Ready your G&Ts, because World Gin Day is upon us – and here at The Blue Bell Inn, we’re raising a glass to local craft heroes… namely our pals at Chichester Harbour Gin.
🎉 Why we’re all about World Gin Day this year
World Gin Day isn’t just a great excuse for bottomless G&Ts – it’s a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and community. And what better way to mark the day than by championing a local, small‑batch distillery that’s literally inspired by the shores of Chichester Harbour?
What makes Chichester Harbour Gin special
Chichester Harbour Gin is the brainchild of passionate local producers who handcraft their gin in small batches using botanicals foraged from the harbour’s edge. Think juniper, seaweed and bay leaf – all local flavours, all bursting with character.
By using seaweed they pick from Chichester’s wild and untouched coastline, they’re blending maritime magic with traditional gin botanicals – giving each sip a real sense of place .
Why local gin matters
Supporting local suppliers like Chichester Harbour Gin means:
- Sustainability – fresh, locally‑foraged botanicals = low food‑mile footprint
- Community – you’re boosting local jobs and small‑scale producers
- Unique taste – you’re getting gin with a story; each bottle captures the salty, breezy, wild heart of our harbour
How you can join the party
Pop into The Blue Bell Inn on World Gin Day and treat yourself to:
- Special G&T menu featuring Chichester Harbour Gin
- Paired nibbles to bring out those seaweed undertones
- Limited‑edition cocktails like the Chichester Harbour Fizz – think gin, lemon, fizz – simple but succulent
Let’s toast to local legends
So this World Gin Day, let’s ditch the supermarket plonk and raise our glasses to local legend, Chichester Harbour Gin. It’s about flavour, community, and champions of the coast – right here on our doorstep in Emsworth.
Pop in, sip slowly, and celebrate the spirit of our local coastline. We can’t wait to gin and grin with you!
