Gallivant - Menu

Close to the dunes of Camber Sands, The Place at the beach is a bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit if you are in the area.

The restaurant proper was closed when I arrived at 5pm but the marquee was open. For essentially a self-serve bbq at the motorway, prices were rather

We dined in the restaurant at The Gallivant last evening. Service was inexplicably atrocious. Perhaps the Restaurant Manager would like to get in touch to explain why. Service: 1 Location: 3

I took a solo trip here on Saturday was greeted with suspicion by front of house staff who asked if I was on my own! Took a seat and was ignored by the waiters... I had to get up and leave and was so disappointed by the attitude of the staff.

Beautiful tranquil boutique hotel. Stunning decor and gardens are glorious, a real tranquil haven. Service top notch, local food and wines, it’s a dreamy escape I had the most amazing reflexology facial at their treatment rooms too! Highly recommend for a summer break away.

The perfect place for a long lunch with fresh, local ingredients, beautifully prepared. The space has a superb, thoughtfully-curated style and sense of belonging. Hamish and team run and incredibly smooth service. A true joy to visit, and perfect walkability for the dogs to run along Camber Sands after. Thanks Gallivant, see you again soon! Service: 5

Beautiful restaurant and bar, but the experience was mixed. The bar tender kindly gave us a taste of local wines, but we were then left waiting almost an hour and half for our food. Food came, but the crab was so incredibly small that we had to send the crab back as at £14 it’s a joke. The rest of the food and service was mediocre for the price point.

Having stayed at the Gallivant in June, before moving into my new home, I decided I 'd like to become a member of Gallivant, so that I could take advantage of the morning yoga classes. However, what should have been an incredibly simple process, was allowed to turn into a ludicrous, 3 week+ fiasco! Apparently Galivant is suffering with problems caused by their new payment system...... However, while technical problems and glitches are totally excusable, dire communication and staff ineptitude is not! Enquiries made by email and phone were steadfastly unanswered, offers for solutions were ignored, and to make matters even more frustrating, it was nigh on almost impossible to get through to so...

Terrible service, bad food, over priced. We hesitated over booking The Gallivant as for a 4 star hotel, reviews seemed pretty low. In the end, we risked it it did look lovely after all. Firstly, the hotel is not on the beach but a main road, not so much of a tranquil haven. Really though, the problem was the service. Service was laughably terrible, the worst we have ever experienced despite being seasoned travellers. Some examples: on being seated for breakfast, it then took 40 minutes before someone took our coffee order. Tables on either side were having the same experience the couple to our left were told they couldn't even order breakfast as the kitchen was so backed up. The party of 4 t...
