In the latest episode of Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video, Jeremy Clarkson faced a significant challenge with his new pub venture. He had ambitious plans to create an array of attractions on-site including a shop for Lisa and a butcher’s counter. However, experts advised him that the available space would not accommodate everything, especially given the large storage requirements.
Clarkson was informed it would be difficult to offer a full range of produce, such as every cut of beef, simultaneously. Struggling with these logistical hurdles and admitting he was losing sleep over the situation, Jeremy devised a brilliant plan to maximize space without incurring excessive costs.
He reached out to Andy Wilman, executive producer of The Grand Tour, asking about the cleverly designed Grand Tour tent. To his surprise, Andy revealed the massive tent was tucked away in a warehouse and couldn’t be discarded. Seizing the opportunity, Jeremy decided to relocate the tent to the pub’s lawn.

With the tent erected, it would provide ample additional space for Lisa’s shop, the butcher’s counter, and even a burger van. This move allowed Jeremy to sell cuts of meat that wouldn’t fit in the pub kitchen, ensuring that every part of the cow raised on the farm was utilized efficiently.
Experts confirmed this was a smart direction, and just two days later, the enormous tent arrived on two large lorries, prompting Jeremy’s astonished reaction: “That’s a s*** load of tent.” As the parts continued to arrive, he realized this solution put the pub venture firmly back on track, just four weeks before its grand opening.
Upcoming episodes will document Jeremy’s efforts to renovate the pub, where he continues to navigate the complexities of his ambitious plans. Fans of Clarkson’s Farm have already witnessed the successful opening of The Farmer’s Dog pub in August 2024, which now hosts a butcher’s shop named Hops and Chops, The Farmer’s Puppy bar and kitchen, and the Diddly Squat Farm Shop.
Clarkson’s inventive use of the Grand Tour tent is a testament to his resourcefulness, turning a storage problem into a multifaceted opportunity that benefits both the farm and his burgeoning pub business.
