Jeremy Clarkson’s new pub in Burford, Oxfordshire has finally been given a new name after the Grand Tour star purchased the property.
Before Clarkson took the reins, the pub located in the Cotswolds was best-known to locals as The Windmill.
But after forking out close to a million pounds for the pub, Clarkson has decided to give it a bit of a rebrand.
On Instagram, a new account was set up for the pub, revealing it’s name to be The Farmer’s Dog.
Confirming the opening times, its first post on the page explained: “The Farmer’s Dog opens Friday 23rd August 12pm ..OX18 4HJ ///grinders.fruits.pints #backbritishfarmingdrinkhawkstone ..follow us to get the latest news.”
Before long, the comments on the post were flooded with excited fans sharing their thoughts on the rebrand.
“Absolutely brilliant name! Here’s to is tremendous success both in business and supporting farmers!!” one fan commented.
“You did it Jeremy congratulations to you all,” a second echoed before a third weighed in: “Congrats guys can’t wait to come and visit.”
“Fantastic name ..we look forward to visiting,” a fourth said and a fifth similarly added: “Great name you will be rammed on opening and beyond wish I lived closer would defo join you for a pint, cheers Jeremy and good luck.”
Elsewhere, another simply put: “Good luck I’m sure it will be a huge success.”

Clarkson and his team have faced several obstacles to get to this point ever since he first announced he’d purchased the pub.

“Then I started to struggle. I found tea that had been grown in Cornwall and even sourced British black peppercorns, British salt and British sugar. And before you ask, yes, all the wines are British too.”
But his “biggest annoyance” came to the price of using his own meat reared on his farm.
“If I take one of my own pigs, slaughter it and butcher it, each one of the resultant sausages will cost me 74p,” he said.
“Whereas if I buy imported pig meat, the cost drops to 18p. That’s scandalous.”
