- I'm back in the Cotswolds to review Jeremy Clarkson's farm called Diddly Squat. Now, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding the farm especially from the locals of the area but today, I'm interested in trying out the food and see what it has it offer!

"I'm surprised Jeremy will need all that fertiliser" BRUTAL😂
Yeah, that was a clever quip. Almost too smooth. 🤣
Lol. (Sorry Jeremy).
Jeremy could need the fertiliser to grow cannabis as a side line 😂😂😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😅😅😅😅
But true
"I've got to get the fertiliser out of the boot Betty..." Frank Spencer... Morris minor over a cliff edge.. 😂
J.C. has done well with Diddly Squat. Your repeated use of the word 'quality' says it all. A thumbs up from us, too. Thanks for taking us along. Appreciated.
Quality, quality, quality. Thanks for watching Jeff!
There is no way Gary would ever get a program on the BBC, but thats the beauty of YT, people who are "normal" produce content that is excellent and interesting and we all watch it, what an excellent channel.
I actually could imagine him on bbc
Thank you Andrew. That's an extremely kind thing to say.
Why would Gary need to be on mainstream BBC. The BBC is quickly running out of steam, TH-cam etc is the future
Depends on how woke he is , does he tweet in favour of Palestine,trans ideology and is anti Tory ?
@@kentonnur😂 you're delusional. BBC is pro the tory government and labour line of committing genocide of innocent people. Why don't you get your head checked. The genocidal government of israel gets support from all facets of the western elite mainstream media
I can see the price due to the crazy regulations they put him through and the amount of resistance to someone wanting to bring a farm to life, have other farmers provide for the restaurant and make it profitable for everyone was / is just mind blowing.
I understand 👍
@@GaryEats I'm happy to see some one with money and influence like Clarkson and May actually try to do something good. Im from the states, food trucks here charge more $ than that for a sandwich and it's all store bought products. In the end im saying I thought you did a great review overall. 👍 You got another subscriber.
Let's be honest... Jeremy Clarkson, the Cotswolds... you know it's going to be expensive before you get there. Kudos to JC, Lisa and the team for providing top quality and not just trading on the name and location.
Of course Barry. Not denying that!
Have you checked out what 5 Guys charge for a burger and fries served in a paper bag in a crappy dirty outlet?
@rorywquin 🤣 I remember Christmas shopping a few years ago with my wife and daughter and went into five guys thinking just another Mcdonald type outlet till they give me the bill nearly fainted on the spot!!!
chipping norton isnt a very nice place even though its in the cotsworlds so it shouldn't be expensive at all
To be fair it's pretty on point value for the quality you're paying. Coffee at £2.50 is cheap. Farmers' products can be quite expensive but you're paying for top-draw produce and you want them to make a bit of profit to sustain themselves as well.
I’d have no problem paying for quality food and it certainly looked it. I’m planning a visit. Cheers Gary
No problem. Enjoy!
And did you end up going to Clarkson's farm ?
It was worth it for the experience of being at Diddly Squat Farm Gary, some things are just worth paying that little extra.Perhaps summer would have been more preferable. I love his programme, so do most of the farmers over here in the Republic. Great programme once again.
Well said! Thank you mate, much appreciated 😊
I agree with you, we do pay more for inferior food in the Republic. Natural food is best.
Really enjoy the down-to-earthness of your reviews, Gary. Am glad JC is producing good food on his farm. Real food has become very expensive so it's more for a treat than a regular thing these days. Keep up the great work, Gary. 👊👍😊
Thanks so much mate. Much appreciated and all the best to you.
i was amazed when i first saw the cost of the food, i really thought it would be double that. the food when it came out looked excellent quality. the burger looked spot on. well done JC .
Indeed.
...so u thought a burger and chips would b approaching £35???!! - or 3 hrs labour for half of the UK populous?
@davidstuart4915 Yes,considering most of the pull is because it's Jeremy's farm. If you went for a hotpot on the Coranation Street set, you'd expect to pay a premium. It's a day out.
Neil Morriseys pub offers gourmet level food at normal pub prices - I like Jeremy, and this is an opportunity to give a little back by keeping normal market pricing - paying triple to the privileged doesnt go down well with most hard working / retired Brits @@doglifehub
You must be a right shmuck...double? Only a fool would pay 8 pounds for chips...4 pounds is already high
It's a shame the locals are jealous of Jeremy's success !
Thanks for watching Paul 😊
You are quite right. Jealousy is a powerful drug.
Maybe they'd be supportive if he was a decent human being? Just a thought!
@@glamdolly30what's wrong with him? He has a lot of good qualities.
@@racs9606 I am more qualified than you to judge!
We went over to Oxford from Canada in May’23 to visit our son and daughter-in-law . We visited Diddly Squat and ate there. The food was very good. After we went into the shop and purchased some Hawkstone Beer. It was very smooth tasting. They couldn’t sell the t-shirts that they had on display there, so we ordered one off their website.
Very nice 👍🏼👍🏼
Been there a couple of times and had the burger both times. It's really nice, quality through and through. It's a bit pricey, but worth it if you pay a visit to Diddly Squat farm shop and the bar. Another fantastic review, Gary, keep it up! Have a wonderful rest of your day! Speak to you soon, mate!! 😊
⁰good channel mate all the best Keith and Jayne Liverpool 😀😃
Totally agree with you Frank. Thanks mate and all the best :)
Thank you Keith and Jayne.
I like the way Mr Gary always takes everything apart and tastes it individually. That's the first time I've seen any food reviewer do that in detail. 6:47 Congratulations in advance for when you reach 20k subs! 👍🥳🎉 🎆
Thank you my friend. I try to be in depth as possible whilst not boring you all!
@@GaryEats. Props to you and your cameraman for dealing with the cold! I can tell this was most likely your hardest video to record because you have to maintain a straight face while dealing with the breezy weather ❄️. As soon as the video was done you must have run to the car and got that heater on 🔥 Lol 😆
Reminds me of Grego of Greg's Kitchen the way he takes apart the burger.
Exactly that my friend 🤣 all the best.
I don’t see the point in this it put me off watching tbh because if you go there and order food let’s be honest your eating it as it comes not taking it apart
I see alot criticise Clarkson but he makes sure that the quality of ingredients shines through unlike alot of celebrities who are just out for to make a buck I appreciate that.
He could easily sell far less quality if he wanted to and make huge profits but he doesn't.
This sort of food isn't cheap to produce at all really.
Travelling to a farm means you have to add the fuel price along with maybe paying for others /family which could prove expensive
at the end of the day you get what you pay for I suppose Gary great review as always, until the next mate 👍👍
Thank you Gareth. Pretty much agree with everything you’ve said 😊
I know it's expensive but for a special treat it looks well worth it to me. That sausage and bacon in particular looked like real quality. Keep the videos coming Gary.
Pay and get something unremarkable. Pay a bit more and get something exceptional.
Will do Richard.
Yes expensive but you are also paying for the experience aswell. Quality ingredients and produce make a difference. Excellent video Gary
Absolutely! Thanks Mark.
Everywhere is expensive though these days , at least you know you are getting fresh , decent produce over Bland bogstandard pub grub
How many times have i seen Gary look very seriously into the camera and say...`That is a very good sausage`. Love the quirky locations and honest reviews. Great show as always Gary.
Haha thanks Martin. Glad you’re loving the videos!
I’m not a fan of brioche for sausages, bacon, urges etc. Too sweet. You can’t beat a crusty roll.
Fair comment Ken. Thanks for watching!
Or crusty French Stick. Yum
Agreed
💯 true
Absolutely agree. Can’t abide brioche - much too sweet. Meat is obviously good quality, but expensive. At that price, I’d want good old Jeremy himself serving me 😅
Your unlike most TH-camrs who make vlogs in and around their comfort zone…. Your vlogs are not only informative,but also you are obviously putting a lot of thought of where you are going….improving every day!!👍
Thank you so much Danny. Much appreciated mate 🙂
Clarkson doesn't mess about. He should be running the country.
Glad you liked the food.
HAHAHA
i'd watch that show
We could, (and do), do a lot worse.
Or running it down. Even further?
Love your video's Gary. Something so calming about them and your demeanor. Helps with my anxiety. I wish you all the best on here and hope you grow huge!
Well said
Thank you. I wish you all the best and glad I can make you feel a bit less anxious. I’ve been there, not nice so I feel honoured I can help in some way.
It's the the type of place alot of people will want to visit but won't be able to afford to go too often. Another great review 👍🇮🇪
Very true! Thanks Jay 😊
Yeah, I'd expect at least a slight premium since it's essentially a 'celebrity restaurant'... Question is, how much for a pint of Hawkstone Lager?
I don't think the prices are bad for produce that's been reared completely by them. Livestock are expensive, so to recoup any profits, things are obviously gonna cost more than mass produced lower quality stuff from a cash-n-carry that most places sell. So I don't really think the markup is bad at all.
That's completely fair. It was very difficult to score for this reason alone. Obviously everything is made on the farm!
Believe it or not. All produce comes from real farms like this.
@@aightm8 Real farms, yes. Like that one? No.
@aightm8 there is a huge difference between different farms. Diddly Squat is owned and run by the farmer himself. Other commercial farms are owned by conglomerates and operated purely on profit margins for their shareholders. True farmers who own and work their land put far more effort into providing quality goods for their clients. Huge kudos to JC and all at Diddly Squat Farm for their produce.
@@aightm8
MOST produce comes from mass imported, 3rd world agriculture, grown and harvested by literal slaves actually…
That’s where the cheap prices at Walmart and the like come from.
The food looks top notch and I do understand people wincing at the price. These days I prefer cooking at home but if you are going to eat at a celeb’s establishment I suppose you have to expect it. Great video as always.
Thank you my friend :)
totally different to the celebrity fish & chips you had in Harrods which wasnt all that for the price. Good when a celeb gets it right and focuses on quality - despite it being a bit pricey. God bless Gary for taking us along to all these places - celebrity owned or not. Look forward to the next one
Spot on. Thank you mate :)
Before I've seen you take a bite or heard your review, just from the close ups of the food, it looks absolutely delicious
So good. Glad you liked the food!
i think the prices are great considering the quality and novality of the items (ie diddly squat farm)....basic burgers in a pub are as expensive and not nearly as good as these....great video and introduction to Jeremys produce...i really want to try it now....thank you
Totally agree! You are more than welcome.
Those prices did look expensive. However the second that food arrived I was happy with those prices. Also I know that JC supports his local farms and he does not have pigs so I presume they come from a nearby farm.
I have watched all of the programmes and know there are local pig farmers who are struggling with imports undercutting them. I know where my money would go.
Take care Gary and Happy New Year to you.
Take Care. Happy New Year!
Now Series 3 has been released you can see that he did I fact have Pigs & at the end of Episode 4 you see the butcher bringing the boxes of Pork products from some Diddly Squat Pigs 😊
Spoiler, if you not watched Series 3 yet, some of the scenes are very sad indeed & hard to watch.
Much love from Texas Gary! thank you for recording the best eats from beautiful England, I hope to be able to visit soon. I love watching these reviews and learning about all I should and in some cases shouldnt try!
So nice of you. Hello to Texas!
This channel is blowing up!! Well deserved Gary 🍻
Thanks my friend! 👍
A bit expensive but they you kind of expect that, the portion size looked decent and the quality looked good too. Plus, you get the lovely scenery! Good stuff.
Spot on. Thank you my friend :)
Been wanting to go here for some time, excellent and honest review, Gary, Thank you! The burger looked delicious but the crunch on those fries though! 👌🤤
Thank you! It's a great place to go but best for the summer.
This is the best food review channel I’ve seen without a doubt.looking forward to more excellent reviews!✌️
More to come Stephen - thank you for the kind words!
Been watching Gary for a while, love his videos.
20k subscribers, fabulous 😍
Glad you like them Sarah. Thank you!
I’ve been there several times - the food is superb, never had a bad meal there yet. Lots of flavour, quality food and not ridiculous prices. The place is a credit to the team who built and run it. I completely disagree with your marking only 8 out of ten. You need to remember the sheer quality you are buying, and the fact that they struggle to barely make a profit on the farm (I work around farming and they are all struggling). I think it’s easily a nine - and due to the farmshop and variety of products, that’s pushing it up to a 9 1/2 for me. But, that’s just my personal opinion of course.
The food is definitely great!
Another thoroughly entertaining honest review Gary. Personally, I think the food was a diddly bargain, for very good quality food, compared to the extortionately overpriced average food you were served on the Harrods reviews. Keep up the great work mate. 👍
I agree that Harrods fish n chips was terrible.
Thank you! Ironically, all of this still came to much less than what I received at Harrods.
Harrods overheads in London must be exorbitant compared to JC cafe experience? Could drop a £ off all so not feeling the taking the piss so badly.
@@cliveoconnell3245 I suggest you actually watch Gary's Harrods fish & chips review, then try & make a more intelligent comment. 🤔
@@WORCESTERTHATCH I did and I have and won’t be paying these bargain prices or claiming the vat back.
Thanks for a great review, Gary. Go to any decent pub in the Cotswolds for a burger/chips and you'd pay something similar. So it's not bad for the area. And you get the Diddly Squat experience! 🙂
I love the Cotswolds so I will definitely be back!
THANKS GARY BEEN WAITING ALL AFTERNOON FOR THIS VIDEO, NOW I CAN SETTLE DOWN TO HAVE MY LUNCH WATCHING THIS REVIEW THANKS
Hope you enjoyed it Malcolm!
Although it is pricey, it seems like a great treat that would be well worth it. Particularly, the bacon and sausage seemed to be of genuine high grade. Gary, keep up the videos.
Thank you!!
The locals were protesting a business bringing jobs. Why? Pretty sad.
They simply don’t like Jeremy. Childish and negligent from an employment perspective.
100% True. Locals must be a bunch of sooks.
They just want to get their faces on TV, sad little Karen's, all of them.
Perhaps the neighbors resent greatly increased vehicle traffic and parking issues and noise and garbage? How many jobs? 2or 3?
Low-wage jobs.
@@Apoplexy1000 I understand the traffic considerations, but the jobs are not simply at JC’s farm. They are also at every farm/business inside of the allowed radius that provides goods for sale. Not everything is sourced from his farm.
Thank you for fighting the cold to bring this review for us we could actually feel how cold you were. Looks delicious but a bit pricey for baps we agree!
Any time!
Here, you’re not just enjoying a burger; you’re also paying for the stunning scenery and the immersive feeling of stepping right into the show you’ve loved for so long. Visiting this real-life location is absolutely worth it.
It’s definitely worth a visit
I really appreciate your unbiased opinion and how your not allowing reputations or star power to influence your review, and your cameraman or woman understands good shot composition kudos!
Very kind thank you
Looks amazing, I’d be happy to pay that as an occasional treat. Portions are big and if good quality then totally worth it.
It’s a good place to go
I assume Mr Clarkson has a lifestyle that isn't cheap to run, but if the quality is there then you don't mind paying a bit over the odds. The only thing the Burger and the Bacon sarnie needed was a big dollop of Ketchup.......lovely! Another great cast there Gary but I think you need to hang up the Gillet till the spring and get out that big thick Winter Coat out, mine was out 3 weeks ago........Brrrrrrrrr 🥶
Indeed. I will never give in David, the gilet will stay (even if I have to wear it under a jacket) 🤣
Great review Gary. The food looked excellent quality, but for the price!!! I agree with you on that. Lovely scenery all around and in the summer, would be spectacular. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Andreas. Definitely a place to go in the summer rather than the winter!
Cheap things seldom good, and good things seldom cheap. Glad you enjoyed some quality eats! 🎉
Yes! Thank you!
Hi Garry,I agree with you with it being pricey ‘but have you seen how much bloody McDonald’s charges these days ?? Like you pointed out I think quality first and leaves you far less disappointed than mass produced chain burger branches. Enjoy your food reviews,thank you 👍👍
Thanks Wayne. Completely agree with you mate.
Great Content! I've Subscribed. I'm living in France nowadays but I still find UK food reviews of interest. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!!
All of that looked lovely. Sometimes you don't mind paying those prices, when big places like Costa will charge over a 5er for 1 slice of ham and cheese in a crap bit of bread and toast it
Spot on.
Food looked delicious fair play., well done Jeremy.. thanks for sharing Gary ❤
More than welcome!
Don’t know why everyone puts down Jeremy it to me seems a great place best of luck on your farm
He's done a good job here.
Somehow just got this in my algorithm. Classic BBC presentation mixed with modern vlogging professional camera work and editing. Great show chap.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much Andy :)
Whilst they're sadly expensive compared to supermarkets, farms like this sell the very best produce in the UK and we are truly blessed as a country to have so many of them. Unless the farm is poorly managed and cared for, you can be sure of buying food that tastes like food. I wouldn't give JC any of my money and my patronage, but certainly would to more worthy farms.
Of course. The quality will be strikingly better!
Great to see you back reviewing quality food :-) We enjoyed our meal there last year. I think the prices are very much supply & demand. It's a bit of a tourist spot and you def pay for the privilege of being there and the chance of bumping into Jezza :-)
I totally agree! Thanks Steve 😊
I've been thinking of going to Diddly Squat Farm shop for sometime and to be fair, those cafe prices are exactly what I would expect to pay. If the quality was as good as you say it was and knowing that you're somewhere where lots of people want to go then so be it.
I sooner go to Gloucester services on the M5. Lots of choice and excellent quality produce.
Give it a go my friend!
That shot at 11:50 with the sun and the plane going by is stunning.
Thank you I’ll let the cameraman know 👍
Thanks for keeping us entertained, Gary
That is very kind and really appreciated thank you very much Nate
That looks so yummy not a bad price I think most places are very expensive now
Yes I agree!
£16.50 for a quality burger and chips is hardly unheard of these days. 5 Guy's probably isn't much cheaper.
Great video Gary, as before the price is irrelevant if its good quality and you enjoyed it. Your shout out is up on my channel and has received a good response. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
I will check it out my friend. Thank you for doing that, it's extremely kind of you!
Price can never be irrelevant.
Totally agree.
Yes it was a tad expensive but on first viewing, the food did look really good which was backed up by your comments. The fact that you didn't have to add any sauces etc to them says it all. Price wise I would have said was fair would be an Ayrton Senna for the burger & a Lady Godiva for the bacon & sausage rolls. (Can you tell we've been in London recently?). But what a view to look at as you eat that delicious fare ! We loved the Cotswolds too when we visited there - a delight ! A treat experience for sure Gary !
I can tell you’ve been in London recently Robert 🤣 without a doubt. A treat for sure!
That is a good good good review. I really hope Jeremy doesn't give up his farm. I think the farm will be his saving grace and to have a quality meal with that view in the middle of the farm is worth it. I sincerely wish Jeremy every success in the farm and food industry , especially when the quality of the plate is from that beautiful farm. Don't let it go. ❤
Thank you :)
@@GaryEats you are most welcome
I think what you have to take on board regarding the pricing of the food is that the it is all produced on the farm. The overheads involved in raising the animals, slaughtering them producing then and cooking them all while paying people to do the processes. It is especially expensive to produce animals in lower numbers. Having said that I'm unsure whether JC has started raisng his own pigs yet.
I did Martin. I think it's still a little bit pricy not nothing outlandish!
Actually only some of it is produced on the farm, much of it us sourced from neighbouring farms which helps the area in whole which is struggling.
the scope of Jeremy's genius literally has no boundaries
🤣👍🏼
I’ve watched all the series of Clarkson Farm, l found very entertaining as well as informative of farming today. Since I’ve lived in Spain for the last 23 years I’m completely out of touch with the price of fast type food in UK, all of it sounds horrendously expensive. However l agree with you about ‘ you get what you pay for’..quality always cost more no matter what it refers to…..Cheap always disappoints…..
You do Brian and I will say, the quality is excellent.
Seems slightly expensive but on the other hand it’s on par with street food market prices, good fair review 👍🏻
Fair enough! Thanks Thomas, all the best mate.
Great detailed, relatable review. Live too far away to try it myself but glad it lives up to expectations.
Thanks for watching!
Enjoying your reviews. I've been living in the USA for over 25yrs, from the UK, & honestly McDonald's isn't much cheaper these days. I'd happily pay $15 for a really fresh, locally sourced cheeseburger once in a while. Ty Gary 🙏🏼
I really appreciate that, thank you
Pretty expensive for a sausage in a bun in a field. The bar has no heating costs or extra staff for cleaning or waiting tables....I think a lot of people taking advantage of this so called cost of living crisis to bump up their prices.... cheeky.
id say if the food was taken to your table, not an issue going to bar to order, even chain pubs you order at bar and they bring to table. so my thought is it is pretty pricey but if even half table service so food taken to table when ready then id feel price is about right without basic i feel it is pricey for what you get, and expect to pay more its all local produced and good quality food, just add small bit service at least bring cooked food to you that should be a min
Fair comment my friend. Thanks for your kind comments and watching as always :)
Gary, Another excellent and honest review. The food all looked good and tasty. However, I totally agree with you regarding the pricing, far too expensive for eating outside on wooden benches and pallets. Some of the restaurants you choose to review, you can see that large amounts of cash have been spent on the decor, as well as the staff employed there. But on this occasion, you had to go and get your own food and clear away after yourself - basically it's a burger stand and no more. If they don't invest in outside gas heaters then I can't see them putting many bums on seats in the Winter months.
Thanks John. A very good and fair assessment.
The old adage” You get what you pay for “ comes to mind, but what price quality?
That bacon, beef burger and sausage looked amazing
Also the fries
Not sure about brioche bun, but another fantastic review
Thanks Gary
I agree with you, Barry a lot of quality but just that tiny bit expensive
Great Review. I spend almost 45 years in the Hospitality Industry at 1st Class Places in the US. 8 is perfect for the meal.
Thank you!
Everything, including the shop, looks expensive. Obviously because Clarkson is such a celebrity they think they can charge more….and they obviously seem to get away with it looking at the numbers there behind you. Great review as always……‘let’s give it a go!’👍 Also, it’s a shame locals and the council closed the restaurant, it must have employed local people, paid tax and brought other visitors into the area which would have benefited other shops/places. Typical jealous twits!!!
Totally agree and thank you Jeffrey!
While I haven't any problem with people like Clarkson and co running food businessess and the quality is stunning however these celebs are ripping us off on the backs of there status and that's a shame I'm sure the food could be cheaper and still make a profit
That's a fair assessment. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gary. Thanks for the reviews.
Perhaps you might consider putting the prices in the description for quick reference rather than having them hidden in random places in the video.
I can do that for future reference.
J.C. Has a 200 million pound reason to continue the series.
Lol
Looked really good.
Don't like the sweet rolls everyone seems to use these days though.
Sweet and salty/fatty work really well together to balance each other out I think
@@PotatoPirate123 Really? It seems I'm in a minority.
Never liked sweet and sour, putting fruit with meats, that sort of thing.
Ony exceptions I can think of is, Lime pickle, nice and spicy hot, or caramel ice cream,/ chocky bars with salt!
@@markhughes8314 I never liked the idea of brioche and burgers but I really like it now. Although I think it works better with hot dogs as they're particularly salty. I don't really eat brioche as a sweet bread in its own right though.
Last time I checked the sugar content is a bit lower in the burger buns than in, say, a brioche loaf. I think usually about 5g per bun (the equivalent of 32ml of Coke!) so it's not anything crazy considering how much sugar is in other, less conspicuous things like pasta sauces
Seems to be a popular opinion Mark. Thanks for watching!
@@GaryEats Cheers Gazza!
Your food all looks great, but definitely not worth the expensive prices
Think May's pub are higher prices. But you do have a building to pay for.
it is so much for 2 sausage or 3 bacon. you can get a really good sausage for that price.
The food maybe the best in the world, but not everyone can afford it. So if you can great if you can’t don’t look down on someone who can only afford a £5 burger and chips meal.
Fair enough!
@@DaleBaker-nz9fh I haven’t seen anyone ‘ looking down’ on people who cannot afford high prices on Gary Eats to be fair and I’ve been a regular on here for a couple of months now. At the other end of the spectrum I haven’t seen anybody deriding folk who can afford it with the usual boring and lazy responses of- ‘more money than sense’ or ‘ snobs’ either. It’s tiresome but thankfully doesn’t seem to happen on here. Whether it will as the channel gets bigger remains to be seen but I hope Gary keeps a lid on it because it’s a friendly little place.
I'm glad you enjoy it on here Margaret.
Been away from UK a number of years now, but in Malta, where avg wage is about €1100 pm, your avg burger is around €12, so considering the higher salary in UK, £12 for a burger doesn't sound bad. Cheers.
No problem.
I think everyone who goes there would be expecting to pay well, I know I would. I am very pleased to hear you say how well everything was cooked and the overall quality of the meat is something JC and the whole Team should be very proud of. Thanks for a great review
It was excellent quality so no reason to complain
Great review as always Gary - objective, fair and honest. Thanks for taking the time and expense to review places, it is appreciated.
I hope you make money from your channel, mate because you deserve to. 10/10
Thank you for your kind words
Hi Gary. We visited Diddly Squat just over a year ago. We didn't eat there (wish we had now) but did buy some sausages to cook at home (they were excellent). We ate at 'The Tite Inn' in Chadlington which had been booked in advance. Food was okay but I would rather have eaten like you as would probably have saved myself quite a wad of cash and enjoyed it more. Would love to see how you would rate it. Keep up the good work - you deserve to do well.
I can do that my friend. I love the Cotswolds so have no problem going back!
Another very solid review and I am catching up on a few of these after discovering your channel. It's very good for some interesting possible venues.
I totally agree with your marking and I particularly thought the burger was overpriced, £10 would have veered towards the quite expensive and £12.50 is just too much given the size of the burger. I am not a great fan of Jeremy Clarkson but did enjoy his Clarksons Farm series and in fact, he inspired me to start growing my own chilis at home, so much better and more satisfying than shop-bought ones.
How about some more food reviews of Thameside pubs particularly in the Rotherhithe area like The Mayflower, Prospect of Whitby or The Old Salt Quay, all produce some vary nice pub food with great views over the Thames. A real must in the Summer I feel.
Thank you. I've already reviewed the Mayflower and Prospect of Whitby in my earlier reviews. Check them out!
They all looked great, perhaps a bit too pricey, but I don't think people mind. Jeremy knows he has captive audience! Loved the scenery and thanks a lot for another fantastic review.
Looks ace! I’m actually pleasantly surprised Clarkson hasn’t been up his own arse and charged £10+ for a roll. Looking at the quality combined with the knowledge that all of the produce is sourced on site, plus he said the service was very quick, I honestly don’t think it’s too overpriced. And I’m a stingey buggar. 😂
Fair enough! The food was superb!
Not sure I will ever make it to the farm but my mouth is watering here. Have to say I would have "enhanced" the sausage and bacon with brown sauce and the burger with mustard. Just me.
Enjoyed the video greatly.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Food looked good ,but as you say overpriced, the Farm shop entices people to overspend as the goods are not seen in Supermarkets in such attractive settings, but it makes you want to spend. Patrick & Sheila.
Hi Patrick and Sheila. I agree with you 😊
Will be spending a few days up that way so a visit to the farm is a must, I don't mind those prices for a bit of a treat, to be fair a large cod & chips from the takeaway near us is over £12 now with an extra £4 for delivery if we're feeling lazy, and I'm happy to support the farm, I know Jeremy is getting a huge amount from Amazon for the show but most people his age who are well off would be considering retiring, whereas he seems to be working harder than ever, so good luck to him and the rest of the crew!
Give it a go!
Cracking content Gary. No matter where you go if the establishment is celebrity owned you are going to pay a premium. Whats an extra few pounds when you know its supporting local producers and suppliers. Take care. 🏴
Thanks Simon. Take care of yourself mate!
That's the whole point of the café and farm shop, it's to try and make some money back to keep the local farmers going. Farmers no longer get subsidies from the EU Post BREXIT. The food looks delicious, the fries look scrummy, just the way I like them AND you're supporting local farmers. It's a fair price.
Can’t watch this video without feeling very hungry. The food looks so good. Definitely want to visit someday
Thank you!! Please do
We recently binge watched Clarkson’s farm and took a trip to the shop earlier today as it was on the way back from Blenheim Palace. Literally drove straight in and out though with just a quick pic of the sign as they were queuing out the door! Got home and and lo & behold this popped up in my recommendeds Definitely will be tempted back to try the food at a quieter time of year as you made it all look so very tempting Gary- price to be expected for a celebrity place imho but pleased the food quality could somewhat/almost justify it. 👏👏🙏
I think the food was excellent quality Nigel, but a little pricey
£7 for a bacon buttie .. no egg?
That, my guy, is DEAR!
The food looked really nice and I know for a fact you'd have said if it wasn't up to scratch - sooo, I would have happily paid. It was never gonna be cheap, was it.
I like J.C. personally and I love farm shops, so thumbs up.
Great video once again, Gary.
As per usual! Pete 🏴
Thank you very much, Pete for your comment. It was a little pricey but excellent quality.
@GaryEats thanks G! Great to hear from you. Thanks for always replying. Kudos, my good man!
@GaryEats may I ask, do you prefer smoked bacon? I can't stand it myself, I do like the smell of it cooking though.
Yep, I know that sounds odd lol. Next time you're in the North West please let me know .. there's an unreal fish and chips place called Pisces that I think you would really be impressed with. My treat. It would be an honour. Best food reviews on the planet.
I actually prefer unsmoked like yourself and thank you
The old adage applies here, you don't charge what it's worth, you charge what people are prepared to pay.
Indeed. Thank you for watching!
I have to compliment your cameraman. He does excellent work and quite artistic, hard to do on the fly. I especially like the way he shows the food plates, starting slightly off frame and finishing full frame. That was a technique perfected and used in film schools demonstrated in the film "The Duelists". Great job.
That’s very kind to say thank you very much. I don’t know if you know but the camera man is my son. He also does the editing and he’s never been trained so that is a lovely comment. Thank you very much again.
Gary, I love your reviews, always non-judgemental. The burger looked great, everything fresh. My job is to teach English to non native English speakers. The other day some of them asked me if I'd heard of JC. They seemed to "get" him, and consequently English irony. Now all I have to do is explain what diddly squat actually means. keep up the good work.
Good luck with that, Jeanette I do think Jeremy is a great character. The food here was excellent quality but a little bit pricey.
Probably sourced locally as you are in the farming belt. Great made sausages and no water injected into the bacon, just pure bacon. 👍👍👍👍
Indeed!
For those prices I'd expect a Microwave on my table, so when I'd finished plugging Diddly, i could eat something that's actually hot. 😂
Lol!!
Great review Gary. Love your channel. I’m new here and throughly impressed. Keep it up.
That’s very kind to say, thank you, Mike
Honestly really happy how high quality everything was and is. It's expensive but the price feels justified. You'd pay the same for any other higher quality local produce. It's not just a marketing gimmick for the show. They are genuinely trying really hard. It's really good for the local economy cause it means people will most likely come back. I understand the fear of something like this cause if it was just a gimmick. It might actually damage the reputation of the community.
I was really happy to see it's a collaboration of the surrounding local farmers too. Honestly not something Jeremy had to do but definitely glad he did. Make it explicitly for the local community first.
I don't doubt that, the food was still good!!
So glad I found your channel. Fab work 😊
I'm so glad you found it as well. Always appreciate lovely comments :)
