As we’d read good things about the place on here, and needed a bit of a pick-me-up due to having a few drinks the night before, we decided to head there for breakfast. View is lovely, and the cafe interior is really nice. The place was busy when we arrived and there were only two empty tables, so we cleared one for ourselves and sat down. We ordered cooked breakfasts and hot drinks. We had about a 30 minute wait before anything arrived at our table. Usually I’d expect the drinks to arrive first, especially if there’s a bit of a wait for the food, but the drinks arrived with/slightly after the food. This did mean we were sat with nothing for half an hour, with a bit of a thirst on. The breakfasts were ok. The bacon and black pudding were nice, beans and tomato just as you’d expect (although you get a slice of tomato, rather than a whole one, which seems a bit tight). The sausages, however, were the cheapest, nastiest sausages I have ever had the misfortune to eat, and I’m surprised they’ve not addressed this, as it’s been mentioned in reviews before. I wasn’t expecting locally produced or butcher’s sausages, but these were just horrid. The mushrooms had seen better days, and those and the hash brown and fried egg just tasted of old cooking oil. Kids had toasties and chunky chips which looked quite nice. Cheese in the toasties was also a bit cheap-tasting but the kids didn’t mind that! Service was fine, staff seemed polite enough. We spent just under £50 for two adults and two kids, which was a lot considering the cheapness of the ingredients. I wouldn’t personally return.

been here today 1st September with my family 3 young children two age 2 and one age 4, behind the counter staff were amazing so nice and friendly too all of us here even friendly with the kids, the woman who works in the kitchen came out a few times to tell our kids to be quite, shouting at the kids for screaming with excited at the ducks, the last time she came out she told me the kids were making to much noise because i was tickling them and they were laughing to loud, i then went on to speak to her after food and she put the phone down when i told her to get some respect for her customers and children then go there, we go here at least once a month and it’s such a shame!!

This cafe is amazing , I have been taking my elderly mam here for the last few months , today my elderly neighbour joined us I had told her the food is amazing , she was very impressed and said she will definatly return . Cafe is spotless , staff are friendly and helpful and the food is gorgeous . It was nearly closing time , but staff never rushed us and chatted as they tidied up , one girl put the hoover on and I presume it was the owner asked her to turn it off as we were still finishing up , genuinly impressed . If you want homemade food , a lovely view and staff who go that one step beyond then this is the cafe to go too .

Went to Pier 22 for breakfast with a mate and pleased to say that it hasn’t changed, in fact it was even better than I remembered. Nice clean and bright atmosphere overlooking the river and excellent friendly service! We had the normal size breakfast and it was very well cooked and presented and price includes a pot of tea and toast! Big breakfast is the same only you get twice as much….wow…you need to be hungry! Definitely worth a visit and probably the cheapest breakfast around! Beware…CASH only…no cards!!

We didn’t get the friendliest welcome as we stood at the door waiting to be seated (as per the sign). Service was on the surly side, had to wait ages for drinks and had to ask for the table to be cleaned even though the place wasn’t full. The breakfast was lovely and piping hot but the service has put me off for now.

Yes the food is decent but the whole experience was spoiled by the surly borderline rude staff. The young waitress who brought my meal was the exception as she managed a smile.I was overcharged and didn't get what I ordered or paid for. Unpleasant will not return.

My family and I visit Pier 22 every Saturday morning for breakfast and my parents regularly visit during the week when out and about. There are lots of reasons why we keep going back. Here are the main reasons: 1. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. 2. The coffee is piping hot and not bitter (as coffee usually is from many other cafe's).3. The food is freshly made on the premises. 4. The breakfasts are very hot on a hot plate and cleanly presented. 5. They have an extensive menu. 6. The prices are very reasonable.7. The view across the river provides a lovely, relaxing start to the day. I would strongly recommend a visit.

I ordered a full English breakfast for £6 and the ladies at the counter were very welcoming and friendly. The toilet facilities were spotless and they even have baby changing facilities. Breakfast was piping hot - not always easy with an English breakfast, and everything was a cooked well. The slice of black pudding was perfect but could have been bigger. Lots of places over cook this item but this was superb. There were three rashers of bacon and a nice hash brown. The single thin slice of tomato was very disappointing, as was the awful quality of the sausage (very cheap and processed!) only one slice of toast ( a bit miserly) and a small pot of tea!!!! This is not an older English tea room so why do they not serve a proper large mug. No way was I going to extend my little pinky whilst drinking it. Overall, really very good but never going to get give stars due to the basic faults. Final fault - bakes beans in a little pot on the side!!! What is that all about??? Working mans breakfast spoilt by trying to be a bit too arty and up market. It’s not needed - it’s a fry up!

Having been told about this slightly out of the way Cafe, it was time to try it out. First, not that difficult to find, secondly extremely pleasant views of the river whilst eating at anytime if the day. The staff are both, young and old, extremely polite and courteous, we enjoyed a hearty "Full English" and "Eggs Benedict". Both cooked fresh, tasty and free of the deadly grease trappings sometimes seen with breakfasts. They serve all day, and do take aways. A must for a few more visits.

I thought having a cafe so close to where I work was brilliant...until I visited.The staff are rude and uninterested, they get orders wrong all the time, they have terrible time keeping and the staff would rather stand and flirt with the builders who happen to be working locally.They once delivered an order to our office for breakfast and missed off half the order, but took all the money. Because of this we decided to get breakfast deliveries from another local cafe. Today, as the delivery man (and his young son) from a different cafe came with our order, a member of staff from Pier 22 started shouting and screaming and the man and his son about how 'This is their turf' basically.They are entirely unprofessional and if you want to have a sub-standard lunch that takes longer than your lunch hour to prepare, then go ahead try Pier 22. I certainly will NOT be returning to this "cafe".

Like another review I too am gluten free, can't understand why you couldn't find anything to eat I just asked the team who then brought over the owner who suggested a jacket potato I had it with prawns and a salad it was delicious, I admit they didn't have any cake suitable to have with my cuppa but as she explained they were closing all over the holidays and running down the stock. I will be back in the new year to try another suitable meal, I think perhaps a salad as they looked gorgeous.

Stumbled across this place on Tripadvisor when looking for somewhere to enjoy a leisurely Saturday breakfast - and what a hidden gem. Prices are low, portions are plentiful & it was so relaxing watching the rowers on the river that this will certainly be our first choice for another weekend treat.

Met my hubby from work for lunch here. Bright and breezy cafe on the riverside serving good quality reasonably priced food. It was busy and clearly popular with the locals. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed a great Parmo - a Teesside special of flattened breaded chicken covered in cheesy béchamel sauce. Service was quick so we were able to get back to work on time. Will definitely go again.

The breakfasts are one of the best.Great value too.It can get busy but that just shows you how good the places.You can also takeaway sandwiches.I like to eat in and watch the boats on the Tees.

Pier 22 is a little cafe tucked away near the River Tees in Thornaby. The food is all home made and very tasty. I really like the Chilli Wraps with home made chips and side salad. This family run cafe is very clean and well maintained. If your looking for some where to go for lunch or just for a coffee, I would recommend you try Pier 22

I visited Pier 22 for a working lunch. I ordered a Chicken Parmo with chips, a capuccino and an orange juice. The coffee was served quite quickly and was very nice. I read the paper, sent a few e-mails. After about 25 minutes waiting i noticed that people who had arrived after me had been served , eaten and left. I asked if the food was long to be told it shouldn't be. After a further 15 minutes wait (40 minutes in total) i had to leave to get back to work My parmo still hadn't arrived. Had i been told i faced such a long wait on ordering , i would have chosen something else. For a cafe that seems to depend on local office workers i don't see how they can justify such long wait times. Very disappointing.

We regularly go for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it is always fantastic. Great value, choice and service - you would be hard pushed to find anywhere better for a decent, quality breakfast!

The Vane Arms is in a beautiful setting. On my visit, the place is lovely with a great outside space, the menu is varied and food really tasty. What made my visit worth 5 stars were the fab staff , Chris and George. Friendly, helpful and generally great guys. Thank you
