Jeremy Clarkson’s The Farmer’s Dog in Burford has been named a finalist in The Cotswolds Awards for 2026.
The nomination places the pub in the Best Sunday Lunch in the Cotswolds category.
Clarkson acquired and renovated the former Windmill pub before it reopened under The Farmer’s Dog name in August 2024.
The project is connected to his wider farming enterprise, which has been featured in Clarkson’s Farm.
Since opening, the establishment has attracted fans of the Amazon series and visitors to the Cotswolds.
Reviews have highlighted the quality of its traditional Sunday roast.
The category also includes several other hospitality businesses.
The Chequers in Churchill combines the character of a traditional Cotswold inn with higher-end dining, while the Royal Oak in Ramsden, close to Chipping Norton, is a county pub with a strong customer following.
The Swan in Ascott-under-Wychwood, which operates as both a pub and a hotel, has also developed into a popular dining destination in the region.
These finalists form part of the Taste of the Cotswolds Awards, within the wider Cotswolds Awards programme.
Since 2015, the awards have recognised food and drink businesses, including restaurants, pubs, cafés, producers and hospitality companies across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and other parts of the Cotswolds.
Several Oxfordshire businesses have also secured nominations in categories covering the region’s food, drink and hospitality sector.
Blake’s Kitchen in Clanfield appears in the Best Breakfast, Best Brunch and Best Café categories, while The Edge Eatery in Witney has been shortlisted for Best Brunch.
