From sunrise to sunset, taking you from early morning yoga and sea swims to evening craft workshops, comedy nights, live music and evening cocktails with friends.
Our home here at Rockwater is your home. Whatever the weather, step inside, sit back, relax and enjoy life the Rockwater way.
For seated events, capacity is from 12 – 200 guests. Larger events can be hosted as standing, with some limited seating, up to a maximum of 200.

Fantastic sea view and great sea food options. Eating oysters on this rooftop on a sunny day is a proper treat. Service and interiors are impeccable. Expensive but commensurate to the area and the quality.
Robin Cornwell
What an absolutely beautiful nigh. The venue, staff, food and the incredible Jazz Band culminated in an unforgettable evening. Mia and Madison our waitresses were brilliant. Their opinions on the food and cocktails was spot on. If you want a perfect night out then go to Rockwater Hove on a Thursday night for the Jazz night. 10 out of 10.👌

I've been to Rockwater a few times and they've always been very helpful and the food enjoyable. Even have disabled access and ample room for wheelchairs to move around and not feel in the way. The best asset is the location and the views which look great from everywhere within. Also, very good cocktails, can't forget the cocktails.
