Overview

• Henry Southan’s TikTok critique described the £26 roast beef and pork as "really dry," compared the overflow parking trek to arriving at Glastonbury and joked he might be next on Clarkson’s banned list.
• While The Farmer’s Dog holds a 4.7-star Google rating for atmosphere and Sunday roasts, some guests report small portions, lukewarm dishes and forced service charges.
• Clarkson acknowledged he loses about £10 per diner by sourcing exclusively British ingredients and sets prices based on average Cotswold pub rates.
• Since opening in August 2024 and featuring in Clarkson’s Farm season four, the Asthall pub attracts thousands weekly, straining parking and queue systems.
• Mixed customer feedback underscores ongoing challenges as Clarkson integrates The Farmer’s Dog into his broader Diddly Squat Farm project.
