The Gallivant is a restaurant with rooms a hop and a skip away from one of the most extraordinary sandy beaches on the South Coast. We have a passion for serving fabulous, locally sourced food in a relaxed coastal environment and treating our guests like they were guests in our own home.
Whether you are looking for a marriage ceremony, a renewal of vows or a committal ceremony, sand between your toes on the beach, we are the perfect venue to celebrate your special occasion.

THE CEREMONY
We are licensed to host Civil Wedding Ceremonies for up to 120 people, enabling you to host your entire wedding celebration all in one location. Alternatively there are some rather special locations nearby, including many beautiful churches. Wherever you decide to get married we are on hand to help you every step of the way.

THE RECEPTION
Celebrations normally begin with a reception in the dunes overlooking our magnificent golden sandy beach. The chance to walk barefoot on soft sand, mingling with loved ones whilst enjoying delicious canapés and drinks. The wedding feast is served in the Beach Hut Marquee on bespoke driftwood tables, decorated with shells, lanterns. Fabulous food is brought to the centre of the table on large serving platters for your guests to share and enjoy at their own speed.
