Jeremy Clarkson is seeking out a 'wise old soul' to run his new 60-seat restaurant at Diddly Squat farm in Oxfordshire.
The 61-year-old Grand Tour host, who owns the 1,000-acre site in the Cotswolds, said he valued a person of years and experience to head up the new establishment, which will sell his own beef and produce.
In recent weeks, Clarkson said he intends to undercut local gastro pubs with cheaper, hearty meals, while countering the flood of cheap meat in the market after the UK's trade deals with Australia and Canada.

In a typically wry column for The Sunday Times, Clarkson lamented how Britain is currently facing shortages because of a lack of skilled workers available.
But Mr Clarkson argued that age shouldn't make a difference when it comes to employment.
He wrote: 'Old people are very happy to sit about in their inconti-trousers, doing nothing all day, and then moaning about how young people are all too spoilt and entitled to get off their backsides.'
The popularity of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime has led to queues for the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, with neighbours growing concerned with the increase in traffic in the area
The television personality countered this by citing the achievements of Emma Radacanu or his hardworking apprentice Kaleb Cooper, 'who's basically an 18-hour-a-day Duracell bunny'.
'I see lots of driven young people every day but rarely do I see an older person charging round the place, all elbows and fire and steeling determination. Which means there's a vast and experienced pool of talent going to waste.'
Setting out a plea for an employee with experience, he added: 'I want a kitchen full of pies and gravy and wipe-down chairs and Bad company on the stereo and everyone exchanging bewildered looks when someone asks for the transgender lavatories.'

Earlier this month, Mr Clarkson called a meeting with local residents, having invoked the ire of his neighbours over the growing popularity of Diddly Squat with tourists.
Hundreds of fans from across Britain have queued for hours at a time to get inside the farm shop since his fly-on-the-wall series, Clarkson's Farm, landed on Amazon Prime this summer and unexpectedly took the country by storm.
Locals remain divided about the surge in tourists to Chadlington, with some saying it has put the Oxfordshire village on the map and boosted the local economy while others are concerned it could transform the community for the worse.
Police have even been called out to manage traffic chaos caused by Clarkson fans descending on his farm in the hope of meeting the TV star and to check out his stock, which includes honey, chutney and T-shirts.

He has faced further controversy over plans to convert the disused lambing shed on his 1,000-acre farm Diddly Squat - named as such because it made no money - and use it for a kitchen serving meals for £30-a-head.
He recently called a meeting with local residents at the Memorial Hall in Chadlington to discuss the issue, admitting that he himself has found the crowds 'a bloody nuisance and you have my absolute
