Jeremy Clarkson bans fans from his pub The Farmer's Dog over Clarkson's Farm price row

Jeremy Clarkson has responded after Clarkson’s Farm fans were outraged at the price of a pie at his new pub, The Farmer’s Dog. The pub has been at the centre of the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The first six episodes of Clarkson’s Farm 4 are now available on the service, with another two to follow this Friday. As well as the departure of Kaleb Cooper and the arrival of new star Harriet Cowan, Jeremy’s bid to open a new pub in the Cotswolds has been the key storyline of the latest batch of episodes. The pub, which since the series was filmed has opened and attracted huge crowds, was renovated by Jeremy along with help from girlfriend Lisa Hogan.

During the show, Jeremy reformed his collective of local farmers, who he had agreed to help out by buying their produce for his pub along with his own beef, in a bid to make sure everything sold in the pub and Lisa’s farm shop could be sourced locally and with British produce while still being an affordable price.

But some Clarkson’s Farm fans say they have a slightly different view on what is affordable, as they hit out at the £24 asking price for a pie and veg at the new pub.

Taking to Twitter, user @kalrlk said: “Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much.”

@devonboy3410 said: “Dead weight for British beef is far too expensive £6.89/kg for R4L down from the record high £6.98/kg earlier in the month. I can't wait till we get US beef cuts here because British beef industry is now taking the p*** at those prices.”

Jeremy then replied to tell them: “You are now banned from the pub.”

Another said to Jeremy: “@grok what would be the price in the UK to buy and raise local cows and how does that translate to the beef pie price of 24 British pounds.”

Jeremy replied: “Watch the show. It’s explained.”

@cudaplumcrazy said: “Your cows aren’t they Jeremy?”, to which Clarkson said: “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.”

Others on the Clarkson’s Farm sub-Reddit weighed in to defend Jeremy. @iam3ass said: “Farm to table, is always more expensive. He is not running a charity.

“I would prefer to pay a little more [for] something good, than a cheap price and be disappointed. Now if the price is high and the quality is not good, then yeah, that’s a legitimate complaint.”

@vondinky said: “Sourcing everything nearby adds a lot of cost. But it’s probably way more healthy than what you get in the normal shop. You know it’s fresh, so you have to pay a premium for that privilege.”

A week earlier, Jeremy had extended an invitation to anyone to come to his new pub. He tweeted: “If you can’t get a reservation at the Farmer’s Dog, don’t worry. Come along anyway. Head to the tent in the garden, grab a pint and something to eat and sit outside. The food’s brilliant and the view will make your hair itch. It’s amazing. Bring the dog. And the kids. Or don’t.”

The first six new episodes of Clarkson’s Farm 4 are now available on Amazon Prime Video, with the final two episodes available from 1am on Friday, June 6.
