    The reason it's Cornish tea is because they're growing tea in Cornwall. Yorkshire tea is imported.

    A beautiful location for a pub. You don't mention how much Clarkson had to go through to get the permits to update the building to house his pub and restaurant. His permits were initially denied by the local council, and it was because of Clarkson's travails and his popularity that new laws were passed making the process of converting old building into new businesses much more streamlined. Another fact that may have been neglected is that The Farmer's Dog has only been open for business since August of 2024, about a month before you shot this video. Kudos on inviting Geoff Buys Cars to help you sample the food and drink.

    We always use local butchers and green grocers - MUST support local produce and farms, STOP buying these items from the supermarkets. Might be a tad more expensive, but the quality is far superior from the locals, and lasts much longer in your kitchen as well

      And just where do you actually believe the products on sale in a "farm shop" are sourced? At least the supermarkets don't charge a second mortgage for a packet of bacon that may well have started life on the same pig. I agree with your sentiment, just don't be hoodwinked by an outlet in the middle of the shires, or a fancy label saying "home produced".

      Have ever wondered why meat from a supermarket is so cheap. Check on UA-cam. The meat I buy is from a local butcher, The cattle are grass fed, not caged up in barns. You should support local farms, especially now. With how the government is treating them. As of now, they will have to sell their farms. Instead of being able to pass them on to the next generation.

I will be going again and your review of the food which looked amazing. Also very comfortable with those prices. When it comes to the beer, I’ve tried quite a few of them via delivery at home and can say everyone I’ve had has been fantastic. Keep up the good work I will keep watching thanks Gary.

    Yorkshire Tea is blended in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, but the tea leaves are grown in more than 20 different places across Africa and India.
    Tregothnan Tea is grown in Cornwall on the banks of the river Fal near Truro. It is the only tea grown in England and is a delicious and refreshing drink free of the bitter after taste of tanine so common in other teas. The climate of Cornwall is very similar to the climate in Darjeeling, India.

    Problem with British Produce is that Supermarkets would just hike the Price. Now if we had Butchers, Fruit and Veg shops on the Highstreets pushing British Only Produce at a proper price. The Farmers might have a chance and then we would get Quality Produce. Only reason for not selling British is the Supermarkets buy cheap to max profits.

    For anyone who think's farming, and especially Clarkson's farming enterprise, is an easy way to success and riches, you will have a particularly rude awakening. Farming is a capital-intensive and labor-intensive business requiring the farmer to go into debt with a bank to finance the preparation and planting of a crop, then sink more money into the growing period, all the while being at the mercy of the climate, with any number of weather disturbances bringing a chance of the crop being damaged to the degree of possible total loss!. The farmer has to take out and pay for crop insurance so that the farming enterprise is not wiped out by unpredictable events. All the while, the farmer must sink even more capital in the purchase and maintenance of the various machinery used to work the soil plus the irrigation equipment needed to water the crop. Automation is making inroads to ease some of the physical toll, but there are still plenty of long hours involved. And once the harvest is in, the whole cycle starts over.

      When JC took over the running of the farm (his previous farm manager retired) he invested heavily. Too heavily, literally in the case of his Lambourghini tractor. ("Power! Speed! Oh bu**er, it won't fit in the barn or pathways").
      Despite the best efforts of Kaleb, Gerald and Cheerful Charlie, he made an annual profit of £144. That's an established farm business.
      I saw on TV a farmer with £94k of crops which had to be binned, because his EU customers 14:30 were fed up with the paperwork and other difficulties associated with buying from post Brexit Britain.
      Everything seems stacked against our farmers

    He probably doesn't have Yorkshire Team because it's just blended in Yorkshire - the tea is from the usual places abroad. He is a Yorkshire man though - was brought up in the village I live in now. Hawkstone lager is lovely, I agree.

    Dear MacMaster
    Yorkshire Tea not from UK. Name British but Tea from India and Africa.
    A proper brew - pure and simple. We pay fair prices for really good tea from farms in Africa and India, to make a lovely blend that’s big on flavour, seriously refreshing and kind to the people who grow it.
