Seems more like a fun experiment for his show, which I’m sure will be very informative. He should just serve what’s local and easily available. I went to a restaurant in Estonia that served only medieval available foods. So no potatoes, tomatoes etc… it was interesting.
>I asked an AI program to work out what the average price of lunch in a Cotswolds pub is and just charged that.
I struggle to decide whether he’s thick as shit or just hamming it up for the cameras.
Is this news or just a typical opportunity for redditors to hate on him.
Is he actually losing £10 per customer or is this one of those financial tricks where they try to pretend money they haven’t even made is already theirs?
He hasn’t lost it. He just hasn’t made it.
He’s not losing money, he’s not making as much as he could.
I went to a pub that had hawkstone session the other day and it’s honestly the nicest draft pint I think I’ve ever had.
we have a pub 100 m from me 5 couples have had their pants pulled down trying to make it float
A min of 45k each they have been looking for 75k and they will rebuild with 400k no one is interested so its now for sale, the issue is the rent and you have to buy the alcohol from them you have zero other option
Is this just him making public the struggles independent pub and bar owners face?
He’s brought the farmers issues right into the public eye. While Jezza isn’t personally going to be going bankrupt he will be highlighting the difficulties the majority of publicans are facing.
Clarksons business is running a charming parochial business comically badly for the sake of good tv … sounds like it’s going great.
I love the show but anyone who can’t work out that he’s getting paid a fucking fortune by amazon making one of their most popular shows and everything he does like the sheep the cows the pub ect is all for content, “oh what a silly Billy he lost a few grand on those sheep” yeah but he got four episodes of content out of them and is making hundreds of thousands an episode ffs.
He’s got a point. The cost of food by rights should be far more expensive than it is to reflect the real costs of production. The supermarkets, and other distributors, need the supply lines of international markets to keep prices as low as they are.
So if you only buy from UK suppliers it’s actually at the real cost of producing food which is a problem for a UK consumer used to low food prices.
I used to run gastro-pubs similar to Clarksons in the warwickshire area. I can tell you for a fact hes not losing money, unless his rent is a million a year.
Of course he is. Wouldn’t want taxing on profit would he?
Seems like he’s making a point about the cost of using exclusively British produce. Everyone likes to say they prefer home-grown until it comes to paying for it, and that’s why British farmers are a dying breed. Clarkson is doing an excellent job of publicising that issue and making it relatable.
Isn’t there a meme of Jeremy Clarkson for this exact situation
I mean.. gets paid like £200 million to do a show. If you do the show and spunk a few grand up the wall, it’s hardly ‘losing a fortune’ he could open 50 restaurants and they could all fail and he’d still be doing just fine.
Where’s the ‘oh no … anyway’ meme when you need it.
Making a loss means he can save tax on the farm etc and other businesses
Wasn’t this the whole point of the show?
Farming is uneconomical. Absurd prices barely scrape even. And nobody cared, so Clarkson bought a tractor and tried to make people care.
