Big Brother star gives savage review of Jeremy Clarkson's pub over 'dry' meat
Big Brother star Henry Southan - who rose to fame on the revival of the ITV reality show - has given his verdict of Jeremy Clarkson's pub The Farmer's Dog, having taken his family there for Father's Day
Big Brother star Henry Southan has given his honest - and savage - verdict of Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog. Jeremy has opened up a pub near Burford in Oxfordshire to mark Father's Day over the weekend.
The food critic rose to fame on Big Brother, where he quickly struck up a romance with fellow housemate Jordan. However, the pair have since split up. Henry took to social media to give his honest verdict on the pub.
He started his TikTok review by showing a clip of the overflow car park. He moaned: "It's like arriving at Glastonbury - this is the overflow car park. I am in a field far away from the pub and I am having to trek to the pub even with a reservation."
As he trekked across the overflow car park and towards the venue, he said: "This better be the best roast I have ever eaten to justify the pain of just parking and getting here. I am being a proper moaner right now I'm sorry but it's just crazy."
He then filmed the queues and moaned that he had a reservation but didn't know if that meant he could skip the queue. He said: "There is a massive queue out the door - do I have to queue in that even if I have a reservation for now?"
They finally sat down for dinner - but that left Henry and his family wanting more. Discussing the £26 roast, Henry said he was less than impressed with the star of the show - the meat.
He filmed himself telling his dad: "You were right about the beef it is really dry! The pork is also really dry!"
Jeremy's pub has been in the spotlight ever since it was first opened and it recently hit the headlines over a strict menu policy. One reviewer grumbled: "drinks are limited, no cola, pepsi, lemonade or coffee", while another bemoaned the lack of seasonings: "(I) asked for some pepper and was told, 'sorry no!!'" as another said: "Ate 3 mouthfuls and that was enough".
"Sadly they do not have pepper or coffee - both items I really missed. It was strange not to have a coffee after my meal, and I always have pepper on my veg," another person wrote.
Jeremy had previously said his keenness to support local farmers and producers was costing him a lot of money.
"Now, a business-minded person would look at these costs and realise that with British-only rules in place, a hotdog was going to be priced at about £45," he wrote, "But I'm not a business-minded person.
"So I just filled my heart with hope, asked an AI program to work out what the average price of lunch in a Cotswolds pub is and just charged that. It's possible that for every customer who comes through the door I'd lose about £10."

Jeremy Allen White shocks fans with his singing voice as he stars as Bruce Springsteen in biopic
Jeremy Allen White looked and sounded just like Bruce Springsteen while performing his 1975 signature song Born to Run in the first trailer for Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, which dropped Wednesday morning. The 34-year-old Bear star was so good at emulating the 75-year-old heartland rock legend's raspy croon that fans were arguing in the comments of 20th Century Studios' Instagram post about whether or not he was actually singing. Instagram user @imstillhungrythough marveled: 'The way he sounds on Born to Run!' '@vanessavelas it's Jeremy singing,' Instagram user @ragamuffin_gunner replied to another. 'The fact you think it's Bruce means he's nailing it.' Instagram user @xxxanishaxxx chimed in: '@ it's Jeremy! I am an extra in the movie.' 'It's like Jeremy Allen White inhabited Bruce Springsteen in this performance,' Instagram user @nickjmalf commented. 'I can't wait to see the film.' Instagram user @irishoberymi wrote: 'Outstanding choice for an actor to portray Bruce... I mean spot on! I cannot wait to check this out.' 'Trailer gave me goosebumps!' Instagram user @idgee_t commented. 'Jeremy is the embodiment of Bruce in this!' And Instagram user @r251700 declared: 'Oscar for Jeremy!' In fact, Jeremy did sing all of the songs in the film himself, telling the Associated Press last month: 'I sang everything — everything's in the movie. It's done. No more prep, no more vocal lessons, I did it.' 'We finished it in January and Bruce was there a lot of time. Jon Landau, his manager was there a lot of time. They seemed happy and that makes me happy,' White noted. In the big-screen adaptation of Warren Zanes' 2023 biography, Springsteen creates one of the first truly DIY albums - Nebraska - at his home in Colts Neck, NJ with recording engineer Mike Batlan (Paul Walter Hauser) circa 1981-1982. 'Don't need to be perfect,' the 20-time Grammy winner explained. 'I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself.' Bruce is seen attempting to re-record the same minimalist folk tracks about everyday blue-collar workers with the E Street Band, but he ultimately decided to release the original recordings instead.

Bruce is seen attempting to re-record the same minimalist folk tracks about everyday blue-collar workers with the E Street Band, but he ultimately decided to release the original recordings instead Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) is seen listening to the cassette before telling a story abut how there was a hole in the floor of his childhood bedroom. 'A floor that's supposed to be solid? He's supposed to be able to stand on, Bruce didn't have that,' Landau explained. 'Bruce is a repairman. What he's doing with this album is, he's repairing that hole in his floor. Repairing that hole in himself. Once he's done that, he's going to repair the entire world.' Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - hitting US theaters October 24 - also features Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, and David Krumholtz. The Boss' biopic musical drama arrives at the heels of A Complete Unknown, Elvis, and Bohemian Rhapsody - which brought awards season attention to Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, and Rami Malek. Bruce has released 21 studio albums spanning six decades and he's sold over 140M records worldwide. Springsteen was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016, and the National Medal of Arts in 2023. But first, audiences can next catch the two-time Emmy winner reprising his breakout role as chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto in the 10-episode fourth season of Christopher Storer's critically-acclaimed drama The Bear, which premieres June 25 on Hulu.

‘Elite' US fast food chain to open new sites across the UK
When Dave's Hot Chicken opened its doors in London for the first time in December 2024, a massive queue stretched along Shaftesbury Avenue. The US fast food chain, which was born in Los Angeles, was an instant hit and even six months later, fans are so desperate to get a taste, they continue to wait up to an hour to order. If you haven't managed to try it yet, you might not have to travel to London to do so, as the fried chicken business is expanding across the UK. Dave's Hot Chicken (DHC) has confirmed two new major sites will be opening soon in Birmingham and Manchester – with the first to open in a matter of weeks. Those in Birmingham will be able to try the chain's Nashville Hot Chicken from July when a restaurant opens at 56 New Street. The new location is inside an iconic Art Deco-style building with a space-themed interior complete with UFO installations, holograms, and graffiti art inspired by renowned L.A. based street artists Splatterhaus and Dehmq. And following hot on the heels of this, on August 8, Dave's Hot Chicken will open its doors in Macnhester's Printworks. This site will take its cue from Manchester's warehouse rave scene and feature an industrial interior design, with towering ceilings, exposed steelwork and laser lights. Speaking about the expansion plans, Jim Attwood, managing director of Dave's Hot Chicken UK, told Metro: 'Birmingham and Manchester are on the up, with food scenes to rival London's. Opening up our next two locations here kicks off our national expansion, and we can't wait to welcome our first fans through the doors. 'Kicking off in July, Birmingham is our first major moment – the first UK site outside London, whilst our new spot in Printworks Manchester is right in the heart of one of the UK's most exciting cities. 'We're taking Dave's Hot Chicken nationwide. Watch this space.' Metro's Courtney Pochin, gave the chicken chain a try and it was love at first bite. She said: 'I've only had food from DHC the once, but it easily blows KFC out of the water and that meal was all it took for it to shoot right up there to join Popeyes in the top tier of my fast food rankings. 'The chicken is nice and juicy and the Medium spice level is perfect for those who want food that's full of flavour with a kick of heat. They're big on pickles, which I love, but the best part was hands down the loaded Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake – that's a drink that dreams are made of.' DHC brought a number of US favourites over to the UK, with prices starting from £8. Interestingly, there are just two main chicken items on the menu — tenders and sliders (sandwiches) — which are made using halal certified British chicken. However, they also recently launched chicken bites in London. To pair with your chicken, there are a range of sides available including fries, pickles, and slaw, and you can also order combinations of these to make for a bigger meal, with four combo options to choose form. Customers can also personalise their order by selecting a spice level for the dish, with seven different levels to choose from: No Spice, Lite Mild, Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot and The Reaper. The latter is so hot that anyone who dares to try it has to sign a waiver before they're allowed to tuck into their food. Alongside this, there are soft drinks such as Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite, and those feeling the heat can cool off with an indulgent top-loaded shake for £4.49. Flavours include chocolate, vanilla or strawberry and these can be topped with Oreo or M&Ms. Dave's Hot Chicken was founded in East Hollywood back in 2017, when four friends who loved chicken tenders scraped together enough money ($900) to buy a fryer and launch a pop-up business in a car park. More Trending They began serving Nashville-style hot chicken and soon people were flocking to get a taste, with Drake, Samuel L. Jackson, and Usher all being counted amongst the brand's biggest fans, and investing in the company. The business was recently named America's Fastest growing Restaurant chain, as it now has 200 restaurants across America. The chain signed an agreement with Azzurri Group in the UK to open 60 sites across the country, so we can expect to see much more from them. View More » And if you're still wondering how it tastes, fans on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have praised the food as 'unreal', 'amazing', 'elite' and a '10/10'. Do you have a story to share?

'Beautiful, just beautiful' Debenhams £37 perfume that smells 'divine'
'Beautiful, just beautiful' Debenhams £37 perfume that smells 'divine' The Nectar Love by DKNY 100ml perfume is currently on sale at Debenhams for £37, but shoppers can get it for even less with a discount code Debenhams shoppers in a frenzy over £35 DKNY perfume that smells 'divine' (Image: whitemay via Getty Images ) Debenhams customers are flocking to purchase a 'divine' DKNY perfume that's been slashed to more than half its original price. Nectar Love by DKNY, typically priced at £81 for a 100ml bottle, is currently on offer for £37 - but there's a trick to get it for even less. First introduced in 2017, Nectar Love by DKNY starts with sweet solar notes, nectarine, yellow freesia, mandarin orange and grapefruit, before transitioning into a floral heart of mirabelle, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. It concludes with a warm base of beeswax, vanilla, musk, cedar and neroli. This fragrance has drawn comparisons to Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole (£91 for 75ml) due to the shared beeswax note. For those on a tighter budget, Lush's Honey I Washed the Kids (£22) body spray offers a similar sweet honey-coated scent.

One admirer commented: "This is such an underrated fragrance! It's a quite sharp floral at first but then it gets super cosy and the honey is delightful. I even had a customer at work that complimented me on it earlier today!". Another penned: "Beautiful, just beautiful. This was gifted to me by my aunt last year. I was tentative at first because the amount of citrus notes frightened me. I don't do well with citrus-forward scents. They catch in my throat and make me cough violently. But Nectar Love is just gorgeous. It smells divine. Like the food of the gods on Mt. Olympus." DKNY Nectar Love £81.00 £37.00 Debenhams Buy Now on Debenhams Product Description Nectar Love is a floral, fruity gourmand that delivers an addictive, exclusive dose of delicious attraction. One expressed disappointment over the perfume's staying power, remarking: "I love the smell of this, it's mainly nectarine and beeswax. It's sweet and fresh. Too bad the longevity is weak, or I would have bought a bottle." It's important to remember that how you apply fragrance can affect its lasting power, with the best results often achieved when sprayed onto clean, moisturised skin post-shower. Article continues below One customer initially thought the fragrance was more appropriate for sunny days but found it delightful even in dreary weather, commenting: "I thought this was best as a warmer weather scent but I've just worn outside on a wet and chilly British day and oh my goodness - it takes on a whole different scent. In love for cheering up grey rainy days." Shoppers can find Nectar Love by DKNY for £37 at Debenhams now.
