More holiday park JD Wetherspoon pubs announced
The move comes a year after the pub operator announced that it would open its first on-site location at a UK holiday park, with the arrival of a venue at Haven Primrose Valley Holiday Park in North Yorkshire.
When the commercial partnership between Wetherspoons and Haven was announced, it was suggested that The Five Stones, as the Primrose Valley pub is called, would not be the last at a Haven holiday park.
Now, four more Haven holiday parks will receive their own Wetherspoons pubs this spring: The Red Rocks at the Devon Cliffs park, The London Stone at Kent Coast, The Humber Stone at Cleethorpes Beach in Lincolnshire, and The Sir Thomas Haggerston at Haggerston Castle in Northumberland.
The £6.7m investment in these four new pubs makes up the vast majority of the £8.3m Haven is spending on developing its food and beverage offerings this year.
Haven chief executive Simon Palethorpe said that he was “delighted” at the expansion of the partnership with Wetherspoons: “The success of The Five Stones at Primrose Valley reflects our ongoing efforts to grow and enhance our food and beverage partnerships and offerings, and we look forward to bringing this experience to even more locations across the UK for our guests and holiday homeowners to enjoy.”
According to Haven, some 168,000 draught pints, 25,000 bottles of beer and cider, 200,000 soft drinks and 314,000 main meals were served at The Five Stones last year.
Wetherspoons chief executive John Hutson said that was “confident” that the four new pubs would “be welcomed by guests and owners”.
