Jeremy Clarkson reveals pub lawn secret as hosepipe ban hits Cotswolds
Clarkson said boreholes supply water to the pub’s grounds, which stay green while surrounding fields dry out under prolonged drought, he wrote.
- Television presenter Jeremy Clarkson revealed he maintains lush green lawns at his Cotswolds pub, The Farmer's Dog, by using private boreholes to bypass a hosepipe ban enforced by Thames Water.
- Following five heatwaves and months of minimal rainfall, Thames Water and other utility providers instituted restrictions across England, pushing around 70% of the country into drought conditions.
- Clarkson explained the legal process involves drilling about 100 metres underground to access groundwater, suggesting singer Sir Rod Stewart likely employed the same method at his Essex mansion.
- Despite the drought, The Farmer's Dog continues to draw crowds, boasting an impressive Tripadvisor rating of 4.3 out of five from nearly 1,500 reviews since its August 2024 opening.
- The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit estimates the dry spring and summer could cost UK farmers as much as £390 million due to harvest losses, contrasting sharply with the pub's prosperity.
