What happened after

What happened on the show
Owner Phil had run the Farmers Boy Inn, a seventeenth-century country inn at Longhope in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, for around twenty-five years when Alex Polizzi visited during her twentieth series in 2025. No episode synopsis survives, so the specific on-screen detail is undocumented. A long-established historic country inn fit the show's recurring subject matter. Because the record preserves nothing of the particular faults or fixes, the honest account stops at that outline rather than reconstructing on-screen events, with the fuller measure of the visit lying in where the property later stood, which the present-day evidence documents through its continued award-winning trade. Broadcast in September 2025 during Polizzi's twentieth series, it was one of her Forest of Dean cases at a long-established country inn.
After the cameras left
The Farmers Boy Inn is open and trading, a seventeenth-century country inn at Longhope in the Forest of Dean, run by Phil, its official site confirming it is open all day, every day, seven days a week, with 2026 pricing across the booking platforms, so the open status sits at high confidence. The inn is award-winning, with recognition at the British Pie Awards. The historic Gloucestershire country inn Polizzi visited appears to have kept going comfortably as a going concern, one of the series 20 cases that clearly endured despite the missing synopsis, still trading on its long-established local reputation.
