Jeremy Clarkson’s pub The Farmer’s Dog has been forced to close part of its services due to extreme temperatures in an unprecedented heatwave.

Hundreds of schools have been forced to close across the country following rare red weather warnings.

The hot conditions have also impacted tube networks and pose a serious threat to people’s health.

However, for Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy, the heat has meant that part of his pub has had to close.

Taking to social media, the X account for Farmer’s Dog Pub shared the news that their butcher’s counter will be closed for today ‘and potentially for the remainder of the week’.

‘It turns out that when Britain reaches temperatures normally associated with southern Spain, certain things stop working properly,’ the social media account said.

‘As a result, Chops (our butcher’s counter) will be closed today and potentially for the remainder of the week.

‘The combination of extreme heat, refrigeration units and a giant tent has proved challenging. We’re working on solutions and will reopen as soon as it’s sensible to do so.

‘Don’t worry, our famous sausage rolls will still be available from the garden bars and pub bar.’

The statement went on to address people bringing dogs to the pub.

‘Finally, a word on dogs,’ it added.

‘We love them. The clue is in the name. Normally they’re always welcome.

‘But with very little shade on site and temperatures nudging towards 35°C and beyond, today might be a good day for them to stay somewhere cool and comfortable instead. Thank you for your understanding.’

This comes after Jeremy revealed on Sunday that he is officially in remission after sharing his cancer diagnosis.

Last week, in the final episodes of Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime, it was revealed that he had been diagnosed with ‘aggressive’ prostate cancer.

When he shared the diagnosis in the episodes he confirmed that it had been caught early, and he had undergone surgery to remove part of his prostate.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, the TV star declared himself ‘the world’s luckiest man’ after a follow-up test two months ago showed no indication of cancer.

He added: ‘It was an aggressive type of cancer. It could have spread, it could have gone into the pancreas, it could have gone anywhere, and that would have been trouble.

‘This is why I have to say to everybody who’s reading this, please, please, please go and get checked. It’s not uncomfortable, it’s not undignified. And it’s a no-brainer.

‘I did, and that’s why I’m sitting here talking to you 11 months down the line. I’ve seen so many people die of cancer. It doesn’t bear thinking about what it must be like to live knowing that an illness is going to kill you.’
