Future of Clarkson's Farm sealed as Jeremy Clarkson purchases local pub

Clarkson's Farm is currently filming season four of the docuseries and there will be a new edition to the next episodes. Jeremy Clarkson recently revealed that he bought a pub near Diddly Squat Farm for close to £1million.

The broadcaster announced he had purchased The Windmill in Burford which he intends to rename Clarkson's Arms. He also said he will “ban confusing pub signs” and use local produce.

Viewers will be able to follow his progress as he renovates the bar and opens it to the public as it transpires it will be filmed as part of the forthcoming series. The pub is just a stone's throw from Diddly Squat and is Jeremy's latest attempt to enter the hospitality industry after a converted barn on the farm, which was intended to be a restaurant, was shut down after it breached council planning regulations.

"Viewers love following Jeremy and Kaleb Cooper at Diddly Squat so obviously it felt like a bit of a no-brainer to film their work on the pub as well as at the farm. Filming of series four is underway now but all the details are to be ironed out soon," a source told The Sun.

Jeremy has admitted the necessary works on the hostelry are unlikely to be completed before next year. He recently took to Instagram to update his followers on the project.

"We have much work to do, so will let you know when we can open," he wrote.

It’s entirely possible that I won’t get the place mended and open until the icy hand of winter has descended which means I'll have 80 people to pay every week, a quagmire for a car park and no customers because - as I've been told time and again - people just don't go to country pubs any more," he pondered.

Jeremy has previously opened up about his desire to own a bar. "I decided last year that I'd like to buy a pub," he has confessed.

"I dreamt as many men have dreamt in the past, of chatting with the regulars about nothing of any consequence and then having a Sunday roast with my family at my own table.

The 64-year-old has said he wants his bar to have "dogs and families around the fire" while serving all-British ingredients on the menu - with a ban on fruit machines and "confusing" toilet signs.

"Fun is in short supply, and fun is what I want to put back. There will be bar billiards, there will be darts.

"And in the corner, there will be a table with my name on it. A place where I can go on a Sunday with my granddaughter for some gammon, egg and chips."

The pub will also serve Jeremy's own Hawkstone Beer however he is presently unable to indulge in it himself as he revealed in a recent heatlh update.

"I've just received word from my doctor that my liver is a bit stiff and that I really need to quit drinking for a while," he confessed in his column for The Times.
