'I visited Jeremy Clarkson's pub and cost of meal left people floored'
A young woman's trip to Jeremy Clarkson 's pub, The Farmer's Dog, has sparked a debate among Brits over the prices for its fare. Amy Robinson, 20, ventured to the "proper British" boozer, as Clarkson calls it, and shared her culinary experience on TikTok, rating the food a perfect "10/10" and praising its deliciousness.
However, her video, which has racked up over 50,000 views, also highlighted the cost of dining at the establishment located in Asthall, near Burford, Oxfordshire – a venue Clarkson snapped up for under £1 million, previously known as The Windmill. Amy's glowing review showcased the pub's outdoor dining space and the artfully plated meals, but viewers were quick to grill her about the prices.
In response to their queries, she disclosed: "I had sausage of the day and it was £21.00." Another chimed in with their own experience, adding: "It's on their website. We went there and I think a pie was like £24.00.
"Fancy sausage and mash was around the £20.00 mark. Drinks were around £7.00."
Meanwhile, a man defended the pricing, remarking: "You must be from Oxfordshire like me. We thought prices were normal, but people who had travelled were having a fit."

While some punters found the prices to be what you'd "expect" in a rural pub, opinions were split. One expressed their shock, saying: "The prices are insane."
The website details that the cost depends on your choice of dish, with a steak pie fetching £24.00 and a gammon steak costing £22.00. As for drinks, drinkers might spend approximately £6.75 per pint, but this could vary based on the tipple chosen.
Some considered the menu particularly steep, yet there were those who felt the cuisine was totally "worth every penny." One contented guest remarked: "Great place, great staff, great atmosphere, great food."
Another customer shared: "Had a Sunday roast here recently with my family. Food is 100% - all products locally sourced. I will be returning."
Adding to the positive reviews, another said: "It's amazing here. I've been three times now."
Alongside his endeavours in agriculture depicted in the highly acclaimed Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm, Jeremy Clarkson has also ventured into pub ownership with The Farmer's Dog establishment.
His latest pub endeavour forms part of Season 4 of his Amazon Prime reality show, where the former Top Gear frontman embarks on "his most ambitious project yet."
The show promises viewers insights into Clarkson's challenge as he purchases a pub to complement his Farm to Fork restaurant ambition, according to the official summary, which reads: "Jeremy is taking on his most ambitious project yet, setting out to buy a pub that will reignite his Farm to Fork restaurant vision.
"But the road to becoming a landlord isn't exactly straightforward, and with new faces, new livestock and new machinery arriving at the farm, life at Diddly Squat is busier than ever."
As viewers have binged on the latest episodes since May, devotees of the former Top Gear presenter have been making pilgrimages to his public house, which first opened in August back last year.
At the time of the launch, he shared his motives with journalists, saying: "We wanted to have that restaurant on the farm last year and we couldn't, and pubs, they are all for sale. So, we thought instead of building a restaurant we would buy a pub."

I tried the viral ‘53 method' to banish my ‘chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing
Writer Sarah Morton, a mum of two, is fed up with her double chin. Can a viral Tiktok hack get rid of it? JAW & ORDER I tried the viral '53 method' to banish my 'chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing SITTING in a crowded pub with a group of my journalism colleagues, I could feel my eyes starting to well up. 'Did you hear me?' a booming voice demanded. 'I said, take it on the chins.' Advertisement 6 Before applying the hack - Sarah confesses she is self-conscious over her chin and jowls Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Journalist Sarah Morton, applying the '53' make-up hack that TikTokkers claim will sculpt her jaw - without surgery Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Sarah is impressed - clever contouring gives the illusion of a facelift, making jowls fade and cheekbones pop like a real-life filter Credit: Lorna Roach A sozzled male colleague of mine who I barely knew had made a joke about my biggest insecurity in front of a group of ten people. I instinctively raised my hand to my jaw to cover my jowls. I felt embarrassed and annoyed that tears started to fall, but I couldn't stop them. I'd been ridiculed for the thing I hated most about my appearance. Fast forward several years and I've never forgotten that comment. Advertisement I'm now a 42-year-old mum, with a toddler and a new born and arguably, bigger things to worry about. But, despite many fad diets such as the 'no sugar' diet and the 5:2, personal trainers and expensive gym classes that have seen me slim down to a size 8 at my smallest, those 'chins' have remained - as have my deep insecurities. So, imagine my delight when I heard about the '53' method, a supposedly easy way to get a snatched jawline, using nothing but makeup. It's already gone viral on TikTok, with almost 30m videos uploaded to the site with the hashtag #53method featuring people trying it out and offering tips on how to do it. Advertisement In theory it seems easy enough - in order to 'sculpt' the face, you apply concealer in the shape of a '5' to each cheek, and contour in the shape of a '3' next to it. Blend, pout and enjoy a chiselled jawline. Sounds simple, but full disclosure: I've never, ever contoured before. Hailey Bieber contours her cheekbones with a 'bronzing wand' that is also a self-tanner - get her sculpted glow for $28 Up until about three years ago I didn't even use a brush to apply my foundation, I'd slather it onto my face with my fingers before puffing some loose powder on top and hoping for the best. It was only when Instagram started sneaking makeup tips into my feed that I was finally 'influenced' into buying a brush. Advertisement Clearly my algorithm was trying to tell me something. And now, as I continue to age like a corked wine, social media is at it again. With statistics indicating that 56 per cent of women with a double chin would contemplate surgery, and a whopping 36 per cent of people would avoid being photographed because of it, it seems like as good a time as any to log into TikTok and learn the art of contouring. It's long overdue. For years I'd be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when I wasn't looking, as I would never look nice unless I was front facing, chin tilted to a perfect angle. Advertisement Frankly, it's exhausting. I thought about a thread lift, an invasive surgical method that would involve using threads to pull back the skin and create a mini face lift, but figured I'd prioritise having kids before I did anything too drastic. I even contemplated Kim Kardashian's recently launched SKIMS 'shapewear for the face' - a mask that retails at £52 and promises you a 'sculpted jawline'. However, I was slightly put off when Dr Rosh, a respected aesthetics practitioner, called the product 'an utter load of rubbish', which would have 'zero benefit.' Advertisement Since having my children, Sophie, three, and Marnie, four months, I've been surviving on Diet Coke and air as I juggle night feeds and toddler classes with my job as a writer. I don't think the fizz has helped my face. It means the spare 'gullet' beneath my pointy chin is hanging lower and seems saggier than ever. 6 Sarah used to be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when she wasn't looking and couldn't tilt her chin to the perfect angle Credit: Supplied Without ditching my fave drink, how on earth could a simple makeup hack change that? Was the 53 method the answer to my prayers? Or was it really too good to be true? Advertisement The main draw of the method is its simplicity. I've watched various contouring videos and aside from the fact it appears to use up a hell of a lot of product, at no doubt huge expense, the whole operation looks complicated and time consuming. Some videos show the entire process done and dusted in under a minute. Which, as someone who likes to be ready in five, is very appealing. I give it a go using two products: Mac's full coverage foundation and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette. Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. Make-up Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. Nails 2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails. I've now watched many 53 videos for research, to try and perfect the technique but on my first try with actual makeup I find it quite difficult. I have to keep practicing the shape with a clean brush and then I have to ensure I use enough product. It turns out you need a fair bit of it to make it work. Luckily, I have makeup artist Lisa Sloneem on hand to help me and with some gentle guidance from her, I'm finally done. My face feels heavy and I worry that in daylight I'm going to look like a clown. I'm not used to wearing so much product. But that's beside the point, I want to see if this really will give me the 'snatched' jawline it promised. Advertisement And the answer is… it really does. There's no doubt that when done right, the 53 method can give you the illusion of a firmer jaw. The trusty jowls are still there, but I must confess they aren't as noticeable. The colour on my cheekbones seems to make my whole face more angular, the contouring has worked as a mini facelift, it makes it look like everything is pulled up towards my eyes. It's incredibly clever. I look like I've been airbrushed. 6 First up, it's Mac's full coverage foundation Credit: MAC Cosmetics 6 And Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette Credit: Boots Advertisement That said, I'm not sure I'd be inclined to do this daily. Yes, once you get the hang of it it's not that difficult to master. But you use a lot of product and it takes a lot longer than the speedily edited TikTok vids would have you believe. Lisa agrees. 'It's not as straightforward as you'd think, it takes a lot more blending and a lot more time,' she says. 'In terms of the positioning of the 5 and the 3, it's a good hack. The numbers highlight the face in the perfect way to lift the face, so it's great for beginners but you need to take time to blend properly.' I get home to show my partner Jamie, who seems fascinated by the artistry. 'Your face is a different colour,' he muses, helpfully. However, he doesn't mention my chins – or lack of - which was my main aim for trying this. Advertisement As one of three people, along with our daughters, who look at my face the most, he is used to me, and it's clear that the method hasn't made a big enough difference for him to comment. Maybe if there was a big night out or a family photoshoot or something similar, I'd dig out the foundation and contour again. But as a regular solution for the jowls, it's not worth the effort to do daily. I'd better start saving for that thread lift.

Wife insists ‘3-hour night' is perfect for saving your marriage – you don't even need to spend full time with husband
A WIFE is sharing her secret '3-hour rule' that keeps her marriage alive, and other married couples can't get enough of it. TikToker Rachel Higgins posted a video sharing the simple way she and her husband manage to reconnect after long days. 2 Higgins and her husband began following a three-hour night back in 2024, and the mother said it has been a 'game changer' in their relationship. What is the three-hour night? Higgins explains it as dividing up three hours into three different sections, which allows them to accomplish chores and connect. Higgins and her husband would previously spend the entire night taking care of their young daughter, lounging on the couch while scrolling through their phones, and then going to bed. However, after prioritizing their relationship, their nights take on a slightly different look. 'What we do is after my daughter goes to bed…we take an hour of productive time,' Higgins explained. 'Anything that's productive for the household.' During the productive hour, they do chores that they couldn't accomplish throughout the day, such as cleaning the kitchen or laundry. 'The second hour we're dedicating to our marriage. 'During this time, we put our phones away and we're solely dedicated to each other and to our marriage.' Higgins said that this hour can look a little different every night. How can I bring up kinks with my partner? Some nights it may mean taking a shower together, while others it may just be as simple as playing a game together. The purpose of this hour is to debrief, discuss, and connect. 'The last hour is about taking time to yourself,' she said. In the final hour, both of them can do whatever they want without judgment. Carson Daly's relationship rule In 2024, Carson Daly revealed his secret relationship rule to People: Daly told People that he and his wife, Siri Pinter, sleep in separate rules. 'It's been good for us,' said the Today host before revealing that he and Siri 'secretly love it.' Daly isn't the only celebrity to participate in the "sleep divorce" trend. Cameron Diaz said in 2023 that she and her husband Benji Madden also sleep in different rooms. 'We should normalize separate bedrooms,' she said. "To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours." This may be lying on the couch, on your phone, or any other self-care activities you need to do. 'Main point is to inspire you to be intentional with your time if you feel stuck doing the same thing every night like we did,' Higgins wrote in the comments. 'No hard rules.' Higgins said that they don't necessarily accomplish their three-hour night goal every night, but they try to do it three to four times a week. The mother said that even just succeeding one night a week can be enough. Higgins' three-hour night drew the attention of over 300,000 TikTok users, with many people rushing to the comments to support the idea or question how she manages to make it work.
