A
notable
place
to
visit,
but
festival
food
prices
leave
a
synical
taste.
Exit
through
the
gift
shop...
Stopped
for
food
and
a
drink,
spent
just
over
£20
per
person
for
burger
(£12)
and
fries
(not
included
-
£4)
plus
a
pint
(£6
I
think).
The
2.5%
elderflower
shandy
was
enjoyable,
crisp
and
refreshing,
interesting
overall
-
important
as
this
place
is
a
little
destination
for
driving
enthusiasts.
The
Cotswold
social
set
are
in
good
supply
too
-
a
pedigree
dog
and
a
Chelsea
tractor
work
well
here.
Makes
for
an
interesting
crowd
overall,
probably
-
most
importantly
-
a
crowd
that'll
pay
the
maxed
out
prices
without
too
much
regret.
Some
ingredients
are
presented
as
being
local/British/rare
-
whatever
adds
value
and
a
sense
of
quality.
But...
The
burger
didn't
taste
bad,
but
was
quite
greasy
(sorry
-
'juicy')
and
dripped
sauce
everywhere,
endlessly.
If
there's
something
supposed
to
be
heart
warmingly
retro-British
about
it
(and
the
place
in
general)
-
as
if
we
were
scoffing
a
burger
out
the
back
of
a
van
on
a
Saturday
night,
or
at
a
Sunday
market,
or
race
track
somewhere,
it
should
have
cost
£2.50
for
the
old-times-sake
vibe
being
channeled
here.
These
days
£6
would
have
led
to
me
buying
another
(they're
not
that
big).
At
£12
you're
being
taxed
for
something
related
to
having
a
consumer
brain
that
perceives
value
either
because
a)
you're
there
because
you
like
Clarkson,
or
b)
you
seem
to
be
getting
quality
ingredients
(which
you
may
well
be).
Similarly,
the
fries
-
which
are
nice
-
at
£4
are
just
taking
advantage.
Poor
ole
farmer?
There
was
some
music
playing
which
added
some
atmos,
but
with
the
cold
and
wet
settling
in
you're
best
to
wrap
up
very
warm,
and
wear
some
wellies
-
all
seating
is
outside
and
it
is
quite
muddy
in
places
-
being
a
real
farm...
obviously.
The
place
does
have
a
somewhat
bleak
outlook,
it's
a
surplus
out-building
and
cattle
shed
on
the
edge
of
a
farm,
atop
a
hill.
Having
mother
more
profitable
use,
it's
been
converted
into
a
reasonably
authentic
visitors,
centre
for
those
hoping
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
Jeremy
on
his
tractor,
or
something
British.
There
is
a
sort
of
building
nearby
where
he
might
be,
having
a
traditional
Sunday
lunch.
Guessing
if
he'll
turn
up
and
is
a
fun
mental
game
to
play
while
trying
to
get
burger
sauce
off
your
hands.
The
place
is
interesting
though,
and
emphasises
it's
green
credentials.
They
have
recycled
materials,
reusable
cups
(you
can
buy),
bins
for
things,
and
big
signs
about
using
the
bins
-
written
in
chalk
because
it's
authentic,
friendly,
and
not
at
all
corporate
or
trying
to
make
as
much
money
off
you
as
possible.
Other
than
eating,
the
best
thing
to
do
is
queue
up
to
go
through
the
gift
shop.
Everyone
does
it
for
some
reason.
Everything
is
quite
expensive
there
too.
Mug's
game
to
be
honest,
but
go
there
anyway.
