Planning meals on holiday can be stressful! Between keeping everyone happy and managing a budget, food often becomes a source of worry rather than enjoyment.
But what if you could simply walk to a restaurant just minutes from your accommodation and let someone else handle the cooking?
At Haven holiday parks across the UK, dining out is part of the experience.
Every park features family-friendly restaurants and well-known brands on site. Choose to cook in your self-catering accommodation or enjoy meals at one of the many food outlets available.
Haven has invested heavily in dining facilities across their 38 coastal parks with most locations now featuring multiple dining options, including Haven's own restaurants like The Mash and Barrel, Coast House and The Brigs of Ayr.
You'll also find popular high street names with Burger King operating at many parks, making it easy to grab a quick meal between activities. Papa John's, Cook's Fish and Chips and Chopstix Noodle Bar are also available at selected locations and some parks even have J D Wetherspoon pubs.
The headline offer? Kids eat for just £1 at most Haven parks when you buy an adult main meal. This deal includes dishes from both the kids' breakfast menu and main menu. It's available at the main restaurants (not including J D Wetherspoon venues).
What does the £1 kids' meal include? Choose from Mini Traditional Breakfast, Kids' Yoghurt & Fresh Fruit, Kids' Pancakes & Fruit, Kids' Beans on Toast, Kids' Scrambled Eggs or any main dish from the kids' food menu. The offer excludes Kids' Sunday Roast and desserts.
For families watching their budget this makes dining out remarkably affordable. Two adults and two children can enjoy breakfast and dinner without breaking the bank.
Start your day with a full English breakfast featuring eggs, sausages, bacon, beans and mushrooms. Something lighter? You'll also find cereals, yoghurt and fresh fruit. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffets at Haven restaurants give you freedom to fill up before a busy day of activities.
Evening dining offers proper choice. Haven restaurant menus feature jacket potatoes, fish dishes and traditional roasts alongside other favourites. Children's portions are available so everyone in the family can find something they enjoy.
The atmosphere in Haven restaurants feels relaxed and welcoming. You're surrounded by other families on holiday so there's no pressure. Kids can be kids while you actually enjoy your meal.
Haven has introduced designated dog-friendly dining areas in the main restaurants at their 33 dog-friendly parks. Your four-legged family members can join you for breakfast, lunch and dinner with water bowls provided.
The majority of dining spaces remain dog-free for guests who prefer it.
Don't feel like going out? Several food outlets can be ordered through the My Haven app. You can arrange for meals to be delivered directly to your holiday home or collect them yourself.
If you're considering where to stay, Craig Tara in Scotland stands out as one of Haven's most impressive parks. Set in the rolling hills of Ayrshire, this location offers stunning sea views over the Isle of Arran.
The dining facilities at Craig Tara include The Brigs of Ayr restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with spectacular coastal views. Burger King and Papa John's provide quick meal options, while Cook's Fish and Chips delivers that essential seaside experience. For dessert, Bertie's Ice Cream offers flavours to suit every taste.
Craig Tara provides varied accommodation options. You can choose from Saver caravans if you're watching the pennies, or upgrade to Bronze, Silver and Gold caravans for extra space and features. Signature caravans guarantee sea views from their hillside positions.
The park also offers self-catering apartments, perfect for families who want a bit more room. For ultimate luxury, Diamond and Emerald lodges provide spacious living areas and premium facilities. Many accommodation types are dog-friendly so your pets can come along.
Eating at Haven parks means restaurants are within easy walking distance of all the entertainment. After dinner you can head straight to the evening shows, catch the kids' disco or enjoy adult entertainment once the little ones are settled.
The convenience of on-site dining removes one of the biggest holiday stresses. No searching for restaurants in unfamiliar towns. No worrying about whether they'll have high chairs or if they'll welcome children. Everything you need is right there on the park.
When booking your Haven holiday, think about how you want to approach meals. Self-catering gives you complete flexibility to cook when you fancy it. But having restaurants and takeaways available means you're never stuck if you don't feel like cooking.
Many families find a mix works best. Cook breakfast in your accommodation, grab lunch from one of the food outlets, then enjoy dinner at a restaurant. Or reverse it. The beauty of Haven parks is the choice.
Check what's available at your chosen park before you go. While most locations have similar facilities, some parks have additional options or special restaurants. The My Haven app will show you menus and allow you to pre-order meals.
Haven operates parks across the UK coastline. Yorkshire parks like Blue Dolphin and Primrose Valley offer similar dining facilities with their own character. Down in Devon, Devon Cliffs combines excellent restaurants with a spectacular clifftop location.
Cornwall parks such as Perran Sands let you enjoy local seafood alongside Haven's standard menus. In Wales, Hafan y Mor and Kiln Park provide Welsh coastal settings with full dining facilities.
Every Haven park guarantees a heated indoor pool, entertainment venue and family-friendly restaurant close to the coast. Most parks offer the Kids Eat for £1 deal, though it's worth checking specific terms for your chosen location.
Family holidays should be about spending time together, not stressing over meals. Haven's approach to dining gives you options without the hassle. Whether you want to eat breakfast overlooking the sea at The Brigs of Ayr or grab fish and chips before an evening show, it's all there waiting.
The combination of self-catering accommodation and excellent restaurant facilities means you control your holiday experience. Cook when you want to. Eat out when you fancy it. The choice is yours.
Haven holidays put families first. From the £1 kids' meals to dog-friendly dining areas, they've thought about what makes family dining work. And when your restaurant is just a short walk from your caravan, even getting the kids there for dinner becomes easy.
