The Clubhouse & Café

After an afternoon or day shooting, there’s nothing better than sitting down and reflecting on your performance over a delicious lunch and drink. Especially when it’s all prepared at The Clubhouse & Café at Thimbleby! Only recently opened in April 2021, it’s one of the main parts of the fantastic facilities that are on site. It’s not only a place for instructors to meet their teams but also a focal point where you can meet your other guests before a round of clay shooting.

Once you’ve experienced all of the different simulated levels, retreat to the Clubhouse to refuel and relax. Thimbleby offers breakfasts, hot and cold drinks, snacks, light bites, and lunches for all the visitors.
