Jeremy Clarkson CLOSES restaurant on Diddly Squat farm after local council ruled against the Top Gear star's venture - as neighbours hail move as a 'win for the community'

• The former Top Gear presenter opened the eatery in a farmyard barn last July
• But residents in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, lodged complaints with the council
• West Oxfordshire District Council has now served a closure enforcement notice

 

FULL STORY

He has a reputation. There us no doubt about that.

 

However, it seems some people use that reputation to make up their minds that everything he does, says or thinks is bad.

 

He certainly backs British farmers and has become a bit of a flag bearer for them. Sadly, he is Marmite and the haters appear to have won, in this case.

Bit of a mystery to me as to why the good residents of Chadlington seem to have objections to humans eating in a farmyard barn but presumably not livestock animals!????

I suspect it's purely because of who the owner is.

It wasn't personal , locals claimed that his restaurant caused too much of a disturbance in the area   , cars and traffic and things
