American here. Midwest, specifically. I’d happily pay 3 times as much, plus a few more beers, to sit there and enjoy that setting knowing it was going to benefit the community that provides it. Good of you to highlight the staff’s hard work too.
This is the thing …… fresh quality food is expensive. It’s not imported, highly processed or subsidised by the government…….its real food. But you’re also paying to employ staff, supporting local businesses and economy. I think it’s brilliant and well worth the cost and quality
@@overheatedeskim054 no pal, you're not. 30 thick slices of bacon, 10 large brioche rolls, 10 plates, 10 napkins and then fund cooking them and serving them. Nevermind the clearing of the waste afterwards and the insurance/staff costs. Dream on.
Having watched Clarkson's Farm, I think Jeremy is a decent man. Watching him comfort his partner as she held a dead piglet was tear jerking. On the other hand, when Caleb called him a "f*****g idiot" he didn't react, because he knew that the 21 year old knew more about farming than he ever would. Just taking on the running of a farm at an age when most men would be thinking about retirement is an inspiration to me, and Clarkson's attitude and determination in the face of a local government witch hunt is admirable
Bear in mind that he probably earns more from Amazon per series of Clarksons farm than the farm is worth. So not only is he a good advocate for British farmers it's a good business move for him. Win win!
@johnflett1626 To be absolutely fair to the guy, I really don’t think any point it would’ve crossed his mind to have wished her dead and probably would’ve been a shock as everybody else when she passed away 8 days later. It was a throwaway comment about the use of grammar which I’m sure if he was to read half the things that I write he would probably make exactly the same comment because I’m terrible at it but I really don’t think he would wish another human being to be dead. Jeremy Clarkson can be an utter idiot at times, but I really don’t think he’s that evil.?
Kudos to Clarkson. Being associated to local farming for 25 years now, it's a labor of love, 'cuz crime doesn't pay, neither does farming. But, eating the farm products as we have we're eating healthier, we support the local farmers. Cheers from upstate new York.
To be fair JC has worked really hard to get British farmers recognised for what they do. We watched his series and have a new found respect for our British farmers, and if paying a bit extra means getting quality food then I’m definitely IN . I say “ well done JC “ and wish him success in all he does. That pub looked amazing, and I’ll bet it’s going to be fantastic at Christmas. Thanks Gary for being so fair in your reviews .
I agree Clarkson has really educated the UK about farmers and their struggles, its so nice to see him selling nothing but British Food, I truly love that.
I don't disagree that Clarkson has worked hard on his new series. But please don't forget he's getting paid millions for his efforts, and everything he is doing is to further the success of his projects (quite fairly). He is doing good things for farming, but he sure ain't doing them for free, or for the sake of the other farmers.
I want to be honest here, he has traveled most of the world, so when you want a good burger, he's had hundreds from all over the world, so if he's going to sell a burger, it's got his name on it. Of course you want to sell what you would eat.
Menu said “pressed ham”, googled this and one of the answers was “pressing one’s buttocks to the window of a moving vehicle…” very Jeremy Clarkson humour 😂
@@TricksyAtoubayeah I saw it too. He went past and it was a bald head and his trademark blue shirt and then came back the other way. I’m guessing the Farmer’s Lounge is actually offices.
Hi Gary, I’m an Aussie who has started making pork pies for a bunch of my British mates who get together for a few pints every week or so. They were whinging about not being able to buy a decent pork pie, so I decided to have a go. I order in pigs trotters to make the gelatine, and use local suet for the pastry. I am absolutely delighted to report that I have made a rod for my own back! They love em. No more whinging poms! Well,,,,,,,until it gets hot anyway!🤣🤣🤣👍🙏🦘
As a Brit here for a good few years, there are just some things that either we don't have here or it's crap. You can be sure, if you can do it right, you can make a mate for life with a decent home made pork pie.
@@temisu_namisu The “ Rhubarb shed” in Sheffield South Yorkshire, we went yesterday for” Afternoon tea” ( my daughters 41 birthday) and the “ pork pie” we were served along with the usual subjects was the best I’ve had yet and I’m 70 and love love love a decent pork pie.
I think the price is fair for proper good food. Don't forget we pay £5 or something for a big mac which is full of rubbish. Great produce that tastes fantastic here. Great video as always, Gary.
You're talking 8ish quid for a large big Mac meal these days. I used to love a maccies but I can't justify paying that for fast food when I can get a better burger from my local burger van for 6 quid
Mcdonalds actual beef burgers are 100% British beef though. They just add salt and pepper. For me they are not thick enough and the garnish they put on them is bland
Gary did a video where he got a 3 course meal for 4 quid. He said it was also very good. The prices at this pub are extremely high. I would bet you another pub selling similar food with a similar philosophy but owned and operated by a non-celebrity would not be charging these prices.
That's what I love about your reviews Gary...open & honest & not carried away by the star status above the door. I'd personally have given Jeremy another half point just for being such a free thinking & tireless pioneer of our great British farmers. Anyway great show as always cheers chum
It looks great, the food and the surroundings and, as always a sensible review. More importantly on this occasion, the boost this will give to the local farmers and suppliers is immeasurable, I hope more people follow his lead (sorry Gary, I went off piste).
Well done Jeremy for giving recognition to British farmers who have been criminally neglected by the British people and the British government !! Our farmers were the hardest working and honestly produced the best food that money could buy , and we were one of the healthiest nations as a result. Now no wonder that there is so much illness diabetes and heart conditions , Jeremy Clarkson is doing a fantastic job and setting an example that all pubs should follow , he should be given a knighthood .
Years ago farmers used to have students and old folk helping around the farm then they latched on to cheap immigrant workers and got rid of the locals, so it's no surprise that hard pressed workers in the UK want to buy cheap foreign imports it's just the other side of the coin, also to many small farmers run uneconomical businesses because they are inefficient!?!
So nice to hear an honest assessment of a new pub. Jeremy spent a lot of money on the property and the renovations. It may be expensive, but as you say Gary, the quality and the ambiance are top drawer. With all of the crap that Jeremy and the farmers in the area have had to put up with, I wish him and them every success. The area is lucky to have him investing.
@paulj7497 I'd say you're being a rather over-sensitive Scottish person. I'm sure the more successful this channel becomes, the more he'll travel. Btw, this comment is written by a Scotsman.
Not a Clarkson fan but i would happily go to that beautiful place and support the British farmers. I would also not begrudge paying those prices for fresh, home grown i e. British, farm produce.
I've known this place as The Windmill for many years and its great to see JC giving it a new lease of life. He has his detractors but its wonderful to seeing him employing local people selling local food and I wish him every success. Like Gary says, quality doesn't come cheap and you're paying for so much more than the food, I can't wait to give it a go!
I think everyone in Carterton and Witney have been to a Wedding at the Windmill at some point! Shame they dont still have the old lady with the desert trolly.
I love Clarkson and everything he's done for the local food producers, I never understood the council's objections to the business in the first place. I was lucky enough recently to visit his Diddlysquat farm and also the brewery, loved the whole experience and also the food. But one thing to note, is the huge crowds that always seem to be there. They come in masses all day, you just can't help but love Clarkson and I think the crowds there show that. It looks like he has this pub's outside seating pretty well organised for vast numbers as well, something very lacking normally. I hope his new pub does well.
Thanks for the review Gaz. I have always liked supporting local producers. Giving by buying something a little more expensive is far better than having a cheap plate of yuk and someone walking around with a collection bucket. The bonus is that JC is a brand and a highly scrutinised one, and he will be paying the farmers proper money for the produce. Win win!
I'd rather pay high prices for good food than low prices for rubbish. This looked lovely. Another great and entertaining video from you, Gary. It's good to see you venturing out of the smoke. 👍
Visiting this new pub turned out to be a good idea. People are very interested in hearing your opinion. You were happy with everything you consumed, which bodes well for when the time comes that you will return for the pub lunch. I am afraid that I would not like to join hoards of people queuing to get into a pub. Everybody else does not seem to mind. Thank you very much for showing us!
I think I'd wait a while in hope that the pub becomes less popular. It would be interesting to find out how long it would take before you could buy anything (I realize that would depend on how long the queue was when you joined).
I think its the right move by JC. If I was local I would go to support Farmers and that food looks amazing. Pricing is not that high really as in London you pay the same for poorer quality. Pub itself looks amazing. Putting his money where his mouth is, supporting local produce, local farmers with a nice pub. Well done sir!
One thing i like is all the local produce and supporting the local farmers. To me that is worth paying the extra. The food looks great and the location looks great too. From Australia 🇦🇺
Fair play to what Clarkson and his team are doing. They are genuinely trying to make a difference and help those aroind them. 13 mins 14 secs it's cheerful Charlie
Jeremy clarkson has worked very hard all his life. I totally respect him for having businesses like the pub. As well as the farm. I wish him every success. 😊😊👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
Someone has got to say it , this reviews was " Top Gear " Hats off to Jeremy for what he is doing for farmers , and hats of to you Gazza .Great stuff .
Love him or hate him he massively promotes local and british produce despite all the adversity he's faced we need to promote local and british and appreciate the quality shame the main menu wasn't on but for good quality I think this is a good place to try and a lovely location . As always a great review thank you
Strange that all the 'people' who dislike JC seem to be, in turn disliked by almost everyone,I've never heard someone I like and respect say anything bad about him.
Yes it was very busy and there was a lot of outside seating but at least the seating was well spaced out. I hate when a place crams as many tables as they can into a small outside seating area or beer garden and you end up knocking elbows with people at the next table. I applaud JC supporting local farmers. Makes a pleasant change from the usual activist culprits that knock everything we hold dear. Everything looked delicious, good quality and good portions.
I used to go here often when it was a Carvery, living so locally and also called 'The Windmill'. It was a beautiful pub with lovely décor and stunning views. I always used to think that it had so much potential. It's lovely to see it being taken over by JC. However, I am saddened by the fact that so many would travel so far to a pub and would miss so many on the way and probably most likely not give their locals a second thought. Being owned by JC is the attraction but it's shame it never drew attention before. That being said, when it was a Carvery, it was packed as it was the best for miles. The queues are absurd, it has to be said. There are so many more pubs that offer very similar foods and drinks, but as I say, it's the bragging rights of going to JC's pub. I think it's wonderful and hopefully it'll calm down before I set foot in the establishment once more. I'm very keen to try and think it's lovely that it's getting the recognition it deserves. Well done JC, it looks wonderful.
Clarkson has been a hero of mine for decades. He’s done so much to raise awareness about farming and the tyrannical governments that fail them and in turn all of us.
I love Jeremy and his love of British produce. As far as Ketchup goes we grow fantastic tomatoes here and I've made loads of Ketchup, so that should be on the menu
The pub is only 2 fields away from work and 3 fields from home so is now my local once again , Great food beer and service with the added bonus of a butchers in the tent for the meat to go on the BBQ
When I visited England from the US 25 years ago, four things impressed me the most - the people, the pubs, the tube and the castles. Glad to see there is an effort to keep the pubs alive. And the farmers. In my opinion, farming is the most important career in any society - farmers feed us. I am hoping when I return to England, I can visit both Jeremy’s and James’ pubs. I am a car guy too.
You people are so easy to con. Jeremy supported Brexit, Boris, and the Tories. Worked for Amazon and Rupert Murdoch. He’s blaming Starmer for problems caused by the things and people Jeremy supported.
@@DonWan47 Exactly this. Some folk have short memories, no volume button or no moral compass. I'm sure his reasons for doing this are just as much about flag-waving and politicising as his obvious love of farming, during what is a frankly thankless time for farmers whoever is in power. I watched his first series during lockdown and arrived at the opinion that farmers work very hard. They are the people who provide food for us and the independent hospitality businesses already struggling through the worst cost of living crisis in living memory (since the 70s) deserve far more attention than Clarkson. Maybe they'll get it, once this novelty wears off. I wonder if the surrounding pubs and restaurants are coining it in with this all happening?
I was in that tent in 2017 watching The Grand Tour being filmed! I applied and was successful and took my Dad, it was an incredible experience! We appear very briefly on the show, It’s session 2 episode 3 called Bah-Humbu-Atti. Clarkson was amazing, he’s a real character and actually a very nice pleasant man.
Hats off to Clarkson and how far he has come with this project. I saw some of Clarkson's Farm series, and it has been quite uphill. Thanks for your review, Gary. /A Dane
Was worried it was going to be bad after reading the title of the video. Glad the food you had was top knotch. You have to appreciate what Jeremy is trying to do for local farmers.
yeah, not a fan of clickbait titles......Didn't think Gary would stoop to the levels of others on that front, such an honest down to earth bloke and great content......
@@GaryEats it was clickbait, your content is great, please think twice about following the bad habits of others, that's what we all like about you (your honesty and integrity) x
@@johnm6683Try the MacMaster if you REALLY want to see clickbait. "My electric car tried to eat me" "worst pub in the world", those would be the milder titles. I do like MacMaster but the clickbait is really OTT
Droolin from South India 🤤 Quality everything and a fantastic review by Gary on this place✌️ Cheers to Jeremy Clarkson for putting up such a beautiful place with amazing green space surroundings while also wholesomely supporting the local British farmers ❤️🙌🥂👌 🎉
Looks very similar to a local maker here in the Forest of Dean called cinderhill farm. I do wonder if they supply Jeremey. I would highly recommend seeking their products out, they are really the best you can buy.
Oh my goodness what a fabulous place, its beautiful. I love Jeremy. Pity about the hot food, but as you said Gary you can always go back in a few months. I know it was expensive, but the quality was excellent. An enjoyable day out.
The location and decor looks fabulous. The food on offer was pricey but its local and good quality. Will be nice to see the gammon with bubble and squeak when the teething troubles are sorted. Also interesting in the winter how they cope in bad weather. Thanks for the review Gary, I knew this would be on your list 😉
Initial impressions were that he has certainly done a wonderful job with the pub & the "puppy" - very impressive indeed and what a wonderful location in the Cotswolds ! Quality food = a quality experience ! Fantastic to see them using local produce too. Well done Jeremy ! 8/10 from me.
Well deserved, I'm glad he's able to shine a spotlight on what is arguably the most important of all the world's professions and ultimately using his persona and his hard earned wealth to turn it into something that everyone can enjoy. Think what you will of the man as a person, Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure.
Gutted for Kier Starmer. Having a name so similar to the current UK Prime Minister and also being banned from Clarkson’s pub. That’s two massive unfortunate events for him.
I'm not a Jeremy Clarkson fan but he's done a great job with the pub and it looks good all round and a lot of thought has went into it. As you know I am one of your earlier subscribers and I think your videos are excellent to watch and I look forward to them appearing on line. One thing that i have noticed and I didn't think it was possible but I think your videos have actually got better over the last few weeks. Gary you and the cameraman keep up the good work.
Jeremy Clarkson is like marmite - Like or dislike, he would be the first to agree no-one is perfect, one thing is sure he works really hard, loves animals and is passionate about farming, not all bad!
I love that Clarkson is all about Made In Britian - deserves a clap. With that said, and the fact that they don't offer ketchup, they should have considered a spicy chutney or home made sauce to go with that food, Gaz. I know it's quality, but who eats a sausage roll without a condiment?!
Wow, finally caught you and the cameraman earlier than many others. Just watching you enjoying a bacon roll, but wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. It’s like going to dinner with an old friend 😊!
Wonderful that it's all British produce and from local farmers. The food all looked very tasty and that was the best sausage roll I've ever seen. Well worth the money, I will pay a visit.
The food looked ok. I guess the taste is what matters! I like what Clarkson has done here. It is very meaningful and great for our country. Hopefully strictly home grown production for pubs/ restaurants continues and expands
Another great review Gary 👌👍... JC has definitely got a grip on the food hospitality business, not only with the quality of the food but the organisation skills of the all the staff to keep things flowing despite the queues of waiting people 👌.. The food as you said was a tad expensive but you are paying for the excellent quality of the food + the experience of visiting a celebrity owned food establishment and I am sure JC,s customer base will be increasing after your review 👌👍
Hi Gary, longtime viewer but first comment. Just wanted to say thank you, your channel is a breath of fresh air. Whenever I'm having a bad day, your vids put a smile on my face. Cheers to you and the cameraman of course 😊
What a beautiful setting. Thank you taking me to me to fantastic places Gary. I would have loved to have seen the main celebrity guy shake hands with you.
Hats off to Mr Clarkson for keeping a great country pub open, and using local produce in an age where far to many are sadly disappearing, they are part of our heritage. Snack food looked hearty, sausage roll & pork pie with obvious high pork content, darker coloured meat as opposed to the processed pinky stuff you often get. Shwarma and burger looked good, as did the bacon banjo but better in real bread and not brioche please JC. Thanks for another top review!
The pork is a darker colour, like a Melton Mobray, because it will be made without using Sodium Nitrate. A curing salt that extends the shelf-life, and also helps the meat retain its 'uncooked colour'.
I will be visiting Jeremy’s and James’ pubs when I’m in England in three weeks. I respect that Jeremy is supporting local businesses and Britain overall. He’s putting his money where his mouth is.
@@robknight1473Clarkson is putting yr money where his mouth is. Bacon roll with no middle man taxes should be under a fiver. Clarkson is out to make money.
Hi Gary Love your videos. You are getting a bigger and bigger reputation for honest and thorough quality reviews. Keep it up... Hmmmm. tummies getting bigger too. I looked at some of your reviews going back a while and the tummy has grown a bit since then ... we want you here for a while longer. so make sure you keep it in check...😉😉
I think Clarkson has done extremely well with raising awareness of the challenges of farming. The pub was really the next step for him after the council restricted him in so many ways.
Interestingly, he isn't keen on explaining how Brexit has damaged the farming community beyond repair, the party that he has publically supported and their part in it. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
@@doghouseriley4732 Isn't the EU punishing farmers for using too much fertiliser and culling off large amounts of livestock to pursue "green" policies?
@@doghouseriley4732 Suggest you watch his show Clarksons Farm then as he clearly outlined the damage that Brexit has done to UK farming and at the time of the referendum he was a very vocal remainer. But hey, don’t let the facts get in the way of supporting your narrative. Maybe you need to focus on holding the present Government to account so they do a better job than the previous lot - to quote Clarkson “how hard can that be?”
I suppose the many many millions that Clarkson made from his tv career have come in handy. It certainly helped subsidise a loss making farm, after least in the early stages. Why does Clarkson have shops, restaurants and pubs attached to his farm business anyway? Could it be that farming isn't actually profitable ?
Good review. There will be haters because it's Clarkson and there will be Clarkson fan boys and girls who won't hear a bad word said about him. As a vegetarian coeliac I really liked the look of that sausage roll! Well done Clarkson and a great review Gary.
Gary, you’re gaining notoriety (in a good way). All your hard work is paying off. Kudos to Jeremy for backing local and British farmers. Great piece of land. I like the Farmer’s Puppy concept. The pub is very nicely appointed. A smaller menu is a good sign that the chef isn’t trying to be all things to all guests. I’d happily pay a higher price for good food, than pay for mediocre food.
I'm not British (I'm American, last time in the UK was 2019) but I really don't think the prices are bad at all considering the quality. Heck, the burger was cheaper than 5 Guys and was made using LOCAL ingredients🤷🏼♀️
I have Been to Jeremy Clarksons Hawkstone brewery in Bourton-on-the-water whilst also viewing a pub very close by to his brewery which I understand Mr Clarkson also looked at. The IPA is a lovely beer! Beautiful views and it looks a well drilled operation. Look forward to the return visit Gary and a top video sir …..Smithy
Respect to you Gary for reviewing and respect to Jeremy Clarkson for what looks a lovely pub. Quality local produce, supporting farmers and businesses. You definitely need a return visit!! Thank you and the Cameraman for another excellent video 👌👍
17:48 Waitress: "The burger was half eaten by Chef today. Sorry he was pekkish and Chef gets hangry. It was that or fingers.'' I'm just taking the piss. But the burger looked a bit small for that bun. It was probably a 4-6 ounce patty but the bun made it look tiny. Everything there looked amazing. Those sausage role things looked great, the pasty seemed very light and flakey. Everything seems really well done. Cheers to you @Jeremy Clarkson for having such a great place. It is nice to see the care, dedication and quality put into it pay off. Edit: lol and that crunch on the fries at the end. Come on!
I've never understood brioche buns for savoury food, it's like having a victoria sponge with cheese and pickle instead of buttercream and jam. When will Hammond open a pub?
Love how it's all the best fresh ingredients, makes such a huge difference in taste. It shows the care taken to want to give people quality. The pub is stunning and the food looked it as well. So glad you enjoyed it, even with the main menu missing. That pint looked mighty good as well. Thank you for bringing us with you to that stunning location.
Jeremy is a very nice and deeply misunderstood man. He's clever, and has no filter which gets him into trouble, but he cares a huge amount about where he lives and the people who live there, make no mistake, everything he's doing is to help the farmers around him - he has the clout and he uses it.
@@GaryEats Thanks for always responding Both . It means a lot to us all . I can't believe the number of positive comments and fantastic people . You brought out the Best in us . 🙏🏻
This one is a peculiar concept, a little. I completely admire the local food production mission, AND the careful staffing, AND the thoughtful array of options including "quick" pickup meals and the more formal setup, AND the actual area is gorgeous and apparently really well handled to manage crowds without feeling crowded. I also absolutely love the idea of maintaining British pubs in Britain, with the traditional flavors of food and drink. Clarkson is also apparently really turning out the quality, even under circumstances. That counts, most especially with the prices he's asking. I do think that as time goes by, he'll need to kerp a hard eye on the quality - if that flags, he's done for in the end. And they need to work on consistency. I know it's early days, and I know the crowds are mad, but that number of queues for nothing but all-round casual foods ... that will eventually annoy people right out of the place altogether. And when the top of your potential experience is a short list of things that sound very familiar to people (albeit executed at a dizzying level of skill and quality), you're already doing a tightrope act. They need to do it all really well all the time, because a 17 pound plate of sausage and mash is already inherently a face-lift all by itself. I hope he makes it a success over time. The homogeneizing of culture in the world is ... not my favorite thing. Travel is only fun when you don't spend a fortune going to the same thing you can find next door, right? And everyplace is special for itself. Nobody needs wall-to-wall Taco Bell and McDonalds. Glad y'all had a good day out!
On occasion, Heidi, I can forgive the price as the quality was outstanding and the owner is trying to do something for British farmers in a very tough environment, the pup itself was outstanding. It was very tranquil and I would return. 🌹
@GaryEats Yes, I didn't mean to sound negative. I just mean that he's designed a tough job for himself and his staff. It can be done, because people can be professionals and do their jobs well. But there aren't many failsafes that I can see. I think his aims are truly admirable and I hope he succeeds over time.
The problem with continued money printing is your sliding sense of what is reasonable. VERY soon, you'll pay £10 for just one sausage at Five Guys. If we don't support the farmers NOW, when we still can, that's the price level for crickets.
I'm a big fan of Clarkson and was intending to visit his pub this week. I know that eastern part of the Cotswolds quite well as it's only an hours drive from my house. Looked rather pricey (isn't everything now) but clearly really good quality. I think I'll pay a visit when all the fuss has died down, perhaps October. Really like the Starmer ban too!
Just discovered this page and very good it is too. Good quality will always cost more and if Gary is honest in his rating of the food then it will be worth paying the price. Nothing worse than cheap, poorly cooked food no matter what it cost. So well done Gary and keep going.
brioche is French, that bun i assume is made in the Uk but a french recipe. kebabs are greek, or turkish. burger is german, and American, fries are French, well belgiun to be precise, I know all these are made in GB. but so is KETCHUP and COCA COLA. very confusing, almost like a point is being made lol. but i would eat there it looks lovely.
Sounds as though Clarkson has finally found a way to sell his produce to the public which the local council can't stop. Hats off...
I think JC is doing a very good job
The council are a disgrace. They need to remember they are paid to run the local services, not to tell us what to do. Wankers!
@@GaryEats - He has a goal and .. he's reaching that goal.

This is the thing …… fresh quality food is expensive. It’s not imported, highly processed or subsidised by the government…….its real food. But you’re also paying to employ staff, supporting local businesses and economy. I think it’s brilliant and well worth the cost and quality
That’s what makes no sense. In Germany, the fresh food is always cheaper.
Not true at all i could make 10 bacon rolls for £7.50 and bacon is fresh and made in this country.....prices is awful because Clarkson
What makes you think UK farmers aren't subsidized by the government
It's most definitely a bit pricy without a doubt but as you said, quality
@@overheatedeskim054 no pal, you're not. 30 thick slices of bacon, 10 large brioche rolls, 10 plates, 10 napkins and then fund cooking them and serving them. Nevermind the clearing of the waste afterwards and the insurance/staff costs. Dream on.

I agree I think he’s doing a fantastic job, John
I believe that the pub will pay him very well indeed !!
To be fair JC has worked really hard to get British farmers recognised for what they do. We watched his series and have a new found respect for our British farmers, and if paying a bit extra means getting quality food then I’m definitely IN . I say “ well done JC “ and wish him success in all he does. That pub looked amazing, and I’ll bet it’s going to be fantastic at Christmas. Thanks Gary for being so fair in your reviews .
It's definitely pricy that's for sure but really well done! Thank you
I agree Clarkson has really educated the UK about farmers and their struggles, its so nice to see him selling nothing but British Food, I truly love that.
My local farmer threatened to kill me last year, the other farm owner came for me with his dog. Sod em, I say.
I don't disagree that Clarkson has worked hard on his new series. But please don't forget he's getting paid millions for his efforts, and everything he is doing is to further the success of his projects (quite fairly). He is doing good things for farming, but he sure ain't doing them for free, or for the sake of the other farmers.
I want to be honest here, he has traveled most of the world, so when you want a good burger, he's had hundreds from all over the world, so if he's going to sell a burger, it's got his name on it. Of course you want to sell what you would eat.
Menu said “pressed ham”, googled this and one of the answers was “pressing one’s buttocks to the window of a moving vehicle…” very Jeremy Clarkson humour 😂
That was very funny, thank you
❤ Jeremy.
Yes a form of mooning, lol
How would you run fast enough to do that on a moving vehicles window ?
@@unnamedchannel1237it's done from inside the vehicle obviously doubt many people have legs long enough to try from outside anyway

I was looking forward to this but didn't expect so soon. Thank you Gary!
It was indeed and thank you very much
Great spot! Absolutely missed that
@@TricksyAtoubayeah I saw it too. He went past and it was a bald head and his trademark blue shirt and then came back the other way.
I’m guessing the Farmer’s Lounge is actually offices.
Great to see someone with the pride in our farmers produce amazing you can’t beat our farmers for quality
He’s doing a fantastic job for local farmers, Philip
Nope, he's a scrounger and tax dodger
Hi Gary, I’m an Aussie who has started making pork pies for a bunch of my British mates who get together for a few pints every week or so. They were whinging about not being able to buy a decent pork pie, so I decided to have a go. I order in pigs trotters to make the gelatine, and use local suet for the pastry. I am absolutely delighted to report that I have made a rod for my own back! They love em. No more whinging poms! Well,,,,,,,until it gets hot anyway!🤣🤣🤣👍🙏🦘
That is fantastic to hear. Well done to you.
@@timtwotone3561 they'll be asking you to make Cornish pasties and Cottage Pie next. Ready up!
Where are you in Australia?
As a Brit here for a good few years, there are just some things that either we don't have here or it's crap. You can be sure, if you can do it right, you can make a mate for life with a decent home made pork pie.
@@temisu_namisu The “ Rhubarb shed” in Sheffield South Yorkshire, we went yesterday for” Afternoon tea” ( my daughters 41 birthday) and the “ pork pie” we were served along with the usual subjects was the best I’ve had yet and I’m 70 and love love love a decent pork pie.
I think the price is fair for proper good food. Don't forget we pay £5 or something for a big mac which is full of rubbish. Great produce that tastes fantastic here.
Great video as always, Gary.
That is a very good point, thank you very much
Would love too know where you get a Big Mac for £5 😂 try £6.99 these days
You're talking 8ish quid for a large big Mac meal these days. I used to love a maccies but I can't justify paying that for fast food when I can get a better burger from my local burger van for 6 quid
Mcdonalds actual beef burgers are 100% British beef though. They just add salt and pepper. For me they are not thick enough and the garnish they put on them is bland
Gary did a video where he got a 3 course meal for 4 quid. He said it was also very good. The prices at this pub are extremely high. I would bet you another pub selling similar food with a similar philosophy but owned and operated by a non-celebrity would not be charging these prices.
That's what I love about your reviews Gary...open & honest & not carried away by the star status above the door.
I'd personally have given Jeremy another half point just for being such a free thinking & tireless pioneer of our great British farmers.
Anyway great show as always cheers chum
That’s very kind to say thank you very much and I agree well done Jeremy
It looks great, the food and the surroundings and, as always a sensible review. More importantly on this occasion, the boost this will give to the local farmers and suppliers is immeasurable, I hope more people follow his lead (sorry Gary, I went off piste).
Well done Jeremy for giving recognition to British farmers who have been criminally neglected by the British people and the British government !!
Our farmers were the hardest working and honestly produced the best food that money could buy , and we were one of the healthiest nations as a result.
Now no wonder that there is so much illness diabetes and heart conditions ,
Jeremy Clarkson is doing a fantastic job and setting an example that all pubs should follow , he should be given a knighthood .
Years ago farmers used to have students and old folk helping around the farm then they latched on to cheap immigrant workers and got rid of the locals, so it's no surprise that hard pressed workers in the UK want to buy cheap foreign imports it's just the other side of the coin, also to many small farmers run uneconomical businesses because they are inefficient!?!
Thank you very much for your excellent comment. It is really appreciated Mike.
So nice to hear an honest assessment of a new pub. Jeremy spent a lot of money on the property and the renovations. It may be expensive, but as you say Gary, the quality and the ambiance are top drawer. With all of the crap that Jeremy and the farmers in the area have had to put up with, I wish him and them every success. The area is lucky to have him investing.
That is a really lovely comment to make thank you very much
@paulj7497 I'd say you're being a rather over-sensitive Scottish person. I'm sure the more successful this channel becomes, the more he'll travel. Btw, this comment is written by a Scotsman.
@paulj7497 Thanks for the chuckles pal.
@paulj7497ridiculous comment.
Big Scotland series coming in the winter, have about 7/8 videos planned, thank you John 👍🏼
Not a Clarkson fan but i would happily go to that beautiful place and support the British farmers. I would also not begrudge paying those prices for fresh, home grown i e. British, farm produce.
That is a fantastic comment to make thank you, Melanie
I've known this place as The Windmill for many years and its great to see JC giving it a new lease of life. He has his detractors but its wonderful to seeing him employing local people selling local food and I wish him every success. Like Gary says, quality doesn't come cheap and you're paying for so much more than the food, I can't wait to give it a go!
@@DAVIDJC306 I thought the Windmill never closed…🤔
I agree with you. I think he has done a fantastic refurbishment. David definitely worth a visit.
I think everyone in Carterton and Witney have been to a Wedding at the Windmill at some point! Shame they dont still have the old lady with the desert trolly.
100% well said sir!
I understand that the pub has created 80 jobs!
I love Clarkson and everything he's done for the local food producers, I never understood the council's objections to the business in the first place. I was lucky enough recently to visit his Diddlysquat farm and also the brewery, loved the whole experience and also the food. But one thing to note, is the huge crowds that always seem to be there. They come in masses all day, you just can't help but love Clarkson and I think the crowds there show that. It looks like he has this pub's outside seating pretty well organised for vast numbers as well, something very lacking normally. I hope his new pub does well.
I’m really pleased you enjoyed your visit to diddly squat, I agree it is very busy but he has done very well
Thanks for the review Gaz. I have always liked supporting local producers. Giving by buying something a little more expensive is far better than having a cheap plate of yuk and someone walking around with a collection bucket. The bonus is that JC is a brand and a highly scrutinised one, and he will be paying the farmers proper money for the produce. Win win!
That is fantastic to hear and well done to you and thank you very much
"A little more expensive"
*£7.50 for a bacon roll*
How to be a mug 101.
@rabid_si I understand it's quality bacon but WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is 7.50 all about 😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'd rather pay high prices for good food than low prices for rubbish. This looked lovely. Another great and entertaining video from you, Gary. It's good to see you venturing out of the smoke. 👍
I agree with you 100%. I would rather have quality than quantity.
He charges £7 for a pint of milk. I'm all for quality but come on £7 for milk!
@@straightouttacornwall but what milk it is, it's nectar from the gods.
@@humdumdiggdy 🥛👼😇😂
It’s a £6.50 sausage role for gods sake.
Visiting this new pub turned out to be a good idea. People are very interested in hearing your opinion. You were happy with everything you consumed, which bodes well for when the time comes that you will return for the pub lunch. I am afraid that I would not like to join hoards of people queuing to get into a pub. Everybody else does not seem to mind. Thank you very much for showing us!
I loved it! Just wish it had the main menu
I think I'd wait a while in hope that the pub becomes less popular. It would be interesting to find out how long it would take before you could buy anything (I realize that would depend on how long the queue was when you joined).
Correct. Q-ing IN a pub ok. To get INTO the pub. Noooooo
@@damianwalls1262 Precisely! Queuing anywhere for the "honour" of letting people take my hard earned money is a complete no-no.
Queuing is quintessentially British 😂
I think its the right move by JC. If I was local I would go to support Farmers and that food looks amazing. Pricing is not that high really as in London you pay the same for poorer quality. Pub itself looks amazing. Putting his money where his mouth is, supporting local produce, local farmers with a nice pub. Well done sir!
Thank you very much for your excellent comment
Honestly, one of the most entertaining, genuine UA-cam channels going. Great review and video.
That’s very kind and appreciated thank you so very much
One thing i like is all the local produce and supporting the local farmers. To me that is worth paying the extra. The food looks great and the location looks great too. From Australia 🇦🇺
I agree with you. It’s worth paying that extra money.
@@GaryEatslove watching your show, thanks
It's strange that local produce, with minimal middle men, or women costs the earth, you'd think that would keep prices down. Support goes both ways.
Loads of places use local produce. It's been a unique selling point for years now. It's no longer acceptable to use that as a reason to charge extra
The London prices probably mean that there are few locals who see the pub as affordable.
Fair play to what Clarkson and his team are doing. They are genuinely trying to make a difference and help those aroind them. 13 mins 14 secs it's cheerful Charlie
Thank you very much for your comment, Martin and yes, it was Charlie
Jeremy clarkson has worked very hard all his life. I totally respect him for having businesses like the pub. As well as the farm. I wish him every success. 😊😊👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏
I really admire JC as well
Someone has got to say it , this reviews was " Top Gear " Hats off to Jeremy for what he is doing for farmers , and hats of to you Gazza .Great stuff .
That is a fantastic comment thank you, Alec
You're welcome, my friend .
We need a few Jeremy's here in Éire, our farm and fishing industries are being given away to people not of this country, it really angers me so much
😂😂
@lisad8052 I wish you all the best, @lisad
Love him or hate him he massively promotes local and british produce despite all the adversity he's faced we need to promote local and british and appreciate the quality shame the main menu wasn't on but for good quality I think this is a good place to try and a lovely location . As always a great review thank you
I agree with you completely, Sue, and thank you very much
Strange that all the 'people' who dislike JC seem to be, in turn disliked by almost everyone,I've never heard someone I like and respect say anything bad about him.
Yes it was very busy and there was a lot of outside seating but at least the seating was well spaced out. I hate when a place crams as many tables as they can into a small outside seating area or beer garden and you end up knocking elbows with people at the next table.
I applaud JC supporting local farmers. Makes a pleasant change from the usual activist culprits that knock everything we hold dear. Everything looked delicious, good quality and good portions.
I agree with you. I think JC is doing a fantastic job for the local farmers. Loads of space and loads of benches.
I used to go here often when it was a Carvery, living so locally and also called 'The Windmill'. It was a beautiful pub with lovely décor and stunning views. I always used to think that it had so much potential. It's lovely to see it being taken over by JC. However, I am saddened by the fact that so many would travel so far to a pub and would miss so many on the way and probably most likely not give their locals a second thought. Being owned by JC is the attraction but it's shame it never drew attention before. That being said, when it was a Carvery, it was packed as it was the best for miles. The queues are absurd, it has to be said. There are so many more pubs that offer very similar foods and drinks, but as I say, it's the bragging rights of going to JC's pub. I think it's wonderful and hopefully it'll calm down before I set foot in the establishment once more. I'm very keen to try and think it's lovely that it's getting the recognition it deserves. Well done JC, it looks wonderful.
You do mate some very valid points, however, I think JC has done a good job with the refurbishment
@GaryEats Absolutely agree, it looks wonderful!
Clarkson has been a hero of mine for decades. He’s done so much to raise awareness about farming and the tyrannical governments that fail them and in turn all of us.
That is fantastic to hear
I love Jeremy and his love of British produce. As far as Ketchup goes we grow fantastic tomatoes here and I've made loads of Ketchup, so that should be on the menu
A lot of people have said similar Jason so yes perhaps
I agree, as it’s not exactly difficult to make.
Being forced to taste food flavoured food, the horror 😂
Really love this channel. Gary is always so honest and polite even when it’s crap. ❤️
That’s very kind to say, thank you
Supporting our farmers 100% the back bone of the economy
I agree with you 100%
I think it is fantastic what jeremy has done for british farmers alot more than the government fantastic review as always gary 👏
Thanks Sean, he's done a good job with British farming
When Gary was recognised! How humble!
I had a fantastic chat with Richard afterwards, really nice guy
That was nice, so genuine too.
The pub is only 2 fields away from work and 3 fields from home so is now my local once again , Great food beer and service with the added bonus of a butchers in the tent for the meat to go on the BBQ
Wow, very nice Mark. Spoilt for choice!
When I visited England from the US 25 years ago, four things impressed me the most - the people, the pubs, the tube and the castles. Glad to see there is an effort to keep the pubs alive. And the farmers. In my opinion, farming is the most important career in any society - farmers feed us. I am hoping when I return to England, I can visit both Jeremy’s and James’ pubs. I am a car guy too.
I fully agree with your comment thank you very much
I’m all for supporting local businesses over multinational suppliers. Good on ya Jeremy!👍🏻👍🏻
Not many of the Local people can afford to eat there let alone live there anymore.
You people are so easy to con. Jeremy supported Brexit, Boris, and the Tories. Worked for Amazon and Rupert Murdoch. He’s blaming Starmer for problems caused by the things and people Jeremy supported.
@@DonWan47 "You people"
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 Yes, otherwise known as morons, low information voters, xenophobic nationalists. The list is endless.
@@DonWan47 Exactly this. Some folk have short memories, no volume button or no moral compass. I'm sure his reasons for doing this are just as much about flag-waving and politicising as his obvious love of farming, during what is a frankly thankless time for farmers whoever is in power. I watched his first series during lockdown and arrived at the opinion that farmers work very hard. They are the people who provide food for us and the independent hospitality businesses already struggling through the worst cost of living crisis in living memory (since the 70s) deserve far more attention than Clarkson. Maybe they'll get it, once this novelty wears off. I wonder if the surrounding pubs and restaurants are coining it in with this all happening?
Watching from Hong Kong great to see quality food, being made and not processed crap being bought in....
Thank you very much for watching from Hong Kong, Peter
I was in that tent in 2017 watching The Grand Tour being filmed! I applied and was successful and took my Dad, it was an incredible experience! We appear very briefly on the show, It’s session 2 episode 3 called Bah-Humbu-Atti. Clarkson was amazing, he’s a real character and actually a very nice pleasant man.
Hopefully that brought you back some wonderful memories
Hats off to Clarkson and how far he has come with this project. I saw some of Clarkson's Farm series, and it has been quite uphill.
Thanks for your review, Gary.

Couldn't agree more! Thank you
Mr Clarkson does not seem to have any filter, to be fair I quite like that about him. Pub looks really nice. Good review, thanks 🥰
I completely agree with you Gail, thank you
Its a tough job Gary but someones got to do it so thanks for getting to Jeremys new pub so quickly. I was dying to see what was going on.
It was a big queue, but we got there in the end
Me too ❣️🤣 Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Was worried it was going to be bad after reading the title of the video.
Glad the food you had was top knotch. You have to appreciate what Jeremy is trying to do for local farmers.
Not at all, just a massive shame after traveling all that way that they weren't serving their pub menu!
I thought that it would be bad as well. The title gives that impression. Not a fan of clickbait.
yeah, not a fan of clickbait titles......Didn't think Gary would stoop to the levels of others on that front, such an honest down to earth bloke and great content......
@@GaryEats it was clickbait, your content is great, please think twice about following the bad habits of others, that's what we all like about you (your honesty and integrity) x

Quality everything and a fantastic review by Gary on this place✌️
Cheers to Jeremy Clarkson for putting up such a beautiful place with amazing green space surroundings while also wholesomely supporting the local British farmers ❤️🙌🥂👌 🎉
I think Jeremy is doing a fantastic job for British farming
That looks like the best sausage roll I've never eaten, right there!
It was a fantastic sausage roll
Looks very similar to a local maker here in the Forest of Dean called cinderhill farm. I do wonder if they supply Jeremey. I would highly recommend seeking their products out, they are really the best you can buy.
Our local farm shop produce their own pasties and sausage rolls just about £2 cheaper
Glad Jeremy has employed good staff, beautiful views great location
James May banned from Jeremy Clarkson's pub is a banter between colleagues because James May is a rival pub landlord.
James actually runs a really good pub
@@GaryEats He runs a very very expensive pub. Check the menu
Thanks for clearing that up. We all thought Clarkson was seriously banning his long-time colleague and friend.
you don't say
🤦🏻♂️
The farm to table ethos is brilliant. Expensive, yes, but the quality is there. Can't wait for the full review.
Hopefully, I will do it before Christmas
Oh my goodness what a fabulous place, its beautiful. I love Jeremy. Pity about the hot food, but as you said Gary you can always go back in a few months. I know it was expensive, but the quality was excellent. An enjoyable day out.
Really hope I can get back there before Christmas where the queues aren't too bad!
The location and decor looks fabulous. The food on offer was pricey but its local and good quality. Will be nice to see the gammon with bubble and squeak when the teething troubles are sorted. Also interesting in the winter how they cope in bad weather. Thanks for the review Gary, I knew this would be on your list 😉
Spot on Richard, nailed it as per usual!
Initial impressions were that he has certainly done a wonderful job with the pub & the "puppy" - very impressive indeed and what a wonderful location in the Cotswolds ! Quality food = a quality experience ! Fantastic to see them using local produce too. Well done Jeremy ! 8/10 from me.
I agree with you as well, Robert. I think Jeremy has done a great job with this pub.
Well deserved, I'm glad he's able to shine a spotlight on what is arguably the most important of all the world's professions and ultimately using his persona and his hard earned wealth to turn it into something that everyone can enjoy. Think what you will of the man as a person, Jeremy Clarkson is a national treasure.
I think JC is a great guy as well
Gutted for Kier Starmer. Having a name so similar to the current UK Prime Minister and also being banned from Clarkson’s pub. That’s two massive unfortunate events for him.
That was very funny, thank you
He’s also banned James May from there as well as said man with a similar name to the Prime Minister.
Two tier Stalin! I "HATE him and his communist uni party.
I would consider it an honour to be banned from the arrogant w#####s pub.
The PM may sneak in as Sir Starmer? 😂
I'm not a Jeremy Clarkson fan but he's done a great job with the pub and it looks good all round and a lot of thought has went into it. As you know I am one of your earlier subscribers and I think your videos are excellent to watch and I look forward to them appearing on line. One thing that i have noticed and I didn't think it was possible but I think your videos have actually got better over the last few weeks. Gary you and the cameraman keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Douglas for saying that, truly trying my best but overjoyed you think they're getting better!
Jeremy Clarkson is like marmite - Like or dislike, he would be the first to agree no-one is perfect, one thing is sure he works really hard, loves animals and is passionate about farming, not all bad!
I completely agree with you. Nothing against Jeremy at all and if he's supporting British farming then that's brilliant
Expensive!
No Vegemite, for sure.
Low currency value! Printing trillions....
Most of us love animals, they're sssoooooo tasty.
Clarkson's marketing team are worth their weight in gold. Printing money 💰💰💰
He certainly knows what he's doing does Jeremy
I like Jeremy. He’s a good bloke. 🙏🏻
He's done amazing work for British farming
I love that Clarkson is all about Made In Britian - deserves a clap. With that said, and the fact that they don't offer ketchup, they should have considered a spicy chutney or home made sauce to go with that food, Gaz. I know it's quality, but who eats a sausage roll without a condiment?!
Nothing worse than a sausage roll without ketchup. There's rules!!

The food looked ok. I guess the taste is what matters!
I like what Clarkson has done here. It is very meaningful and great for our country.
Hopefully strictly home grown production for pubs/ restaurants continues and expands
I think Jeremy has done a wonderful job, David
The sausage roll needed some Dead Horse (of the tomato variety) (or HP which is what you Brits seem to love). Loving how you get around so much Gary.
Thank you, trying my best!
Another great review Gary 👌👍... JC has definitely got a grip on the food hospitality business, not only with the quality of the food but the organisation skills of the all the staff to keep things flowing despite the queues of waiting people 👌.. The food as you said was a tad expensive but you are paying for the excellent quality of the food + the experience of visiting a celebrity owned food establishment and I am sure JC,s customer base will be increasing after your review 👌👍
I agree with you, John. You are paying for that extra quality.
Hi Gary, longtime viewer but first comment. Just wanted to say thank you, your channel is a breath of fresh air.

What a beautiful setting. Thank you taking me to me to fantastic places Gary. I would have loved to have seen the main celebrity guy shake hands with you.
He wasn't there Tim, just missed him!
Hats off to Mr Clarkson for keeping a great country pub open, and using local produce in an age where far to many are sadly disappearing, they are part of our heritage. Snack food looked hearty, sausage roll & pork pie with obvious high pork content, darker coloured meat as opposed to the processed pinky stuff you often get. Shwarma and burger looked good, as did the bacon banjo but better in real bread and not brioche please JC. Thanks for another top review!
Spot on and a great comment!
The pork is a darker colour, like a Melton Mobray, because it will be made without using Sodium Nitrate. A curing salt that extends the shelf-life, and also helps the meat retain its 'uncooked colour'.
Clarkson is doing more for this country than Starmer ever will.
Thank you very much

I looked at some of your reviews going back a while and the tummy has grown a bit since then ... we want you here for a while longer. so make sure you keep it in check...😉😉
I will be having a short break very soon and here we come, Mr. Diet.
I think Clarkson has done extremely well with raising awareness of the challenges of farming. The pub was really the next step for him after the council restricted him in so many ways.
Interestingly, he isn't keen on explaining how Brexit has damaged the farming community beyond repair, the party that he has publically supported and their part in it. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
@@doghouseriley4732 Isn't the EU punishing farmers for using too much fertiliser and culling off large amounts of livestock to pursue "green" policies?
That is very true, and thank you for your comment
@@doghouseriley4732 Suggest you watch his show Clarksons Farm then as he clearly outlined the damage that Brexit has done to UK farming and at the time of the referendum he was a very vocal remainer.
But hey, don’t let the facts get in the way of supporting your narrative. Maybe you need to focus on holding the present Government to account so they do a better job than the previous lot - to quote Clarkson “how hard can that be?”
I suppose the many many millions that Clarkson made from his tv career have come in handy. It certainly helped subsidise a loss making farm, after least in the early stages. Why does Clarkson have shops, restaurants and pubs attached to his farm business anyway? Could it be that farming isn't actually profitable ?
Good review. There will be haters because it's Clarkson and there will be Clarkson fan boys and girls who won't hear a bad word said about him.
As a vegetarian coeliac I really liked the look of that sausage roll! Well done Clarkson and a great review Gary.
That is very kind to say, and yes, I have had some negative comments
Gary, you’re gaining notoriety (in a good way). All your hard work is paying off. Kudos to Jeremy for backing local and British farmers. Great piece of land. I like the Farmer’s Puppy concept. The pub is very nicely appointed. A smaller menu is a good sign that the chef isn’t trying to be all things to all guests. I’d happily pay a higher price for good food, than pay for mediocre food.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, Karen
I'm not British (I'm American, last time in the UK was 2019) but I really don't think the prices are bad at all considering the quality. Heck, the burger was cheaper than 5 Guys and was made using LOCAL ingredients🤷🏼♀️
I have Been to Jeremy Clarksons Hawkstone brewery in Bourton-on-the-water whilst also viewing a pub very close by to his brewery which I understand Mr Clarkson also looked at. The IPA is a lovely beer! Beautiful views and it looks a well drilled operation. Look forward to the return visit Gary and a top video sir …..Smithy
It was absolutely delicious the beer, loved it
Respect to you Gary for reviewing and respect to Jeremy Clarkson for what looks a lovely pub. Quality local produce, supporting farmers and businesses. You definitely need a return visit!! Thank you and the Cameraman for another excellent video 👌👍
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment Deb. I will be returning.
17:48 Waitress: "The burger was half eaten by Chef today. Sorry he was pekkish and Chef gets hangry. It was that or fingers.''
I'm just taking the piss. But the burger looked a bit small for that bun. It was probably a 4-6 ounce patty but the bun made it look tiny. Everything there looked amazing. Those sausage role things looked great, the pasty seemed very light and flakey. Everything seems really well done. Cheers to you @Jeremy Clarkson for having such a great place. It is nice to see the care, dedication and quality put into it pay off.
Edit: lol and that crunch on the fries at the end. Come on!
I will be going back to review soon!
I've never understood brioche buns for savoury food, it's like having a victoria sponge with cheese and pickle instead of buttercream and jam. When will Hammond open a pub?
I've had a bit of an insight to Hammond and I'm hearing he might..
Quite a thing sweet and savory ,Stilton and fruit cake .Bit like Jeremy and stammer, Jeremy, Stilton ,strong flavour and stammer ,fruit cake .
Absolutely the wrong style of bread. Thick slices of Ciabatta I think would suit better.
I struggled to watch as I can't stand Clarkson but it was still a good video . I always like your honest reviews Gary.
I really appreciate you still watching the video thank you
I'm with you on that one. Can't abide the bugger.
You always upload just as I'm sitting down for tea - perfect timing!
Fantastic to hear
Ha, Im the same, I wait till my dinner to watch...otherwise Id be starving! Although unfortunately for me what Gary is eating is far tastier....
@@sarahreynolds308 I literally had a bacon butty at the same time as Gary, mine actually looked nicer tbf
That pint of Hawkstone IPA looked fantastic, I could happily enjoy a few of those on a nice warm day.
Tasted excellent 👌
Love how it's all the best fresh ingredients, makes such a huge difference in taste. It shows the care taken to want to give people quality. The pub is stunning and the food looked it as well. So glad you enjoyed it, even with the main menu missing. That pint looked mighty good as well. Thank you for bringing us with you to that stunning location.
That is very kind to say, and I really appreciate your comment
Gotta love the guy with the perfectly timed 'let's give it a go.'
Yep, loved it Ed lol very nice guy
Jeremy is a very nice and deeply misunderstood man. He's clever, and has no filter which gets him into trouble, but he cares a huge amount about where he lives and the people who live there, make no mistake, everything he's doing is to help the farmers around him - he has the clout and he uses it.
"He has the clout and he uses it". Yes, normally if there's a producer standing nearby who's forgotten to get the steaks in.
Well said.
He's a marmite character for sure
@@GaryEats he's a violent racist thug
He’s not deeply misunderstood at all, he’s just a bit of a cock.
I love how cheerful Charlie just strolls by....lol
That was him indeed
LOL 13:14 Cheerful Charlie Ireland walks by texting the authorities on Gary .
Great review both . Yes, please go back . Glad you enjoyed it .
That was very funny, thank you very much, Philip
@@GaryEats Thanks for always responding Both . It means a lot to us all . I can't believe the number of positive comments and fantastic people .
You brought out the Best in us . 🙏🏻
@@GaryEatswouldn’t surprise me if you are invited back for when the menu is on.
Love Clarkson divides people but he's entertained me for years and deserves all the succes😊
Yes me too, love the bloke.
I agree, I really like him Brian
Racism tends to divide people.
@@GaryEats For balance, I hate his guts!
@@bobikdylan I wonder what it is that Gary likes about him.
Posted 35 mins 7,500 views 😮 amazing how far you’ve come ….keep going, your style is clearly what people want to see ! More the power to you
Thanks so much!! Means so much to me, lots of new and hopefully exciting content coming from outside the UK soon...
@@GaryEats Outside the UK......Im intrigued now!
Any pub that bans Starmer has got to be a good one!!! Good review as well Gary.
That’s very kind, thank you very much
This one is a peculiar concept, a little.
I completely admire the local food production mission, AND the careful staffing, AND the thoughtful array of options including "quick" pickup meals and the more formal setup, AND the actual area is gorgeous and apparently really well handled to manage crowds without feeling crowded. I also absolutely love the idea of maintaining British pubs in Britain, with the traditional flavors of food and drink.
Clarkson is also apparently really turning out the quality, even under circumstances. That counts, most especially with the prices he's asking.
I do think that as time goes by, he'll need to kerp a hard eye on the quality - if that flags, he's done for in the end. And they need to work on consistency. I know it's early days, and I know the crowds are mad, but that number of queues for nothing but all-round casual foods ... that will eventually annoy people right out of the place altogether. And when the top of your potential experience is a short list of things that sound very familiar to people (albeit executed at a dizzying level of skill and quality), you're already doing a tightrope act. They need to do it all really well all the time, because a 17 pound plate of sausage and mash is already inherently a face-lift all by itself.
I hope he makes it a success over time. The homogeneizing of culture in the world is ... not my favorite thing. Travel is only fun when you don't spend a fortune going to the same thing you can find next door, right? And everyplace is special for itself. Nobody needs wall-to-wall Taco Bell and McDonalds.
Glad y'all had a good day out!
On occasion, Heidi, I can forgive the price as the quality was outstanding and the owner is trying to do something for British farmers in a very tough environment, the pup itself was outstanding. It was very tranquil and I would return. 🌹
Well said, great comment!
@GaryEats Yes, I didn't mean to sound negative. I just mean that he's designed a tough job for himself and his staff. It can be done, because people can be professionals and do their jobs well. But there aren't many failsafes that I can see. I think his aims are truly admirable and I hope he succeeds over time.
The problem with continued money printing is your sliding sense of what is reasonable.
VERY soon, you'll pay £10 for just one sausage at Five Guys. If we don't support the farmers NOW, when we still can, that's the price level for crickets.
I'm a big fan of Clarkson and was intending to visit his pub this week. I know that eastern part of the Cotswolds quite well as it's only an hours drive from my house. Looked rather pricey (isn't everything now) but clearly really good quality. I think I'll pay a visit when all the fuss has died down, perhaps October. Really like the Starmer ban too!
Yes give it a few months I feel, although no doubt will be heaving at Christmas
I'd pay extra for the starmer ban alone! 😂😂
I'd ban all politicians tbh.
It's nice to see that Jeremy promoting/raising awareness for British food/farming. We need to more to support British things.
100% 👍
Completely agree!
@@matthewbryan4983 Pity tight fisted Yorkshire food reviewers don't agree Awesome produce on their doorstep but don't support FACT
@@747jono I'll have to watch his video
He is promoting himself and his career and has chosen a clever avenue to do it.
Just discovered this page and very good it is too. Good quality will always cost more and if Gary is honest in his rating of the food then it will be worth paying the price. Nothing worse than cheap, poorly cooked food no matter what it cost. So well done Gary and keep going.
Hi Gary. What a lovely pub.! The outdoor area was great. Sausage roll was quite substantial. Yum yum. Hears to Gary, and Jeremy 🎉
I completely agree with you, stunning pub
That sausage roll looked epic! James May’s pub grub looked better tbh, but it’s not really a fair comparison
I agree, and it’s not a fair comparison
Yes agree perhaps Clarkson trying for a different crowd
@@747jono Jez is looking out for the working class,dont forget he is a Yorkshireman
Gary didn't even get to try the pub grub lol main lunch menu was off. Let's find out when he returns!
James will never know....😂
❤ your channel Gary. Always fun and informative
That is so kind to say
brioche is French, that bun i assume is made in the Uk but a french recipe. kebabs are greek, or turkish. burger is german, and American, fries are French, well belgiun to be precise, I know all these are made in GB. but so is KETCHUP and COCA COLA. very confusing, almost like a point is being made lol. but i would eat there it looks lovely.
You do make some very good observations, thank you
