David Coulthard透露，他曾一度把自己经营惨淡的伦敦酒馆提议交给Jeremy Clarkson
前一级方程式车手David Coulthard透露，当他试图挽救这项事业时，他曾免费把自己位于伦敦西南部、经营惨淡的酒馆提议交给前Top Gear主持人Jeremy Clarkson。
在与主持人Jodie Kidd进行的一场边开车边聊的访谈中，这位曾效力于威廉姆斯、迈凯伦和红牛的前车手解释道，当他无法让这家名为The Brown Dog的酒馆在生意上运转起来时，他是如何找到Clarkson商谈的。
库特哈德说：“我买了巴恩斯的一家酒吧，但经营得并不成功。那家酒吧叫 The Brown Dog，我们没法让它运转起来。”
面对一家无法维持的生意，库特哈德大约两年前向克拉克森提出了他的建议。他愿意把该房产的地契全部转让给这位电视主持人，以换取未来利润的一部分。
库特哈德解释说：“我实际上是把它提供给了 Jeremy Clarkson。我说：‘Jeremy，我把酒吧送给你，地契都归你，但等你赚到钱的时候，你得开始给我们分一份。’”
不过，这笔交易最终没有达成，因为那家酒吧的位置对克拉克森来说并不理想。这位前《The Grand Tour》主持人和《Clarkson's Farm》明星后来在牛津郡开了自己的酒吧 The Farmer's Dog。
"我认为只是距离他住的地方太远了，不划算，"库特哈德补充道。"这可是个不好做的生意。"
自从与理查德·哈蒙德和詹姆斯·梅一起退出主持《The Grand Tour》和《Top Gear》之后，克拉克森扩展了他的商业版图。他拥有并经营着多家相互关联的农业和酒店餐饮业务，主要集中在科茨沃尔德地区。
他拥有Diddly Squat农场，正如《克拉克森的农场》节目中所展示的那样，他同时经营着Diddly Squat农场商店。他还创立了Hawkstone，这是一个酒类品牌，使用来自英国农民以及他自己收成的大麦酿造优质拉格啤酒、IPA和苹果酒。
克拉克森还拥有The Farmer's Dog，这是一家传统英式酒吧。

Former F1 driver reveals he offered London pub to Jeremy Clarkson in unusual deal
David Coulthard has revealed he once offered his struggling London pub to Jeremy Clarkson
Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard has revealed he once offered his struggling south-west London pub to former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson free of charge in an attempt to salvage the venture.
Speaking during a drive-along interview with presenter Jodie Kidd, the former Williams, McLaren and Red Bull driver explained how he approached Clarkson when he couldn't get the pub, The Brown Dog, to work as a business.
"I bought a pub in Barnes which just didn't work," Coulthard said. "It was The Brown Dog, and we couldn't make it work."
Faced with an unviable business, Coulthard shared his proposal with Clarkson approximately two years ago. He offered the TV host a complete transfer of the property's title deeds in exchange for a share of any future profits.
"I actually offered it to Jeremy Clarkson," Coulthard explained. "I said, 'Jeremy, I'll give you the pub. It's yours, title deeds, but if and when you make money, you start cutting us in.'"
The deal did not come to fruition, though, because the pub was not ideally located for Clarkson. The former Grand Tour host and star of Clarkson's Farm has since opened his own pub, The Farmer's Dog, in Oxfordshire.
"I think it was just too far from where he lives to make it sensible," Coulthard added. "It's a difficult business."
Since his step away from hosting The Grand Tour and Top Gear alongside Richard Hammond and James May, Clarkson has expanded his business portfolio. He owns and operates several intertwined agricultural and hospitality businesses, mainly in the Cotswolds.
He owns Diddly Squat Farm, as seen on Clarkson's Farm, which he operates alongside the Diddly Squat Farm Shop. He also founded Hawkstone, an alcohol brand that produces premium lagers, IPAs and ciders using barley sourced from British farmers, as well as from his own harvests.
Clarkson also owns The Farmer's Dog, which is a traditional British pub.
