A woman has taken to social media to share her experience of dining at Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, and while she gave the food a glowing review, the prices sparked debate.
One visit to Jeremy Clarkson 's pub, The Farmer's Dog, has sparked a flurry of discussion among people over the cost of its menu. Amy Robinson, 20, made the journey to what Clarkson describes as a "proper British" pub.
She also documented her dining experience on TikTok, giving the grub a flawless "10/10" whilst praising its exceptional taste. However the clip, which has racked up more than 50,000 views, also drew attention to the hefty cost of eating at the venue.
‌
The Farmer's Dog, situated in Asthall near Burford in Oxfordshire is a property the former Top Gear host secured for less than £1 million, formerly called The Windmill, as reported by the Mirror.
‌
Amy's review featured the pub's al fresco dining area and the elegantly presented dishes, though viewers were quick to note the pricing as they quizzed her on it.
"Fancy sausage and mash was around the £20.00 mark. Drinks were around £7.00."
However, one person came to the defence, observing: "You must be from Oxfordshire like me. We thought prices were normal, but people who had travelled were having a fit."
Whilst certain customers considered the charges to be what some people would"expect" at a countryside pub, views among many on social media remained split.
‌
One voiced their astonishment, declaring: "The prices are insane." The website indicates that meal prices vary, with a steak pie commanding £24.00 and a gammon steak at £22.00.
Drinkers may find themselves paying around £6.75 for a pint, though this price can fluctuate depending on the drink selected. While some consider the menu prices to be on the higher side, others believe the culinary experience is "worth every penny."
‌
One satisfied diner commented: "Great place, great staff, great atmosphere, great food." A different customer recounted their positive experience, adding "Had a Sunday roast here recently with my family. Food is 100% - all products locally sourced. I will be returning."
Echoing the feedback, someone else added: "It's amazing here. I've been three times now." Jeremy Clarkson, known for his agricultural pursuits in Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm, has also taken a foray into the pub business with The Farmer's Dog.
This new venture is featured in Season 4 of his Amazon Prime reality series, where the ex-Top Gear presenter takes on "his most ambitious project yet."
The series offers an inside look at Clarkson's latest challenge as he acquires a pub to realise his Farm to Fork restaurant dream, with the official synopsis stating: "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."
