While Brighton and Hove are full of incredible restaurants, Rockwater certainly brings something a little different to the table, especially when it comes to private dining. Snuggled right into the shoreline, this glass-fronted restaurant certainly knows its angles and shows off the best views of the coast. In fact, from certain spots, all you can see is spanning waves which is a special USP of this well-loved haunt.
Any private event, whether it be an intimate dinner for 30 or a party of 250, benefits from a beautiful backdrop and when it comes to interior design, Rockwater absolutely delivers. From a contemporary take on chandeliers in an array of rust tones to vintage-inspired seating upholstered in pastel hues, the venue's relaxed but sophisticated style more than adds to the appeal.
Choose from two main spaces for your upcoming private dinner, both as gorgeous as each other. On the ground floor is The Pub, which can host between 30 and 150 guests. With a retractable roof, and access directly to the lawns, it offers a more casual setting perfect for laid-back gatherings. You’ll also have the option to add a pizza station or food truck, if you’re looking to take the evening in a different direction.
Upstairs, you'll find the Roof Terrace which similarly can host between 12 and 120 guests for a sit down dinner, or 200 if just up for drinks and dancing. Flooded with natural light and uninterrupted views, this area also has a retractable roof and is fit for a party whatever the weather.
When it comes to catering, you'll have the chance to discuss your wants and needs with the team, but Rockwater's attitude to food always stays the same. Expect fresh, ingredient-led dishes with an emphasis on local produce. Whether you're planning canapes and light bites, seated dinners or grazing tables, Rockwater has something for every occasion.
