Drinks
Kitchen Garden tipples, classic cocktails and English wines in our cosy oval panelled Bar.
Discover our tipples from garden to glass...
Whether you’re joining us first thing for a Garden Bloody Mary pick-me-up or a late nightcap, we will smash, muddle, blend, shake and throw our way to making you your perfect drink. All of our cocktails are designed with the Kitchen Garden in mind.
Like our restaurant, our aim is to provide high quality products in the most sustainable, local and resourceful way possible.
Our location means we are lucky enough to be surrounded by some award-winning artisan breweries, wineries and distilleries, and you will find them all on our Bar List. Just drop by for a tipple or two on the terrace or cosy up in our bar lounge during the colder months. Why not order some Piggy Bits whilst you're at it?
Time for a tipple
English Wine & West Sussex Wineries
Wine brings people together – it is the perfect blend!
We believe that wine and food are all about sharing good times with family and friends, cracking open a bottle and settling into an evening together; wine is very much at the heart of THE PIG experience. Loving local is in our DNA, and when it comes to wine we love nothing more than fruit from our own soil.
With limestone chalk soils, south-facing slopes, and one of the warmest and driest climates in the UK, the patch we call home is the perfect place for growing grape varieties found in sparkling wine.
We even have our very own vineyard here at THE PIG-in the South Downs, and the very first harvest of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Gamy took place in October 2023! Read all about it here.

Local Spirits & Liquors
Meet some of our friends found behind THE PIG Bars
-
Sapling Spirits
Sapling Spirits are our go-to vodka and gin, a spirit that adds the extra clean, creamy, and smooth taste to any tipple. Sapling are a carbon neutral, B-Corp certified, climate positive, refillable, regenerative, tree planting team of sustainability champions, who also produce some of the best Vodka and Gin in the UK - their spirits are created using local British ingredients after all!
-
Pentire Drinks
Pentire are botanical non-alcoholic spirits, based just a stone's throw away from THE PIG-at Harlyn Bay in Cornwall. Their spirits are light, refreshing and best drunk outside (preferably in the sunshine!)…and we can't get enough of them! Distilled using native plants to the Cornwall coastline, Pentire pairs perfectly with our garden-to-glass tipples that the PIG Bar Teams muddle up.
-
Two Drifters Rum
Time flies when you're having rum... especially when it's from our friends Two Drifters, who produce award winning carbon negative rum! Made with sustainability in mind, Two Drifters was brought to just 12 miles west from our Devon patch, THE PIG-at Combe. You can find Two Drifters behind any of our Bars across the PIGs, so why not try a carbon negative rum based tipple when you can next with us!
