Now that our seasons are up and running, we wanted to share this wonderful article as a little reminder of how to do it right. Whether you call it a Breakfast or a Supper, it’s an important part of hunting. Read this lovely article written by Rita Mae Brown about the formidable queen of “The Hunt Breakfast” Granny Hahn. We should all aspire to carry on her fine Breakfast traditions.
Tell us if you have ever hosted and what your favorite traditions are. Chasing a Fox is getting ready for our annual Hunt Supper and we would love to add something new.
Happy Hunting everyone!

A hunt breakfast consisting of Mummy Broome’s Shepherd’s pies and sausage pasties are lovely and very satisfying after a memorable morning hunt!
This sounds grand, but we usually have 40-80 people at breakfast and our tiny hunt club could never seat them all at tables. We are lucky we have a warm dry to place to gather in the winter. We are sometimes hunting at fixtures away from the club house and rather then loose half the crowd trailering back to the club house for breakfast – stew on a tail gate, or buffet in a trailer is often the best way for everyone to get together. As long as we;re all having a grand time – that’s what it’s about!
We had a wonderful breakfast in a barn at a joint meet with Frazer Valley – they had checkered table clothes on the hay bales and ‘rustic’ food. I also went to a fabulous breakfast in the field at Middleton Place in Charleston some years ago. They had an unhitched wagon with the most magnificent cold cut buffet I’d ever seen! Granny would have loved it!
