If you've been tasked with organising this year's office Christmas party, we think an evening at one of Hove's most stylish restaurants is sure to impress your colleagues.
Rockwater has a brilliant position right down on the seafront and with a glass-fronted facade, benefits from spanning views of the beach. Well equipped to host private festive events, the space is split across two levels, offering a relaxed setting for all types of events, whether it's an intimate dinner, or large-scale celebration.
Downstairs on the ground level you'll find The Pub, an informal space studded with big, cosy armchairs, offering direct access to the lawn, as well as a retractable roof and your very own private bar. Stylish and sophisticated, it's perfect for hosting between 30 and 150 people, snacks and an evening of socialising. While it might be a little chilly in December, The Pub also offers direct access to the lawns.
If planning a sit-down dinner, though, the Roof Terrace might be a better option. Don't worry, in winter its retractable glass roof is well and truly overhead, but you still benefit from beautiful views and the twinkling lights outside. Here, dining tables are set up and can be reconfigured into smaller groups or long, banquet-style dining, however you prefer. The Roof Terrace can seat up to 120 people, or if you'd prefer to dance the night away, tables can be moved aside for a standing party of up to 250.
Food options will need to be discussed with the team, but Rockwater ensures fresh and seasonal produce that’s designed for sharing. There’s menus for all occasions, whether you’re looking for canapes and bowls for a standing reception, a multi-course dinner, or a pizza station or food truck in The Pub for something a bit more casual.
