ASDA Ashington Superstore at Portland Park has a long 6am to midnight shopping day from Monday through Friday. Saturday runs from 6am to 10pm, while Sunday is 10am to 4pm. The store is at Portland Park, Lintonville Terrace, Ashington NE63 9XG.
A useful way to understand this branch is as three different clocks operating on the same site. The supermarket has long opening hours, the petrol station runs continuously, and staffed services such as pharmacy, collection and cafe fit inside much shorter daytime or evening windows.
Clock One: The Supermarket
- Monday: 6am to midnight
- Tuesday: 6am to midnight
- Wednesday: 6am to midnight
- Thursday: 6am to midnight
- Friday: 6am to midnight
- Saturday: 6am to 10pm
- Sunday: 10am to 4pm
Monday through Friday are identical. The Superstore opens early at 6am and remains available for groceries until midnight.
Clock Two: The 24-Hour Petrol Station
The petrol filling station at ASDA Ashington is currently listed as open 24 hours every day.
This means fuel availability continues during the supermarket’s overnight closure and throughout the periods when Sunday grocery trading is restricted.
An “open now” result late at night should therefore be interpreted carefully. The petrol station may be open even when the supermarket is not.
Clock Three: Staffed Services
The collection point, pharmacy and cafe do not follow either the supermarket’s midnight closing time or the petrol station’s round-the-clock schedule.
Each has its own operating period, so the reason for visiting determines which clock matters.
Grocery Collection Runs 7am to 8pm
The drive-through collection point currently operates from 7am to 8pm Monday through Saturday and from 8am to 4pm Sunday.
During the working week, the supermarket opens an hour before collection and stays open for another four hours after collection finishes.
Sunday collection begins before the 10am supermarket opening, but a booked slot is still required.
The ASDA Click and Collect guide explains the wider collection process.
The Pharmacy Runs 9am to 9pm
ASDA Ashington Pharmacy is currently listed from 9am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 4pm Sunday.
This provides relatively long pharmacy availability but still leaves substantial supermarket trading before 9am and after 9pm.
A midnight supermarket closing should therefore never be used as the pharmacy closing time.
The Cafe Finishes at 5pm
The in-store cafe currently opens from 8.30am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 4pm Sunday.
A customer shopping after work at 7pm can still use the supermarket but would normally be outside cafe hours.
Opticians and Travel Money Are Not Currently Listed
ASDA currently marks both Opticians and the Travel Money Bureau as unavailable at Ashington.
That distinction matters because the presence of a large Superstore does not guarantee that every specialist ASDA department is available locally.
Scan & Go Handsets Use an 8am to 10pm Schedule
Physical Scan & Go handsets are currently listed from 8am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and from 10am to 4pm Sunday.
This leaves two hours of supermarket shopping before handset availability begins on a normal weekday and another two hours after the listed handset period ends.
ASDA separately identifies its mobile Scan & Go app as available beyond the handset schedule.
Saturday Breaks the Midnight Pattern
Saturday keeps the weekday 6am opening but closes at 10pm rather than midnight.
A shopper used to arriving at 11pm during the working week therefore needs to move the visit earlier on Saturday.
Sunday Changes Almost Everything Except Fuel
The supermarket normally trades from 10am to 4pm Sunday. The pharmacy and cafe currently fit inside the same six-hour supermarket period.
The drive-through collection point begins earlier, at 8am, while the petrol filling station remains open continuously.
Quieter Hour Sits Inside the Long Weekday
ASDA Ashington currently offers a Quieter Hour from 2pm to 3pm Monday through Thursday.
The supermarket remains open while ASDA lowers background noise and restricts tannoy announcements.
Holiday Hours Can Change Any of These Clocks
The regular 6am to midnight weekday timetable should not automatically be applied to bank holidays and festive dates.
Special hours can also affect staffed services separately from the supermarket. Check Portland Park directly if the journey falls around Easter, Christmas, New Year or another bank holiday.
