The Farmer’s Dog, near Burford, has a ‘proper Sunday roast’ but there was a strict time limit and items that couldn’t be ordered

The dining experience at Jeremy Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, has been revealed.

The pub near Burford, Oxfordshire is offering a ‘proper Sunday lunch’ but there is a time limit given to time at the table and it was “a bit rushed” but ultimately the meal “did not disappoint”.

Emma Gray of Birmingham Live visited Clarkson’s establishment and had to book a table a month before and was then advised that they could only have the table from noon til 1pm.

Emma said that during her visit she found it “busy, but not overcrowded,” and the “service was friendly,” and there “were fun touches for the fans (no spoilers here).”

Speaking about what food was on offer, Emma wrote: “The Sunday lunch menu is a carvery, which always makes my heart sink a bit, but this one is done really well. They have perfected a system where you don’t spend ages queuing, and you get served by a member of the team, rather than having to wonder whether someone before you has licked the serving spoon.”

Describing what they chose, Emma revealed: “I had beef, Yorkshires, cauliflower cheese and an amazing range of veg, even red cabbage, which I love. Everything is locally sourced and supporting British farmers, just the way it should be.”

When it came to desserts. Emma admitted she couldn’t resist. She added: “Although we both promised ourselves that we wouldn’t have a pudding, who can resist apple crumble and custard? The portion was huge, and it was delicious, not overly sweet and there was still some substance in the apple.”

Summing up her time at Clarkson’s pub, Emma wrote: “The Farmer’s Dog isn’t just a gimmicky experience, the food is really good, it’s well presented and served with pride. I love that everything is produced nearby.”

There were three things that she couldn’t have during her visit, and they were a random selection. Emma wrote: “You can’t have coffee, ketchup or lemonade – there’s a sign outside the pub explaining they don’t serve coffee or ketchup.

“The people at the table next to us asked for a latte but were politely refused. I also asked for a cider shandy when we arrived but staff explained they don’t sell lemonade.
