You may have heard in recent weeks that James May has bought half a pub. Although it's still having finishing touches added to it ahead of its opening next week, James kindly offered to give us a sneak peek at what's to come.
Sorry in advance for the audio, James was wearing a very scratchy jumper.

Call it royal
Added to 'places to go once it's safe'.
I guess we'll see if May's "star power" is enough to bring folks from all over the internets and make this a profitable endeavour.
The ridiculously high VAT on pub beer compared to supermarket beer is indicative of the shortsightedness of UK politics over the last 20 years.
Instead of Loos I'd go for a classy European vibe like 'Les Pissoir'
The Piston and Bores
An interpreter for the bar because Chris comes from Yorkshire.... that's hilarious... and cold...
Nice to see the former Top Gear 'boys' are finally 'moving on'.
Dunny
I bought a pint of milk today, so what, stop showing off, the world doesnt revolve around you, get over it.
Funky loose..
I know i don't Drink any alcohol but i still want to visit this Pub.
Loos Garden! What's the matter with having a garden named Loos? In any case, he could always call it the Bog Garden!
Really aweful, just what the countryside needs another London wine bar, Absolutly dreadful.
"Piston Room" or "Royal Flush"
Call it the toilets
Call the loo "The Jeremy Clarkson"(s)
Banyo garden should be the name of the restroom banyo is loo in filipino
Bog roll cemetery
So does James owns a Audemars Piguet now? xD
Gordon’s garden
James may: There is no worse time to buy a pub also, this pub didn’t make a profit in over a year Also james: I think I might buy that
Ye Olde PeePoo
Looks like a pub only wankers would enter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,who think they are funny................
Get a decent chef that can add up - the cooking bit is easy ! After 25 years in the industry that’s the downfall of most pubs ! Bad maths and chefs that don’t listen to the punters !!
I have a totally obnoxious co-worker who´s family name is "Loos". So please, pleas: change the name.
Bit of the wrong year to buy a pub I would have thought, even for a millionaire prat like May.
"new Manager...highly recommended by some people who are trying to get rid of him". :D
Magic Garden
I’m there.
Well done James, better than investing in stocks.
Sool garden
How about. ‘Council Gritter’ for loos?
I have bad news for James; this is not a "pub".

do u need a grumpy sheff?
Its now closed
Loos Garden should be Sundero garden
His delivery is just like Clarkson's. Same tone, same timbre, same inflections and same mannerisms. I feel sorry for him.
This is Sooo boring and I love it lol
james, the person who always mentions and talks about pubs, is well deserved to get a pub for his own
The bogs
Fake virus fake pubs the fake cure is worse than the fake disease
Name it The Garden, brought to you by Ace Biscuits
WC or water closets
Wine... At a pub... No
The sign question : Ladies and gentlemen...
You have to call the toilets the throne room ffs!
That's the pub I want to go
In America also. The bars are dead, even before COVID19. Modern, old, does not matter. Well,, for one thing, meeting people has gone out of the bar and into social websites. People would rather gather at homes or simply drink alone in front of their massive flat screens. You say you go to bars for the drinks? Why pay for outrageously priced liquor? The same brand can be bought at the market for much much cheaper. The younger generation just turning 21 isn't into bars. Jeremy, what will you do with that pub? Even if it launches well, your customer base will rapidly die off from old age. (Me? I worked and ran businesses since I was a young kid, legally too young to work.)
Loos --> Dumping Quarters
He looks like a fool but Nice guy with millions of money
those seats look so uncomfortable.
I bought a pub and they introduced the smoking ban killed it I lost a considerable amount of money, my life savings. It's the council tax and VAT that kills pubs now. I wish you every bit of luck but your opening statements said it all.
Why are there people not wearing masks?
Easy, new sign. BOGS, W.C or Toilets......or Restrooms(for the US folks)
Brilliant......when all the C19 political scam comes to an end.......James will have pulled it off...you see
Toilets
4 U 2 P
The pub inspectors, The Royal Oak calling soon, closing down, due to a unfit establishment.!
Change the loos garden to The Clarkson Room
0:34 is that a Tesla?? no petrol car?
May, are you also in training to be a ninja??? Looks that way from your silly mask.
Be like a ghost pub at moment wouldnt it , dont let hammond in there ok
i'm jeremy clarkson and i approve this messege!
shame no Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond
Yet another poncy, sterile pub for townies. Great. Not. Go back to London you pillock.
Hope it can stay the course w on again off again lockdowns and levels. I think I might exploit some of my motoring/travel/inventiveness somewhere in the pub . And textile... hard seats are not amenable to long drinks... looks pristine ..:)
Love ya man...best of luck and as always, YOU ROCK !!! Cheer's, H.L.
Why is Johnny out of breath and panting???
Longdrops
The Bogs
If I had his money I'd just b a place in Spain by the sea and chill out.
Make sure there's plenty of steak.
This is the only pub I have ever seen with a really nice name
Did you get a Covid discount?
Hope the walls get painted. Don't want to be sitting in a pub with white walls like I'm in a mental asylum or waiting for a hospital diagnosis... Where's the wooden panels or bricks?
Maybe an excellent venue for a car program!
Maybe an excellent venue for a car program!
Brilliant jameo
4U2P on the toilet door.... OFAH anyone?
10,000 gone in a decade, it's intentional, no other explanation, the elites don't want mature adults speaking non pc unfiltered truths to each other, they want you at home getting conditioned by their propaganda and they can't restrict freedom of assembly without a pretext like a pandemic or something...oh ..wait, hence cheap supermarket ale and ludicrous running costs pricing locals out of business unless they are family friendly chain pubs
Rename it "The James Hangs Well" - instant success
Throne garden
Bogs
How could you not feature the pupper?? Love the place, it's really nice looking. How about just calling the loos the "Lavatories" and be done with it. Or you could go full 1950s and call them the "Lounges." Maybe leave off genders and just let people go when they need to.
Best of luck Mr May on your pub ...I’d like to come have a pint and meal with my family one day.
But does the door close nicely?? 4:59 Yes it does
Lovely to see one of the three in current context. They're still out there!!
Whenever I finally make it to the UK I will most definitely stop in for a pint.
you will never be a woman
the bog garden
Restroom
Wait... Is that giant steps?
When everyone is loosing there assets.... That's why your buying James because it cheap.... And they had to sell...🙈 Hate the world at the minute
Who can afford to drink in Pubs these days.
call the loo the "Water Closet"
Could do with a string of light bulbs out the front.
Islam, Britons new overlords, dont like pubs, he should have opened a Mosque, that seems to be the trend nowadays
@Matt Boyle Middle class woke Corbynista detected.
Shut up
Reference to loo rename. The used beer area.
