Jeremy Clarkson's Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Dog, has introduced its own wine range after previously refusing to stock English wine. The former Top Gear presenter, 66, had banned wine from the menu for two years, claiming he did not think English wine was good enough.
The new range, called Knollbury Fort, was launched over the bank holiday weekend at The Great British Farm-Fest. It includes three wines: Firelight Pinot Noir (£28.95), Midsummer Rosé (£22.95), and Arrowhead White (£21.95). A case of all three costs £69.
The pub, which only sells products 'grown and reared' in Britain, already stocked Clarkson's Hawkstone beer, Hedgerow Cider, and Diddly Squat Farm Bee Juice Whisky. The new wines use grapes from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk.
English and Welsh wine production rose by 55% in 2025 compared to 2024, with over 16.5 million bottles produced, according to the Food Standards Agency. The UK wine industry is now valued at approximately £14 billion.
The Farmer's Dog, featured on Prime Video's Clarkson's Farm, has received mixed reviews online. Some customers praised the 'great experience' and 'amazing' food, while others criticised high prices, 'massive queues', and 'very dry' food.
