Haven's Riviere Sands Holiday Park opens its doors to new J D Wetherspoon pub, The Bluff
- The Bluff, a new J D Wetherspoon pub at Haven’s Riviere Sands Holiday Park in Cornwall, opened on Friday at 8am
- Haven’s Lakeland, Hopton and Cala Gran holiday parks have seen new J D Wetherspoon pubs open this spring
Haven, the UK’s leading holiday park operator, with 39 parks in prime coastal locations, officially opened its doors to its latest on‑park J D Wetherspoon pub, ‘The Bluff’ at its Rivere Sands Holiday Park in Hayle, Cornwall.
Brand new for spring this year, three other onsite J D Wetherspoon pubs have launched at Lakeland in Cumbria, Hopton in Norfolk and Cala Gran in Blackpool following a £9 million investment.
During the peak summer season, more than 60 team members will be working at the new venue, which can accommodate up to 380 guests.
The Bluff will serve breakfast from 8am and remain open until midnight Monday to Sunday in July and August, and until 11pm from March to June and September to November. The bar will serve real ale, a range of wines, craft beers and cocktails, while the food menu will feature traditional breakfasts, fish and chips, burgers and pizzas.
Darren Hiscock, General Manager, Haven Riviere Sands said, “This is a fantastic addition to Riviere Sands Holiday Park and something we know our guests and owners have been eagerly anticipating. We’re thrilled to kick off the season by opening the doors to our brand new pub.”
The Bluff retains its original name which refers to the steep bank or cliff edge where the venue is located, offering prominent views over the coastline.
As is traditional, the pub features a unique carpet design inspired by the locality, reflecting the Hayle Estuary, the town’s industrial heritage, and the diverse flora and fauna of the Cornish coastline.
