The Swallow's Return occupies buildings once known as North Barn, next to some important ancient track-ways which linked South Downs settlements from very early times. More recently, in the 18th century a windmill was constructed nearby and it was believed that the miller, John Oliver, used the sails of the windmill to signal smugglers.

We came down from London with our dogs for a walk on the beach, and literally stopped by chance to see if we could get a table? And without a reservation they found us a table. Sat with our wet dogs we had the most delicious meal, served by great staff and welcomed by a lovely host! I would recommend anyone with or without dogs to come here. Food is amazing and staff very welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.
Friendly pub/restaurant, with a nice atmosphere. We visited today for Sunday lunch, for the first time. The vegan roast was large, but quite disappointing- just vegetables with some sort of nuts & fruits creation on top (picture shown is before gravy, a parsnip & broccoli arrived). My partner had the vegan aubergine parmigiana, which, again, I would say was quite underwhelming. Definitely could do better with vegan options
Only thing that let the experience down was the lack of lighting in the car park.. It's dangerous.. Pot holes full of water. Pitch black and very unsafe.. I know they have had issues but still some sort it lights could be put up.. Even if it's a large battery operated light. It is Christmas!! 🚦🌲🎄
Best roast lunch ever apart from ones I cook myself.I had the Trio of meats. Free pudding if you join up too Absolutely delicious Honey Pot made of chocolate and Banofee Pie Well done Annabel 😁
Had a very nice Sunday roast here in the upper dining area. Very nice pork belly & turkey breast with veg. Wouldn’t normally have a dessert but the banoffee and crème brûlée were delicious. Good idea to book on a Sunday.
