Jeremy Clarkson slammed for offering up £85 ‘road kill’ at Cotswolds pub as he serves squirrel and snail caviar in controversial menu

Jeremy Clarkson has been slammed by customers for his new controversial £85-a-head menu at his Cotswolds boozer.

The 65-year-old former Top Gear star has introduced a stomach-churning Dare Night list at his Farmer’s Dog pub, which includes pan-fried brains, lamb’s hearts and snail caviar.

The evening of peculiar food items will appear in an episode of his Amazon show Clarkson’s Farm, and willing fans will be able to have a cameo on the show.

He is set to be hosting it on April 28, and the grub is not for the faint-hearted and took to social media to slam the dishes. 

They fumed: ‘Disgusting’: ‘I think you are a barbarian’: ‘You can’t beat a bit of road kill’: ‘Don’t get me wrong I like me a nice big piece of meat, but I’m going nowhere near it if it’s still looking at me’: ‘That is so gross why would you eat a squirrel?’.

Alongside the new menu featured on his pub’s website it read: ‘Fed up with beige, safe food? Want to try new things? Difficult things? Weird things?

‘Well if you’re intrigued, join us at the Farmer’s Dog. This is not an event for the faddy or those of a vegan disposition, as will have a menu filled with all the things that people normally discard.

 ‘You might hate half of it. But you might go home with a steely determination to eat stomach lining as often as possible.’

However it hasn’t gone down well with some fans, as one comments on the pub’s Instagram page were appalled.

It comes after Jeremy could face yet another council showdown as he looks to improve the car park at his pub.

The presenter wants to increase parking spaces and plant trees at his two car parks at the Farmer’s Dog, with visitor numbers greatly increasing since he took over the pub in August last year.

But complaints over traffic and even the direction of a swinging gate have been raised as part of a consultation.

There has been growing local pressure to close it after suggestions that a neighbouring 1,400-year-old burial mound containing the remains of an Anglo-Saxon warlord could be damaged by the increasing number of cars now arriving.

Clarkson has submitted a planning application for the ‘retention’ of works to increase the number of parking spaces for visitors and to ‘formalise’ staff parking.

Oxfordshire County Council said it raised no objection but if the district council deemed the car parking ‘not to be an established use’, Clarkson would have to submit another planning application.

It also raised issues over visibility at the exit, the risk of flooding and traffic.

A spokesperson said: ‘Taking account of the site’s potential levels of traffic generation and higher levels of parking demand, it is requested that a Traffic Management Method Statement (TMMS) be suitably conditioned if consent were to be granted.’

The presenter spent £1million to take charge of The Farmer’s Dog which is close to his base in the hugely popular Clarkson’s Farm TV show and has spoken of how expensive the project has been – but he’s dependent on car users to have any hope of keeping it solvent.

The TV presenter – who recently had a heart operation due to stress – recently spoke of how desperate the pub trade was, listing a range of difficulties he has had since opening.

Clarkson wrote how his pub – run only on British produce – is a ‘total disaster’ behind the scenes as thefts, traffic chaos and toilet nightmares run rampant.

When the Farmer’s Dog first opened in Oxfordshire in August many had travelled from far and wide to the picturesque spot for a chance of a pint, with the car park rammed within an hour of its opening.
