Jeremy Clarkson has disclosed some astonishing revelations about the items frequently stolen from his establishment, The Farmer's Dog Pub. In the latest season of Clarkson's Farm, the television personality shared with viewers the extent of thefts occurring at his venue, which include a remarkable number of pint glasses.
Speaking directly to the camera in the new series, Clarkson posed a question: 'Glasses, wanna hazard a guess how many of these are stolen every week?' After a brief pause, he answered, 'No you're quite wrong, it's 400. 400 glasses a week are nicked from here.'
He then proceeded to list other peculiar items that have disappeared from the pub. 'Just last night, somebody stole 200 pounds worth of cooking oil – and that's not the maddest thing that gets nicked from here,' Clarkson explained. He added that staff have been compelled to secure the traps in the urinals with bolts, as these were also being stolen. The traps, which hold a small amount of water at the base to prevent unpleasant odours, have become an unexpected target. 'Who steals a urinal trap?' Clarkson questioned, while confirming that lightbulbs are also regularly swiped.
These revelations come as Clarkson learned from his land agent, Charlie, that The Farmer's Dog Pub, which opened in 2024, has been operating at a loss despite bustling trade. Charlie noted, 'It's partly the success that's causing the additional cost, as the infrastructure of the pub can't cope.' He highlighted that expenses such as emptying the cesspit, employing parking attendants, and grease extraction are causing financial strain. In response, Clarkson decided to align prices with those of other local pubs, despite concerns that The Farmer's Dog was already perceived as expensive.
Alongside updates on the pub, Clarkson's Farm season five also features scenes documenting Clarkson's alarming health scare, which required emergency heart surgery. The series further follows the presenter as he participates in a farming protest in London, opposing the government's proposed inheritance tax reforms that could severely impact agricultural workers.
Season five is being released in three parts. The first four episodes are currently available to stream on Prime Video. The second instalment, comprising episodes five and six, will be released on June 10, while the final two episodes, seven and eight, will arrive on June 17.
