Flavour to savour
We think eating and drinking should be a celebration. That’s why you’ll find a wine list stocked with stunning English wine, fresh ingredients from the surrounding land and sea, and a style of cooking that celebrates where we are and what we have.
You shouldn’t believe everything you read in the news but the stories about staff shortages in our industry are impacting us too. So for a while the menu here is going to be shorter than it has been. Whilst it might be short in length it’s long on imagination, taste and love.
If we’d not made the change our Head Chef Jamie – and his team – would have been under serious pressure. Whilst the length of the menu might have suffered you’re guaranteed the same outstanding food we are becoming famous for. We hope you will understand.
We are open for overnight guests, our Members and their friends.
Food for thought
Jamie and his team serve exquisitely simple food for you to enjoy. Virtually all British and very locally sourced when possible.
You can enjoy it in the Dining room, Bar, outside on the Terrace and even on the beach. No pressure on space. No pressure on you. If you would like a picnic lunch please tell us the night before.
Wines and drinks of England
We have more English wines to choose from than anywhere in the UK. And so we should – we are in the heart of English wine country. English ciders, ales and some superlative English spirits too, we never fall back on the obvious choice. Where’s the fun in that?
Welcome to The Beach Hut
Our mini spa is a relaxing little oasis. Nestled in a corner of our coastal garden is our spa, The Beach Hut. Escape to this special place for some serious pampering. Sensual facials, relaxing massages and restorative manicures and pedicures – it’s a little bit of heaven a hop and a skip from the beach.
It’s also the only spa in East Sussex where you can enjoy a glass of fizz, or a delicious lunch and dinner as part of your pampering treat. The Beach Hut mini spa is for overnight guests, Members and their friends.

A business event at the Gallivant can push your boundaries and make anything seem possible. There’s a variety of spaces and environments, all the audio visual mod cons, wi fi throughout and of course indulgent food that will impress your clients and put grins on your team’s faces.
The brochure linked below is out of date and will be replaced shortly but gives a general idea of what is possible.
Celebrate in style
It’s great to get everyone together for special occasions, from birthdays to long-overdue reunions. Or you just need an excuse to while away a few days by the seaside.
Our private dining room, The Cabin seats 14, our Dining Room 30 and the Summer House up to 80. Take one of our private rooms or the whole house, we’re very accommodating. Whatever the size of your group, our team will take care of everything.
Paddleboarding Day
Enjoy a relaxing, at times challenging paddle around the local Sussex rivers, taking in the sights of the villages and countryside, and enjoy the abundant wildlife from a rarely experienced viewpoint.
Stand up Paddle boarding or ‘SUP’ for short is one of the fastest growing waters sports in the world. Using a large, stable board and a single blade paddle you can navigate your way along coastlines, rivers, and lakes.
The wonderful thing about a SUP is that, unlike some more traditional water sports, it offers flexibility for the rider as you can paddle either on your knees or standing. It is a great way to experience the outdoors and an enjoyable means of getting some good, whole body exercise.
The experience starts with a skills class for both novices and those with some experience. Starting with the very basics of posture, balance and paddle control, the lesson gives you all the basic skills you need to take up paddle boarding.
Then the adventure begins, exploring the waterways of Sussex, taking on rivers, canals and (wind permitting) SUP yoga. We’ll then set off down the military canal for a relaxing paddle.
Of course, being a Gallivant paddle boarding day means we will have a special lunch set up for you en-route with of head chef Jamie’s take on a packed lunch! Before picking up the pace a little for our paddle back to the start point.
The skills you learn together with your experiences led by your qualified SUP guide means that you will qualify for the British Stand-Up Paddle Board Association ‘Ready to Ride’ certificate.
This certificate can be shown at most paddle board centres around the country and you will be able to hire a board and go out on waterways straightaway.
