TIME TO JOIN A NEW GAME?

As we move into a new season and we welcome these magnificent ceps into our kitchen maybe it’s time for you or someone you know to move on too?

We are fortunately very busy and consequently looking for happy people to join our amazing team.

One area we are particularly looking for more help is in our kitchen. Headed by our brilliant head chef Jamie, @jamiegy it’s the beating heart of our business and making so many of our guests and members very happy indeed. Even Jay Rayner thought ‘the food is so good you may not make it to the beach’ @guardian Feb 2020.

We are a fast growing business with a really exciting vision and a very clear purpose of not just making people happy but inspiring them to - that’s a message that’s just as important for our team as it is our guests.

So if you’re thinking of a new start or want to get out of the city and looking for a better work life balance, joining a team where you are valued as an intrinsic part of the whole and not just an employee, and want to be part of something that’s exciting, fun and incredibly positive drop me a line here - harry@thegallivant.co.uk

SEASIDE SUNSHINE STAYCATION When you come down to

SEASIDE SUNSHINE STAYCATION

When you come down to stay with us, you will experience more than a hotel stay.
There’s so much you can do without ever having to leave - daily Experiences (wild swimming, yoga, English wine tasting, etc.), feasting on some of the freshest food you can find, stargazing to find the Milky Way on the beach...

If you ever choose to venture further, you’re a stones’ throw from medieval picture perfect village Rye, a short drive from eclectic Hastings, more than 10 vineyards and so many beaches to Gallivant on. To truly live in the moment. 📸 by @paulreadphotography

POSITIVELY HAPPY FROM THE YOGA MAT Imagine a yoga

POSITIVELY HAPPY FROM THE YOGA MAT

Imagine a yoga flow amongst all this. Noticing your breathing as you try to zone out of any exterior noises or anything your mind is trying to linger to.

Nothing but you, the sand and your mat. When’s the last time you truly had a moment like that, just to yourself?

MAKE THE MOST OF THE SUN THIS AUTUMN

There’s still time to make the most of temperatures in the mid 20s, this week and next. We think this is the best time to enjoy a staycation in the UK - children are back at school, the beach is empty, and we have availability!

You could be sipping on British Champagne in our Coastal Garden in no time 🌿

Or join us on the 20th of September for our Sunday Yoga special event. Hop on a train from London at 9 to arrive just in time for a energising yoga class and a delicious lunch. Find this event on our Special Events page on our new website 😊

A HAPPY DAY STARTS WITH A HAPPY BREAKFAST

Harry’s egg and beans. A new breakfast feature. Fulfilling, warming and so delicious.

Slow cooked smokey baked beans, poached Kent Brown eggs, grilled sourdough.

It’s not #shakshuka , it’s a Gallivant original.

OUR PARADISE IS RIGHT HERE And if I speak of Para

OUR PARADISE IS RIGHT HERE

And if I speak of Paradise,
then I’m speaking of my grandmother
who told me to carry it always
on my person, concealed, so
no one else would know but me.
That way they can’t steal it, she’d say.
And if life puts you under pressure,
trace its ridges in your pocket,
smell its piney scent on your handkerchief,
hum its anthem under your breath.
And if your stresses are sustained and daily,
get yourself to an empty room – be it hotel,
hostel or hovel – find a lamp
and empty your paradise onto a desk:
your white sands, green hills and fresh fish.
Shine the lamp on it like the fresh hope
of morning, and keep staring at it till you sleep.

Inspiring ‘A piece of paradise’ poem by Roger Robinson.

SNUGGLE UP IN OUR COASTAL CABIN You’ve managed

SNUGGLE UP IN OUR COASTAL CABIN

You’ve managed to secure a few days away from city life, to completely switch off. You want a cosy, worry free staycation, where the only stress will be whether or not you’ve remembered your leggings for yoga in the sand dunes.

It’s decked in weathered timber, with notes of dark oak, gold and blues. For solo soul searches and escaping romantics. The Snug Cabin will make you feel like you again. Happiness is found right here 💕
