Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed plans to open a Cotswolds pub using "all British ingredients" despite the closure of his restaurant.
The former Top Gear star faced a battle with the local council over his Diddly Squat restaurant and his application to open it was denied in 2021.
The 64-year-old believed a loophole meant he could open a pizza cafe the following year, but unfortunately he was issued an enforcement order.
However, the determined presenter hasn't given up on expanding his successful Cotswolds farm and has reportedly bought a pub.
It's thought he paid "less than a million" for a country pub called The Windmill in Burford, Oxfordshire.
The Daily Mail reports the pub will serve food made with "British ingredients" and will include bar games and a ban on noisy TVs.

The publication went on to say a wedding reception has been booked in at the venue for "a couple of weeks' time".
Writing for The Sunday Times, Clarkson stated: "I just needed the pub where this could all happen. And then, after I’d looked [at] about 14,000, I found just the place."
The TV personality has extended his fan base by swapping cars for cows when he launched his hit Amazon Prime series, Clarkson's Farm.
The show is set to go ahead with series four soon, with the team having filmed the series earlier this year. Clarkson has admitted he "knows" when he'll end Clarkson's Farm, with viewers excited for more updates on Diddly Squat.

Fans are also already making demands for the new instalments, with many begging for the Grand Tour star to make more than four episodes in the new series.
Unfortunately, Clarkson has yet to announce that such a change is being made, so it seems viewers should probably expect the show to stick to its usual format.
While fans love getting an insight into the struggles and joys of farming, they also tune in to watch Clarkson's comedic friendships with the likes of Kaleb Cooper.
The two share a jokey relationship, with Clarkson recently shutting the 25-year-old down on social media.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
It came last month when the show host and journalist took to social media to celebrate girlfriend Lisa Hogan, 51, on her birthday.
Co-star cooper quickly responded to Instagram post - snap of Hogan smiling in a grey top hat, with Clarkson's caption reading: "Birthday girl."
Cooper soon penned: "Now the question is did Lisa like my singing this morning happy birthday," along with a laughing emoji. In typical Clarkson fashion, he responded with a blunt: "No," before Hogan herself interjected.
After her partner shut Caleb down, she replied: "adored all perfectly sung first five words," before adding: "I really did, t'was perfection."
