Libations
Bottled, brewed, shaken, stirred, or pulled—every drink has its story.
At the Hollist Arms, drinks aren’t just served. They’re curated, crafted, and occasionally argued over. We believe a proper drink should earn its place on the table—whether it's a pint pulled from a local cask, a gin mixed with something green and herby from the garden, or a glass of something wild and rare from the foothills of Sicily.
Our list is a celebration of the things that quench and comfort.
-
Beers from Sussex barns and Basque taps.
-
Cocktails mixed by Anna, whose pours are precise and whose garnish game borders on the cinematic.
-
Wines chosen not just for their notes, but for their stories—every bottle a passport to someone’s hillside, vineyard, or cellar dream.
We favour small producers, bold ideas, and quiet mastery. Some drinks are strong. Some are subtle. All are honest.
And if you don’t know where to start, ask us. We’ve got opinions.
