A fan of Jeremy Clarkson was left 'livid' after driving for three hours to visit the Farmer's Dog pub.

Since leaving Top Gear and The Grand Tour, Clarkson has built a reputation advocating for British farmers off the back of his Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm.

The farm, Diddly Squat, now receives thousands of visitors as fans flock to get the Clarkson experience, including at the obligatory pub The Farmer's Dog.

Demand has soared so much that the TV presenter turned farmer even had to strike a deal with a neighbour to expand the car park onto their land, with the pair each getting half of the £2 parking charge.

But one fan was less than impressed after making the journey to visit Diddly Squat and the Farmer's Dog.

Bill and his wife Emma from Essex are fans of Clarkson's Farm, and decided to make the trip up north to visit the farm, located near Chipping Norton.

The trip from Southend up to the Cotswolds took the pair some three hours, but Bill and Emma were intrigued by Clarkson's televisual exploits.

But on arrival they found themselves underwhelmed, with Billy vowing to 'never go back'.

The pair had got in line for food, but as they got to the front of the queue noticed that people had began mumbling and leaving.

Speaking to the Express, he said: “We arrived for lunchtime around 1pm and they let us all wait in line without announcing the kitchen was closed. Why not tell people before they stand outside for 30 minutes?”

When they got to the front of the queue they were met with a sign that said the kitchen was closed and only bar snacks would be on offer that day.

“The bar snacks on offer included pickled eggs, four sausages on a plate with a dip, and scotch eggs which didn’t look good. So no proper meals," he said.

"I was looking forward to trying a proper Lancashire hotpot, I didn’t drive all this way for pickled eggs."

As for his final verdict on The Farmer's Dog, Billy said it found it to be 'ordinary'.

“After all that, it’s a very ordinary pub," he said. "Very average, I was totally underwhelmed.

"It wasn’t just me, several people in line just walked off furious as well. I definitely will not be visiting again, I’m livid.”

Billy added that there was 'no sign of Jeremy Clarkson either!'

FOODBible has approached Diddly Squat Farm for comment.
