Jeremy Clarkson battles a series of last-minute setbacks at his Farmer’s Dog pub in the series four finale of Clarkson’s Farm.
The reality TV series, which follows former Top Gear star Clarkson and his crew as they navigate new challenges and projects at Diddly Squat Farm, returned for its latest series last month.
The last two episodes of series four, which will be uploaded to Prime Video on June 6, will show Clarkson's preparations for the pub's grand opening as he receives help from his co-star Kaleb Cooper.
In episode seven, titled Hurrying, Clarkson, 65, realises his major mistake that the August bank holiday weekend, which is when he is due to open the pub, is a week earlier than he thought.
In the next episode, titled Landlording, the team encounter a series of major issues while trying to put together the last-minute opening event.
A teaser from the episode shows a chef telling the worried-looking The Grand Tour star: “Power cut. Fans are dead, no gas... lunch service is a bust, basically,” as hordes of fans wait at the bar.
The pub, formerly known as The Windmill, is located in Asthall, near Burford in Oxfordshire, and was reopened by Clarkson last August.
Clarkson sells his own Hawkstone lager in the venue and wanted to have all of the produce sold there grown or reared by British farmers.
In a post to the pub's website, he said that ingredients like quinine in tonic water cannot be grown in Britain but emphasised that they are "doing all we possibly can to support British farming".
The motoring journalist recently revealed running a pub is “more stressful” than looking after a farm.
“There are so many things that you discover about opening and running a pub that you wouldn’t even consider,” he told PA.
“When you and I go in a pub, you ask for a pint, you get a pint, you sit down, maybe have some pork scratchings or something, and it doesn’t look that difficult.
“But there’s an enormous amount of regulation on food hygiene and safety. And then you’ve got staffing. You’ve got to try and find chefs, you’ve got to find waitresses, and that’s all very complicated,” he added to PA.
His timing might have also added unnecessary extra pressure.
He explained: “I wanted to try and capture the August Bank Holiday Weekend, which meant that we were trying to open it at the exact same time as I was doing the harvest,” he said.
“So I’d spend all day trying desperately to get the pub open and dealing with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of problems.
“Then you get home absolutely knackered, and you have to get into your tractor and do grain carting through the night. So it’s not really a secret [that] the stress was so bad.”
The new series of Clarkson’s Farm has seen him dealing with a range of livestock - from a big new bull and a very little pig, to high-tech goats.
The programme, which first aired in 2021, brings to light problems which British farmers face and the costs of running a farm.
Clarkson has become a vocal supporter of farmers and attended a protest in London against the Government's move to introduce inheritance tax on farmland in November 2024.
