Jeremy, 64, has been vocal in recent weeks about his struggles to turn a profit from his Cotswolds pub, The Farmer’s Dog.
He revealed that last week alone, 104 pint glasses “went missing” from his establishment, making it harder for the pub to turn a profit.
“People seem to have it in their heads that if they come in for a pint they are entitled to go home with the glass in which it was served,” the former Top Gear presenter said.
“Last Sunday 104 [pint glasses] went missing. And that cost must be added to the £100 a day we spend on fuel for the generator, the £400 a week it costs to provide warmth on the terrace and the £27,000 a month we must spend on parking and traffic marshals to keep the council off our back.”
Don’t miss…

To dissuade punters from stealing his pint glasses, with his face on them and the words: “Jeremy is watching…don’t steal his pint glasses!”
The Grand Tour host recently opened up about the “horror” scenes in the pub toilets, saying: “No amount of festival visits would prepare you for the horror of what had been produced at the Farmer’s Dog.”
Jeremy also revealed the challenges he faces running his gastropub, including a plumbing nightmare that required a specialist hazmat team to resolve.
He declared: “It was everywhere and in such vast quantities that no ordinary plumbing or cleaning equipment would even scratch the surface. So a whole team of chemically trained hazmat engineers had to be employed. That’s a cost I’d never factored into any of my business plans.”
