Summary
- A customer received a £317.36 bill for a meal for four at Clarkson's pub.

- Online commenters largely defended the pub's pricing as reasonable.
A visitor to Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, shared a receipt totaling £317.36 for a party of four, causing a stir online. The bill featured four roast dinners priced at £26 per person and a £14 pint of Hawkstone Lager, complete with its glass. This particular purchase led the diner to humorously claim they were 'keeping the glass'.
Despite the initial shock, numerous online commenters defended the pub's pricing. They argued that considering the cost of drinks, desserts, sides, and the main courses, the total was reasonable for a farm pub experience. Many pointed out that menu prices would have been visible before ordering.
The Farmer's Dog pub emphasizes using locally sourced British ingredients, with Clarkson stating a commitment to featuring produce from British farmers. While most items, including meats, vegetables, and dairy, are sourced domestically, exceptions like quinine for tonic water are noted, demonstrating the challenges in achieving complete local sourcing.
Beyond the dining experience, the pub offers merchandise, local farm produce counters, an outdoor bar named The Farmer's Puppy, and food vans. Visitors can purchase memorabilia and enjoy various on-site food options.
