Jeremy Clarkson, the star of Clarkson’s Farm, has taken to social media to express his gratitude to the staff of his Cotswolds pub, The Farmer’s Dog, for its successful first year of operation.
The pub, which opened in August 2024 amidst a significant walkout by employees, was documented on his Prime Video show.
The 65-year-old posted a picture of the pub’s sign on Instagram and wrote, “Exactly a year ago, we opened The Farmer’s Dog to support British farming.
“Today, there are 146 people on the payroll, and I’d like to thank every single one of them for making it such a roaring success.”
Fans were quick to congratulate the former Top Gear presenter on his accomplishment.
One retailer of his Hawkstone beer revealed their own celebration of his business achievements, writing: “Congratulations! We are proud sellers of Hawkstone and have sold almost 6000 bottles in just over a year! Good going for a small indie shop.
“Not only are you providing jobs, you are helping small businesses like mine keep going during tough times. Cheers.”
Another follower chimed in with: “Happy first birthday! We just visited yesterday, what a wonderful creation,” reports the Express.
A third fan added: “I hope everyone within the farmers’ cooperative is thriving through the enterprise, too. I’ve visited twice and had a great time. Lovely staff, great location, wonderful food.”
Someone else expressed support by saying, “I look forward to visiting soon; it’s just up the road for me.”
The Farmer’s Dog, a pub situated roughly 10 miles south of Diddly Squat Farm along the winding A40 in the Oxfordshire countryside, was formerly known as The Windmill.
Jeremy reportedly purchased the property for “less than £1million”, only to find out it had been used as a dogging site by some particularly adventurous locals.
Fortunately, the pub has since undergone a complete renovation, which includes a striking chrome tractor suspended in the bar area.
