A Happy Christmas by the sea

WEDNESDAY 23rd to FRIDAY 26th DECEMBER

You are invited to our Christmas House Party by the sea.

We’ve created the perfect festive retreat – imagine crisp December days filled with invigorating walks along our pristine beach followed by cosy evenings of games and conversation beside our roaring log fire.  As twilight falls, craft cocktails await, and intimate dinners in our acclaimed restaurant, Harry’s.

Chef Matthew’s exceptional festive menus celebrate the season, each course thoughtfully paired with fine and rare wines, concluding with moreish digestifs to make every evening truly memorable.

*****

Upon arrival on the 23rd, we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with freshly baked mince pies, brandy butter and tea in the Sitting Room, before you enjoy an à la carte dinner in Harry’s.

Christmas Eve brings a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, time for long beach walks, and relaxation in our snug. We’ll serve Christmas cake and tea in the afternoon, followed by our special Christmas Eve menu at Harry’s.

For Christmas Day, we’re serving a champagne breakfast to start your celebrations, followed by more champagne and canapés before our three-course Christmas lunch. The afternoon offers Christmas cake, tea, and board games in the Sitting Room. Later, we’ll provide a Christmas supper tray for you to enjoy wherever you wish.

On Boxing Day, join us for a morning yoga class before your final Gallivant breakfast.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your Christmas with us will be both relaxing and memorable.

We’ve been coming to the Gallivant (or rather The place at the beach then The place) since 2005 and each visit brings new happy memories – thank you. We were greeted warmly by everyone, Nakeeta, Johnathon and Jo especially made us feel like old friends. Tiff in the restaurant was very knowledgable and we were impressed with her cheery yet professional manner. The food has definitely upscaled so many thanks to Matthew and the team couldn’t fault a thing. Also love the new breakfast suited us perfectly. We stayed in a snug room Fastnet and bed comfy of course, bamford treats always welcomed. Looking forward to our next visit. Happy Christmas to you all 🎅🏻🎄 Yvette Hales & Matt Wallis
