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.

A wonderful stay. Lydia was an absolute gem. Discovered black badger beans. Our dog Roo frolicked on the shores of Camber sands. It was a delight.

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the Gallivant for our mini moon. Lynsey was so warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and had everything arranged perfectly. The room was amazing, and super spacious. We had a wine tasting on our first night and John the bar manager which was incredible! John was so knowledgeable about English wines and recommended so many great choices throughout our stay! Last but certainly not least the food was fantastic! Couldn’t recommend the Gallivant enough and special thanks to Lynsey and John for making our stay super special!

Outstanding service and a team who couldn’t do enough for us. Key highlights:

– English wine pouring each day is such a treat and wonderful to see English wine being celebrated with such confidence and commitment
– The menus are so fresh and seasonal, and very tasty!
– The Sustainability pledge is serious and you can see how you are bringing it to life in so many different ways – food, use of packaging, energy and materials

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our (fourth) stay – thank you to all. We look forward returning.

Had a lovely weekend at The Gallivant. The food was some of the best we've ever eaten and the wine was particular amazing. The 'wine at 5' was such a lovely gesture and we really liked getting to try new varieties. Lyndsey was always on hand to answer any questions which made for a wonderful stay. We'll be back!
