Jeremy Clarkson Bans Customer from Farmer’s Dog Pub Over Price Complaint
Jeremy Clarkson, the former Top Gear host, has barred a potential patron from his Cotswolds-based pub, The farmer’s Dog, following criticism of the establishment’s food prices on social media. The pub, located near burford, Oxfordshire, opened in August and it’s launch is featured on the latest season of Clarkson’s prime Video show, Clarkson’s Farm.
The dispute began when a user on X (formerly Twitter) suggested that £24 for pie and vegetables at The Farmer’s Dog was overpriced. Another user commented on the cost of British beef. Clarkson responded by simply banning the first user from the pub. Clarkson’s farm, Diddly Squat, supplies produce to the pub.
