Central Park

Central Park has been part of Linthorpe Road for decades and remains one of Middlesbrough’s better-known independent restaurants. The menu is broad, with Italian-style dishes, steaks, chicken, pizza, pasta and parmos, so it works particularly well for family meals and bigger groups where people want different things. There are dedicated kids and Sunday dinner menus as well as cocktails and a full bar. Its strength is being a familiar Middlesbrough all-rounder where you can sit down for a proper meal and usually find something suitable for everyone at the table.
