The Farmer’s Dog pub, made famous by the hit series Clarkson’s Farm, has become a major attraction in West Oxfordshire. Fans of the show frequently visit Jeremy Clarkson’s nearby Diddly Squat farm before enjoying a meal and a drink at the pub.
Formerly known as The Windmill, Clarkson purchased the pub in June 2024 for under £1 million and renamed it to reflect the brand of his Amazon Prime show. Despite some early challenges, the pub has flourished and now draws visitors nationwide.
On July 19, an X user tagged Clarkson, asking, “Can you open your pub for me about 6 hours earlier on Monday please? I was gonna visit, but didn’t realise you don’t open till 5.” Clarkson replied warmly, “Mondays is when our brilliant staff catch their breath,” emphasizing the importance of employee well-being.

The Farmer’s Dog operates from 12 pm to 11 pm Tuesday through Saturday, and 12 pm to 10:30 pm on Sundays. Appreciating Clarkson’s explanation, the user responded, “Completely understandable. We’ll be back another time to visit! Loving the Riverside festival at the mo!”
Clarkson’s own drinks brand, Hawkstone, is featured on the menu alongside various lagers, IPAs, and ciders. Food offerings include traditional British pub fare such as sausage and mash, gammon with bubble and squeak, Lancashire hotpot, steak pie, and vegetable and cheddar crumble.
Adding to the experience, the pub offers an outdoor dining area called The Tent, which includes The Farmer’s Puppy—a smaller bar and kitchen optimized for al fresco diners. The pub also boasts its own butcher shop, Hop & Chops, specializing in premium British-reared meats.
Guests can also explore the Diddly Squat Farm Shop on site, selling local produce including Clarkson and Lisa Hogan’s famous potatoes, alongside products like Bee Juice Whiskey and blackberry jam.
Earlier this year, Clarkson revealed to The Times that Farmer’s Dog, which employs nearly 150 people, will be his final business venture. He stated, “I’m done with business now. I am not starting another business as long as I live. I don’t understand it and am not motivated by money. I just want a good craic.”
