James May reveals he doesn't serve Jeremy Clarkson's beer at his pub

Transcript

00:00Does it sell Clarkson's booze?

00:02No.

00:02Great! You meant better!

00:04It has become profitable.

00:06Has it? Well done!

00:08I mean, the margins are small,

00:10but I think the expression in business is

00:12wipe its own face.

00:14Your local pub was basically going to close down,

00:16so you and your mate bought it

00:18so that you would have a pub to go to.

00:20It was a selfless act of charity.

00:22I like it.

00:23I mean, it wasn't necessarily going to close down,

00:24but there was a threat of redevelopment

00:26and they

00:28didn't have any other obvious buyers.

00:30I soon found out why.

00:32I did worry that life in the countryside

00:36would be meaningless if there wasn't a pub

00:38within walking distance.

00:39Does it sell James May Gin?

00:40Oh, it does.

00:41Oh, I love it!

00:42Does it sell Clarkson's booze?

00:45No.

00:46Great! You meant better!

00:47Has Jeremy invited you to his festival

00:50that he's hosting next year called Farm Fest?

00:52Is he having a festival?

00:53Apparently so, but not on his farm.

00:55Isn't that like having a party in someone else's house?

00:57Well...

00:58Everybody come round to Chris's house,

01:00I'm having a party.
