The future of Jeremy Clarkson's controversial farm restaurant is still up in the air - but for a brief time last summer it was arguably one of the most 'unforgettable' dining experiences on offer. As season two of Clarkson's Farm shows, the former Top Gear presenter opened a restaurant in an abandoned barn on Diddly Squat Farm after he found a "delightful little loophole".
The rustic and mostly outdoor eatery boasted stunning views of the countryside and a menu by acclaimed chef Pip Lacey. However, the restaurant was short-lived as the council soon ordered the farm to shut the restaurant, saying at the time that its "nature, scale [and] siting is unsustainable and incompatible with its countryside location within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty."
While Clarkson and his team wait to see if their appeal against the decision is successful, reviews on Opentable give us a glimpse into what the restaurant was like during its short life - and what to possibly expect if it ever reopens.
