Television personality Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his desire to prohibit patrons with dietary intolerances from entering his establishment. The 64 year old former Top Gear presenter - who has achieved tremendous success with Clarkson's Farm - described operating a public house as 'hell'. The Who Wants to be a Millionaire? presenter - who launched The Farmer's Dog pub close to his 1,000-acre estate Diddly Squat - last year, claimed patrons with dietary restrictions were 'a pain'.
He declared that managing a pub was 'harder than farming', revealing one lady recently attempted to assert that she had been 'poisoned' by his beer, reportsDaily Star.
He stated that 'food intolerance enthusiasts' were challenging to handle. He continued: "We had one the other day who said she'd been given beer instead of cider and the gluten in it had made her so ill she'd had to cancel her holiday and we now had to reimburse her.
"Happily, we have her on CCTV not drinking beer, so we are safe on that one. But often landlords aren't so lucky. Many tell me this food intolerance fraud is now an epidemic.
"And even when it isn't fraudulent, it's still annoying. These faddy eaters demand that the kitchen staff jump through hoops to ensure they will not be served anything that might upset them.
"And then they have an ice cream for pudding, saying 'Oh well, a little bit of dairy won't hurt'."
Divisive broadcaster Jeremy declared: "I'm seriously thinking of banning people with food intolerances.
"I know it would be commercial suicide but they are just so annoying."
Speaking about his team, he had nothing but praise for those working under him.
He continued to describe all staff members as 'brilliant', adding: "Their ability to keep smiling when someone has just announced they're allergic to oxygen genuinely beggars belief and I love them all."
The most common food intolerances include gluten, lactose, fructose, alcohol, caffeine, crustaceans, sulphites, fish, nuts, and mustard.
