The Riverside Tea Rooms in Northumberland

Stopped for lunch after visit to Chesters Roman Fort. Nice and busy wth a mix of locals and tourists, both made welcome. Excellent choice of quiches and cakes with the soup choice also tempting. Plumped for the sausage & caramelised onion quiche served warm with salad leaves, crisps, home made coleslaw and pickle. Generous helping and very tasty, thoroughly enjoyed it washed down with Northumberland tea. Only disappointment for me was having no room for a cake! (Ah well next time we visit Hadrian's Wall......) Well worth calling in if you are in the area.

Delicious lunch with friendly helpful staff. Perfect stop on our way home from walking a bit of Hadrian’s Wall. And dog friendly.

Wow - wow - thanks so much for making our Gary Ritson sixtieth birthday a great occasion - the food you prepared was unreal- everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and we are all now wanting to lie down instead of work 🤣🤣👍👍👏👏 we will be back for sure and great to see a local business supplying local business - thanks to Helen, Emma and Trudie for making the day special 👍👍

We had a lovely breakfast of a bacon sandwich and a sausage sandwich with soya milk lattes. Great staff served us at our table. We shared a piece of malteser traybake

A gem. We stumbled across this café and couldn't have been happier with our food and service. Will definitely be back. Beautiful walks nearby along the river and saw Roman wall. You won't be disappointed.

We came across this jewel while walking Hadrian's Wall Path after spending the night in Corbridge. I wasn't real hungry but some of the group wanted to take a break, so I decided to go inside too. What a treat!!! I determined I need one of their pies and was so happy I did! Others in our group had a slice of cake, scone, and sandwich. Throughout the rest of our trip we kept comparing all of our stops to The Riverside Kitchen but all other's came up short!

Lovely homely cafe. homemade mushroom soup was amazing. Great staff especially Jessica. would definitely recommend.

Excellent food very friendly staff. However car parking a premium. But that didn't put us off and we enjoyed a great breakfast, lovely scones and good coffee. Even bought some food to take away.

Fantastic coffee shop, cosy decor and welcoming staff! Food was delicious and portions were HUGE! Very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back again!

This was our second visit just to make sure it was as good as the first. It was! Lovely coffee amazing selection of cakes and quiches and friendly enthusiastic staff

Been wanting to go here since it opened as we heard great reviews, well we weren't dissapointed. First of all it was nice to see friendly happy staff who seemed to thrive on meeting people. On to the food.....just fantastic homemade fare.....mince and onion pie with salad,

Popped in on the way to an appointment in Hexham. Love the refurbishment, excellent service. A very pleasant place for '...people what do lunch.' There was a mix of stay n chat to the 'us': a bite to eat on the way. I liked the atmosphere.

Called in for quick coffee and ended up with cake to share as they are massive. Our banoffie pie was lovely not to sweet and plant of cream. The coffee was smooth and a nice choice of coffee on the menu.

Lovely aroma as you walk in and a friendly greeting as if we were old friends. We were only in need of a snack but decided to have soup and a bread roll which melted in the mouth. My partner had a lovely salad which she really enjoyed. We dined at the George Hotel across the road otherwise we would have eaten much larger portions. Definitely will be back next time we stay at the George.

So much has changed since our last visit...not only the name! On asking we learned that the place is now under completely new management...hence the beautiful refurbishment and the delicious smell of home baking as you walk in. There’s a selection of freshly baked bread to choose from when ordering your lunch, our boys were both treated like kings with their ‘picnic boxes’ (which come with a mask and crayons!!) I had the ‘spicy melt’ which was absolutely delicious on sun-dried tomato bread, which was served with dressed leaves, homemade coleslaw, crisps and chutney. My partner had one of the huge selection of pies from the counter (ham & leek), which was a hit too! We followed this with a cup of coffee and a slice of Malteser traybake...mmm! I’d highly recommend, ohhhh and the basket of scones looked amazing too!!! Will definitely be back!

fab place have ben before but we just missed the 11.30 curfew for breakfast! on seeing me Trudie said YES to doing me a breakfast of her perfect poached eggs on fantastic home made bread!!! husband had a melt which he claimed delicious-- also he couldn't resist her choc cake -- such a lovely place to have a break well done ladies -- others came in for take out or lunch EVERYONE was treated a special-- i got a take out quiche cheese and leek OMG!!! so good and in a perfect brown carton huge portions

Where once you could comfortably sit in this tea room and look forward to an excellent meal, now unfortunately because of the refurbishment you are crammed in like "Sardines". The tables are bigger and more of them and the number of seats has increased so much there is not much room to move about. There is even more seating under the windows and around the walls.

The new name is The Riverside Kitchen. The recently re-vamped cafe now provides a comfortable location for enjoying the excellent food offered in menu that will meet most tastes. Whether you just want a coffee and a home-made teacake or a more substantial snack this is the place to rest awhile. The aroma of fresh baking tickles the taste buds as you enter and the food will not disappoint. Finding a parking space may be challenging at busy times but please don't drive into the North Tyne! Canine and child friendly.

Not been before , but had heard good reports, managed to park and piped in. Very nice inside, sat at the table by the door which made it but chilly each time the door opened , but my hubbie kept his coat on !!! We ordered two sandwiches a prawn one and a ham one, they came with salad and coleslaw, and chrisps, lovely , my daughter had a hot cheese sandwich which she loved . Service was a little slow but they were freshly made with wonderful bread , we will definitely be back !

We headed out for our weekly meal out and were headed to a completely different tea room when I remembered the Riverside Kitchen had been recommended to me, so off we went. I'm so glad we did! Made to feel welcome in a light, bright country styled room, on the riverside of the north Tyne. A good variety of sandwiches, quiches, pies, soup, today's was minted pea, baked potatoes etc. We ordered prawn Marie rose and Coronation Chicken with apricots and sultanas, served with side salad, crisps, coleslaw and a little jar of shredded beetroot and sultanas, which delicious. I wish I'd taken a photo of the food as it was served beautifully and was so full of freshly prepared filling, I couldn't finish it. Another nice little touch is if you can't finish your meal they'll pop it into a tray so you can finish it at your leisure. Trudie, the new owner and the rest of the staff are very friendly and she has made a rundown cafe into a little gem. Spotless toilets and plenty of parking in a beautiful setting. We'll definitely be back.

Very friendly, excellent menu and very good food. I will definitely go back. The refurbishment is very tasteful.

We called in for a light lunch on Sunday. Every table was full except one , thank goodness! The menu consisted of sandwiches, melts, quiches, pies and baked potatoes with a variety of appetising fillings for each. A good selection of beverages hot and cold. All 4 of us had a different choice, each came with salad leaves, coleslaw, pickle and crisps. We couldn't fault anything! The selection of deserts was mouth watering but we were too full! The service was excellent. The young lady who served us informed us that they've only been open 3 weeks. I really hope they can make a massive success of this business as they truly deserve to!

Popped in for a bite on the road. A bacon and mushroom bap arrived in a few minutes and was not expensive. It was well filled and tasty. Best of all it was sensibly packaged without any plastic.

This is a good place to stop off if you’re looking for well cooked or well baked simple fare. This isn’t a place that sets out to be fancy. It doesn’t need to. It’s just right as it is. The service is welcoming and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

Great little campsite right on the wall walk £7.50 pppn clean toilet block, never visited cafe but looked nice

Great Cafe. The staff are fantastic here and very friendly. They also have a lovely children's menu and the Mackerel Salad accompanied by a nice glass of white wine was the perfect lunch.

This is just across the road from the George. You can sit in or sit at one of the picnic tables. It is reasonably priced with excellent service. Ideal if you want a light lunch or just tea and cake.

Called here for tea and coffee on the way to Brocolitia. Although it wasnt busy the staff seemed rushed - but service was prompt, good tea and coffee, not expensive.

Stopped here for a sandwich and drink whilst out in the area and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Staff were very friendly, the cafe was very clean and the menu varied. As it was a very hot day we sat outside and enjoyed the sandwiches in the sun. Would definitely recommend it for a stop off on travels.

Stopped off here during a ride-out from Edinburgh to Hadrian's Wall, with some biker friends.It was a pleasant break on what turned out to be a slightly chilly and grey day. Food - very nice - did take quite some time, although (understandably) they did seem a bit unexpectedly overrun by about 20 or so of us bikers looking for some sustenance. I fancied the soup of the day but, unfortunately, that had been finished by my biker friends before me in the queue. Coffee was okay, but it was brought out long before my food arrived and so had finished it before even starting to eat. Pleasant, friendly service. Good place to stop and eat. I do recommend it.

Visited in November whilst Cycling and found the staff friendly and welcoming. Making it perfect half way stop. Will definitely return here when Cycling again :)

El nombre es un poco engañoso. Debería llamarse El Riverside Caf'. Ni siquiera 'Café' porque no es elegante.

Quería parar aquí el sábado 3 de junio y ya estaban cerrados antes de 4. 30:00 h. Tanto para una taza de café y un pedacito de tarta para apoyar un negocio local mientras yo visitar la zona a pie al muro! Obviamente, cobran mucho y están haciendo mucho dinero que no necesitan permanecer abierto por mucho tiempo.

A la hora del almuerzo aquí en escalonados, cansado y empapado de millas en ruta la Muralla de Adriano. Amable bienvenida aunque estaban mojadas y no limpio. Deliciosa comida caliente abundante en generosas porciones. Buena relación calidad-precio y es lo que vimos, ya que entramos fantasised junto

Stopped for a quick cup of tea nice little cafe , staff were friendly and just had snacks but a lovely smell of cooking was coming from the kitchen . So might call back next time we pass this way .

Called in for hot sandwich, decided on getting burger. Worst burger I have ate in my life topped off with very bad atmosphere. I have enclosed a photo of burger aswel and very expensive for what you get!!

Popped in here for a small lunch, but ended up having quiche and chips. Oh my gosh the quiche was one of the best I've had in a while. Lovely atmosphere, nice and friendly

Stopped for coffee after visiting St Oswalds church. Friendly run place. Well worth stopping at.Small car park at front but room behind.

Stopped here on way to Hadrians Wall with my husband

Un personal amable y acogedor, con una buena variedad de alimentos disponibles. Patata chaqueta estaba bien hecha y el panecillos calientes eran muy sabrosos. Los inodoros eran agradables y estaban limpias.

A lovely stop off for tea and cake after a walk. Great to sit in the sun outside with the river rushing by.

A delightful tearoom providing excellent home baked cakes and a good place to rest weary legs after walking or before you start. Lovely and clean, welcoming staff and comfortable atmosphere. It added to an excellent day on Hadrian's Wall.

Called here for drinks while following a circular walk from Humshaugh. Sadly we had brought a packed lunch so could not sample the food - it looked great, and sensible prices. The tea and coffe were really good and the welcome even better.

Great place to stop for coffee and eat. Clean, tidy and welcoming staff. If you are in the area fr Hadrian's Wall visit then this is the place to start. The cafe is sitedright on the roundabout at the end of the bridge with parking next to it.

Lovely service, smashing cakes that are all home made and a great cup of tea what more could you ask for?

We found these tea rooms by accident and were pleased we did. Really good wholesome food served with a smile.

Quite the best quiche I have ever eaten with huge portions. Cheese scones similar, cake great too. Camping a good price, quiet and easy. Good restaurant a minute's walk away.

In my search for the great Jacket Potato, we visited the above establishment and enjoyed a lovely jacket potato and soup which I can highly recommend also. The J/Pot was accompanied by a crisp salad with a generous topping. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone but especially to those doing Hadrian's Wall walk as it's on the route and about 24 miles from Wallsend. The staff are polite and friendly. 9 out of 10. One other tip, if you opt for the soup, get there early as it's very popular and goes quickly.

Perfect little stop off before me and my partner travelled along hadrians wall. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was great, the staff even answered some of our tourist questions and gave their recommendations on places to visit. Will highly recommend to others that are visiting the area. Will visit again if we are ever in the area again

It's definitely popular, full of two wheelers and right next to the Roman fort/museum at Chesters. But I didn't feel it is a place to sit and spend some time. A little too clinical, food a little too ordinary, perhaps designed for guests to come, eat and leave rather than to loiter (both of the above groups were here to eat and leave) After our walk we went to the George Hotel, just across the roundabout (30meters away!) and enjoyed it much more.

Great simple food, well priced, good selection. Best coffee cake, brilliant helpful friendly staff. Highly recommend the quiche.

This is well situated by the roundabout and on the Hadrian’s Wall walking route, right next to the River North Tyne.The menu is big with all sorts of cakes, sandwiches, baguettes, and bigger meals. All you would really want from a tearoom and the prices are very reasonable.I can recommend the Malteaser cake/tray bake!The car park isn’t huge but I have always managed to find a space and most visitors seem to be walkers and cyclists anyway.Service is quick.Fully recommended.
