UK supermarket giant Waitrose has issued a customer notice on Jeremy Clarkson's Hawkstone beer.

The former Top Gear and Grand Tour host resides in Oxfordshire, running both Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington and The Farmer's Dog in Asthall, near Burford.

It is here where he serves his alcohol brand Hawkstone, which is named after a Neolithic monument located nearby in the Cotswolds.

The brand stocks a wide variety of beverages, including lager, stout, cider, vodka and more, with these all available to purchase in person at Mr Clarkson's Oxfordshire sites as well as online.

Fans can also get their hands on Hawkstone Lager at a number of supermarket chains across the UK, including Waitrose.

This is the case at Oxford's store on Botley Road, where shoppers can usually find bottles of the tipple available in four-packs or bigger cases.

That was until today, when stocks were running extremely low due in part to the ongoing heatwave, which saw temperatures soar to 36°C yesterday (Wednesday, June 24).

With BBQs aplenty and people trying to stay cool with a cold drink, several shoppers could be seen leaving with the big boxes of Hawkstone on Tuesday (June 23).

This meant that, barring a couple of the smaller four packs, the store was completely sold out of Hawkstone, with other lager brands still on the shelves.

A customer notice from Waitrose, where the empty space was, said: "Hawkstone, Premium Lager. Back Soon."
