Jeremy Clarkson says pub barely turns profit due to thefts, parking charges and toilet issues Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that Christmas at his pub “is a total disaster” after it was hit by theft, high parking charges and toilet mishaps.
The broadcaster, prone to hyperbole, also described how in one case recently “chemically trained hazmat engineers had to be employed” to handle a bathroom disaster in one of the pub’s outdoor loos.
He explained how the pub has been hit by unexpected costs, from parking charges to clearing up toilet mishaps.
The 64-year-old said the pub is forced to spend £27,000 a month on parking and traffic marshals “to keep the council off our back”.
The Farmer’s Dog in Asthall, near Burford in Oxfordshire, reopened to the public on August 23 after being rebranded and hundreds queued for the doors to open on the first day of trading.
