The Waiting Room was established by Jenny Harding in 1986, and remains a homely, family-run neighbourhood restaurant at 9 Station Road, Eaglescliffe. The restaurant occupies a Victorian terraced house, with a relaxed cosy front room, and a bright airy conservatory, which can accommodate 50 diners and private parties. It is also where we've staged over 1000 Waiting for Sunday - weekly live music and arts events over the past 30 years.
The Waiting Room now also includes The Other Room, a chic community bar in the old chemist shop in number 11, and vvroom a vegetarian takeaway and wood-fired pizza parlour next door at number 7. We have a sunny street-side garden, and The Waiting Room is now a licensed wedding venue too. See our 'blog post no. 1' for more about TWR.
The Waiting Room has put on a programme of incredible weekly leftfield gigs, arts events and happenings on Sunday nights for over 30 years.
