Ariane Sohrabi-Shiraz checked out the famous farm in the Cotswolds
Thousands of people flocked to take a look inside Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop when it reopened last month.
At 10.30am on a Thursday I didn't expect there already to be a queue across the field – but it appears I wasn't the only one who wanted to see what the farm shop had to offer. I did the same ritual as everyone else – posed for a picture in front of the Diddly Squat sign before joining the back of the queue, which was getting longer by the minute as more people started to arrive.
As you queue you can spot several signs like these, as well as hundreds of markings on the side of the wooden building where people have written their names and where they have come from. After an hour spent trying to entertain myself by reading the signs and the casual vandalism, I realised the queue behind me had tripled.
Curiously, they didn't offer receipts at the till either, so it was a real mystery experience when purchasing anything. I was getting hungry myself, so I ventured to the back of the building where there's a full bar serving Clarkson's own Hawkstone beer, table seating overlooking the so-called Big View and a burger van. On the Diddly Squat website, they promise "the best hamburgers in the world" – so I had to give it a go.
I was told the potatoes come from a various different farms, as well as Clarkson's farm itself – depending on the time of year. The star of the show was no doubt the burger, which came with mature cheddar, homemade sauce, Hawkstone caramelised onions, pickles and salad.
