Looking for a Christmas party venue on Brighton seafront? The Meeting Place combines beachfront views with a warm, stylish setting, making it a strong choice for festive lunches, dinners and larger celebrations. The restaurant sits directly on the pebbles between the West Pier and the i360, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea and a glass-fronted terrace for pre-dinner drinks or a crisp winter sunset.
The venue can be hired exclusively for up to 150 guests, making it suitable for family gatherings, groups of friends or office-wide Christmas parties. Smaller groups can book tables for a more relaxed celebration, while the all-day opening hours mean festive get-togethers can take place over breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Inside, curved leather booth seating creates cosy corners, while leather bar stools line the fully stocked bar with its striking orange and red marble-effect frontage. Greenery and potted plants soften the space and large chandelier-style lights run through the centre of the room. Outside, the wraparound terrace sits right on the beach, offering another place to enjoy the sea air before or after dinner. With Brighton Palace Pier, the West Pier and the i360 nearby, it is easy to combine a Christmas celebration here with a stroll along the seafront.
The food lends itself well to winter dining, with hearty options such as lamb shank slow-cooked with garlic, celery, carrots and onions and served with mashed potato, alongside moussaka, vegetarian pasta dishes and pan-roasted sea bass with crushed new potatoes and tenderstem broccoli. Starters include calamari, honey-glazed goat’s cheese and king prawns, while desserts range from sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie with ice cream to vegan blueberry cake.
Drinks include wine, cocktails, mocktails, tea and coffee, with non-alcoholic options available. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners are also catered for.
