Shoot Lunches

From mid-September to the end of January we have the pleasure of catering for local shoot lunches in Hampshire and West Sussex. The shoot lunch is an important part of the shooting day and we provide everything from delicious roasts and casseroles to posh picnics with piping hot soup, homemade pasties and sausages. Menus are available on request.

OUR SHOOTS: Angmering Park Shoot West Sussex, Leydene Shoot Hampshire , Downs Farm West Sussex, Uppark West Sussex.

Fabulous Food have been caterers to the Angmering park shoot for three seasons and we have never been happier. True to their title, I am constantly receiving glowing compliments from my members and visiting Guns for the quality of their lunches and the smooth efficiency of the service provided, both being so important on a shoot day.
