About Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney

About Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney

The farm off the telly made a chutney, and naturally it has beer in the name. Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney is the jar people pick up at the farm shop and then claim they bought for someone else.

It belongs beside a slab of Cheddar and a pork pie, on a board that was meant to be a snack and somehow turned into dinner.

If you have watched Clarkson's Farm from a sofa in Canada and wondered what the shop actually sells, start here.

It is the UK jar, and it ships from within Canada.

Frequently asked questions about Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney

Q: How big is the jar?

A: It is a 340g jar. That is a fair few cheese sandwiches, depending on how heavy your hand is with the spoon.

Q: What do people eat it with?

A: Cheese, mostly, and Cheddar first of all. It is also very good with cold ham, pork pies and sausage rolls, and it turns an ordinary toastie into something you will want again tomorrow.

Q: Does it make a good gift?

A: It does, especially for anyone who has watched Clarkson's Farm and quietly wanted something from that shop. Add a block of Cheddar and you have a present they will actually use.

More about Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney

Chutney is the quiet backbone of British lunch. The ploughman's, the cheese board, the cold ham sandwich at the pub: none of them is finished until there is a dark, sharp spoonful on the side. A real ale chutney is that tradition with its sleeves rolled up.

Some people in Canada come looking for it because they have watched every episode and want a bit of the farm in their own kitchen. Others have never seen the show and simply miss a proper pub chutney with their cheese. Both lots end up scraping the jar.

It comes in a 340g jar, enough for a good few lunches if you are disciplined and about three if you are not. Keep it in the cupboard until it is opened, then follow what the lid tells you. Try it in a cheese toastie, next to a sausage roll or stirred into a ham sandwich.

It does its best work with a strong Cheddar, a crumbly Stilton, a pork pie or a packet of oatcakes. A pint alongside is traditional, and nobody is going to argue.

The story of Diddly Squat Farm Real Ale Chutney

Cheese, meet your new best friend

A cheese sandwich without chutney is just bread having a quiet day. You know it, and so does this jar. It comes from Jeremy Clarkson's farm near Chipping Norton, the one you have watched on the telly, and the official shop says its chutneys are homemade using produce from Diddly Squat Farm. So the man who named his farm after nothing has put something in a jar. Progress.

Read the full story

A farm named for nothing

Clarkson bought about a thousand acres near Chipping Norton in 2008, land that was formerly part of the Sarsden estate. A local villager contract-farmed it until his retirement in 2019, and then Clarkson took over himself. He renamed it Diddly Squat, slang for the least amount, or nothing, to indicate its lack of productivity. Honest, at least. Then the Amazon Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm came along, and suddenly a farm named after nothing was known around the world.

Forty tonnes of potatoes later

The shop exists because of an accident. Clarkson accidentally produced 40 tonnes of potatoes, which is a lot of chips for one household, so in 2020 he and Lisa Hogan opened the Diddly Squat Farm Shop. It is known for drawing very long visitor queues, and it faced a two-month closure after a council dispute over the roofing material on the building. Its products are made on the farm or by neighbouring businesses in the Cotswolds. In 2024 they reached the UK high street for the first time, via Amazon Fresh.

Where it earns its keep

Chutney is the bit of British food that does the heavy lifting and never takes a bow. It sits beside a ploughman's lunch, gets dolloped next to a pork pie, and turns the last scraps of the cheese board into a proper supper. You will open the jar for one sandwich. Ten minutes later you will be back at the fridge with a knife and a wedge of cheddar, telling nobody.
