Jeremy Clarksons pub hit with devastating blow after | UK News

In addition to venturing into the farming industry with his Diddly Squat Farm, TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson opened an accompanying store with local items with his associate Lisa Hogan, before endeavor the huge renovation project of his pub, The Farmer’s Dog. Throughout his Prime Video docuseries, Clarkson’s Farm, viewers gained insight into the mammoth process of taking over rural nation pub The Windmill in Asthall.

After a number of clashes with West Oxfordshire District Council, the pub ultimately had its grand opening in August 2024, which reportedly noticed tons of of people queuing for hours to enter the Farmer’s Dog on its first day. After buying the pub for around £1,000,000 last yr, Jeremy has free rein and serves his alcohol model Hawkstone in its many varieties. This consists of lager, cider, IPA and stout. As a outcome, the pub has proved standard with both locals, vacationers and Clarkson’s Farm followers after it turned the main focus of season 4.

Despite the pub’s reputation and rave reviews, the previous Top Gear star was dealt a major blow after the Farmer’s Dog was snubbed from the celebrated Good Beer Guide 2026 by The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Listing 4,500 of the best boozers from across the UK, as many as 67 entries have been made for Oxfordshire, but Jeremy’s pub was not one of them.

A CAMRA spokesperson addressed the snub via the Oxford Mail and said: “The Guide is the definitive guidebook to pubs that serve great cask beer, and makes use of an unbiased, volunteer-led choice course of that makes it the authoritative and trusted voice of cask beer drinkers.

“Listings in the Guide are highly competitive and do change year on year. Entries in the Guide are decided by the hardworking volunteers of local CAMRA branches across the UK.”

While Jeremy has yet to address being left off the guide, it was also revealed that Charlbury’s well-regarded country pub, The Bull, led by Michelin-starred chef Sally Abé, was also snubbed, despite being visited by former US Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this yr.

This comes just days after the TV star’s former co-host, James May, hit back at Jeremy for “banning” him from his Farmer’s Dog pub.

When requested about it on ITV’s Lorraine, James said, “Well, apparently. But I have said before that it’s a bit like being banned from the golf club, because I wasn’t going to go anyway.”

The ITV host burst out laughing as the Top Gear star elaborated: “I’ve got my own pub, which is just around the corner, so I’m not going to go 75 miles to his. Especially if mine is better.”
