Food at Rockwater
Rockwater really has thought of everything in terms of welcoming all through its doors when it comes to food. If you want a quick bite as you are walking the dog, head to the Shacks by the Shore for cakes, pastries and delicious coffee…a favourite of ours post sea-swim. For breakfast by sea, the bar and kitchen is a great spot for families to nourish themselves in nice surroundings. For lunch meetings, get comfortable in The Lodge with soup, sandwiches and pizza. The Roof terrace is the top spot in Brighton to eat surf and turf whilst marvelling at the endless sea view. Whatever the social gathering or dining solo, Rockwater really does cater to every whim…the problem is finding an excuse to go home.
Rockwater Drinks
Cocktails at Rockwater are something special – you won’t find the word classic here. The mixologists have created a menu themed around the unbridled joy and wonder of childhood. Playful, inventive and evocative cocktails fill the menu – such as Run, Rum as Fast As You Can or Gimme S’Mores – are frankly delicious as well as fun. With a seaside setting and such an exciting drinks menu, it makes Rockwater one of the top cocktail destinations in the city.
If cocktails aren’t your thing don’t worry, it’s safe to presume that Rockwater will have something to sate every thirst. Rockwater’s own Lager, Blonde & IPA are all on tap alongside some firm favourites. Hot drinks from hoogly teas, coffee, exciting and exotic lattes can be ordered with cold pressed juices. Extensive wines and spirits adorn the bar, all awaiting your order.
