More info Jeremy Clarkson has cheekily hit back at patrons complaining about the £24 cost of a steak pie at his pub, quipping: "Enjoy your chlorine". The 65 year old Clarkson's Farm star is adamant about paying 'premium' prices for high-quality local beef used in the pies at The Farmer's Dog, the establishment featured in the Amazon series. Clarkson implied that those who find the price steep might opt for cheaper, chemically-treated meat instead. The forthright former Top Gear host responded to a dissatisfied customer who reached out on social media, lamenting: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Clarkson, never one to dodge confrontation, retorted: "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." The latest instalment of Clarkson's Farm follows Clarkson as he grapples with rising costs while launching his pub near Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxon. One notable scene features him recoiling from the stench while restoring the pub's ancient septic tank, reports the Mirror. The Farmer's Dog, which opened in August committed to serving only local fare, has captured the hearts of many despite Jeremy Clarkson's frank admission that the venture was initially making a loss of £10 per customer. The current menu proudly showcases a 'steak pie, mash, carrots, seasonal greens and Hawkstone gravy' priced at £24. Promoting unabashedly British cuisine, the pub's website says: "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." Critics on social media have deemed the price of the pie 'f****** extortionate' and have branded Clarkson 'tight', with one making the jibe: "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask." However, those who've actually tasted the pub's offerings are full of praise, some even suggesting the prices could be pushed higher. One satisfied customer claimed victory on Twitter, saying: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!". Praise continued from another admirer with the words: "Ah! But what pie", while a further comment stated: "Worth every penny." Echoing the sentiment, a happy regular opined: "Best pub in the world is not for you, stick to McDonalds." Adding to the endorsements, diner Jason Rees recounted his experience: "Having eaten in @JeremyClarkson's pub and expecting it to be over hyped and average I was so impressed with the food we rebooked, as soon as we could, to repeat the experience." He also emphasised: "It's not cheap food but the quality was outstanding." Corrie legend Vicky Entwistle, 56, best known for portraying Janice Battersby and appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, opined: "I think that price is want to visit my village pub up north the prices are through the roof." One fan remarked in agreement: "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." Another retort aimed at a detractor was: "You must be a complete idiot! £4 is vat Then you take off the price of the fresh ingredients, then the staffs salary, Nat ins, and employer pension contribution, then the non domestic rates, gas and electric, rent. There will not be much left at all. Price should be £30." (Image: PA)

Jeremy Clarkson's furious response as fan complains about £24 steak pie at pub
TV's Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has hit back at a moaning customer who complained about the price of the steak pie at his pub - and told them 'enjoy your chlorine' Jeremy Clarkson hit back at customers grumbling about the £24 price tag on his pub's steak pie, cheekily retorting: "Enjoy your chlorine". The star of Clarkson's Farm, 65, has insisted on paying 'premium' prices for top-quality local beef for the pies served up at The Farmer's Dog, the pub showcased in the Amazon series. Clarkson suggested that those balking at the cost could resort to less scrumptious, chemically-treated alternatives. The sharp-tongued ex Top Gear presenter delivered the rebuff following criticism from a disgruntled punter who contacted him on social media, griping: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Never one to shy away from a challenge, Clarkson fired back: "Have you seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job." In response to another query, "Your cows aren't they Jeremy?" Clarkson clarified: "Some are. 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." The recent series of Clarkson's Farm documents Clarkson's struggle against soaring expenses as he opens his pub near Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxon. One memorable episode saw him gagging from the foul odour while rehabilitating the pub's old septic tank. Since launching in August with a commitment to only offering local fare, The Farmer's Dog has garnered widespread acclaim – despite Clarkson conceding he was at one stage losing £10 per patron. Its current menu lists 'steak pie, mash, carrots, seasonal greens and Hawkstone gravy' for the sum of £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 on X slammed the pie as 'f****** extortionate' and labelled him 'tight', with one quipping: "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask." Yet, many rallied behind him - especially those who've sampled the pie themselves, with suggestions even coming in that he should hike the price further. A fan took to Twitter, proclaiming: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local produce - stop whinging!". Another enthusiast simply exclaimed: "Ah! But what pie". And another chimed in: "Worth every penny." A regular at Clarkson's establishment declared: "Best pub in the world is not for you, stick to McDonalds." Meanwhile, patron Jason Rees shared: "Having eaten in @JeremyClarkson's pub and expecting it to be over hyped and average I was so impressed with the food we rebooked, as soon as we could, to repeat the experience." He added: "It's not cheap food but the quality was outstanding."

Another supporter commented: "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." Yet another addressed a complainer, saying: "You must be a complete idiot! £4 is vat Then you take off the price of the fresh ingredients, then the staffs salary, Nat ins, and employer pension contribution, then the non domestic rates, gas and electric, rent.

Jeremy Clarkson asks Piers Morgan for help 21 years after punching him
Jeremy Clarkson turns to Piers Morgan for advice when buying The Farmer's Dog pub on Clarkson's Farm, despite their previous feud. The farmer calls the ex-Good Morning Britain host his "dear friend for decades" when he comes to him for tips on being a pub landlord in episode five of the Prime Video series, released on Friday. Their disagreements have played out very publicly in the spotlight. It was headline news in 2004 when Clarkson punched Morgan at the British Press Awards. A decade later, Clarkson recalled the incident saying Morgan had written "unpleasant stories" about him and thought it was a "joke" which fuelled him to punch him three times. He wrote in The Times in 2014: "'Why's your f****** wife looking at me like that?' he [Morgan] thundered. So I punched him. And then I punched him again. And then I thought: 'You know what? I don't think this would ever get boring.' So I punched him again. And, annoyingly, broke my finger." In another incident on the very last flight of Concorde into London where Clarkson poured water over Morgan's crotch and then told journalists on the steps: " idiot's wet himself" Fast forward to now, they have made up and Clarkson asks Morgan for his help. The surprising scene plays out on the Prime Video series. The presenter explains he was reaching out to "various mates" to make sure he wasn't making a "big mistake" with the pub. In the voiceover, Clarkson says: "I started with a chap who has been a dear friend for decades." So it may surprise Clarkson's Farm viewers to find out this person is in fact Morgan. They video call one morning to catch up before Clarkson signs on the dotted line for The Farmer's Dog which at the time was known as The Windmill. "Morning is that you?" He says in episode five. "Have you got any advice?" And it turns out Morgan does have some good advice, having previously bought pub Hansom Cab on Earl's Court Road, Kensington, West London in 2010. Watch Clarkson's Farm season four trailer below The TV personality has a brutal warning for Clarkson about theft that happens at pubs. He tells him: "People steal stuff from pubs. Every publican will tell you. They'll nick the salt and pepper pots. They'll nick knives and forks. They might even nick plates. They'll nick any art they can rip off the walls." The journalist's words prove to be true as Clarkson has since spoken about the theft he has experienced at The Farmer's Dog. He revealed 104 glasses were stolen on one Sunday last year. In the new year, Clarkson unveiled a plan to tackle the thefts at The Farmer's Dog. Morgan isn't the only celebrity friend who gives Clarkson advice ahead of The Farmer's Dog opening in August last year. Singer James Blunt, who owns The Fox & Pheasant pub in London's Chelsea, had some words of warning too. He tells Clarkson in new scenes: "Obviously drink driving is an issue. In the countryside. That's why you want it in a central hub somewhere so there's a mass of people so they can walk home or people can easily get taxis home." Clarkson replies: "It's near no building of any sort. The nearest village is five miles away." Blunt makes light of the bad situation saying: "Maybe if you're lucky they'll relax the drink driving laws!" He also points out that there can be issues with staffing. Blunt adds: "Staffing is so tricky nowadays because people just don't want to work those kind of hours. It's hard work. Normally they're overseas labourers. So again, as long as Brexit doesn't go through you'll be fine as well." Film director Guy Ritchie, who owns pubs Lore of the Land in Fitzrovia and The Punchbowl in Mayfair, calls Clarkson to share some words of wisdom. He says: "You'll look at it. It looks like you're making £50k a week and then it transpires that you are losing £10k a week." And of course, Clarkson's long-time friend and former The Grand Tour co-host James May makes an appearance. May has had the pub The Royal Oak in the Wiltshire countryside for some time. His warning was all about the hidden costs. May says: "Energy costs. Staff costs. Ingredients costs. Building maintenance costs. Insurance costs. Accountancy costs. Lawn keeping costs. Re-thatching costs in my case. Gravelling costs. Mending the car park costs. Staff costs if I haven't said that already." Off-screen, May spoke about this moment to Yahoo UK in October 2024. "He did ask me [for advice] and I said 'don't do it if you're thinking of it as a business venture because you don't make any money,'" May told Yahoo UK. "I haven't talked to him about it recently but I got the impression that he was having quite a bit of trouble and losing quite a bit of money, which is how it tends to go, certainly to begin with. "But, I mean, he does have an advantage. He's got a big pub and a big car park, we're very strangled on our car park, and obviously he's a very popular bloke and people are very interested to go and try his pub, so if he can't make it work he's a bit of a f***wit really." Clarkson's Farm season four episodes five and six are now available to stream on Prime Video from Friday.

Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa drops revealing admission about their sex life
Lisa Hogan, the girlfriend of Jeremy Clarkson, has shared an insight into the particulars of her sex life with the former Top Gear presenter. Jeremy and Lisa have been in a relationship since 2017, and appear together as the stars of Clarkson's Farm for Amazon Prime Video. Former actress and artist Lisa, 51, has been a fixture at Diddly Squat in the Cotswolds since the show's first season, assisting boyfriend Jeremy, 65, as he attempts to navigate the running of his 1,000-acre farm. The show has recently returned to the streaming service for its fourth series, following the presenter and journalist as he extends the farm's purview to include a nearby pub, The Farmer's Dog. Additionally, the farm's ranks have grown to include a glamorous new farmhand in 24-year-old Harriet Cowan. And, as Harriet educated Jeremy on the particulars of pig anatomy, Lisa dropped a scathing comment about Jeremy's bedroom prowess. As Jeremy and Harriet welcomed a new male pig to the farm, she took the time to point out the female pigs' 'little clitoris' to her boss. Taken aback, Jeremy replied: 'Pigs have clitorises? I didn't know that this morning. There has been no morning in the last 63 years that I've known that.' As she shared the news of Jeremy's education with Lisa, Harriet said: 'He says you can't see it [the clitoris].' To which Lisa replied: 'Oh, Jesus – he can't find it either, I can tell you.' She turned to Jeremy and asked: 'Do you not know what a clitoris looks like? Have you never found one? You've never seen one? It's the start of the vagina, love.' Ouch. Jeremy met former model and actress Lisa at a party through mutual friends, and became a couple in 2017, after an extended period of 'courting.' 'It was quite a long courtship, as I didn't know where he was in his life. And I wasn't ready to start dating again; didn't want to go out with anyone,' she once told The Times. 'He had to court me for three months.' Prior to meeting The Grand Tour star, Lisa worked as a researcher for John Cleese in the 1990s. As an actress, she made her debut in the 1997 film Fierce Creatures, where she played a sea lion keeper, appearing opposite Monty Python legends John Cleese and Michael Palin, and alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. She shares three children with ex-husband Baron Steven Bentinck, a Madrid-based private art collector. Marrying in the 1990s, the pair shared children Wolfe, Alice and Lizzy, before splitting in 2005 and finalising their divorce in 2011. Lisa hasn't acted since her film debut, going on to become a sculptor before joining Jeremy on Diddly Squat. In addition to managing the farm shop and lifestyle brand, Lisa is working on her own perfume, candle and homeware range – with plans to establish kids' and gardening ware too. More Trending Lisa revealed how Jeremy tempted her to move to the Cotswolds by asking her to run the farm shop. 'It was a way of getting me down here…I think Jeremy wanted me to move down here full-time, but if he'd said that to me I might have just said no,' she said. 'I said I would do it, but I want to be able to do what I want to do in it.' View More » Series 4 of Clarkson's Farm is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video. Got a story?
