good place to meet with friends for a relaxing chat.

We went to the Bookbinder's Arms on the strength of the reviews on Dailyinfo. When we first got there, I saw it was Greene King, not a favourite amongst real ale drinkers. However it does have guest ales from other brewers by the looks of it so you have a selection to choose from. The pub was a bit grubbier than expected, but a good proper pub without too many airs and graces. the menu was basic, but was very surprised to see that a good half of it was vegetarian, and that its meat was locally sourced. It was quiet on the night we visited with enjoyable music on in the background, but I imagine it gets busy at the weekends. All in all, a good pub to visit for a bit to eat, maybe with some friends for a few pints. Games available to play if you want. Recommended.

One of my top 5 pubs in Oxford, a real gem. Worth the trek through the back-streets of Jericho as the pub has real character and a cosy atmosphere. Long bar with good selection of beers and good food menu. Full of locals, posh students and OUP workers. Highly recommended.

Great find in the back streets of Jericho. Very warm and friendly with a descent selection of ales and Budvar and Amstel on draught. An eclectic choice of music and free monkey nuts too. Well worth searching out.
