Jeremy Clarkson has reportedly banned three ordinary items from his pub, The Farmer’s Dog, in the Cotswolds.
The former Top Gear host, 64, is believed to have prohibited customers from drinking coffee or lemonade and from having ketchup with their meals.
A Birmingham Live reporter made the surprising revelation while visiting the Oxfordshire pub – which Clarkson opened last August – for a Sunday roast.
“You can’t have coffee, ketchup or lemonade – there’s a sign outside the pub explaining they don’t serve coffee or ketchup,” they told the outlet.
“The people at the table next to us asked for a latte but were politely refused. I also asked for a cider shandy when we arrived but staff explained they don’t sell lemonade.”

It was also revealed they booked a month in advance to have the Sunday roast and were given a strict time limit of one hour.
“We were advised that we could have a table from 12-1pm, which seemed a bit rushed but with hindsight, it was plenty of time and felt relaxed,” they wrote.
The reporter said their Sunday roast and pudding cost £32.50 and claimed “service was friendly, it was busy, but not overcrowded”.
Clarkson bought the pub, formerly known as The Windmill, last year and has attracted a slew of famous customers.
Last month, the Clarkson’s Farm star revealed US comedian Ellen DeGeneres has visited the joint since relocating to the Cotswolds.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show host, 66, fled the US after Donald Trump was elected President. She moved to an Oxfordshire village with her wife, Portia de Rossi, 51, in November.

Clarkson praised the star, saying she was “very friendly” and “lovely” to the staff at his pub.
“She lives in the village where our pub is. Absolutely I welcome them all,” he told The Mirror.
“Everyone said she has been cancelled but she seemed nice when she came to the pub, the staff said she was very friendly and lovely. I am not going to believe what I read online. She seemed lovely.”
Clarkson previously admitted his pub “is a total disaster” due to theft, high parking charges and toilet mishaps.
He revealed in his Times column in December that he is forced to spend £27,000 a month on parking and traffic marshals “to keep the council off our back”.
