Jeremy Clarkson, the star of Clarkson's Farm, is facing yet another challenge as his pub, The Farmer's Dog, is hit with a string of issues. The 64-year-old recently revealed that he was dealing with a series of "total disasters" behind the scenes of his Oxfordshire pub, including the theft of 104 glasses. However, it seems that some of these "stolen" glasses have now resurfaced on eBay.
In his column for The Times, Clarkson shared the struggles he has faced with his pub, ranging from hiring hazmat engineers to dealing with the theft of glasses. He wrote, "The theft, for example, is extraordinary. People seem to have it in their heads that if they come in for a pint they are entitled to go home with the glass in which it was served. Last Sunday 104 went missing." It has now been revealed that these glasses are being sold on eBay, with one listing starting the bidding at £20.
According to The Sun, one seller listed a plastic glass as "new" and started bidding at £20, while another listed two half-pint glasses for £24.60. Clarkson also expressed his frustration at the difficulty of making a profit at his pub, despite having a steady stream of customers. He said, "It's galling to see how much effort is required to make so little money on the farm. It's worse at the pub. The customers are coming. There's no problem there. But turning their visits into a profit is nigh-on impossible."
Despite these challenges, Clarkson's pub continues to attract customers. The former Top Gear star opened its doors in August, following the success of his Diddly Squat farm and shop. However, he faced criticism for the prices of food and merchandise, with reports claiming he spent £1,000,000 on the venture. On his official website, merchandise such as hoodies, baseball caps, and T-shirts are priced between £20-60.
Clarkson's struggles with the pub have been ongoing, as he previously expressed his fears of not being able to make his money back. He said, "This place is costing us a fortune. God knows if we'll ever make our money back." Despite these challenges, Clarkson remains determined to make the pub a success. He opened the doors quietly in August but faced a "disaster" on the first day. However, he remains hopeful and determined to overcome these issues.
