Jeremy clarkson's furious response as fan complains about £24 steak pie at pub

TV'S CLARKSON'S FARM STAR JEREMY CLARKSON HAS HIT BACK AT A MOANING CUSTOMER WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE STEAK PIE AT HIS PUB - AND TOLD THEM 'ENJOY YOUR

CHLORINE' JERRY LAWTON and SUSAN KNOX Assistant Showbiz Editor 07:21, 02 Jun 2025Updated 10:57, 02 Jun 2025 Jeremy Clarkson hit back at customers grumbling about the £24 price tag on

his pub's steak pie, cheekily retorting: "Enjoy your chlorine". The star of Clarkson's Farm, 65, has insisted on paying 'premium' prices for top-quality local

beef for the pies served up at The Farmer's Dog, the pub showcased in the Amazon series. Clarkson suggested that those balking at the cost could resort to less scrumptious,

chemically-treated alternatives. The sharp-tongued ex Top Gear presenter delivered the rebuff following criticism from a disgruntled punter who contacted him on social media, griping:

"Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." Never one to shy away from a challenge, Clarkson fired back: "Have you

seen beef prices right now? If you could make it for less, I'll give you a job." In response to another query, "Your cows aren't they Jeremy?" Clarkson clarified:

"Some are. Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don't want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine." The

recent series of Clarkson's Farm documents Clarkson's struggle against soaring expenses as he opens his pub near Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton, Oxon. One memorable episode

saw him gagging from the foul odour while rehabilitating the pub's old septic tank. Since launching in August with a commitment to only offering local fare, The Farmer's Dog has

garnered widespread acclaim – despite Clarkson conceding he was at one stage losing £10 per patron. Its current menu lists 'steak pie, mash, carrots, seasonal greens and Hawkstone

gravy' for the sum of £24. Article continues below The pub's website boasts: "Our menu is made entirely with ingredients produced on British farms. It'll change based on

what's in season, but it'll always be absolutely f****** delicious. Take a look and see what takes your fancy." Some on X slammed the pie as 'f****** extortionate'

and labelled him 'tight', with one quipping: "At least Dick Turpin wore a mask." Yet, many rallied behind him - especially those who've sampled the pie themselves,

with suggestions even coming in that he should hike the price further. A fan took to Twitter, proclaiming: "Was the best £24 spent! Fantastic meal there, great food and all local

produce - stop whinging!". Another enthusiast simply exclaimed: "Ah! But what pie". And another chimed in: "Worth every penny." A regular at Clarkson's

establishment declared: "Best pub in the world is not for you, stick to McDonalds." Meanwhile, patron Jason Rees shared: "Having eaten in @JeremyClarkson's pub and

expecting it to be over hyped and average I was so impressed with the food we rebooked, as soon as we could, to repeat the experience." He added: "It's not cheap food but the

quality was outstanding." GET THE LATEST SHOWBIZ NEWS WITH OUR MIRROR CELEBS WHATSAPP GROUP WHATSAPP GROUP: Be first to get the juiciest celebrity news to your phone by joining our

is reasonable...you want to visit my village pub up north the prices are through the roof." Article continues below Another supporter commented: "I'm guessing it's using

unprocessed ingredients and fresh veg. There's a saying you get what you pay for. You could have a Dacia Duster pie meal for £10 rr a Mercedes pie for £24." Yet another addressed

a complainer, saying: "You must be a complete idiot! £4 is vat Then you take off the price of the fresh ingredients, then the staffs salary, Nat ins, and employer pension contribution,

then the non domestic rates, gas and electric, rent. There will not be much left at all. Price should be £30." FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON TIKTOK, SNAPCHAT, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, FACEBOOK,
