Kaleb Cooper addresses common misconception about Jeremy Clarkson's new pub
Since it opened plenty of people have made the journey to Jeremy Clarkson's new pub, The Farmer's Dog.
Of course not everybody is allowed in as Clarkson barred the prime minister Sir Keir Starmer and his Grand Tour colleague James May from entering, and then barred a third person for complaining that there was no Tabasco in the Bloody Mary.
That's because Tabasco is not British and Clarkson has set himself the challenge of only making do with British ingredients.

There's no Coca-Cola, tomato ketchup or coffee served at The Farmer's Dog, and not being able to import food and drink has led to some people being not best pleased about the prices at the pub.
Having spent a lot of money on setting up the pub, Clarkson has said he reckons he's losing about £10 on each customer as the cost of putting together the food and drink on offer is sometimes more than what they're charging for it.
While James May might be barred from The Farmer's Dog, the cast and crew of Clarkson's Farm are likely to be more than welcome at the pub.
Kaleb Cooper has even been on doorman duty for the upstairs bar at The Farmer's Dog, where only farmers are allowed to go.
Apparently when it comes to being able to know who is a farmer and who isn't 'you just can', but Clarkson admitted he was almost duped by one person.
Finding the punter's shoes to be suspicious, Clarkson asked him what glyphosate was and the bloke correctly answered that it was weedkiller.
However, Cooper was still suspicious and asked him how many acres there were in a hectare, and when the man said 12 he was ordered to leave.
Despite performing this vital duty, Cooper has said that mate's rates are very much not in place at The Farmer's Dog.
He told The Sun that he didn't get a discount and wouldn't want one either.
"I don't want a discount, I'd rather pay for everything to be honest," Cooper said.
Charlie Ireland added that nobody, 'not even Jeremy', gets a discount at The Farmer's Dog.
According to Cooper, if 'anything's got to make money, you've got to pay the right price', and given that Clarkson has been candid about how much this endeavour is costing him it's only fair.
If you ever find yourself in The Farmer's Dog it'll be £5.50 for a session lager of Clarkson's Hawkstone beer, and £6 if you want the IPA, their premium or one of their ciders.
Just don't expect a discount, it's costing them enough as it is.
