The attraction, due to open in Summer 2016, will accommodate facilities for conferences, corporate and private events and wedding receptions for 10 to 800 guests and will also include heritage tea rooms and an all day brasserie.
Centerplate will be working with local suppliers are chefs and providing a service to the all day brasserie restaurant that will offer breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, with lunch-time menus focusing on family-friendly meals.
The event hospitality caterer also plans to stage regular special ‘pop up’ dining events that such as meet the chef days, including Sussex based Masterchef winner Steven Edwards and his etch co-founder Josh Stanzi.
Nigel Hutson, director of operations – Heritage at Centerplate in the UK, said: “The Brighton i360 is going to be an international icon and world-renowned visitor attraction and we are very pleased to be part of this exciting venture.
“In developing the catering and hospitality offering at this new venue, we are being very mindful of the broad spectrum of customers who will be visiting the i360’s facilities.
“We want to encourage members of the local community and families on a day out to pop in for refreshments throughout the day, whilst also offering a selection of signature dishes which will appeal to discerning diners in the evenings.
“What will unite all of the dishes on the menus is the focus on seasonal and locally-sourced produce, and bringing Steven and Josh into the mix at the restaurant will create some further excitement around the signature dishes on our brasserie and event menus, which will be regularly refreshed.”
