A PIONEERING, POETIC SINGLE MALT FOR BURNS NIGHT With a FREE dram to celebrate! There is not an evening more lyrical than January 25th, when laddies and lassies from across the globe come together in celebration of Burns Night. This traditional knees-up is, of course, a tribute to the national bard himself, as well as an occasion to experience the best of Scottish fare.
If you've banished the booze this month then the good news is we've got you've covered with an incredible range of softies this January.
Young's chef Matteo Perra share's one of his childhood favourite winter soup recipes, Cavolo nero, pinenuts, dill, pickled ginger soup.
We are delighted to celebrate a selection of seasonal winter specials across our pubs, meaning there’s even more reason to love your local this winter. This recipe from Young's Development Chef Matteo Perra is cosy and warm, perfect for those cold January days.
With the end of 2021 nigh, December promises to be a month of low-key festive celebrations. Whether that’s small gatherings in pub gardens or intimate household meals in pub restaurants, one thing is clear - we will all be spending a lot more time outside this festive season!
Young's development chef Matteo Perra share's an autumn recipe to WOW your guests, whole roasted Gressingham Duck.

Pubs are a central part of British culture. Pubs are places where we go to be with others and where we go to escape. Where we go for that familiar sound of a busy night with its chorus of voices and laughter and stories and opinions, and where we go for quiet in the afternoon.
The time has (finally!) come to get together at the bar and what better way to celebrate than with a pint? As nothing quite beats that feeling of a cold beer in your hand, the next round is on us, as we celebrate the return of the pub by treating 30,000 of our On Tap app users to a pint* this July.

Remember pre Covid and all those different elements that used to encompass our ‘normal’ life? Truly missed by us humans? Like all of us, I remember the spontaneity of a peaceful hour at a local coffee shop, sipping a frothy and delicious Cappuccino whilst reading my latest book (only just that second purchased from Waterstones and still with that distinctive new book smell). Or how wonderful it was to grab last minute tickets to a gig and frantically WhatsApp my friends to announce my success and ask who was free to join me in that spontaneous gesture of fun and friendship! But mainly – and regularly – let's not forget (as if) the many times I used to grab a colleague or friend and dash to the pub after a busy day - come rain or shine - to share a bottle of wine or alcohol-free beer. OH! Those early evening drinks or (sometimes very late) suppers to wind away those midweek hours in my most natural habitat and much-loved environment – the great British Pub!
