Fancy a pint? Jeremy Clarkson is 1,000 free kegs of beer to pub owners who need help.
The former Top Gear host, 64, has owned The Farmer’s Dog pub, in the Cotswolds, since August last year.
But it hasn’t gone without a hitch, and the Clarkson’s Farm star said in October last year that he feared he wouldn’t make his money back after spending more than £1million on the pub.
Now he’s looking to help others in need, as he announced the kind gesture on Hawkstone’s Instagram account to give away kegs of the beer he launched in 2021, which is made using barley grown at Clarkson’s Diddly Squat farm.
“Welcome to The Farmer’s Dog, it’s a pub I’ve had for about six months now, and I’ve worked out it is a brilliant way of turning £100 into about £94 using nothing but costings.
“The only thing that is saving me from financial ruin is the fact that we serve Hawkstone lager.
“If you’ve got a pub and if you want to see if this strategy works for you as well, get in touch with us at our website, and if we like the sound of your pub, if it is the kind of place we want to be in, we’ll send you a free keg.
“88 pints of Hawkstone lager or cider for nothing.”
It was revealed in February that there’s a few things you can’t get at Clarkson’s pub as he is believed to have prohibited customers from drinking coffee or lemonade and from having ketchup with their meals.
A Birmingham Live reporter made the surprising revelation while visiting the Oxfordshire pub for a Sunday roast.
“You can’t have coffee, ketchup or lemonade - there's a sign outside the pub explaining they don't serve coffee or ketchup,” they told the outlet.
“The people at the table next to us asked for a latte but were politely refused. I also asked for a cider shandy when we arrived but staff explained they don't sell lemonade.”
The reporter said their Sunday roast and pudding cost £32.50 and claimed “service was friendly, it was busy, but not overcrowded”.
Clarkson bought the pub, formerly known as The Windmill, last year and has attracted a slew of famous customers.
In January the Clarkson’s Farm star revealed US comedian Ellen DeGeneres has visited the joint since relocating to the Cotswolds.
