About This Pub

Ah, Room 305 – it's one of those places that really stands out in Whitley Bay for its fresh take on Greek and Eastern Mediterranean grub. I have to say, the sharing plates are an absolute highlight; they're packed with flavour and come in great deals that won't break the bank, making it perfect for a laid-back afternoon or evening with mates. The atmosphere is just spot on – cosy and inviting, with options that cater to vegetarians, so everyone's happy. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses; I've come across a few grumbles about some dishes not quite living up to expectations, like overly salty wings, and there was that one tale of a staff member getting a bit short-tempered, which is a shame because it can sour the experience. Still, with such a solid overall rating, it's well worth popping in if you're in the area – just give them a ring to book, and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

Room 305 – Small Bites Review Popped into Room 305 and went for their small bites deal – 4 for £28 (or 5 for £32). Mixed bag overall, but some solid picks. Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings – These were kinda meh. Salty and more crunchy than crispy. That said, the spice level was spot on – had a nice kick without being overpowering. Brie & Mango Parcels – Big yes. Crispy, gooey, sweet – loved every bite. Breaded Halloumi Sticks with Sweet Chilli – Another fave. Golden, crunchy, and worked perfectly with the dip. Falafel on a Bed of Hummus (Vegan) – Falafel was decent, but the hummus stole the show – super smooth and really tasty. Chill place for a casual bite, especially if you’re into veggie stuff.

My wife has came to 305 every Tuesday for several months, however the attitude from a member of staff was appalling today, all because my 1 year old son creased a menu. She was loud and confrontational to my wife and in front of my 3 year old daughter, all because of a paper menu! Absolute disagree and won’t be going back anytime soon. Such a shame as the food has always been great and the kids have loved it.

Popped in for lunch (we hadn't booked, but luckily, we got a table as someone was just leaving), so booking may be advisable... the menu is Greek, Eastern Mediterranean, Turkish, Moroccan ... loads of interesting sharing plates, all sounding delicious! They offer 4 for £22, 5 for £26... which was plenty for 3 of us at lunchtime. Can reccomended the lemon chicken skewers, lamb kofta, feta and spinach samosas, stuffed vine leaves and tzatziki/pitta.... all excellent flavours! Will definitely be going again soon!
