Jeremy Clarkson announces big change to Farmer's Dog pub after customer's bold demand
The Clarkson Farm star has announced a change to operations after one customer's cheeky request.
Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, has made a noteworthy change to its operations after a request from a bold customer. The Clarkson's Farm star, has seemingly shown off his softer side with his latest decision to change his establishment's rules.
Over the weekend, one hopeful fan reached out to Jeremy on X, asking: "Can you open your pub for me about six hours earlier on Monday, please? I was going to visit, but didn't realise you don't open until 5pm." The former Top Gear host replied: "Mondays are when our brilliant staff catch their breath."
However, it appears that the 64-year-old TV star has had a recent rethink about the opening hours since replying to the fan. An update on the pub's Facebook page showed a group snap of the staff alongside the announcement of a new policy.
The caption announced that Monday's would now be a day of rest for the entire team, the Express reports.
It read: "We are giving our team Mondays to spend time recharging – we will be fully open Tuesday to Sunday in both the pub and the Grand Tour tent."
The pub's website has also now been updated to reflect the new opening times.
While the pub will be closed on Mondays going forward, it will still welcome customers six days a week from 11am to 11pm from Tuesday to Saturday.
On Sundays, the iconic pub will be open from 11am to 10.30pm.
Jeremy acquired the Asthall pub located in the picturesque Cotswolds for £1M, back when it was known as The Windmill.
After revamping the pub and renaming it to The Farmer's Dog, which is believed to be a tribute to his Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm and his Diddly Squat Farm venture, the venue opened last August and has been thriving ever since.
The pub's official website states: "The Pub isn't the only attraction at The Farmer's Dog. If the pub is full, or you fancy a quicker visit, head outside to our tent and check out: Hops and Chops, The Farmer's Puppy and Diddly Squat Farm Shop."
Hops and Chops offers customers a carnivore's delight with its butchery and bottle shop combo, showcasing British-reared meats as well as Hawkstone lager or cider.
Meanwhile, The Farmer's Puppy is essentially a mini version of the main pub, catering to customers during the bustling hours of 9.30am to 3pm from Tuesday to Thursdays. Opening hours extend to 4pm on weekends.
The Diddly Squat Farm Shop is also a tempting treat for customers, being branded as "the best of the farm".
It offers a posh emporium for those looking for something special.
