Jeremy Clarkson's Farm Restaurant Isn't Serving Vegetarian Options

Jeremy Clarkson's Farm Restaurant Isn't Serving Vegetarian Options

If you don't like beef, it's best not to book a table down at the Diddly Squat Restaurant

Jeremy Clarkson's restaurant at his famous Diddly Squat Farm has opened its doors - though they're effectively still closed to vegetarians and vegans.

Fans of Clarkson's Farm will know that the controversial broadcaster is perpetually at loggerheads with the local council over developments at his 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds, and his plans for a restaurant were initially blocked.

However, the 62-year-old announced the restaurant was opening last Friday (8 July) after discovering a 'delightful little loophole', posting a photo on Instagram of a blackboard that read: "Today's menu: beef from our farm."

On the reservation website OpenTable, it states there is 'no menu as such', but they 'don't cater to the faddy'.

It reads: "Before making your booking, you should know it's small, mostly outdoors and very rustic. Ordering a beer or going to the lavatory isn't as easy as in your local pub and we don’t cater to the faddy.

"We've done our best to keep you warm and dry, but this is England. On the upside, the view is enormous and almost everything you eat was grown or reared on our farm, so it's fresh with minimal food miles.

"There is no menu as such - we simply serve what's available that day. But worry not, your table will be given a selection of snacks and starters followed by a roast and a pudding."

If the popularity of his farm shop is anything to go by, you could struggle to get yourself a table at the restaurant. There were huge queues in Chaddlington last summer and police were called out after fans of Clarkson's Farm travelled from far and wide to try out his produce.

The show proved to be a huge hit.

Speaking about opening his new restaurant, Clarkson told The Sun: "We had planning permission turned down but we're opening anyway.

"Everyone at Diddly Squat has spent the last three months becoming an expert in planning regulations and we've found a delightful little loophole.

"We're going to sell all the stuff we produce on the farm and finally make some profit from the stuff we grow rather than run up losses."

It will come as no surprise to Clarkson fans that the menu is on the meaty side. In the first series of Clarkson's Farm (which has been renewed for another series), there is a brief moment where it seems as though he could become an unlikely convert to vegetarianism after taking his sheep to the slaughter - but soon enough he was eating them.

Speaking to LADbible last summer, he said: "I was present at all their births, I raised them, and I fed them, and I loved them, and I picked them up and cuddle them, and went 'Oh aren't they sweet?'

"They gambled around in the fields outside the house and made attractive noises, and now they're off to the abattoir.

"That's just, everybody likes a roast lamb - well, I do - on a Sunday, so that's where they went and I ate them."
