Chopstix partners with Haven Holiday Parks

The QSR brand operates 80 locations across the UK and Ireland, with 25 franchise sites run through partnerships with the likes of Welcome Break and Applegreen

UK holiday operator, Haven, has partnered with Asian QSR brand, Chopstix, to bring its offering to holiday park guests this year.

The agreement, which marks the first foray into holiday parks for Chopstix, will see the first site open at Haven’s Craig Tara park in Ayrshire at the end of the month, with plans to roll out to a number of other parks in the near future. 

Under the agreement, Haven will oversee the full management of the sites, but it will be a collaborative process with all employees undergoing a full Chopstix induction so that they can truly embed themself in the ethos of the brand. 

Cain Savazzi, food and beverage director for Haven, said: “We are constantly looking at ways to improve our guest food and beverage experience and introduce new dining experiences, and we’ve been looking for a pan-Asian option for some time. Chopstix are the perfect partner for us, and we’re looking forward to opening at Craig Tara very soon.”

The site at Craig Tara will sell all of Chopstix’s favourite dishes. Customers select their base, picking from golden noodles, skinny rice or egg-fried rice, before choosing from a wide range of Pan-Asian favourites for their toppings, including Teriyaki Beef, Sweet Chilli Prawns, and Caramel Drizzle Chicken, as well as sides ranging from Spring Rolls to Chicken Balls, Prawn Crackers, and Salt ‘n’ Pepper Potatoes. 

Jon Lake, managing director of Chopstix, said: “Like Haven, CHOPSTIX is loved by people of all ages and backgrounds, and we’re looking forward to welcoming kids, parents and grandparents to dine with us at Craig Tara. We’re excited about this partnership and the prospect of growing our footprint across other Haven parks in the future.”

Chopstix co-founder, Menashe Sadik, added: “When Sam and I first started selling noodles on Camden Market, we never dreamed that we’d end up with a site on a holiday park in Scotland! This partnership is a testament to how far the CHOPSTIX brand has come, and I’m so proud of this partnership.”
