Jeremy Clarkson delights fans as he shares major update following the closure of his Diddly Squat Farm Shop

Jeremy Clarkson has delighted fans after revealing his Diddly Squat Farm Shop is set to reopen on Saturday. 

The former Top Gear presenter, 64, first opened the farm shop, in Chadlington, in 2020.

But he revealed in December that it would be shutting up shop for January and February, for an unknown reason, with a pop-up shop open at his pub The Farmer’s Dog during that time. 

To the delight of fans, Clarkson revealed earlier this week that Diddly Squat Farm Shop would reopen on Saturday following its ‘winter break’.

The shop has undergone a refurbishment in the time it has been closed, with its iconic sign spruced up.

Sharing a snap of the sign, Clarkson wrote: ‘Just 3 days to go until Diddly Squat Farm Shop reopens following the winter break.

‘The team have been working hard to fix and refresh, just look at the sign, it’s like new. The doors will be open on Saturday and Sunday 09:30-16:30. Normal hours resume.’

Fans took to the comments to say: ‘Excellent news, our guests love visiting you♥️,’;

‘Shows it was worth every hurdle with the council, may this year be the best year yet,’; ‘Excellent! Wishing you a cracking opening

‘Looks great! Hope this year is your best year yet,’; ‘We had the best time here last year! Can’t wait to visit soon!’

Clarkson recently sparked shock after a viral video revealed he is charging £200 for a pie at his farm shop and pub.

An Instagram video filmed inside the popular Oxfordshire Diddly Squat shop features an ‘extra, extra large’ meat pie which is priced at a whopping £199.99.

A video, narrated by The Skeptics Take, showed the pie and price tag and said: ‘Enough pie to throw at your neighbour for 200 quid.’

The clip, which started off by showing the The Farmer’s Dog sign at the farm, saw a visitor walk through the farm shop and reveal the prices of some of the goods on offer.

Sharing a snap of the sign, Clarkson wrote: 'Just 3 days to go until Diddly Squat Farm Shop reopens following the winter break'

‘I went to Jeremy Clarkson’s pub and farm shop so you don’t have to,’ a voiceover states.

The video shows how visitors to the pub must pay £2 for parking in a ‘muddy field’, which caused controversy among viewers. 

The voiceover told watchers that after paying for parking, visitors could choose from ‘an array of overpriced souvenirs that will end up in your bin’.

It then showed various objects available to purchase, including a Christmas candle for £22 with the branding: ‘This smells like my Christmas balls’.

It then turns to a stack of large pies on a countertop, ranging from large to extra extra large. 

While a large pie costs ‘just’ £46.15, the extra extra large version is on sale for a whopping £200.

Also featured in the clip is a litre of milk in a glᴀss bottle for £6.10. 

Finally the clip reveals the toilet facilities – which are inside a shipping container.

The video describes this as a ‘construction site experience’.

It’s not the first time the farm shop has caused controversy – it was previously plagued by poor reviews online complaining of long queues to get in and ‘overpriced’ products.

Clarkson is expected to return to UK screens soon with the upcoming release of season four of Clarkson’s Farm.

Prime Video’s popular documentary about the day-to-day life on Chadlington’s Diddly Squat Farm has also been commissioned for a fifth season, confirmed by the former Top Gear host last year.

Representatives for Clarkson were contacted for comment at the time.
