Overview

  • The Farmer's Dog pub exclusively sources British produce, leading to the absence of common items like Coca-Cola, ketchup, pepper, and coffee.
  • Jeremy Clarkson has admitted to losing approximately £10 per customer due to the high costs of adhering to his British-only sourcing policy.
  • Some patrons have praised the pub's concept, but others have expressed frustration over the limited menu and high prices.
  • A viral video earlier this year highlighted a £199.99 'extra, extra large' meat pie and a £2 parking fee in a muddy field, sparking debate over pricing.
  • Despite mixed reactions, the pub remains popular, reflecting the tension between supporting local farmers and meeting customer expectations.
