Sweet Lamb

Hospitality at Sweet Lamb reflects a relaxed but considered approach, designed to complement the day in the field. Food is prepared in-house using quality local produce wherever possible, with menus influenced by a strong field to fork ethos.

From morning refreshments to lunch, the focus is on generous, well-executed dishes that suit the setting and the pace of the day.

It is hospitality that feels natural rather than formal, providing a welcome pause between drives and contributing to the overall experience that defines Sweet Lamb.

Sweet Lamb presents a strong mix of pheasant and partridge, with birds shown to make full use of the Welsh terrain. Height, pace, and unpredictability are defining features, with birds driven over valleys, ridgelines, and woodland edges to create testing and memorable shooting.

Expect birds that require focus and commitment, rewarding those who are prepared to take them on. Drives are designed to produce consistent sport across the line, with an emphasis on quality presentation rather than volume.

This is proper Welsh shooting, where the landscape plays as much a part as the birds themselves.

The estate sits within the Cambrian Mountains, offering expansive, rugged terrain that defines the Sweet Lamb experience. Steep valleys, open hillsides, forestry, and natural cover combine to create dramatic and varied drives.

Elevation and scale allow birds to be presented with genuine height and distance, often appearing over ridgelines and travelling across wide valleys.

This is not gentle countryside. It is bold, exposed, and visually striking.

The topography provides the foundation for exciting, testing sport and ensures that no two drives feel the same.

The revival of Sweet Lamb includes a strong and ongoing commitment to conservation and land management. Habitat restoration, woodland management, and carefully planned cover crops are being reintroduced to support both game and wild bird populations.

The scale of the estate allows for meaningful biodiversity gains, with conservation margins, feeding programmes, and predator control all contributing to a balanced ecosystem.

This is a long-term project, focused on restoring the shoot to its former standing while enhancing the wider environment.

The result will be a landscape that supports sustainable shooting alongside thriving wildlife across the estate.

Sweet Lamb Shoot is now under the direction of Gareth and Samantha Stevens, bringing their experience and proven approach from Blannicombe Shoot in Devon.

Their focus is on delivering well-run, enjoyable days that combine quality sport with genuine hospitality. With a hands-on approach and attention to detail, they ensure that each day flows smoothly while maintaining a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Guests can expect clear communication, professional organisation, and hosts who understand both the shooting and the importance of the overall experience.
