Our final pub of the tour. We came in last in 2001, when an Elvis impersonator was on and my friends helped him out with backing vocals, and tugging at his tassels. In fact, Ian is convinced we sat tonight in the same spot that Elvis had played - "Thannk yoou verry muuch".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Batemans - XB | 3.70 | | Could just be me, but I really didn't like this. Red fruit and sick flavour. Low hopping |

| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Batemans - XXXB | 4.80 | Not Tried |

15:30 Checking through my records I found that I hadn't been in here since 2007 so this was my first visit since it became a Batemans house. Just one other customer. Nice pubby feel to the place. Good chat with barmaid.
