hoSpitAlity
The breakfast, drinks breaks and lunch are a very important social part of any shoot day and I feel that in order to fully
appreciate and enjoy the company of the other guns and guests, it is important to join them and not spend too much time
on your mobile phone or by rushing off at the end of the shooting, unless there is a valid reason to do so.

Shoot lunCheS

Lunch is provided on all days except Boundary and Clear Up Days when pies and soup are available.

Over recent years we have offered partridge or pheasant on at least one day each week to guns for lunch.

I appreciate anyone joining us on the Shoot for a few consecutive days may not wish to have game served to them each
day, so there will be alternative main courses available.

I have discussed our lunches with Ollie Stewart, Catering Manager of Ripley Castle who provides all our lunches at both
Ripley Castle and Mountgarret. He proposes providing more game based lunches in various forms. He also hopes to
produce a booklet detailing these dishes so you can serve them at home.

Any ideas for shoot lunches which include game would be well received.

Ripley CAStle

RefReShMentS
We take a number of drinks breaks throughout each shoot day when we provide champagne together with a selection of
sloe, damson, plum, rhubarb and new this season apricot, raspberry and lemon and cucumber gin with soft drinks. Pies,
soup or bullshot and biscuits will also be provided dependent on the time of the day we are taking lunch.
