Clarkson's Farm has returned to screens, and with it comes bustling Cotswolds lanes and increased crowds visiting the ever-popular Diddly Squat Farm. The fifth season presents former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and his team with fresh challenges, from government budgets to high-tech crop treatments.
After expanding his Clarkson's Farm venture from Diddly Squat and the Hawkstone brewery into The Farmer's Dog pub in Burford, footfall to the now-famous farm remains high. Part one of the Prime Video hit landed on Wednesday, 3 June, with subsequent episodes releasing on 10 June and the final two on 17 June.
Where is Diddly Squat Farm Shop?
Clarkson's 1,000-acre farm sits just outside the village of Chadlington near Chipping Norton in the heart of the west Oxfordshire Cotswold Hills (5-12 Chipping Norton Road, Chipping Norton, OX7 3PE). The market town also boasts a mix of antique shops, traditional pubs, and the Grade I-listed St Mary's Church, making it ideal for a quintessential English staycation. From central London, it is around a two-hour drive or a one-hour and ten-minute Great Western Railway train from London Paddington to Charlbury.
Can you visit Diddly Squat Farm Shop?
The farm shop has been popular since it first opened in 2020. Expect long queues and a car park at maximum capacity by noon on most weekends. Diddly Squat Farm Shop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30am to 4:30pm, including bank holiday weekends. Four-legged friends are welcome on site, except inside the shop.
Is the Diddly Squat restaurant still open?
The Big View Cafe, selling Clarkson's own Hawkstone beer and a seasonal brioche burger menu by Baste Food, including creative veggie options, has set up tables in the farm's lambing barn for post-queue bites Wednesday through Sunday since 2021. Due to unpredictable queues, it is not possible to book the Big View Cafe or a slot to visit the farm shop.
Where is The Farmer's Dog pub?
Clarkson opened country pub The Farmer's Dog, a village boozer on five acres of countryside near Burford, in August 2024. He bought the pub near his Diddly Squat Farm and Hawkstone Lager brewery for less than £1 million after a lengthy search seen on screen in season four of Clarkson's Farm. The pub is open Tuesday through Sunday with an all-British menu, The Grand Tour tent, and butcher and bottle shop, Hops & Chops. The first four episodes of Clarkson's Farm season five are streaming now on Prime Video.
