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.
lovely food, cool atmosphere, staff are attentive!
I always come here for lunch with friends. The food is amazing greek style plates with plenty of vegetarian options too. The coffee is also good.
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!
