Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop has sparked fury across the Atlantic after suddenly halting deliveries to the United States. American fans who tried to place orders online were stunned to find the option for the US had disappeared from the country list. One furious customer wrote: “I tried to place an order yesterday and couldn’t find my country in the drop-down menu of the order page.
“Since I’ve ordered twice before, I thought I must not be seeing straight? I read the voluminous list of countries over and over. No America, no United States, no nothing. Confused, I contacted the store and they told me: ‘I’m really sad to inform you that, due to recent tariff changes, we’re currently unable to ship to the USA. We truly value your support and interest in shopping with us, and we hope that once shipping routes reopen, we’ll be able to welcome you again.’ F*****g hell.”
Others also vented online, pointing out that tariffs and strict import rules have likely led to a wave of European businesses suspending shipments.
One fan complained: “A lot of European businesses are suspending shipments to the US as a result of tariffs. A lot of couriers are refusing to take the parcels. In short, it’s not worth the hassle.” Another added: “A huge number of businesses are now refusing to dispatch to the US due to tariffs. More trouble than it’s worth for them, and they don’t want the 1* reviews from idiots who don’t understand why the American consumer has to pay the tariff.”
The Oxfordshire farm shop’s website had already warned of the growing difficulties.
A post from June 2025 read: “Unfortunately, we have had to make the decision to temporarily stop shipping to the US due to the ever-increasing complexity of their import rules.”
While US fans may be missing out, the shop has been expanding its UK offering.
In March, Clarkson launched a new delivery service for Manchester customers, and by May his products were also available through Amazon Fresh in selected areas.
Jeremy Clarkson has finally allowed ketchup at his Oxfordshire pub The Farmer’s Dog, after initially banning it to keep the menu “exclusively British”.
When the 65-year-old opened the pub in August 2024, he refused to serve the condiment because traditional ketchup relies on imported ingredients.
But after repeated pleas from diners, Clarkson approved its addition once a Chatham-based firm created a version made entirely with UK produce.
Condimaniac’s ketchup uses tomato passata from the Isle of Wight, Hampshire apple cider vinegar, Essex salt, plus British sugar and onions.
Boss Kier Kemp admitted on instagram: “Making a 100 per cent British ketchup after Jeremy Clarkson alerted us to the fact there wasn’t one was very hard. It turned out to be really hard.”
