Although seen primarily as a restaurant, it does have a bar. Formally farm buildings known as North Barn, it was converted in the late 1990s. It didn't open  as the Swallows Return until 2003.

Following a refit after closing on the 28th of February 2019, Swallows Return reopened on the 8th of March with a "cosy new look to reflect its rural charm and rustic character."

From a local business  newspaper 2: A new pub is
about to open in Littlehampton Road, Worthing, and
will bring 40 new jobs to the area. "It's to be called the Swallow's Return and spokesman Mark Bond believes the inn will be a big asset to the area."

 He said, "When the building is complete, it will sit comfortably in Worthing as if it had always been there., and we hope its atmosphere and charm will grow naturally as guest contribute to its own distinctive identity.

Our aim is to provide an element that is so often missing from the usual dining out scene; restaurant-quality food and service, to be enjoyed in the quite relaxed surroundings of a British inn, complete with real log fires."
