Go-ahead for Wetherspoon pub at holiday park near Prestatyn
Haven, the owners of Presthaven Sands Holiday Park in Gronant, applied to Flintshire County Council for planning permission for this development in late 2024. The proposals involve an extension to the park's Mash and Barrel pub, which is to become The Boathouse pub under the JD Wetherspoon chain. Flintshire County Council has since approved these plans, following a recommendation to do so in a report by planning officer, Nicola Drury. A sketch of the park's proposed new Wetherspoon pub (Image: Planning documents) Haven signed an exclusive agreement with JD Wetherspoon to operate at its parks in January 2024. Last month, it revealed that new pubs will open at its sites in Devon, Lincolnshire, Kent and Northumberland in 2025, in a £6.7million investment. When contacted on Wednesday (June 4), JD Wetherspoon was unable to provide an update on the timeframe for the development. Planning agents Harrison Ince Architects Ltd wrote in a planning statement: 'The proposal aims to extend the bar's internal customer area within the main building complex, enhancing capacity to accommodate guests. 'The design creates a secure environment, fostering a safe and protective atmosphere for families to reside. 'Our proposal centres on preserving the Welsh coastal vernacular aesthetic by integrating vernacular features into an extension to the existing main complex building within the Presthaven Beach Resort. 'With a focus on energy efficiency, the design prioritises natural light and insulation principles as much as possible, aligning with contemporary standards of eco-conscious design.' A projected image of the park's proposed new Wetherspoon pub (Image: Planning documents) JD Wetherspoon operates more than 830 pubs in the UK and Ireland, and its partnership with Haven came as part of the holiday park company's £4m investment into expanding its food and beverage offerings. The first JD Wetherspoon pub at a Haven park opened at Haven Primrose Valley Holiday Park in North Yorkshire in the spring of 2024. The planning statement added: "This development not only supports the resort's growth but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and accessibility, ensuring that Presthaven Beach Resort remains a premier destination for leisure and relaxation. 'We believe this extension will contribute significantly to the local economy and community, fostering an inviting atmosphere that attracts both new and returning guests." A green infrastructure statement added: 'The proposed extension seamlessly integrates into the existing environment, incorporating high-quality materials, enhanced outdoor spaces, and sustainable design principles. 'The project at Presthaven will support ecological connectivity, water management, and community wellbeing, while aligning with Wales' environmental policies.'

JD Wetherspoon bringing back Brunch Burger for limited time
The Brunch Burger returned to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK for a limited time back in 2023 after a 10-year hiatus. It has made several brief appearances since then and is returning to menus again in 2025. But you'll have to be quick, as it will only be available for three days. The Brunch Burger will be available for one weekend only, so you'll need to be quick. (Image: JD Wetherspoon) Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger features a 100% British beef patty (6oz), American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon, fried free-range egg and topped with a hash brown made from 100% British potato. The meal includes chips, six beer-battered onion rings and a drink and will cost up to £9.99 (with a soft drink) and £11.52 (with an alcoholic drink). Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger has received high praise over the years, being described as "the best ever". One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Brunch burger is the best." Another added: "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!!" "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!! Only £7,50 with a beer" @ The Montagu Pyke (Wetherspoon): #foursquare While a third person commented: "Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger - It. Is. ACEB***S! They should have called it 'Excelsior!'" The Brunch Burger will return to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK and the Republic of Ireland for one weekend only. The burger will be available on Father's Day weekend - Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15. The return of the Brunch Burger is not the only change made to Wetherspoon menus recently. In May, the pub chain introduced four new gourmet burgers to its menu: JD Wetherspoon launched four new burgers - The Big Smoke, Buffalo, BBQ Stack and Cheese Meltdown in pubs across the UK last month. (Image: JD Wetherspoon) Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: 'We are always keen to offer our customers the widest choice of good quality meals at value-for-money prices." There have also been various other additions to the pizza, small plates and pub classic ranges at Wetherspoon pubs across the UK. But it's not all been good news for customers, with several menu items axed by Wetherspoons last month. RECOMMENDED READING: Wetherspoon removes dish customers 'lived on' from menu 'infuriating' fans Wetherspoon set to open 15 new pubs across UK (and one is coming this month) Steaks, mixed grills and gammon were removed from pub menus across the UK on May 14. This came after JD Wetherspoon was forced to remove its £6.49 chicken bites from the menu. The Wetherspoon staple features 10 crispy chicken bites, chips and an array of sauces, but was previously listed as "temporarily unavailable" on menus.
