Driving through the Cotswolds in south-west England, you pass a pub every few minutes. Plenty have award-winning menus. Some are hundreds of years old or in the most picturesque locations. But only one has a queue of more than 400 people waiting outside: the Farmer’s Dog. It’s the latest project from Jeremy Clarkson, and it opened on Friday in Burford, Oxfordshire.

It’s another frenzied event in a summer that’s generated booking hysteria in multiple areas – whether for a ticket to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour or a table for the 30th anniversary celebrations at St John restaurant. (Along with dishes from their original menu, the operators are bringing back their 1994 prices; seats sold out immediately.)
