The experience

Wild sport.
Warm hospitality.

We create honest, accompanied walked-up shoot days across a beautiful 2,000-acre estate in the Kent countryside, bringing together quality sporting ground, knowledgeable hosts and food that belongs to the landscape.

Come as a private party, or take a place on one of our carefully matched per-peg days. We arrange the detail around the shooting as thoughtfully as the day itself.

The rhythm of the day

From first step to fireside.

    Meet & briefing

    A warm welcome, coffee and a clear safety briefing before setting off.

  2. Morning

    Into the ground

    Walked-up sport through a changing Kent landscape, accompanied throughout.

  3. Lunch

    The field table

    A seasonal menu, served where the day is happening and made to restore.

  5. Evening

    Stay a while

    On to a country hotel, fireside pub or exceptional restaurant if you choose.

The field lunch

An appetite for the field.

Lunch belongs in the field, but it need not be ordinary.

We work with some of the most talented local chefs, who build each menu around the season and Kent’s growers, farmers and makers. Expect food that is generous, restorative and rooted in the landscape around you.

Stay in Kent

Come for the day.
Stay for Kent.

We can arrange the evening to match the party: muddy boots and a table by the fire, or a change of clothes and a Michelin-starred dinner. We select warm, individual places with a genuine sense of Kent.

Every day begins with a clear briefing and is accompanied by experienced hosts who know the ground.

Wild sport

Quarry and conditions vary. We describe likely sport candidly and never promise what the countryside cannot guarantee.
