NBC Brewery of Northampton opened this pub as the Radcliffe Arms in 1872 (sadly the original NBC etched windows were removed during a previous refurbishment); it became a Scottish and Newcastle pub, and closed in 2010. Fortunately, Arkell’s of Swindon acquired it in 2011 and it is now run by the Dodo Pub Co as a sister pub to the Rusty Bicycle in Cowley. The old pool room is now a bright, airy dining room (pizzas and burgers), and the pub has been refurbished throughout, losing the big TVs and gaining some tartan wallpaper, and, of course, several yards of books. Credit must go to Arkell’s for rescuing a street corner pub that for a while looked likely to end up as a house, like so many others in Jericho. Has a choice of beers on tap as well.
