Community & Giving
The Bank has been part of Bude for over a decade, and we like to give back to the town that supports us. From local sport and charity to free family events, here’s a little of what we get up to beyond the kitchen and the bar.
The Bank Reef & Bude Sea Pool
We donate 5% of every Bank Reef cocktailwe sell to Bude Sea Pool — the much-loved tidal pool on Summerleaze Beach, cared for by Friends of Bude Sea Pool (registered charity no. 1143156). Order our tropical signature serve and you’re helping keep it open and free for everyone.
