Jeremy Clarkson bans item from pub because it's 'not 100% British'

Jeremy Clarkson has imposed yet another ban at his Cotswolds establishment, The Farmer's Dog, after a customer's failed bid to bring a birthday cake onto the premises. Staff at the venue replied with a polite but resolute refusal, explaining that Clarkson's stringent policy-demanding all ingredients used at the Cotswolds pub must come from within 16 miles-extends even to special occasions.

It was reported that the email stated: "As part of our commitment to back British farming, we kindly ask that only 100% British food products are brought into the pub; this sadly includes birthday cakes." Clarkson, 65, has been forthright about his commitment to championing local produce, a philosophy that forms the foundation of both his Amazon Prime programme Clarkson's Farm and his newest business endeavour. The former Top Gear presenter launched The Farmer's Dog in 2024 on the site of a previously closed pub in Asthall, near Burford, in the Cotswolds-roughly 12 miles from Diddly Squat Farm, where he also runs his agricultural operation.
