Central Park in Redcar and Cleveland

Really friendly staff prices very reasonable food very nice very popular not disappointed would definitely go again would recommend

I loved the customer service, off terry and Marta there are lovely people the paramo was incredible never had anything better also the chocolate cake was unreal. me and my friend both agreed that the price was pretty decent also, but my pint of coke was nice and fresh.

Booked table for two. Seated then moved by blond female with foreign accent to another table. Everyone else that came in after us was served and eating before a member of staff walked passed and and was asked by my partner why we were waiting so long to be served, her excuse was that there was not any menus on the table. So they all thought our order had been taken. We were offered one complimentary side between both of us and not a drink as would be the norm anywhere else. Ordered 2 blackened sirloin steaks. My partner got one and I got a rump. Very bad like rubber. Then a male member of staff started throwing cutely into the cutlery tray right next to us. Very distracting with the noise it created and quite annoying to be honest I was going to get up and leave. Very bad experience from a place I've been to plenty of times before. Will have to put them on the back of the list in future.

Nice Parmo, Nice Pint of Budweiser.

My first visit was on Tuesday 28th May It was a brilliant experience the food was delicious and the staff were very pleasant, professional and friendly Will certainly be going again we all loved it 5 ☆

We called in to see if we could get a table. Unfortunately, the kitchen had just closed as it was a horrible wet evening and they didn't expect to have any walk -in customers. Even though we didn't eat I just wanted to say how impressed I was with their customer service. So friendly and helpful and happy to recommend another restaurant. A very kind regular was kind enough to help us find the restaurant they recommended. Thank you for being so kind and helpful.

OK were a little disappointed with the scampi and my husband with the pasta

Always a lovely meal here, food is delish!!! 😍😋

Booked several days in advance. Seated right by the entrance, so every time the door opened we were hit with cold air. People waiting for collections, waiting to be seated or served were leaning against our table and even resting their drinks on it (there was no where else for them to wait). We could not hear each other talk due to loud music and the hustle and bustle of being seated in what would be a waiting area in other restaurants. We could not gain the attention of staff as we were hidden by groups of people waiting to be seated, so waited awhile for our food order and only managed to order one round of drinks. Only vegan option is a veg pasta and menu states not all ingredients are listed on dishes, which is concerning for those with allergies.

Nice little place.great service.foid came out hot and quick.starter did not have much taste but nice and the carbonate was nice but too much black pepper in it.

Came for a family meal, had a table booked however sat for 30 minutes before a drink order was taken. A further 30 minutes went by and still not taken a food order yet the walk in table who came in at the same time were on to mains. Freezing cold and very loud! Called another local restaurant and went there instead.

We booked last minute, a table for two and we were accommodated. The service was fantastic, we were offered drinks immediately and the staff were very attentive. We had a starter - just a garlic bread but it was delicious and then our meals arrived. Escalope Zacharoffe and pizza. The food was delicious and plentiful. Excellent experience. We would recommend!

Waited at the door entrance for ten mins feeling awkward no one even greeted us or said anything. Sat for 20mins and they never even came and asked us if we wanted a drink so we got up and walked out. Very poor service. Far too loud in there too. People shouting over the loud music. Would not recommend this place. Also cold room

Updated Dec 2023 Booked to go in later the same day. Had to wait a little while when we arrived but were able to get drinks while we waited. Clearly a very busy night with lots of big groups. The service was very friendly and the food was quick but very tasty. Only suggestion would be to perhaps turn the music down a little. Original review Collected a takeaway. Great value. The food was great too.

Came today for a proper Teesside parmo as the ones near me aren’t good. It was absolutely beautiful, can’t fault the food at all. Service was good but the restaurant itself was freezing which wasn’t ideal.

Decent quality food there is nowhere else in redcar so they haven't got any competition

Just had a lovely lunch here today , lasagne and pizza both so tasty , lovely service , we will be back. Lager lovely and chilled , also the wine , too full for dessert

Steak was great cooked to perfection

Love this spot. Staff are so friendly and clearly are employed for their personal service and friendliness..

I would never choose this place as a go to place for anything. I only end up here for social gatherings and never out of choice, all I can say is its ok. The food is ok, drinks are ok. Nothing to get excited about. Unfortunately the service is very slow, music is deafening. They play a happy birthday song twice as loud as background music if people are there celebrating a birthday however that is literally all they do It happened when i was there and it just seemed like they knocked the volume up for one of there fave songs, nothing accompanied with the ridiculously loud birthday song. Couldn't even tell it was anyones birthday from the atmosphere of the room. Overall, central park redcar is outdated, over rated and I'm surprised its outlived other eateries that no longer exist.

I was invited here with family for a birthday. I was really disappointed with the options they have for vegan or dairy free customers. No vegan starters available and only one main meal to choose from which was a veggie pasta dish. It was edible but nothing special and a pasta dish is not something I'd usually go for and it cost £9.95. Please think about evolving the menu, it's 2023 and I've been vegan for 2.5 years this has to be the only restaurant I've been to with family and friends where I have had such little choice. The decor is pretty and the staff seemed friendly, please just broaden the menu to cater for more people. 😊

Excellent service Food was presented and cooked to our liking Terry and Marta made us very welcome Best restaurant we visit

We went here to celebrate my sons 16th birthday (his choice) , we booked the table with ease . When we arrived it was quite chilly outside, so we were all looking forward to getting into the warmth . Unfortunately the restaurant was freezing, to the point I was wearing gloves at the table throughout the whole meal , I have raynauds syndrome so really feel the cold especially on my hands and feet . Initially I thought it was just me but all of us were freezing, my dad even wore a scarf throughout the whole meal . It was uncomfortably cold . We spent well over £200 but it was ruined by the uncomfortable atmosphere, even one of the waitresses said she was freezing too . I understand the cost involved with gas / electricity but the customers shouldn’t suffer , when you go out for a meal especially somewhere that’s not that cheap , the least you expect is to be able to remove your coat and gloves indoors. Food was lovely just too cold to enjoy, so I ended up bringing my meal home where I could eat it without gloves on .

Brilliant as always, food always lovely, prompt service, accommodating and friendly, never disappointed.

Went out for some tea with the some friends. Absolutely brilliant place. Never visited Central Park before but definitely go back. The food was so fresh and tasty. The staff were on point And very professional! Thank you so much.

Ordered pâté and the cajun salmon. Pate was lovely and plenty of it, and wow the salmon was cooked perfectly and beautiful seasoned! Fancied trying something different and this defiantly hit the spot !! Only downfall is we didn’t receive our drinks until we were half way finished with our starters … but the food was lush so well done!

Food was average. Meal spoiled by the fact the place was uncomfortably cold and draughty. Radiators all cold despite it being one of the coldest evenings of the year in mid January. Most tables were occupied but many diners, like us had no option but to wear our coats while eating which isn't acceptable. Some of the waiting staff were surly and unhelpful when approached about the issue. Won't be rushing back.

Really poor service, seem only interested in the phone takeaway orders. We were stood in the queue awaiting to be seated and were told we'd missed out sitting. Granted we were 5 minutes late to arrive. They later seated us. We were then left waiting 40 minutes to order our food. Crazy, at one point we contemplated ringing our order in. Food was fine, shame the service let the experience down.

Up untill about a year ago I had never set foot in this place but now I am a regular. Food is spot on, staff are hard working and prices are sensible. You also get a good atmosphere.

First time visit for me and would recommend going there, garlic mushrooms was an excellent starter, and the chicken pasta meal for main was so filling that we couldn't eat it all, very generous portions,

Small but busy Italian restaurant - good food, good choice of drinks and service is good

Too loud and a bit cramped inside. Food wasn't bad but because the waiters are so busy they are a bit abrupt with you for your order or when serving. It was a Saturday evening. They were also out of stock of a few foods and drink items. Very little vegetarian options on the menu.

Lovely food. Staff polite and courteous nice atmosphere. Room just a bit cold

Lovely food, great service would definitely go again

The steak was really good. Service was poor my pint was cloudy and disgusting the lady was very rude when I asked for a new pint.

Tasty food reasonable price friendly atmosphere. Having visited numerous times it never fails to disappoint an all round enjoyable experience

Fantastic place, lovely atmosphere and the blackened steak is amazing

Very good service and lovely food

Menu very basic, always a rush to get you out of the place. Taking your plates and cups away as soon as possible, hounding you asking if you want the bill and asking if they can take your food away (sometimes when still eating) Will sweep around you even when it’s far from closing time- quite uncomfortable. I’d rather spend my money else where on good quality food.

Good food, good value, good staff. Busy bustling family friendly restaurant. 1st time here and will be back. Thank you!

Service wasn’t the best ,sat and waited half an hour to be served even though we caught the attention of the staff members ,who knew we we’re wanting to order ,fully ignored .

Good food at right price good staff

Great food & very reasonable price. Staff are lovely as well. Recommend a try

The food was good and value for money. The service was really good, the waitresses were run off their feet. The big downside is it took them 3 times to get the bill right trying to overcharge everytime put a damper on the evening

Nice redcar version of the boro one

A hidden gem in Redcar. Good food, great friendly service and the coldest pint I've ever had. 10/10

It’s ok, but not memorable. The food comes out a little too quick, and it’s mediocre at best, like school dinners, ok but not great. Feel rushed to pay the bill and go quickly. It’s all about feed them, get their money then Chuck them out. Could be so much better…

Went for my brothers birthday, brilliant service with polite staff, excellent food, we all had different things and nothing was messed up and it came fairly quickly too, also very cheap, there was 8 of us all with starters mains and (maybe a few too many) alcoholic drinks and it cost us less than £200. Would definitely go back again :)

Lovely food fast service and affordable 😁👍🏾

Amazing food! Nice customer service. Highly recommend.

They fit us a reservation of 19 for Easter Friday, which was great. whilst they couldn't guarantee gluten free due to kitchen size, they did their best to get me a gluten safe food of chicken and jacket potato, which was simple but delicious and can report there were no issues after. My family had parmos and fajitas, mussles and prawn salads which all looked great. They do a deal where you get two cocktails for a tenner if you order the same cocktails I had two frozen strawberry daquries which were nice but I don't think they were worth it. Wish I got the bigger ones because I'm so tight 😂 Food and drink came out quite staggered and there was a wait to be seated and for the drinks to come, but considering the busy night of Easter Friday I can expect it. The atmosphere is nice and the seating was just spaced enough to be comfortable. Didn't feel squeezed in. They take five pounds for reservations which they give back on the bill per meal, but if someone doesn't come and you don't cancel in time they'll keep the reservation which is fair. All in all I liked this place despite not being gluten free, they still made an effort to make sure I didn't go home hungry. Will definitely go back.

Allways top draw food and service

Went here tuesday 15th march and are regular visitors but on this visit it was a disaster, We took our seats and waited to be served in the meantime the restaurant was starting to fill up and a number of tables near us arrived around 15/20 minutes after us plus a table of over 10 people who looked like were celebrating a birthday, our drink order was taken afte 15 minutes then a further 15 minutes we were told by the waitress that there was a problem with the fyers tripping and she would take our food order shortly, in the meantime one of the table next to us another waiitress obviously knew the people and was busy chatting away to them for 20 mins and took their order. Our waitress eventually took our order and 2 other tables orders near to us after nearly 1 hour. In the meantime the Table the waitress was chatting to had received their starters and we were told that ours would be delayed again and then not long after the other Table received their mains so that was the final straw and we left along with the large group and 2 other tables so I guess the waitress who had favoured her mates must have cost the restaurant well over £300.

Nice dinner with family , I appreciate the attention to my allergy , lovely service. Thank you , we will be back :)

Always always very good food!!!!

Spot on food, very quick ticket times and reasonable prices!

Visited 5th Feb on the evening. Parmo was excellent quality. Would have been nice to have an ipa on tap but wasn't really there for the drink. Service was slightly slow as well but they were very busy and I can only imagine how hard it is working in hospitality right now with sickness etc. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

Booked a table for tea time, the place was almost full when we got there. Staff were really busy but we were seated swiftly. Food was well cooked and really enjoyable and reasonablely priced too.

Food was good however felt pressured to pay bill everytime ordered anything made to feel like running away! Ladies toilets absolutely disgusting first toilets to the left full of excrement didn’t flush non of toilets did won’t be returning 🤷‍♀️

Lovely Venu and lovely food, staff are spot on too, really professional but very friendly, what more can you ask for. We'll be back.

Only issue was parking, food was great staff were great

Great tasty meals and staff are very good

Good affordable food. Great staff.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Attentive staff

Food amazing!! Got took here for my 50th.....table wasn't ready for my arrival (decorations etc), asked 3 time's for Bill as grandson was getting tired (4months old) still waiting 45 minutes later.... overall would rate 2.5 out of 5

Beautifully cooked steak and the garlic and chilli prawns were big and juicy, lovely little place x

Came here middle of last week with a few friends for a Birthday meal out. We really enjoyed ourselves. For me it was first time here. Would definately go back

Lovely food and service. As a family it's one of our favourite restaurants. Thankyou Central Park

I had the fajitas tonight it was lovely and a good portion size, i will definitely be ordering them again, service was really good, my order was ready when they said it would be, staff were lovely and very polite, i would highly recommend.

Refused a table at 8.30pm .waitresses looked me and the wife up and down and said stop serving food. Shocking. Business must be good.

Food was nice, however its a small room and you feel like you are claustrophobic , this made me uncomfortable.

Despite an incredibly busy night the staff were calm, efficient and very helpful.

Nice food - Menu a mix of Italian and other kitchen - not made to feel welcome trying to get food on a Satur at 9.15 pm seemed to be too much to ask of the fro t of house

Been twice now food good but each time we have been and asked for fillet steak they don’t have any. Told each time sold out well why don’t they buy enough.

Have been using central park since it opened and can honestly say we have never had a bad meal. The food is five star and the staff are outstanding

Gorgeous food and fast service, will be back.

We visited 2 weeks ago. Food wasn't anything spectacular but it was very reasonable priced.

Great food, great staff, great eating experience

Great food, great professional service. Angela works like a trooper, is very well organised and friendly... so she deserves a special mention.

Great service and the food amazing!!! 👌 Service is fantastic

The food was absolutely lovely, the prices were really good too. The staff however seemed to be timed on how quickly they could get you finished and out. There were pen taps while waiting to take orders, the plates were taken while you were still chewing your last mouthful, the bill was brought while my child was still eating pudding, the card machine very quickly followed, I commented about the rushing and was ignored. I would recommend for food and prices however not for staff or service.

Food really nice but , place was overly noisy with loud customers.

Really nice place to visit came for my sons birthday Really enjoy it lovely place to visit we'll organised very friendly staff very tasty food would recommend 😋

Central Park Redcar is a hidden gem of a place in Teesside. The food is excellent, the staff and owners are wonderful and the resteraunt atmosphere is the envy of the town. Another great family night out last night but if you fancy something more intimate they will get you a table in the corner and you will not be disappointed. Our whole family love this place and are over the moon it is still here after the lochdown….

Love the food and the atmosphere - great night as always!

Amazing place Amazing food Amazing staff 10/0

very good food & quick service. reasonably priced too. really good chicken parmo would definitely recommend

Excellent food & service everytime. Steaks are fat, juicy & tender. Amazing food!

I visited Central Park last night with my family for a Birthday meal, this is not my first time to this restaurant and ever single time I come, the quality of the food is of a high standard each time. Very quick table service, great and friendly staff, the chef is great. Hats off to you all and I can't wait to come back again for ANOTHER gorgeous steak. In relation to people saying this is not Covid safe, I seen every member of staff working hard to ensure tables were cleaned as soon as customers had finished and left; including all the seating areas, the tables are separated, there's glass partitions, there were hand sanitizers, menus were all taken away and binned once used, all the staff wore proper PPE, we weren't allowed to stand at the bar for drinks it was all served to our table. I am not quite sure what more they're meant to do. If people are that bothered about Covid, don't be eating out and trying to Tarnish a hard working business!

Visited recently with family. Very good service and very reasonably priced. We had a few starters to share all very good. Been a parmo virgin i decided it was time to take the plunge. Everyone enjoyed the food although i dont think parmo is for me. Owner popped out a few times for a chat. Very funny man. Worth a visit if in redcar.

Lasagne had far to much tomato in, all you could taste was tomato it just overpowered everything else.

Absolutely amazing food and service it’s the best restaurant in town, they bend over backwards to accommodate. All the staff adhering to regulations regarding Covid, they were extremely professional and ensured all of the customers were seated safely. I don’t think anyone could question the professionalism and integrity of these guys, they always putting the customers first. Well done guys for being so amazing during such a testing time 5*

Not impressed. Food rather expensive - all dips and sauces are extra. Example: a surcharge for jalapenos.. it soon adds up.. Really soggy chips. Impossible to hold a conversation due to loud music (who even remembers Jamiroquai ?) and loud, echoey nature of room. Positives: Portion sizes quite large. Food arrived very quickly, and service was decent enough.

I use to work at Central Park when I was 18. I now live down south and on a recent summer visit my family and I went for dinner on a Thursday at 6pm. We booked a table for 7 people including 2 children aged 9 and 12. The food is still very good value for money and delicious. My children had main meals from the main menus and found them filling. We ordered 4 steaks, 2 fillets and 2 sirloins, all cooked perfectly. The restaurant was busy and service was good.

Always top food lovely staff 5 *****

Great food, great service and good value for money.

Date of visit 14th August 2020Came for a meal with a booking of 4 people, arrived and let the staff know we had arrived and then was asked to wait outside, once our table was ready we were shown to it, although bare with no condiments and cutlery I completely understand why and what measures the staff go to in the fight against Covid, all staff wore masks and had little bottles of sanitisers clipped to their aprons which was a nice touch. Normally we have starters but we all decided just to go for a main meal tonight, I had a fillet steak which was cooked perfectly and tasted out of this world accompanied with a side of pepper sauce. Although staff do their utmost to comply to social distancing unfortunately some customers don’t, I heard a member of staff twice ask customers to please return to their own table as free movement wasn’t allowed around the restaurant . Well done staff for doing your best in these difficult times

Food came out quick and was hot, very nice. Tables were separated to maintain social distancing and all staff members were wearing masks and ensured safety measures were kept too. Regards to a feedback comment left on here by someone who said that there was no social distancing, no mask wearing etc I was sat next to their table when this occurred and their behaviour towards a member of staff was disgusting as they got in her face. Would not pay attention to their review, everything was perfect apart from that rude party.

We came to Central Park and we were sat around the bar area near open doors and immediately noticed the extra efforts the restaurant had taken to make customers feel safe. Each member of staff was wearing a mask and had hand sanitizer on them and there was also sanitizer placed on the main service desk. The food was great, we got both a starter and a main, well priced and all in all we felt safe and protected. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will be coming back soon!

Gorgeous food service excellent 👌
