Pier Red in Northumberland

Normally we have a lovely time at Pier Red and the food is delicious. Today we went to this beau venue and I arrived before my husband - ordered a bottle of Prosecco which we do whenever we visit. The table to the side of us had some food delivered to their table. We went to order and were informed only cakes available. We were not informed on arrival that food would be stopped at a certain time nor any notice on the door. If we had of known no food then we would have gone elsewhere and spent our money.. I understand that Joanne you had a meeting on site but you need to respect your customers too. Diane

The place is atmospheric and the coffee was good. But £10 minimum card payment that you only find out about when you have ordered your coffee?

Had a late lunch with the family. Rang and asked if they had space for 8 of us. Walked in 10 mins later and walked out after having some delicious food. Kids had soft baguettes and adults ordered some slates as shown in the picture. Lovely atmosphere great service from the two women serving. Will defo be going back. They even do Tapas nights which I think we will attend next time.

Lovely cafe. Delicious scones. Top quality, strong coffee. Pleasant staff. Lovely atmosphere. Nice decor. Will revisit.

Went to this coffee shops on many occasions and always very good, until today. Went in and sat down. Another 3 groups arrived and were obviously known to the host, as he continually chated to one man the whole time he was making coffee. We were ignored. No-one came to take our order although the other 3 tables were served. We had been sitting for almost 20 minutes and decided to leave. I did advise the man serving that if he was more observant he would not be losing custom and why we were leaving. No apology. Will never go back.

Popped in on a hot day for a cold drink and cake, lovely staff with a great atmosphere to the place! Fantastic cake.

We stopped off in Berwick and decided to have a quick spot of lunch. Wow, what a find , everything was amazing and everyone was extremely friendly. The vegetarian quiche was utterly incredible. Great place to visit with it's beautiful chandelier adding a touch of opulence. Home baking too. Recommended.

Great, inviting, welcoming wine bar cafe.. fantastic birthday afternoon! Most Definitely returning ASAP! ❤️

Great, friendly service with tasty food. Menu was fairly limited but what we ordered was delicious.

This is one of the most relaxed venues you can find in the Borders. Most places standards drop. But not here. Their chocolate and morello brownies are to die for... We also love their soups. Everything is made from scratch and never mass produced. Around once or twice a month, they also have a supper menu which you can sign up for. Great place.

Super little restaurant & bar just down from the railway station in the way into the town. Friendly fun atmosphere everyone made to feel very welcome by Joanne proprietor. Fab spot to meet with family & friends pre Christmas drinks.

Really friendly and nice cakes and scones

Great coffee. Dogs welcome. The best coffee and walnut cake I have ever had. Lovely and welcoming and great loos.

A colleague and I visited here for a lunch before a meeting. Lovely ambience, food was good, staff were helpful and attentive, so can throughly recommend you paying a visit. All in all a place worth noting for future visits

waitress sooo nice and helpful and food was delicious. I'll be back soon.

Arrived just as they were setting up for evening service looking for coffee and cake. Despite having cleared away their cakes they allowed us to see what they had and choose some. Great coffee, cakes and brilliant service. We'll definitely be going back for a meal.

Pier Red was lovely bistro staff were very friendly and helpful had a lovely day there drinks and nibbles

Called a couple of times while on holiday in Berwick. Lovely atmosphere and attentive service. Limited menu but what was on offer was excellent quality food at a fair price. If your in the area, call in. You wont be disappointed.

Very friendly owner and absolutely delicious Cheese board that is priced very reasonably. Definitely going back with family and friends

Stopped in here for lunch on the way to Edinburgh. Nice little cafe and the food and service was great. Well worth us leaving the main road to grab a bite here.

My husband and I called in at lunchtime and chose a seat in the window. We were a little apprehensive about what to expect as there was only two other tables occupied but we needn’t have worried. It was a real treat. It is not a vast lunch menu but we were still spoilt for choice. I went for a cheese and chutney wrap while my husband had salmon pate and oat biscuits. Not being too busy the meals soon arrived and they were delicious. Although, from the outside, it looked as it it could be pricey but we found the prices reasonable. We will definitely return.

Super coffee shop nicely decorated and very clean facilities. Can be an evening bar as well. Lovely seating. Well patronised locally.

Fantastic food and brilliant service would recommend anybody calling here

Lovely decorated coffee shop. Evening bar if needed

This has just got to be the most terrible so called 'cafe' in Northumberland. The staff are truly appalling as is the food. When we complained a most objectionable man was simply rude. AVOID.

Went to our first tapas evening at Pier Red and really enjoyed it. This times theme was Asian with Teriyaki Cauliflower, crispy Pork, spring roll, chicken Bao buns, rice, noodles and prawn crackers. All washed down with a great value Prosecco, ice cream and a very well made cappuccino. Have been for lunch too and enjoyed that as well. Recommended

Welcoming cafe with good decor and service. Good coffee and cake too

Cannot recommend enough. We stopped off on our way home after doing the north coast 500 in a motor home-it was the best food we’d had all week! It looked so inviting from the outside and was warm and cosy inside, beautiful decor and lighting and was incredibly clean. It didn’t matter that there wasn’t a huge menu because the food was outstanding. Crayfish in a brioche sub and a chicken naanwhich just perfection. The owner and her Mum were lovely, impeccable hosts, really friendly and they really deserve for this venture to be a success. They had only been open 3 weeks but it felt like a confident, successful business already. Will definitely return!

So much better since Joanne took over. Made a great job of the revamp. We'll done big step.

Weather is a drink , light bite or evening meal Pier Red is the perfect location & a must if visiting Berwick upon Tweed. We enjoyed a bottle of pink champagne with a light lunch followed by some beautiful home baked cake. Excellent venue , lovely food , friendly service well stocked bar & its dog friendly. Reasonably priced we simply couldn’t fault it

Not the first time .. I will be back

We stumbled across this place enroute to Edinburgh and what a joy. Tastefully decorated with a lovely lunch menu- food was lovely and a surprisingly lovely Chilean Sav (I’m normally a Marlborough girl) and a fabulous Malbec. But what really made it was the owner. Friendly, informative and very passionate about Berwick. Who knew this place was so interesting and immersed in so much history. If we hadn’t been visiting friends, we’d have stayed all afternoon. Berwick is a need to go place - we’ll definitely be back to see more. Thankyou for a lovely couple of hours Will and Sue x

I was there for a poetry reading event as part of Berwick-upon-Tweed Literary Festival. It's a nice place, mostly tables and chairs, a sofa. Airy, bright. Food, wine, coffee. Recommended

Lovely friendly staff , great food & reasonable prices , will definitely be back

Lovely cafe, friendly service & excellent coffee & scones

Nice clean and quiet establishment. Perfect for a G & T or a glass of wine. Owner full of information for the area well worth talking to. Recommended. They also do a good coffee and cakes.

Only had a pot of tea as the Chef was unavailable, caring for their poorly child. I hope all will soon be well. The menu was intriguing and the relaxed atmosphere with art work to buy, tempting.

Pleasant cafe with courteous service

Had lunch in this place last month . Food was very good especially the cakes.

Thoroughly enjoyed cheese scones, coffee and cake, and a delightful conversation with the manager.

My first visit to Berwick upon Tweed and I found this Caffe bar on my way home. My train was cancelled so I went back for a second cappuccino. Lovely coffee and cake and very friendly staff. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.

My first visit to Berwick, and a few steps from the station, finding this place was excellent, a Café come bar with sweet treats, friendly staff good service.

Good coffee, interesting menu, pleasant atmosphere, engaging host. Make sure to go there.

We called at lunchtime for drinks after a long walk and so glad we did. The owner was very welcoming and we had a lovely chat about the town (we were visitors there for a few days). Well worth a visit for a nice glass of wine and definitely the nicest place we have been to in the town. Thank you to the owner for the recommendation of a local eatery for the evening as we were struggling to find something to our taste.

We only had coffee but the place was clean, the staff friendly and the coffee fine.

We only stopped for coffee as we passed from our nearby hotel. What a beautiful place, to sit and have a coffee. There was a good selection of cakes but sadly we had only just eaten. Highly recommended if you are in Berwick

Excellent cakes and sandwiches. Coffee good too. Friendly service.

Great food and very congenial host.

Dog friendly which is great as sometimes a lovely setting is the order of the day! Very nice owner and the food and drinks are delicious. It is expensive however, for me it’s worth it as it’s so pleasant to relax here with a good book.

Lovely cafe. Nice staff. Strong menu. Choice of 5 options only but they were all excellent and there was something for everyone. Really struggled to choose! Cakes looked delicious too.

Good location, close to the station. Good coffee and nice attitude.

Fantastic coffee shop. Called in today while visiting Berwick. We had coffee and cake. The slice of cake was amazing, freshly made that morning and you could tell, it was so moist. The shop itself is lovely inside and so clean. Air conditioning too, which was great. The guy that served us, I think maybe the owner was so welcoming. Will definitely visit again whenever in Berwick and can’t recommend this place enough. Fantastic.

Pier Red is an art gallery serving food and drink in the historic Marley town of Berwick Upon Tweed. Relax chill Out and enjoy ! Menu is small but the food is to a very high standard and tasty, good selection of beers wines and spirits. Freshly made coffees scones and delicious home made cakes , light bites are All available in an air conditioned gallery supporting local artists. The proprietor is always keen to dish out info on the town and places to visit in the area.

Really good coffee and scones. Nice and clean and Covid safe. Would gladly recommend this establishment to all.

Lovely produce, lovely food, lovely drinks. If you're a tourist, tap up the lovely owner for some sage advice about where to visit. Recommended.

First place we went on our trip to Berwick and did not disappoint. Nice and interesting sandwich and drink selection. Good service.

Great service, greeted at the door and shown to our table, these teas have to be booked in advance via Jo the caterer, she was there to attend to your needs and the barman served the drinks, all very efficient. Here's the best bit, the...

We drove up to Berwick (staying in Seahouses) and a we were struggling to find somewhere we liked the look of for lunch. So glad we stumbled on Pier Red - nice owners, smooth coffee and tasty lunch. I had a bacon Brie spinach and...

Soup with fresh crusty roll. Home baked scone adnd coffee All very good. Service excellent and prompt. A smile would have been appreciated!

Great place for a light lunch the salad was exceptional I know that sounds odd but every component of the salad had a different dressing. Just lovely

A pleasant cafe with a small picture gallery. Serves a selection of hot and cold foods. The owner was friendly and informative

We popped in on what we heard was their first day back doing table service. Contact tracing was by mobile phone but noticed the staff offering to help do it for a senior citizen - one of the few who isn't a silver surfer. Seemed...

This is a very nice establishment. We had coffee and scones. Really enjoyable

Fancied a latte and saw this place so thought I'd try it. Smart place with lots of artwork on the wall. Tables were well spaced and the man at the counter was very pleasant. I got a latte to take away which was well priced....

I prompt visit whilst traveling through the town. Glad we called in for a coffee. Good service. Spotlessly clean. Bright decor with some Interesting art work dotted about. Coffee was good and service good too. Pity we were passing through but we can recommend it....

Whiled away a lovely hour on a rainy afternoon in Berwick. Good quality tea and cake. Tastefully furnished and decorated.

Such a beautiful cafe. Warm welcome. The waiter put us at ease. All the safety measures are in place for a relaxing experience. The only criticism is they didn't have alternative milk.

Stopped in for a quick coffee before continuing the drive to Edinburgh. The coffee and lemon drizzle cake was lovely. The staff member was brilliant, gave us a quick history of the town and recommended the wall walk, which we duly did. Great wee place.

Great cafe and the owner is one of the nicest guys in Berwick. Great coffee. Spectacular hit chocolate. Excellent cakes. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

We popped into Pier Red for a quick coffee whilst in Berwick-upon-Tweed Well priced and tasty drinks. Nice artwork on walls. Best for us was the local information given by the owner to walk the town walls which aaa the highlight of our day. Thank...

Friendly and comfortable with great coffee

Wow, this is an amazing place - the coffee is the BEST you can find anywhere, the cakes are fantastic, and then you can come back later for a great evening drink. All this, plus Keith's wonderful chat, and brilliant advice on how to spend...

My husband and I visited Pier Red towards the end of last year when on a day trip to Berwick. When we were back in Berwick on Wednesday, we immediately decided to return. It was lovely. The owner remembered us, which was great, and, once...

Pier Red is rather unusual in that it is a coffee house with a great variety of hot drinks and cakes during the day, with the option to return a few hours later and enjoy an alcoholic beverage, with an atmosphere to accomodate both. (or enjoy a beer alongside your coffee if that took your fancy!)As stated in other reviews, what makes it a cut above is the excellent customer service and welcome that you receive. We spent a good hour in the place chatting to the manager, who gave us some great tips on what to see and do locally.Highly recommended place to rest your feet after a day's touring and enjoy a hot or cold drink alongside a great cake choice.

Stayed in Berwick with a friend and called in here for a couple of glasses of wine. A lovely place to relax with friendly staff. We were well looked after.

Went here with a group of friends for lunch and we were very impressed with the service which was efficient and came with a smile. The menu is not huge but has sufficient choice for lunch. According to friends, the salad was excellent. I had a vegetarian flatbread which was good, though slightly on the small side. We would go to this well appointed restaurant again.

Nice classy wee place with very friendly staff

I like it here. It was friendly.

Superb coffee and great cakes but it’s the welcome and friendliness that makes this a must visit whenever you are in Berwick-upon-Tweed. Highly recommended

Lovely staff, very accommodating and tasty coffee.

called in for coffee whilst on holiday to edinburgh and all around the bordersthe owner and his mate there were very friendlygreat atmosphere in there and what looked like fab foodi have to say you have got to get a latte coffee here ....it is just one of the best coffees you will ever tasteabsolutely lovely thoroughly recommend this place it is great

Very nice and friendly place to go.

Cosy with class! Fresh delicious cakes and tasty shots of espresso! A very welcoming environment!

This is a real find. We had lunchtime snacks there and the food was beautifully served with much attention to detail. We were offered some tips by a very knowledgable owner, as we were only in Berwick for a day. A lovely experience and can recommend wholeheartedly. Thank you.

Went in for a coffee and cake and ended up with one of the most interesting soups and panninis I've had.Mushroom and stilton soup might not immediately sound appetising but it really was delicious as was the pannini and I can't fault the coffee either.

We had one of the best coffees for a very long time. The walnut cake was excellent as well. We just happened to walk past and liked the look of place. Owner was also very friendly, and told us what was a must in Berwick.Wished London had more places like this.

We visited Pier Red for coffee twice during our week in Berwick on Tweed. Excellent coffee, a soft sofa and great ambience, helped in no small way by the very hospitable owner, whose friendly banter was most welcome. A definite place to visit on our next trip here.

Superb service plenty of choice in comfortable surroundings

Excellent ambiance. Great friendly service. Good local art work on display. Comfortable seating. Quiet atmosphere. Drinks at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Comfortable and welcoming. Nice cuppa

What a lovely little place. Very welcoming and comfortable. Very good price wise too. Highly recommend

Nice wee place, only had a cup of tea really enjoyed it.

Friendly, relaxed with a diverse clientele and a lovely environment with artwork from local talent.

This place doesn't even belong in Berwick. It is overpriced and too middle class for the town. The service is horrendous. Slow, incorrect and unprofessional.

Small selection of nice high quality savoury lunch food, and lovely cakes, in a bright spacious and welcoming environment, decorated with paintings on sale.

Really good. Would definitely recommend, such a lovely place. Really polite and well spoken. Most certain be back again.
