Central Park is a lively and very popular restaurant. The food is very tasty and I don't mind waiting as I know it is cooked from fresh. Try the mousetrap burger! Book in advance to ensure you reserve a table.

Went to Central Park as we often do (but will no longer) with party of 17 to celebrate my wedding anniversary. When it came to time to settle the bill went to pay in couples as we always do and was told in no uncertain terms that one person would have to pay the whole bill and then get the money back from the others as it was to much work for the staff to do this for us. After spending nearly £400 on food and drink I would think that spending five minutes working out a bill when everyone new what they had and taking maybe four individual payments would not be so hard.
When questioning why this policy had been implemented I was told it has always been this way despite the fact that we always pay separately and after pointing this out to the manager he became dismissive and then walked away to leave a young girl on the till to take the flack while he disappeared to deal with something more important than his customers. In future we will be going to one of Middlesbrough’s other restaurants where they treat there customers as more than an annoyance or inconvenience.

Central Park is a one of the friendliest places to eat in the North East and definitely my favourite!
The staff are very professional and extremely polite, they go out of their way to make your visit a pleasurable one. Service is of the highest standard.
The most important thing is the food - naturally:
Excellent choice of wines - the wine list is reviewed and upgraded regularly and the house wines are excellent. The menu provides a great choice for all tastes and is always cooked to perfection. If you can't find what you want they will always try to accommodate your tastes/preferences.
The prices are very reasonable for the standard of service you receive and the quality and quantity of the food.
They have just completed a new upstairs lounge which is extremely well furnished and very tastefully decorated. It the perfect place to meet friends to catch up, relax and unwind.
Overall a leisurely experience, you are not rushed in or out to make way for the next customer (as is the case in some other large restaurants on Linthorpe Road - no names - you know who you are!!).
WELL WORTH A VISIT!
