Olivia Wilde and Emma Roberts looked chic in floor-length gowns as they attended a Zimmerman Summer event on Wednesday in Mykonos, Greece. …
Big Brother star and food critic Henry Southan savaged Jeremy Clarkson’s Farmer’s Dog pub in a new TikTok video posted this week.
The TV star and food influencer, 26, decided to take his dad to the pub near Burford in Oxfordshire to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday.
But he wasn’t too impressed with the food complaining that the beef and pork on his roast dinner where dry and moaned that the overflow car park was too far away from the actual restaurant.
He penned in the caption of his video posted to TikTok on Tuesday: ‘Jeremy Clarkson’s pub was… interesting.’
He said in his video as he arrived at the overflow car park: ‘It’s like arriving at Glastonbury – this is the overflow car park. I am in a field far away from the pub and I am having to trek to the pub even with a reservation.’
As he made his way to the pub he went on: ‘This better be the best roast I have ever eaten to justify the pain of just parking and getting here. I am being a proper moaner right now I’m sorry but it’s just crazy.’

He later added as he approached the pub: ‘There is a massive queue out the door – do I have to queue in that even if I have a reservation for now?’
Later filming himself eating his roast he said to his dad: ‘You were right about the beef it is really dry!’
Henry even looked like he was struggling to chew his mouthful as he spoke to his dad.
He then tried the pork and commented: ‘The pork is also really dry!’
Henry then zoomed in on his plate of food as he pushed his roast potatoes with his knife to point out their lack of crispness.
At the end of his clip he looked completely bewildered as he shared that the pub piano was playing the EastEnders theme tune.
After the negative review some of his followers weren’t too happy with what he had said – while others agreed that they had also found the pub food average.
One said: ‘Sir.. he opened a rural pub that serves British farm food not a fancy restaurant for the rich.’
Another added: ‘Such a positive attitude to helping the local British farmers…’

A third said: ‘booked busiest restaurant in Britain right now – angry when busy ?????’
However one of the viewers of his clip agreed with him, writing: ‘It’s a weird vibe in there. Food is mid.’
It comes after last September Jeremy gave a telling answer to a question about his struggling pub, The Farmer’s Dog, when he appeared on Good Morning Britain.
His boozer, which opened its doors last August, only uses produce from Great Britain- including even seasonings such as pepper and salt – all in the hopes of further supporting British farmers.
However, this has left the former Top Gear presenter in a bit of a pickle as he quickly discovered the significantly higher costs for home-grown products.
And it appeared The Grand Tour host was not up for discussing the recent challenges because when showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold enquired about it, he shut the conversation down with one word: ‘Don’t.’
Alongside his motoring pals James May and Richard Hammond, Jeremy, 64, admitted that before opening the establishment, he was warned not to do it.
Fellow presenter James said: ‘It’s making money, isn’t it? And it’s easy to run,’

Jeremy then quickly retorted and revealed the sage advice he ignored from friends such as James Blunt and Guy Ritchie.
He said: ‘No. It’s properly difficult. He said not to get one. He said ‘I’ve got one, don’t get one,’ and I got one. James Blunt also told me not to get one, Guy Ritchie told me not to get one.’
It came after he confessed he is likely losing ‘£10 per customer’ at his the pub in the Cotswolds because of his strict business model.
The TV star said he hoped to make a success of The Farmer’s Dog but added using only British produce meant that profit margins would be much lower.
He said using pork from his Diddly Squat farm would cost 0.74p to turn into sausage to be sold at the pub.
But if he used imported pig meat it would be 0.18p.
He said: ‘It costs us 0.74p to get a sausage into here, but if I buy imported pig meat it is 0.18. There is something wrong with the food system in this country.’
As well as his financial woes, Jeremy revealed he has created a VIP bar at the pub, but it is just for farmers.
The former Top Gear presenter said that only agricultural workers were allowed in the ‘upstairs bar’ at his boozer.
People waited patiently for a taste of his £6 pint of Hawkstone beer or the chance to tuck into an £18 plate of sausage and mash at the opening.
However, one disgruntled Instagram user slammed the prices as ‘sick’ and said: ‘Really necessary to charge those prices? Absolutely ripping people off because it’s on TV.’
But Jeremy defended the prices and said: ‘Every single thing was grown by British farmers, even the black pepper and sugar!’

But buying directly from local producers and guaranteeing fair pay for British farmers means an increase in price for pub customers.
Hawkstone IPA, Hawkstone Premium, Hawkstone Hedgerow Cider, and Hawkstone Cider all come in at £6 a pint, a half-pint will set punters back £3.10.
Hawkstone Session Lager comes in at the fractionally cheaper cost of £5.50 per pint, which is the same price for a Hawkstone Pils, Hawkstone Breeze, and cask ale — halves of which are £2.90.
The pub also sells cans of alcohol-free Hawkstone Spa lager for £3.10.
Along with steak pie and mash (£19), other main courses include gammon steak (£19), sausages and mash (£18), as well as a vegetable and cheddar crumble (£15).
Puddings cost around £8 with both apple crumble and cheesecake on the menu.
