Rockwater, The Pub

About Venue

Rockwater, Hove is a coastal venue in Brighton that brings together relaxed dining, brilliant sea views, and two very different event spaces under one roof. It has a warm, social atmosphere that works just as well for intimate occasions as it does for larger celebrations, and it feels like the kind of place where people settle in and really enjoy themselves.

The venue is popular for birthdays, engagement parties, private dinners, weddings, corporate away days, strategy sessions, and seasonal celebrations. Organisers choose it because it can shift easily between daytime workshops, laid back gatherings, sunset drinks, and late night parties. Each event has a slightly different energy here thanks to the setting, the views, and the flow between the indoor and outdoor areas.

What makes Rockwater stand out is the combination of great food, thoughtful service, and plenty of flexibility. The team are very hands on with planning and can support with menus, timings, entertainment, and creative ideas to help bring an event to life. Premium options like exclusive hire, private bars, and tailored food and drink packages make it very easy to build something that feels personal. The whole venue has a breezy, uplifting feel that suits everything from all day workshops to after dark celebrations.

Rockwater is easy to reach along the seafront in Hove, with nearby parking, good public transport options, and step free access throughout the main areas. It is a convenient choice for guests travelling from Brighton, Shoreham, and the wider Sussex coast.
