A well-known Australian actress and a prominent far-right political figure from Australia were observed enjoying Hawkstone beer at Jeremy Clarkson’s rural pub in the Cotswolds.
The Farmer’s Dog establishment is situated in Asthall, close to Burford, and is just a short journey from Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington.
Clarkson launched the venue in August 2024, presenting it as a traditional country pub offering food and beverages branded with Hawkstone.
The pub serves Hawkstone lager and cider, both produced using barley cultivated on Clarkson’s own farm, alongside standard pub fare.
On 7 July 2026, Holly Valance posted on Twitter about the visit, including images from the day.
This week, the Australian actress Holly Valance and Australian senator Pauline Hanson were captured on camera together at The Farmer’s Dog.
The two individuals were photographed consuming pints of Hawkstone during warm summer weather in the Cotswolds region.
Valance posted about the outing on social media, describing it as an enjoyable experience of having a drink with a friend at a pub on a hot day.
Hanson also shared photographs from their meeting, noting that she had made time during her trip to England specifically to see Valance face to face.
Valance has gained fame through her portrayal of a character in the Australian television series Neighbours, as a recording artist, and through her performance in the 2008 Hollywood film Taken.
Lately, she has drawn attention for publicly backing conservative causes and individuals.
Hanson serves as the leader of Australia’s far-right One Nation political party and has been dedicating her time in Britain to political discussions and interviews with journalists.
