One millionth meal sold in Haven JD Wetherspoons

  • Milestone reached just 2 years after first Haven JD Wetherspoon opened
  • “Wetherspoon’s Big Breakfast” most popular meal
  • £16m invested by Haven to create JD Wetherspoons so far

Haven, the UK's leading holiday park operator, has sold its one millionth JD Wetherspoon meal just two years after the first JD Wetherspoon pub opened at a Haven park.

Haven’s Primrose Valley site near Filey in North Yorkshire opened in spring 2024, marking the start of the exclusive partnership between the popular pub group and Haven. 

Four more opened in 2025: at Cleethorpes Beach in Lincolnshire, Devon Cliffs near Exmouth, Devon, Kent Coast near Rochester, Kent and Haggerston Castle, near Berwick in Northumberland. A further four opened earlier this year at Cala Gran in Blackpool, Hopton, near Great Yarmouth, Lakeland in south Cumbria and Riviere Sands, Cornwall.

Guests have enjoyed more than 365,000 breakfasts, 57,000 deli lunches and 578,000 dinners.

The Wetherspoon large breakfast - consisting of two fried eggs, bacon, two Lincolnshire sausages, baked beans, three hash browns, mushrooms and two slices of toast - is the top pick, with coffee ranking among the highest-selling items overall. Soft drinks are also a hit with holidaymakers, with Pepsi Max the number one choice, and family favourites such as kids' side chips, apple bags and Yoyo Bear snacks consistently proving popular.

Stella Artois leads draught lager sales at Kent Coast, Primrose Valley, Haggerston Castle, Lakeland, Cala Gran and Cleethorpes Beach. Thatchers Gold Cider is the fan favourite at Devon Cliffs and Riviere Sands, and Coldwater Creek Pinot Grigio is the tipple of choice for holidaymakers at Hopton, in Norfolk.

Simon Palethorpe, CEO, Haven said:

"Reaching one million meals sold in our Haven JD Wetherspoon pubs this quickly is a fantastic achievement and really shows just how popular the pubs are with our guests and owners. We’re very proud of each of our Wetherspoon pubs and look forward to opening many more in the coming years."

Tim Martin, JD Wetherspoon Founder and Chairman said:

We are delighted with the success of our pubs at Haven holiday parks. Since the first one opened at Primrose Valley in March 2024, the nine pubs have proved extremely popular with guests. We are delighted that 1,000,000 meals have been served in the pubs and look forward to the next million being enjoyed.

Haven has invested £16 million in the pubs, with each one having a name and a unique carpet design reflecting the local heritage.  635 team are required to operate the pubs during busy periods.
