Rick Gannon, known for his appearance on Channel 5’s Rich House, Poor House, visited The Farmer’s Dog in the Cotswolds for his 26th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, July 15.

In an Instagram post, the property investor shared a photo of his bill, which totalled £144.45.

He wrote: “I’ve just walked out of Jeremy Clarkson’s Farmer’s Dog with one of his plates.

“We came for our 26th wedding anniversary. Rammed for a Wednesday, brilliant staff, and the food was amazing.

“Then the bill arrived with a 12.5% service charge slapped on top.

“Which to be fair I don’t mind paying for such good service, and I got a plate too so winner winner!”

“Some of you will remember I left with the lucky cat from Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant.

“It’s still sitting at home. Now Jeremy’s plate is coming home with me too. Gordon’s cat. Jeremy’s plate. Who should I visit next?”

The receipt showed he actually purchased the plate for an additional £25.

former Top Gear and Grand Tour host, Clarkson, runs The Farmer’s Dog in Asthall near Burford having bought the pub for around £1,000,000.

He documented the grand opening and the run up to it in the fourth series of Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime.

And the 66-year-old Chipping Norton resident runs the pub alongside his 1,000 acre farm in Chadlington.

James Langhor, of no fixed abode, drove the stolen Ford Transit which belonged to Euro Car Parts in Banbury.

He initially pleaded not guilty to going equipped for burglary and one count of burglary.

He is alleged to have stolen keys and had a glass hammer and balaclava when going to the same parts shop.

However when the 35-year-old appeared at Oxford Crown Court on July 16, the prosecution offered no evidence on those charges.

He pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods, namely the van, on April 18 this year.

Langhor previously pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving and one count of driving while disqualified at Barbridge Road, Bulkington, in a Ford Transit van on the same day.

A pre-sentence report was ordered ahead of his sentencing hearing on August 13.

Langhor is on remand in custody.

The correspondence between the celebrated author and Eileen Elgar, dating from the 1960s, was auctioned at Sotheby’s in London.

Among the items was a letter referencing the death of author C.S. Lewis and a signed copy of “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil,” which alone fetched £20,480.

The entire collection, including six signed books and five letters, reached a total selling price of £103,680, inclusive of the seller’s premium.

Elgar, who died in 1980, lived near the Hotel Miramar in Bournemouth, where Tolkien and his wife regularly holidayed.

She began writing to the Oxford-based author in her fifties, advised by her daughter to seek answers to her questions about his books directly from him.

The correspondence developed into a friendship, with Elgar offering suggestions for Tolkien’s work.

The relationship grew to the extent that Tolkien visited Elgar at her home.

An autographed note, tucked into a copy of “The Fellowship of the Ring,” was also part of the auction.

The note revealed Tolkien’s thought process behind the creation of the race of Dwarves in Middle-earth and was part of a lot of three volumes of “The Lord of the Rings” from 1961.

Describing Elgar in a letter to his grandson in 1963, Tolkien noted her as an ‘admirer’ of his, ‘highly intelligent & well read,’ and ‘stone deaf,’ which meant communication had to be via ‘writing pad.’
