Jeremy Clarkson recently opened his new pub, The Farmer's Dog, in the Cotswolds. The pub reportedly cost £1,000,000 and faced many struggles before opening its doors. Despite this, hundreds of people lined up for hours to be among the first customers.
One of Clarkson's goals for the pub was to only sell products grown or reared in Britain. However, he has now admitted that he has failed in this aim. In an explanation on the pub's website, Clarkson shared that he had tried his hardest to source British products, but there were some challenges.
While he was able to serve pork, beef, lamb, and venison from British farmers, he faced difficulties with other items, such as the gin and tonic. Quinine, a key ingredient in tonic water, cannot be grown in Britain, so he had to make do with British fizzy drinks made from British-grown fruit. He also chose not to serve avocado or Coca-Cola, instead offering British alternatives.
Clarkson also mentioned that his own beer brand, Hawkstone, was too obvious of a choice, so he decided not to serve it at the pub. Despite these challenges, he expressed his delight in being able to support British farming and thanked his customers for their support.
Before the pub's opening, some people had criticized the potential prices of food and drinks. When Clarkson shared a picture of the menu on Instagram without prices, some speculated that it would be expensive. LadBible later listed the prices of the food, with mains ranging from £15 to £19.
The menu also includes smaller dishes, such as chicken liver pate and garlic mushrooms, for £9 and £8 respectively. A pint of beer is priced at £5.50. On the opening day, the pub's Instagram account shared photos of the interior and merchandise prices. The most expensive item was a Hawkstone jumper for £60, with other items like an apron, dog bowl, and bottle opener also available.
Clarkson's Farm, his popular show on Amazon Prime Video, has been a success, and he is now venturing into the pub business. He invites everyone to come and support British farming at The Farmer's Dog.
