Food & Drink

The Rally Restaurant & Bar

Orange hues and oceanic blues serve up a striking interior seascape. Commanding the best view in the house, just moments away from the pebble beach, you can enjoy fresh, seasonal cuisine including the 'catch of the day' supplied by Sussex fishermen. Start with grilled octopus, before tucking in to native lobster, and finishing with a quartet of English local cheeses - Olde Sussex, Golden Cross, Sussex Brie and Brighton Blue. Uniquely, there's a vegetarian menu, too, replete with delicious plant-based options. Wines by the glass have been carefully curated to elevate both the subtle and full-flavoured dishes on the dinner menus.

The Terrace on the Beach

As the name suggests (!), it would seem callous of us not to offer guests the opportunity to dine al fresco, with sweeping views over this ample arm of the Atlantic Ocean, when staying on the Sussex coast. Open all day, dependent on the weather.

Wellness

Wellness Treatments

Beauty and wellness treatments are available at The Relais Cooden Beach Hotel’s on-site sea cottage. Treatments include massages, manicures and pedicures, and hour-long wellness experiences by Aromatherapy Associates.

Golf Courses

Cooden Beach Golf Club

Designed by W. Herbert Fowler and opened in 1912, the course is located on a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI). There are dykes, ponds and strategically placed bunkers to catch a wayward shot. The course’s main defence is the wind which can switch with the tide.
