- The star seemed casual in dad jeans and a crumpled shirt as he welcomed guests.
- Despite lacking experience, Clarkson decided to venture into the pub business.
In a remarkable display of popularity, Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop attracted thousands of fans to its grand opening, following the success of his hit TV series, Clarkson's Farm. Fans traveled from far and wide, creating significant traffic congestion as they queued for hours to purchase quirky merchandise, including a £22 scented candle and £4.50 butter. Despite the last-minute preparations, including the installation of a pub sign featuring a model of Clarkson's dog, the atmosphere remained festive as eager fans awaited their chance to meet the television personality. Many attendees expressed their excitement, sharing stories of their spending, which included over £100 on Clarkson-related items. The overwhelming turnout underscored the impact of Clarkson's Farm, which has transformed into a cultural phenomenon. The farm shop's success has also led to the establishment of a brewery, now recognized as the fastest-growing privately owned brewery in the UK, with its products available in over 200 pubs. However, Clarkson's plans to open a restaurant in a barn faced challenges from local authorities, partly due to the pub's proximity to a well-known local dogging site. Despite these setbacks, the grand opening was a celebration of Clarkson's enduring appeal, with fans eager to soak in the atmosphere and catch a glimpse of the star himself. As attendees filled the galleried bar, they expressed their admiration, noting the uniqueness of Clarkson's presence, particularly in contrast to entertainment figures in other countries.
