This October, St James’s Hotel & Club will be partnering with gun craftsmen Purdey to celebrate a day of shooting at the West London Shooting School.
The hotel will be offering guests the chance to experience a shoot with Purdey’s world renowned hand-crafted guns. Purdey are the leading craftsmen of the world’s best rifles and shotguns and guests will be invited to explore a tradition of gunmaking excellence that goes back over two centuries.
Expert tutors will treat guests to a two-hour session at the West London Shooting School which is ideal for both experienced shooters and those who are new to the sport.
An exquisite game tasting dinner by William Drabble will be provided at the hotel’s very own Michelin star restaurant after the shoot. Drabble is Head Chef of Seven Park Place which is one of the smallest Michelin starred restaurants in Europe. He will delight guests with an Autumnal feast, making the most of the season’s delicacies. The menu will be a celebration of British gastronomy, consisting of the best flavours of the cuisine including grouse, venison, mallards and indulgent white truffle.
St James’s Hotel and Club was originally one of London’s most exclusive Gentleman’s Clubs. It is located in a quiet corner of bustling Mayfair, next to the idyllic Green Park. It is situated just a stone’s throw away from some of London’s most exclusive shopping destinations such as new Bond Street and Jermyn Street.
Phillip Tracey will be exhibiting his creations for Purdey in the hotel this autumn, decorating the rooms in a way which ties in with the hotel’s ethos of style and heritage.
An overnight stay at St James’s Hotel and Club, with a lesson at the West London Shooting School, and a Game Dinner at the Michelin Starred Seven Park Place starts from £523 per night.
