It forms part of the civil parish of Patrington and was historically called Havenside and had a port on the haven, an arm of water that stretched south towards the North Channel of the Humber estuary (now known as Winestead Drain).[1] The port was closed in 1869 due to siltation of the channels which made the watercourses not able to be navigated by boats.[2] The hamlet has a pub called the Burns Head that is directly opposite the village green with the pond stocked with fish
The village of Patrington just 1 mile (1.6 km) away is dominated by its church known locally as "The Queen of Holderness".[3] Surrounding the church are four public houses, and a fifth public house in Patrington Haven itself.
In Patrington Haven is an established 5 Star Award Winning Leisure Park called "Patrington Haven Leisure Park".[4] The leisure park was established around 1985 when the RAF Station Patrington closed and the land purchased by the leisure park. In June 2013 a memorial sculpture to the RAF station was unveiled at the site.[5]
The village was visited by the Beatles in November 1963[6] before playing a gig in nearby Hull. The fab four enjoyed a pint and sing-song in the Burns Head pub before returning to Hull.
Spurn Point with its bird sanctuary is supported by the RSPB and is a few miles south-east of Patrington Haven village.[7]
