JEREMY Clarkson has revealed a major shake-up at his Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog.
The Grand Tour star and his trusted team have been entertaining both fans and locals at the £1million establishment after it opened last year.

The pub's opening was chronicled on his Prime Video series, Clarkson's Farm, and has since become a huge success alongside his Diddly Squat Farm shop.
However, the TV host has now confirmed a shake-up is set to hit the boozer as he revealed that changes at the business were afoot.
In a new move, the pub will now be closed on Mondays and no longer serving customers.
Confirming the decision to close up at the start of the week, Jezza's pub's Instagram account shared: "We are giving our team Mondays to spend some well-deserved time recharging - we will be open Tuesday to Sunday in both the pub and the Grand Tour tent."
Alongside the announcement was a team photo of the workers helping to provide the impeccable service that fans have come to know and love at the establishment.
One fan shared a memory of visiting the pub in the comments, writing: "Having visited the pub and people watched while sipping a Hawestone, this is a super resilient and hard working team…it looks relentless, all day everyday."
Jeremy's main reason behind opening the pub was that he wanted everything to come from British farms within a certain radius, so don't expect to see any Heinz ketchup on offer.
Instead, visitors to the pub can treat themselves to the steak pie, ham hock terrine, rhubarb crumble, and a wide range of other menu items, all knowing that it has come from local farmers.
Since the pub opened, it has been extremely busy, and after the show aired, its popularity has soared.
Clarkson bought the pub — previously called The Windmill — in 2023 after offering the owner £1million for it minutes after meeting her.

Series 2
This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm's revenue.
One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn't without its issues.
Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm.
For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council.
Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star's favourite.
Series 3
The third series contained some of the show's most emotional moments to date.
In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying - their mother rolling on to them.
Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig - the Baroness - after she developed cancer and needed to be put down.
Dry stonewall expert and "head of security" Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer.
Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves - with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements.
