Our Blog

Our heart-of-the-community pub is one of a kind in West London.

Get to know us

Welcome to our community blog. Get ready to dive into the stories and history behind our carefully chosen seasonal ingredients and go behind the scenes of our events that help bring our community closer. Our seasonal ingredients aren’t just tasty additions to our dishes; they’re a taste of tradition, quality, and champion the harvest of each season, sourced from the bounty of the British Isles. Come along behind the scenes as we spill the beans on what it’s really like to be West London’s favourite local. From our much heralded events to hosting unforgettable milestones, our blog is your insider’s guide to community life at The Coach.

Earth Day 2024

To celebrate Earth Day this year, we’re joining the official Planet vs Plastics initiative!

All week, we’re hosting a raffle with lots of gorgeous goodies, from locally sourced, sustainably produced ingredients used in our every day recipes, to bottles of gin and reusable straws.

Pop in to get your tickets any time between now and Sunday 28th April. Just £1 per entry, you can purchase as many as you’d like, and 100% of proceeds will be going to charity.

Plymouth Gin & the Ocean Conservation Trust

We have partnered with our pals at Plymouth Gin for the third year running, to raise money for the Ocean Conservation Trust this April and May. All pubs at Young’s are promising a pledge of 50p per Plymouth sold – whether that’s a classic G&T or one of our new, refreshing Hugo Spritzes!

Their sustainability efforts don’t stop there though. You can read all about our conservation collaboration here, or simply stop by and have a chat with the team.

Recycling is exciting

Through our partnership with Suez (our waste management partner) all Young’s commercial waste is diverted from landfill – you can find further information on this amazing dedication in our ‘Wasteless Pub’ video here.
All of our cooking oil from Young’s pubs is collected regularly and transformed into biodiesel.
All our Nespresso coffee pods are collected and recycled with the capsules reused to make into everyday items whilst the coffee grounds are used for creating compost.

Reducing single use plastics

All Young’s pubs are on the Refill App, meaning that anyone can come in and have their water bottle refilled for free helping to reduce plastic consumption.
To eliminate the use of single use plastics, we’ve introduced our strong, reusable plastic cups which can be used for special events and in our pub gardens for when glass isn’t suitable.
We’ve replaced single use toiletries bottles in our pubs with rooms with reusable ones, cutting down on our plastic consumption with our chosen brand Bramley who are Vegan Society approved and animal cruelty free.
