Jeremy Clarkson defends his pub's 'extortionate' £24 pie and tells critics to 'enjoy your chlorine'
Jeremy Clarkson defends his pub's 'extortionate' £24 pie and tells critics to 'enjoy your chlorine' The Clarkson's Farm host has hit back at a customer who complained about the price of a steak pie at his The Farmer's Dog boozer Jeremy Clarkson defended his pies (Image: PA ) Jeremy Clarkson has defended the £24 price tag on his pub's steak pie, telling customers who balk at it to "enjoy your chlorine". The Clarkson's Farm host explained he pays a "premium" for high-quality local beef included in the dish served at his The Farmer's Dog pub, which is featured on the hit Amazon Prime show. He also suggested that those unwilling to try his offering should take their chances on chemical-induced alternatives elsewhere, reports the Daily Star. The former Top Gear host was quick to respond to criticisms over pricing after receiving a pointed message on X stating: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Clarkson, 65, replied: "Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job."

Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don't want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine." Clarkson was met with fury over prices at his pub, but many fans jumped to his defence (Image: X ) The new series of Clarkson's Farm has shown the TV star battling a mountain of rocketing bills to open the pub near his Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxon. He nearly threw up from the stench in one episode as the boozer's old septic tank was repaired. Article continues below Since the pub opened it has become a massive hit - though Clarkson claimed at one point he was losing £10-per-customer. Its menu offers 'steak pie, mash, carrots, seasonal greens and Hawkstone gravy' for £24. The pub's website boasts: "Our menu is made entirely with ingredients produced on British farms. It'll change based on what's in season, but it'll always be absolutely f****** delicious. Take a look and see what takes your fancy." Some individuals on X have called the pie 'f****** extortionate' and accused the owner of being 'tight', with one commenting sarcastically: "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask." Yet, the majority are in his corner - especially those who have sampled the pie themselves. There were even suggestions he should increase the price. A satisfied customer tweeted: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!". Another wrote: "Ah! But what pie!" While one said: "Worth every penny." One of Clarkson's regulars said: "Best pub in the world is not for you, stick to McDonalds." Jason Rees, a customer, said: "Having eaten in @JeremyClarkson's pub and expecting it to be overhyped and average I was so impressed with the food we rebooked, as soon as we could, to repeat the experience. It's not cheap food but the quality was outstanding." Coronation Street icon Vicky Entwistle, 56, famed for her role as Janice Battersby and appearance in Celebrity Big Brother, remarked: "I think that price is want to visit my village pub up north the prices are through the roof." Mark Polden, an economics student, weighed in: "Most pub food is garbage, quality food, service, and a pleasant environment are expensive to provide and in the greater scheme of things £24 isn't a lot for that combination." Kris Shortland chimed in with a message explaining the costs involved: "You're paying for farmer, transport, slaughter, handling, butcher, chef, rates, tax, insurances, staff, other overheads. I'd be surprised if he's making more than a few quid profit per plate with all the rising costs, setup costs etc. He's lucky that he has other income streams." Article continues below Another supporter suggested the quality of ingredients justifies the price: "I'm guessing it's using unprocessed ingredients and fresh veg. There's a saying you get what you pay for. You could have a Dacia Duster pie meal for £10 rr a Mercedes pie for £24."

The Stig on Clarkson's Farm episodes? New mystery cast member teased
Fans have joked about The Stig being the mystery guest who could be reuniting with Jeremy Clarkson after a new cast member was announced for Clarkson's Farm series four. Mr Clarkson presented Top Gear on the BBC from 2002 until 2015 with the character of The Stig a regular feature throughout. Joined by James May and Richard Hammond, The Stig was dressed all in white with his identity rarely revealed and largely kept a mystery. Taking part in racing laps, the character was a play on the anonymity of racing drivers' full-face helmets, created by Mr Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman. READ MORE: First look at Clarkson's Farm series four as trailer released The Clarkson's Farm cast. (Image: Prime Video) The famous trio later left the show and The Stig behind and began The Grand Tour on Prime Video which concluded last year. Mr Clarkson has since turned his attention to agriculture with the hugely popular Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm. Taking place at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, the documentary shows the TV host getting to grips with farming. With three seasons already released, a fourth instalment will be available to fans from Friday, May 23 on Amazon's streaming service.

The trailer for the new season was released earlier today (Thursday, May 8) and an accompanying write-up teased a new cast member. A teasing statement said: "The welcome arrival of a new farmhand not only gets the farm shipshape in record time - it also gives Jeremy time to think." Fans have been quick to speculate if it would be a familiar face reuniting with Mr Clarkson such as Mr May or Mr Hammond. One superfan, who lives in Oxford and asked not to be named, told us: "It would be great if it was The Stig but I can't imagine him getting any new lap records with that tractor."
