Jeremy Clarkson issued stern response to food price complaints as people divided over receipt for Sunday lunch at his pub

Jeremy Clarkson has issued a stern response to anyone planning to complain about the food and drink prices at his pub.

The latest season of hit Amazon series Clarkson's Farm took fans behind-the-scenes for the chaotic opening of his pub, The Farmer's Dog, revealing how staff quit after a myriad of technical issues and high demands left the TV presenter and his team feeling very frazzled.

Fortunately for Clarkson, the establishment is now fully up and running, with customers and tourists flocking down to sample his homegrown cuisine.

However, that doesn't mean the day-to-day running of the pub is without issue, as customers have found themselves divided over the price of food at The Farmer's Dog.

One shocked punter went viral after revealing her rather pricey receipt after taking the family out for a Sunday roast, while another visitor was left shocked after paying £24 for a meal.

How much does a meal cost at Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog?

A quick look at The Farmer's Dog menu reveals that main meals are priced around the £20 to £24 mark, with a steak pie with vegetables and mash being one of the more expensive offerings on the list.

Meanwhile, a second woman shared a picture of her receipt revealing that a beef roast dinner costs £24 while a plate of mixed beef and pork will set you back £26.

The original poster believed she'd gotten a good deal, with five roast dinners and drinks totalling £174.04 (service charge included), however, not everyone was sure.

"Service charge added to parties of 1 or more? So everyone then," moaned one commenter, while a second compared the dinners to one you'd find at a number of chain pubs.

"Sorry. But that roast dinner looks like something from a Wetherspoons or Hungry Horse pub," they added.

Ouch.

What has Jeremy Clarkson said about the prices of food at his pub?

Given that Clarkson's entire goal with Diddly Squat farm and The Farmer's Dog is to back British farming, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he's fiercely defended the prices at his pub.

Explaining on to one person on X that meat comes either from his farm or other nearby locations, he wrote: "We are here to back British farming. If you don’t want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine."

Why does Jeremy Clarkson serve only British food at his pub?

Clarkson's determination to keep the offerings at The Farmer's Dog as British only means that popular items such as Coca-Cola, ketchup and coffee are firmly off the menu.

"I bought a pub which had a restaurant in it so that we could put the farming co-operative back together and then serve only British produce," he told Farmers Guardian.

He continued: "I only wanted to serve food and drink that was grown or reared in the UK. we are supporting British growers and rearers, and that was my goal."

Clarkson previously revealed the pitfalls of sticking to a strict 'British-only' produce rule in his The Sunday Times column, stating that something as small as black pepper would be as much as ten times more expensive to acquire domestically.
