“For now, exciting news – February bookings are now OPEN for dinner and Sunday Carvery only…
“Reminder – Monday evenings are now open for some relaxed evening drinking and sausage roll eating… Are you a local club wanting a space to get together? Just get in touch…
“More to come soon… This is just the beginning… 2025 is full of things to look forward to… What are you most wanting to see from us here?”
Fans rushed to social media to share their excitement about the news, as one said: “Great call on the lunchtime bookings.”
Another agreed: “We had lunch there this week and I was excellent. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured to leave the table at all,” and a third asked: “When will lunch time bookings for Feb be open please?”

Other fans shared complaints, as one said: “I’m very keen to book but allowing only 1 hour for a table of four for Sunday lunch feels too tight considering you have to order and may want to eat multiple courses. Hopefully you will look to relax this constraint in the future.”
A second agreed: “Shame you only have a hour to have your lunch it would be nice to have a bit more.”
The announcement comes after Clarkson admitted his pub has faced a “total disaster”, saying in his Times column:””Behind the scenes, then, everything is a total disaster. But the fact is that when you go there you just wouldn’t know.”
