Haven Expands JD Wetherspoon Partnership with Four New Pubs Across Holiday Parks

Haven, a prominent operator of holiday parks across the UK, has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with JD Wetherspoon

The company plans to introduce four new pubs at its parks in Cleethorpes Beach, Devon Cliffs, Kent Coast, and Haggerston Castle. 

Scheduled to open in March 2025, the new venues represent a £6.7 million investment, part of Haven’s broader £8.3 million initiative to enhance its food and beverage offerings for the upcoming year.

This expansion builds on the success of The Five Stones, a JD Wetherspoon pub opened at Haven’s Primrose Valley park in Yorkshire last year. 

Simon Palethorpe, Haven’s Chief Executive, highlighted the positive response to the initial venue to the Chronicle Live:

“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.”

Haven’s broader investments in 2024 and 2025 also include the addition of two new Burger King outlets at Hopton Holiday Park and Lakeland Holiday Park. 

Over the past five years, the company has opened 60 new venues in collaboration with its franchise partners, including notable brands like Burger King, Papa John’s, Millie’s Cookies, Slim Chickens, and Chopstix.

John Hutson, CEO of JD Wetherspoon, expressed optimism about the continued partnership

“We look forward to the opening of the four new Wetherspoon pubs at Haven holiday parks. Our pub at Primrose Valley has proven a great success, and we are confident that the four new pubs will be welcomed by guests and owners.”

Haven, which operates 41 holiday parks across England, Scotland, and Wales, was acquired by Blackstone in 2021. 

Since then, it has invested over £410 million to modernize and upgrade its facilities, reinforcing its commitment to providing exceptional holiday experiences for guests and homeowners.
