The Swallows Return - Worthing

I came here for a Mother's Day meal and I must say we all had a fantastic time. The food was cooked perfectly and the restaurant's interior was amazing. The service was friendly and helpful!

We arrived on time, but unfortunately, due to a kitchen problem, the entire Sunday menu was not available. As a result, my disabled companion and I had to quickly find alternative options to eat. We had booked online and were disappointed that the management did not offer an apology or explanation for the inconvenience. The service was very poor. - K.M. Gladman

Valentine's set dinner menu was excellent with good choice of courses. We were in a quiet part of the restaurant on the mezzanine floor with the only downsides being quite chilly as it was feeling the benefit of the cold air from the front door and it could have had more lighting as some tables were in the dark. The staff were excellent and very attentive so that added to the meals being served promptly made the evening a good choice. We have been to The Swallows Return on a number of occasions so this visit was a success. In the past we have found service to be slow maybe because of choosing from the a la carte menu vs the set menu choices.

Unfortunately the reservation by Opentable wasn’t received but luckily there was one table left given several parties and festive diners!!!!! There seems to be an ongoing communication problem and we were asked to forward on our e-mail reservation to the Swallows from Opentable. Given we had travelled by taxi we almost had a disastrous evening!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately we booked through yourselves, arrived and no table was booked. We believe you have sorted this out, as we would not want to book a table for six and it was not available, fortunately they were able to accommodate for two! Food was good, BUT STILL NOT HOT WHEN ARRIVED AT TABLE. This is our one and only complaint, needs hot plates as well.
