Jeremy Clarkson is looking to open a second pub outside the United Kingdom.

Jeremy Clarkson is looking to open a second pub, but has said it will not be in the United Kingdom. Speaking at the Conservative Party Conference, the 66-year-old presenter said he is 'looking quite hard' at the possibility, but questioned why anyone would set up a business in the country right now.

Clarkson already owns The Farmer's Dog in Asthall, Oxfordshire. He purchased The Windmill for around £1,000,000, refurbished it and opened it under its new name in August 2024. The pub has proved popular with tourists and locals, and has also featured in his Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm.

The prospect of a second venue comes after former racing driver David Coulthard offered Clarkson his own pub for free. Coulthard said he bought The Brown Dog in Barnes, south-west London, but could not make it work financially. He told broadcaster Jodie Kidd in an interview that he approached Clarkson offering him the pub as a gift.
