The Meeting Place provides a relaxed beachfront setting for events in Brighton, with the option to book tables for a semi-private gathering or hire the whole venue for up to 150 guests. Set directly on the pebbles beside the promenade, it is well placed for anyone wanting to combine an event with time by the sea, with the West Pier, Brighton Palace Pier and the i360 all close by.
Inside, teal textured walls, modern chandelier-style lighting, leather seating and plenty of greenery surround a striking marble-fronted bar. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea views, while the glass-fronted terrace provides additional outdoor space for events overlooking Brighton Beach.
Because the venue is open from breakfast through to late-night dining, events can take place at almost any point in the day. Morning gatherings might centre around a full English, Welsh rarebit, organic granola, American pancakes or breakfast burgers, with vegan and vegetarian choices available too.
Later on, the menu shifts towards Mediterranean and British-inspired dishes, including starters such as olives, tzatziki and vegetable samosas, followed by options like a smashed Wagyu burger, moussaka or linguine with courgette and tomatoes. Evening events can move into heartier mains such as fish and chips, lamb shank or salmon fillet. Desserts include comforting favourites such as chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding.
Families are well catered for, with a dedicated kids’ menu featuring straightforward favourites such as chicken nuggets and chips or a burger and chips, accompanied by juice. The venue is also dog-friendly and wheelchair accessible.
Drinks add another layer to events, with cocktails including Pina Coladas, Pornstar Martinis, Lychee Martinis and Bloody Marys, alongside alcohol-free options such as a Virgin Lychee Martini. Wine, beer, soft drinks, tea and coffee are also available.
