What User likes about The Old Bookbinders Ale House:
great service, surprisingly good French inspired menu that highlights in comparison to other pubs, beautiful atmosphere highly recommended and worth the easy way out of the walton rd strip View all feedback. What Justxme doesn't like about The Old Bookbinders Ale House:
The staff at this restaurant is very attentive and the ambience is lovely. They offer gluten-free bottled beer, but if you're both gluten-free and lactose-free, the options are very limited. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant if you have both dietary restrictions. However, if you are only gluten-free, then it is a fine option with no other restrictions. View all feedback.
