Jeremy Clarkson has opened his new pub today, with hundreds of fans queuing for hours to be first through the doors.
Based in Asthall, near Burford in Oxfordshire, The Farmer's Dog opened to the public at midday. Many people travelled long distances to the idyllic location outside of the Cotswold village, where the former Top Gear presenter bought a pub known as The Windmill for just under £1 million two months ago. But there are concerns the enterprise could bring more traffic problems, following the success of his Diddly Squat farm shop, and the new pub car park was full within one hour of opening.
"So, we thought instead of building a restaurant we would buy a pub."He described getting ready for the opening as 'terribly stressful'."There's just so many things about running a pub you don't think about." As dozens of people surged forward with mobile phones, Clarkson apologised and said he would not be able to do any ‘selfies’.Several people in the crowd shouted out ‘good on you Jeremy’ and ‘good luck’.
