About The Riverside Pantry

A cosy little spot on the Wansbeck riverside just outside Ashington, this is the kind of café that works as a base for a whole afternoon rather than a quick stop. There's a children's playpark and picnic tables right outside, free parking, and a river walk to run off the last of the energy. Access is by ramp at one end, so buggies get in fine, and the toilets are clean. The scones are enormous — one parent cut a cheese scone into three slices — and the cakes, coffee and breakfasts all get praise for value. Staff are friendly and quick, which helps with restless children. Indoor seating is limited, so on a wet weekend you may be waiting; the outdoor tables and the view make up for it in decent weather. Dogs welcome, high chairs and a kids' menu available.
