Jeremy Clarkson teams up with major UK burger chain
The 66-year-old Clarkson’s Farm star lives on his 1,000 acre farm between Chipping Norton and Chadlington in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds.
Mr Clarkson has owned the spot since 2008, and Kaleb Cooper is his farmhand, with the pair running the day-to-day life on the farm.
There have been four series of the show so far with a fifth to debut on June 2.

But just before that Mr Clarkson and Mr Cooper will headline a brand-new national celebration of Britain’s farmers, their craft and their way of life, at the historic home of the Royal Show, Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
The Great British Farm-Fest will bring together farmers, food lovers, families and festival goers for three unforgettable days of live music, working displays, livestock, machinery and mouth-watering food.
Joining the duo are Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland, Adam Henson and Matt Tebbutt, alongside dozens of farmers, musicians, chefs and rural artisans from across the UK.
Beefy Boys, which has opened a branch in Oxford’s Westgate shopping centre, will also be appearing at the festival.
Co-founder Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy recently joined the pair to be briefed on the upcoming festival where the Beefy Boys will serve their award-winning burgers.
“The whole Clarkson’s Farm team were great, everyone was very lovely and generous with their time,” Mr Murf told our sister paper the Hereford Times.
“We chatted burgers, BBQ, farming, his upcoming children’s book, and what life is like at Diddly Squat.
“He was a lovely bloke and we had a real good laugh with him on stage. ”
