Jeremy Clarkson offered pub for FREE by F1 legend - but there's a catch

Jeremy Clarkson offered pub for FREE by F1 legend - but there's a catch Jeremy Clarkson has been a regular on our TV screens for decades, and the former Top Gear presenter was offered a pub for free by F1 legend David Coulthard Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has revealed that he offered Jeremy Clarkson the chance to own his pub for free. However, Coulthard did have one condition for the former Top Gear presenter, who is seeing his farming show continue to rise in popularity. Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime has recently seen season five be released, with the former Grand Tour host‘s latest business venture regularly featured. Clarkson already owns a pub in Oxfordshire, The Farmer’s Dog, which opened in August 2024, and it seems that the 66-year-old had another opportunity to have another business venture. Coulthard, who was an F1 driver for McLaren in the 1990s and 2000s, has spoken about the decision to own a pub in London. The 55-year-old went on to reveal that he offered the establishment, The Brown Dog, situated in south-west London, to Clarkson at no cost whatsoever, but with a single condition. In a drive-along interview with Jodie Kidd on YouTube, Coulthard said: "I bought a pub in Barnes which just didn't work. It was The Brown Dog, and we couldn't make it work." The former F1 driver added: "I actually offered it to Jeremy Clarkson. I said, 'Jeremy, I'll give you the pub. "It's yours, title deeds, but if and when you make money, you start cutting us in.'" Coulthard went on to reveal that Clarkson declined his offer to take ownership of the pub. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

Clarkson co-hosted The Grand Tour on Amazon alongside Richard Hammond and James May until 2024, when the trio chose to walk away from the hugely popular show. Since stepping back from his role hosting the motoring adventure programme, Clarkson has become a familiar face on his Amazon farming series, Clarkson's Farm, which follows life at his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
