People travelled far and wide to visit The Farmer's Dog, in Asthall over the weekend (Image: PA) Jeremy Clarkson's newly opened pub, The Farmer's Dog in Asthall, Oxfordshire , has received mixed reviews since its grand opening last week. While some hailed it as "the greatest pub in the world", others were less enthusiastic. The former Top Gear presenter unveiled his renovated and renamed establishment to the public on Friday, August 23.
Hundreds of eager customers flocked to the venue, queuing for hours to sample the food and enjoy a pint of Hawkstone beer, served by Clarkson himself. In anticipation of the large influx of visitors, Oxfordshire County Council stated that they had worked "closely and pro-actively" with Mr Clarkson's team to ensure the local roads could handle the increased traffic . "Several measures have been taken to reduce the likelihood of traffic and parking related problems, and to support the safe and successful opening of the site," a council spokesman said.
Clarkson expressed his gratitude to Oxfordshire County Council for their assistance in a post on X on Thursday evening. He wrote: "Credit where credit is due. Our new pub opens tomorrow and this might sound odd but I'd like to thank Oxfordshire County Council for all their help.
We couldn't have done it so fast without you." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
