Jeremy Clarkson joked that punters should quit complaining about his menu as he banned a third person from his pub.

The Top Gear and Grand Tour star opened his pub The Farmer's Dog over the August Bank Holiday weekend, after buying the property in Burford village, Oxfordshire for less than £1 million. And in a joke that has tickled fans, he has already made up a list of people he doesn't want to see walk through his doors, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

He has now popped a third person on the barred list after she whinged about a drink, and teased on Instagram: "Don’t moan about there being no ketchup, lemons or anything else that isn’t British farmed... or else!"

Prime Minister Keir Starmer was the first person to be barred from Clarkson's new establishment. The broadcaster said on Times Radio: "He’s banned. He’s the first person on the board in the hall to be banned.”

When he was quizzed about why, he played his cards close to his chest and said only: “He hasn’t done much to endear himself to me yet.”

Clarkson has been critical of Labour in the past, and in the run up to the General Election admitted he would prefer to vote for his dog to lead the country. "I get, of course, that people are fed up with the Tories, but I’d rather vote for my dog than Sir Starmer’s merry bunch of ideological nincompoops," he wrote in his column in The Sun.

Clarkson has also banned his pal James May from the watering hole, in what is likely to be some sort of in joke between the pair as they are good friends.

The TV stars have been close for many years, having worked together for more than two decades on programmes including Top Gear and The Grand Tour.

The Grand Tour is coming to an end, and Clarkson recently told The Sunday Times of ending the stars' long run together: "After 36 years of talking about cars on television, I’m packing it in, because I’m too old and fat to get into the cars that I like and not interested in driving those I don’t. What this means of course is that my 22-year partnership with James May and Richard Hammond is now over."

He said their final road trip together was "emotional".

Clarkson recently shared a video on Instagram that showed him adding a third name to the list of banned punters he has pinned to the wall in the pub.

"Jeremy, what's happening here?" asked the man apparently filming the hilarious moment.

"I am banning your daughter," Clarkson said as he wrote "Maddy Hornby" underneath May and Starmer's names. "Why is she banned?" the man is heard asking.

The star - who said on the pub's website that he's tried to make sure as much as possible in the pub was grown or reared by British farmers - replied that it was to do with her comment about her drink. "She moaned after not being able to have Tabasco in her Bloody Mary," he explained. "So she's banned."

People were heard laughing, as the man filming said: "Keir Starmer, James May, Maddy Hornby - you are all banned."

It isn't just people banned from Clarkson's pub - he has previously made it clear that there are some other things that don't fit his vision for his boozer.

On the pub's website, he emphasises how he is backing home-grown produce, saying: "I have tried my absolute hardest to make sure that every single thing you consume in The Farmer’s Dog was grown or reared by British farmers."

Plus he has ruled out noisy televisions and fruit machines. And he has said confusing toilet signs have no place at The Farmer's Dog.
