About Riverview Diner

On Station Rd in Northampton, Riverview Diner is a restaurant serving breakfast and all-day plates, including a Full English Breakfast and a Mega Breakfast. A dedicated section of biker baps and wraps sits alongside these on the menu. A fully licensed bar operates on site, and bench seating fills the dining area, with additional room outdoors for those who prefer to eat in the open air. The entrance is step-free, with a foldable ramp for wheelchair users, and dogs are welcome inside as well as out. High chairs are available for families with young children. A free car park sits near the diner. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended given the space fills across both indoor and outdoor seating.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the clear draw here, with the Full English mentioned again and again as generously portioned and good value, one reviewer calling the "mega breakfast" a full plate for just over £12 and another praising the milkshake alongside it. Close behind, fish and chips and a large bap earn praise for portion size, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, with one reviewer noting a nervous dog was made to feel at ease inside. Vegetarian options and willingness to accommodate large groups or substitutions also come up. The recurring complaint is the coffee, with two separate reviewers finding a latte or regular coffee undrinkable, and one visit was dampened by seeing the owners vaping inside the restaurant while dining, which put that reviewer off returning. A few also note the diner can be quiet despite the food quality, and one wished for an actual river view. Several reviewers say they plan to return to try more of the menu.

  • Becky Brushwood
    “We ended up coming here after the chain pub down the road was unwilling to tweak things to accommodate our party of 13 for my birthday brunch on a Sunday. Riverview, on the other hand, were only too happy to fit us in even though they had a big party of over 20 due a couple of hours after our arrival. Staff were very helpful, particularly the guy taking our orders (what a sweetie he was!) The food came out staggered but you expect that with a big party, the main thing was it was piping hot and tasty and there were plenty of options on the menu for myself and my mum who are vegetarians. Its got its own carpark which is handy and its also wheelchair friendly too (they have a foldable ramp to help get you in the door) Obviously its a 'diner' so it has a very relaxed cafe feel to it, but if you want decent priced great food and a personal service, you are 100% better off here than that awful chain pub down the road that I mentioned earlier. Give your business to this place over them, you definitely wont regret it! I'll be back next time I'm in the area! T H A N K Y O U to all the Team!”
  • Joe Allen
    “Mega breakfast was amazing, had a proper plate full of food for just over £12 and really good quality food too. Service was quick and friendly with good music playing in the background. Definitely will be going back, I highly recommend Riverview Diner 👍🏻”
