Drone photos show a massive brand new beer garden outside Jeremy Clarkson's £1million pub - and it looks like it may be opening soon.

Clarkson, 64, bought The Windmill and five acres of countryside near the village of Burford in Oxfordshire.

The dilapidated wedding venue is set to be transformed by the Grand Tour host, complete with a new name and new decking in the beer garden.

Tables and chairs have now been placed outside ready for punters to enjoy a pint in the sun suggesting it may be opening soon.

Clarkson previously said: "There is some work to be done on the pub itself as the cellar is too small, the gable end is falling down, the outside decking area is dangerous, the water is unfit for human consumption, the loft is full of dead rats and the lavatories are illegal."

And new drone photos show the previously "dangerous" decking has been replaced with new wood and is around double the size.

Clarkson set out intentions to ban “noisy TVs”, encourage traditional pub games, serve only British produce, and hand out a free pint of Hawkstone to farmers. 

The pub was previously not expected to open until later this year to allow time for refurbishments and a wedding booked before the purchase to take place.  

Villagers have enthusiastically backed Jeremy Clarkson’s plans to renovate the pub despite fears over increased traffic. 

The disruption caused by Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop in Chadlington has attracted some criticism from neighbours. 

But the inhabitants of nearby Asthall have so far given Clarkson’s big plans the benefit of the doubt.

Tom Walker, 51, who farms livestock and arable, was confident Clarkson’s arrival would buoy the local farming community. 

“He’s already spoken to some of the farmers and talked about using their produce,” Tom said, adding: “I think he does a lot of good for farming.”

Tom, who runs the farm with his cousin John, had reservations about the influx of people. 

He said: “I am worried about the traffic - they will hopefully come off the main road. I think it will do more good than harm.”

Neighbour Derek Netherton, 79, who rents out an Airbnb in the village, was also optimistic about The Windmill’s new owner. 

He said: “We are excited for the extra custom, but we’re apprehensive about the noise. 

“With a bit of luck the traffic will stay on the A40, as the roads are very narrow.”
