Jeremy Clarkson shocks fans after charging £200 for a single pie in his farm shop

It’s certainly not your typical takeaway pie

No matter how expensive things seem to get in this country, it feels like one thing you should be able to guarantee is not paying energy bill prices for some pie.

I mean, if there’s one thing the UK does well, and does well on a budget, it’s filling pastry.

But Jeremy Clarkson has shocked his fans after charging a whopping £199.99 for a single pie in his farm shop.

Yep, the bloke people love to watch running a farm on TV and overcoming battles to run his pub has caused a stir with his pricing of filling a pastry.

A visitor at his The Farmer’s Dog was pretty baffled to see the price tag while wandering around the famous farm shop in Oxfordshire.

Since it opened at the end of August last year, fans of Clarkson and his Clarkson’s Farm show have flocked to the spot to see it in real-life.

And an Instagram video narrated by The Skeptics Take gave a bit of a tour of the farm shop on site for those who haven’t made it down just yet.

He says the place is filled with ‘overpriced souvenirs’ that will likely just ‘end up in your bin’.

The clip then adds: “Enough pie to throw at your neighbour for 200 quid.”

Sitting on a deli countertop, the video shows a tier of four hefty pies with the bottom labelled as ‘Extra Extra Large’.

‘Traditionally made’, there isn’t much description given other than it being ‘made to order’ for the pretty price of £199.99.

The next tier up of the made to order pies is the ‘Extra Large’ for £107.69 before the Large at £46.15. These shiny pies are labelled as being from Hops & Chops, the onsite butchers at The Farmer’s Dog.

Users were baffled by the prices as one wrote: “Is it seriously £200 for a pie?!”

Reviewing prices in the clip, another wrote: “I’ll cancel my planned visit asap.”

As one added: “I am wondering how they can justify prices like that. Can’t imagine there being any takers.”

However, others defended Clarkson’s spot as one wrote: “You know what you are going to see before you go. If you don’t like it don’t go.”

As another echoed: “I’ve been to the shop several times and love it! Yes it’s expensive but so are so many other things. It’s fun, live a little!”
