One devoted fan of Jeremy Clarkson, a popular TV host, recently had a less-than-ideal experience at his new pub in the Cotswolds. Billy and his wife Emma, who have been avid viewers of Clarkson's show "Clarkson's Farm," made the trek from Essex to the pub, which reportedly cost a whopping £1,000,000. However, after making the long journey, Billy was left feeling disappointed and frustrated.
According to Billy, their visit to the pub was met with disappointment right from the start. They arrived at around 1pm for lunch, excited to try the locally sourced food on the menu. However, they were left waiting in line for 30 minutes without any announcement that the kitchen was closed. To make matters worse, another customer informed them that there was a sign by the door stating that only bar snacks would be served that day due to maintenance.
Feeling let down and misled, Billy and Emma joined the other angry customers who had also traveled from far and wide, only to be met with a limited menu. Billy expressed his frustration, stating that the bar snacks on offer were subpar, with items like pickled eggs, a plate of four sausages with a dip, and unappetizing scotch eggs. He had been looking forward to trying a proper Lancashire hotpot, not pickled eggs.
To add insult to injury, the couple mentioned that there was no mention of the limited menu on the pub's website, and the fact that Jeremy Clarkson himself was not present at the pub added to their disappointment. They described the pub as "very ordinary" and "underwhelming," and they were not the only ones who left the line in anger. Billy declared that he would not be returning to the pub, feeling livid about the whole experience.
Other customers have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the pub, with one calling it a "rip-off" due to the £2 parking charge. However, the majority of the reviews on TripAdvisor have been positive, praising the pub's food and friendly staff. One user even described the menu as what you would expect from a good pub, with excellent quality ingredients and attentive service.
On the pub's website, Clarkson himself describes the Farmer's Dog as more than just a pub, highlighting its food offerings in particular. He mentions that it is the first Hawkstone filling station, but also boasts a restaurant, farm shop, butcher, off-license, bar, and an outpost for meaty snacks on the lawn.
The Agency reached out to Jeremy Clarkson's representative for comment on the situation. It seems that despite the initial disappointment, the pub continues to attract customers and receive positive reviews. As the saying goes, you can't please everyone all the time.
