Jeremy Clarkson Takes Charge of Pub Service Amid Customer Complaints

Jeremy Clarkson is directly responding to customer complaints about his pub, The Farmers Dog, as fans express mixed feelings about the show’s focus on pub operations over farming. Some customers praise the service and food, while others voice frustrations over the new season’s direction.

Jeremy Clarkson is throwing himself into the deep end of pub management after receiving quite a few complaints about customer service at his new venture, The Farmers Dog. Yes, you heard that right. The former Top Gear presenting giant — now 65, let’s not forget — has decided to tackle reservation troubles personally. He’s been spotted responding directly on social media, surprising fans and, well, maybe even staff, too.

A bit of background: one fan, clearly having a less than stellar time trying to get a reservation, posted on X. The message read: “@JeremyClarkson Hi Mr Clarkson, I messaged The Farmers Dog a few times now… but still had no reply. I’m wanting to book a table for four on August 3rd for our anniversary; could someone please get back to me?” To everyone’s surprise, Clarkson replied, “Let me get on to that for you,” which, I mean, who’d have thought?

Yet not all responses are gripes. One customer shared a more positive experience: “We were there yesterday, absolutely rammed. Nice food & good service. Well done to all the staff, it can’t be easy with the volume of people.” So, it seems there’s a bit of both going on.

As things heat up, some fans aren’t ecstatic about the focus of Clarkson’s Farm’s season four, which seems to put a spotlight on Clarkson’s pub rather than the farming. Following its release on Amazon Prime Video last month, viewers are sitting in their couches, popcorn in hand, ready for some crop drama not pub drama. But, turns out, many thought they tuned in for the farming show, not a behind-the-scenes brew-ha-ha at the pub.

A Reddit thread had fans airing their dissatisfaction, with one user saying, “Season 4 was more like Clarkson’s ‘Pub’ than Clarkson’s Farm;” a bit of a dig, if you ask me. Another chimed in, echoing concerns that the whole pub angle felt rather forced, artificial, and as exciting as watching paint dry—on the pub walls.

Still, it’s not all doom and gloom. Season four had its share of drama, with new farmhand Harriet Cowan thrown into the mix, a health scare involving beloved Alan Townsend, and some rather tense moments with pub consultants — because who doesn’t love a bit of consultant drama? Now, as the Grand Tour star and his crew dive into filming season five, set for a 2026 release, one can only wonder — will it be farms, pubs, or perhaps a cooking competition with the sheep? The world may never know.

In summary, Jeremy Clarkson is taking a decidedly hands-on approach to customer service at his pub, The Farmers Dog, amidst complaints. Fans seem split—some on board with the pub shenanigans, while others are scratching their heads, wishing for a return to farming roots. Mixing drama with pints, Clarkson is navigating the ups and downs of his dual ventures, leaving fans curious about what season five will bring.
