Tucked away just outside the charming town of Burford, The Farmer’s Dog is quickly becoming one of the Cotswolds’ most talked about spots — and for very good reason. Combining rustic countryside charm with modern flair, this welcoming pub offers a true taste of local life, complete with incredible food, spectacular views, and a connection to none other than Jeremy Clarkson.
A Taste of Clarkson’s Countryside Life
Fans of Clarkson’s Farm, the hit Amazon Prime series following Jeremy Clarkson’s often chaotic journey into farming, will feel right at home here. The Farmer’s Dog Pub sits around 12 miles from Diddly Squat Farm Shop, Jeremy’s real-life farm turned visitor phenomenon. The spirit of the show – combining the rugged charm of farming life with the unexpected highs and lows of rural living – is very much alive at the pub.
While you’re soaking up the atmosphere you’ll find a nod to Clarkson’s farm throughout: whether it’s the tractor hanging from the ceiling, the relaxed no-nonsense welcome, or the strong presence of local produce, including Jeremy’s own Diddly Squat Farm branded products.
Food and Drink ‘The Farmers Puppy’
As you’d expect, food and drinks are at the heart of the experience, championing locally-sourced ingredients. Picture hearty burgers, roast dinners and plenty of Hawkstone on tap. The award-winning beer and cider from Jeremy’s very own barley fields are crafted by expert brewers and has quickly become a Cotswold staple.
More Than Just a Pub. Hops and Chops and Diddly Squat Farm Shop
Adding to the Farmer’s Dog experience is their on-site butchers and farm shop. Here, you can stock up on some of the finest Cotswold produce including meat, artisan cheese and preserves plus plenty of DSF branded merchandise. Whether you’re filling a picnic basket or taking home souvenirs, it’s impossible to leave empty handed.
Views That Will Take Your Breath Away
One of the true highlights of The Farmer’s Dog is its location. Step outside onto the terrace or find a window seat and you’ll be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Cotswold countryside. Rolling fields, dry stone walls, and ancient hedgerows stretch as far as the eye can see – it’s the perfect backdrop whether you’re lingering over a long lunch or just popping in for a quick pint.
On sunny days, there’s plenty of outdoor seating, making it an ideal stop for walkers, cyclists, and dog owners (yes, it’s wonderfully dog-friendly too).
Whether you’re a hardcore Clarkson’s Farm fan, a lover of traditional British pubs, or simply looking for a Cotswold experience, The Farmer’s Dog is a must-visit. Great food, proper pints, unbeatable views, and a laid-back atmosphere all combine to create a truly special spot just a stone’s throw from Burford.
Next time you’re exploring the Cotswolds, make sure The Farmer’s Dog is on your route – and don’t be surprised if you end up staying for “just one more”!
