Jeremy clarkson admits he 'didn't sleep' as he was 'worried' about pub decision

Clarkson's Farm, streaming on Prime Video, sees Jeremy Clarkson and his land agent Charlie Ireland tackle the challenges of rural life. In the fourth season, they discuss the potential

pitfalls of purchasing The Windmill Pub, which has caught Jeremy's eye. Charlie brought to Jeremy's attention some unforeseen expenses during a meeting, highlighting that the

pub's roof was a "liability" and would require a hefty £150,000 for repairs. Jeremy, with his typical wit, asked Charlie, "Is your happiness hoover on?" only to be

informed about another costly issue: the toilets needing a £100,000 overhaul. Jeremy also expressed disbelief at the mention of wood being a "fire hazard" in the documents and the

lack of "no designated parking spaces at the property [for disabled parking]." Reflecting on the situation, Jeremy remarked, "All surveys are b****** because they all say

'this house is falling down'." This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn more Clarkson's Farm season 4 -

didn't sleep, I was worried about the pub." Determined to avoid a costly error, he said, "So the next morning, before signing on the dotted line, I decided I should talk to

various mates who had bought pubs in the past to make sure I wasn't making a big mistake." In his quest for guidance, Jeremy turned to virtual meetings with friends like Piers

Morgan, James Blunt, and James May, all of whom shared their own forewarnings. Piers offered a stark insight into the hospitality industry: "People steal stuff from pubs, every publican

will tell you. They will nick the salt and pepper pots, they will nick knives and forks." He continued, "They might even nick plates, they will nick any art they can rip off the

walls." Jeremy was aware that if theft occurred at his pub, it would mean incurring extra expenses to replace the pilfered items. Regulars of Jeremy's pub venture, The

Farmer's Dog, which opened its doors in August 2024, will recall the unfortunate incident where a significant number of pint glasses disappeared. In just one week, the establishment saw

104 pint glasses vanish, posing a challenge to the pub's profitability. He expressed his frustration in The Sunday Times, writing: "People seem to have it in their heads that if

they come in for a pint they are entitled to go home with the glass in which it was served. "One Sunday 104 went missing. And that cost must be added to the £100 a day we spend on fuel

for the generator, the £400 a week it costs to provide warmth on the terrace and the £27,000 a month we must spend on parking and traffic marshals to keep the council off our back."
