Jeremy Clarkson outlines his apocalypse survival strategy

Jeremy Clarkson says he would weather an apocalypse in his brewery rather than relying on stockpiled food.

Jeremy Clarkson has outlined his approach to surviving an apocalypse, saying he would retreat to his brewery with luxury provisions rather than stockpile basic supplies. Writing in his column for The Sun, the former Top Gear presenter questioned the wisdom of food stockpiling after learning of preparations reportedly made by former Downing Street speechwriter Clare Foges, who stored tinned food in her garden shed following advice about preparing for extreme weather events.

Clarkson expressed scepticism about the strategy. He wrote: 'What exactly does she think is going to happen when her neighbours, who didn't prepare and are getting desperate, decide to help themselves to her supplies?'

Instead, the 66-year-old described his own plan: 'If things do get ugly, I won't be in a shed with some seeds, nuts and probiotic supplements. I will be in my brewery with a hamper from Fortnum's and a big, daft grin on my face.'

Clarkson owns Hawkstone, a beer and cider brand produced in the Cotswolds. Since ending his involvement with Top Gear and The Grand Tour, he has increasingly focused on farming and his businesses in Oxfordshire, with his efforts at Diddly Squat Farm documented in the Amazon Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm.
