A Hove business with a focus on gin is looking to open another venue in a former Worthing church.

Brighton Bars Limited, which runs the Gin Tub on Church Street, in Hove, is looking to open up at the former St James’ Church, in Worthing

The company is currently applying for an alcohol licence at 10 High Street – the former home of Alehouse & Kitchen, next to Saints and Sinners.

It is thought that two separate businesses will be created at the venue going forward.

If it moves to the venue, The Gin Tub will become one of a number of Brighton and Hove based food and drink establishments which have expanded into the town.

This includes the Laughing Dog, Brighton Road, and Cases, in the Montague Quarter.

Worthing Borough Council is currently considering the licensing application and is running a consultation on its website until September 8.

The Gin Tub is seeking permission to open and serve alcohol between 11am and 1am Mondays to Wednesdays, and 11am to 2am Thursdays to Sundays.

If a licence is granted, live music would be allowed between 6pm and 11pm, seven days a week.

A decision is due to be made by early October.
