Jeremy Clarkson ‘bans’ three popular food and drink items from Cotswolds pub

Jeremy Clarkson has reportedly banned three popular food and drink items from his Oxfordshire pub.

The former Top Gear host, 64, opened the doors to his Cotswolds pub in August last year, following the success of his Diddly Squat farm shop.

It was claimed he splurged £1,000,000 on the new venture, but since then, The Farmer’s Dog has faced a series of ‘total disasters’.

Not only were they suffering from stolen glasses and unexpected expenses, but Clarkson initially faced immense backlash over prices, when it was revealed that merch was costing up to £60, while pints were £5.50.

It’s now been claimed that certain food items aren’t being sold there, according to a reporter who recently went for lunch.

Birmingham Live’s Emma Gray wrote in her review: ‘The Farmer’s Dog isn’t just a gimmicky experience, the food is really good, it’s well presented and served with pride. I love that everything is produced nearby.’

However, she revealed the pub has a ban on coffee, ketchup and lemonade, and claimed there’s a sign outside explaining they don’t serve the first two and was told about the third when asking for a cider shandy.

Clarkson prides his pub selling local produce, with an announcement on his website reading: ‘I have tried my absolute hardest to make sure that every single thing you consume in The Farmer’s Dog was grown or reared by British farmers. And I have failed.

‘Yes, the pork, the beef, the lamb and the venison are all British. And so is pretty much everything else. The milk, the butter, the eggs, the vegetables and the fruit. We even cook in British oils.

‘But there have been some problems like, for instance, the simple G&T.’
