North Coast Wine Lounge Joins the Club!

Cup Club Bude officially launched at North Coast Wine Lounge, marking another proud step forward for our town’s circular movement.

North Coast Wine has become one of Bude’s most-loved independent spaces – a place for good wine, excellent cocktails and exceptional coffee. We are very excited to have such an iconic business joining Cup Club Bude – they’re showing that they’re serious about making a real difference in Bude.

Why North Coast Wine Joining Matters

Cafés and coffee shops have long played a role in our reuse story – extending the scheme to venues like North Coast Wine opens the door for even more opportunities for people to choose reuse. Whether you pop in for a morning flat white or a lunchtime chai, you’ll now see a beautiful stack of Cup Club Bude cups behind the counter.

This partnership means:

• Fewer single-use cups entering Bude’s waste stream
• Less pressure on local bins and beach cleans
• More shared responsibility across our community
• More people discovering how easy it is to borrow, enjoy, return, repeat!

What the Launch Looked Like

We set up with our pop-up station, chatted with customers, explained how the scheme works, and celebrated this milestone with the North Coast Wine team. The welcome was warm, the energy was high, and the conversations reminded us why we do this work: people want to do better for Bude, and they’re proud to be part of something bigger than themselves.

North Coast Wine has always championed high-quality, local, thoughtful choices. Their decision to join Cup Club Bude fits perfectly with their ethos and it sends a strong message:
sustainability isn’t a separate “thing”; it’s part of everyday life.

When businesses lead with their values, customers follow. And when customers get on board, whole communities shift.

How You Can Get Involved

If you’re popping by North Coast Wine, here’s how simple it is:

1. Order your drink in a Cup Club Bude reusable cup
2. Pay the small, refundable deposit
3. Return the cup to North Coast Wine or any participating location in Bude
4. Get your deposit back or borrow another cup – easy!

Thank You, North Coast Wine

We’re so grateful to Maria and Phil, and the whole team for backing our mission and helping build a cleaner, greener, more circular Bude. These partnerships are what make community-powered change possible.

Together, we’re proving that reuse works – and that Bude is leading the way.
