The watering hole formerly known as The Windmill in Asthall was bought by the TV star last year for around £1,000,000.
Having renovated the spot and renamed it The Farmer’s Dog, the doors were opened to the public for the first time in August of 2024.
Since then, many famous faces have stopped by for a pint, including Status Quo drummer John Coghlan.

Now another famed musician has outlined his plans to stop by at the countryside pub near Burford in West Oxfordshire.
Legendary Slade guitarist Dave Hill is coming to the county next week to perform with the band at Oxford’s O2 Academy on Cowley Road.
Speaking exclusively to the Oxford Mail ahead of the gig, the 79-year-old chatted about one of Oxfordshire’s most famous residents.

Mr Hill said: “Jeremy, now there’s a guy! I bet he’s a Slade fan.”
“His humour is something else, I think we’d get along, and it would be a battle to see who gets the best jokes in.
“Jeremy Clarkson is very clever, and I obviously liked Top Gear with the crazy drives, and now it is so funny watching him buy massive tractors which look ridiculous for a simple job.

“Everybody knows it’s such a good watch because you’re laughing at it as he sort of acts like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he knows exactly what he’s doing.”
Speaking about a potential visit to The Farmer’s Dog, Mr Hill responded: “Depending on where I have to go after the gig, it could be a possibility that I stop by Jeremy’s pub, as that would be a nice thing to do.”
When asked if he would be grabbing a pint of Mr Clarkson’s Hawkstone lager during the visit, Mr Hill admitted he isn’t a fan of beer and prefers wine.
“I’m afraid he wouldn’t get that side of me because I hate beer, but I do like wine,” he said.
You can catch Dave Hill’s Slade on Tuesday (December 16) at the O2 Academy in Oxford.
