Quote: “It’s about more than pulling the trigger — it’s the people, the place, and the story behind every day in the field or the kitchen.”
Sporting Partner & Host
A lifelong friend and trusted sporting partner, Robert brings decades of experience across every field sport. As a proud member of the Welsh National Clay Pigeon Shooting Team, Robert represents Wales at the highest level while sharing his knowledge and skill with our guests. His calm, professional manner and deep sporting expertise ensure newcomers and seasoned Shots alike feel supported, confident, and challenged in equal measure.
Quote: “The best days in the field are the ones shared. My job is to make sure every guest walks away with a good story and as a better shot.”
Head Chef
For over 20 years, Joe has been at the heart of The Hardwick Inn kitchen, bringing consistency, creativity, and passion to every dish. As Head Chef, he leads our culinary team with a deep respect for tradition and a keen eye for detail, specialising in countryside dining that celebrates the very best of local game and produce. Joe’s love of hospitality shines through in his food — from the field-to-fork dishes enjoyed after a shoot day to the refined menus crafted for private events. With an unwavering dedication to both flavour and presentation, Joe ensures that the dining experience is every bit as memorable as the day in the field itself.
Quote: “For me, great cooking is about respect — for the ingredients, the land they come from, and the people we serve. If guests leave the table with a smile, I’ve done my job.”
At Hardwick Sporting Events, our dedicated team ensures every day in the field runs seamlessly. From crafting seasonal, field-to-fork menus to coordinating smooth drives and guest experiences, their shared passion for sport and hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. Together, they create the authentic, professional, and welcoming atmosphere that defines the Hardwick Sporting Events way — and keeps guests returning year after year.
