Jeremy Clarkson was forced to issue an announcement after fuming fans piled onto social media complaining they hadn't been to secure Christmas bookings at The Farmer's Dog. No sooner than he'd unveiled a festive menu boasting "all locally sourced and reared British farmed food" than bookings were snapped up. The very competitively priced £40 per person three-course meals were too much for Clarkson's Farm fans to resist - and those who didn't secure a spot were left tearing out their hair in frustration.

"Tried every date in December - nothing available. Nothing in November either," one fan agonised, while another lashed out, complaining: "How is there no tables already?" (sic) Fortunately, Jeremy has now confirmed that the pub will be releasing more slots to satisfy the high demand. His pub - in the heart of the scenic Cotswolds - has already racked up more than a quarter of a million followers.

Therefore Instagrammers will have to move fast following the announcement. It reads: "NEW RELEASE : We’ve had lots of comments about the pub being fully booked - so we have just released more bookings for Christmas - hurry to our website if you want to join us to enjoy Jeremy’s Christmas menu!" While some fans have reported in the last hour that they are still forlornly looking for their preferred date, others are jubilant after securing the one they want in the feverish lead-up to Christmas Day. One fan raged: "Still can't find a free date," as another added: "Still nothing.
