Welcome to The Lingdale Tavern, a place where tradition meets innovation, and community comes first. Our mission is simple: to create a welcoming space that brings people together, fostering connections and supporting local growth. Located in the charming village of Lingdale, East Cleveland, The Lingdale Tavern is more than just a pub—it’s a vibrant community hub offering a blend of social, educational, and recreational opportunities for everyone.
Our Story
Born from a desire to revitalise one of the main feature buildings of the village and provide a space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together, The Lingdale Tavern represents a new chapter in the history of this historic building. Under the ownership of Daniel Johns and Princewill Obeni, we have lovingly restored this local landmark into a multi-faceted venue that serves the entire community through charitable ventures and events.
Whether it’s through our delicious meals in the bar and restaurant, a morning coffee in our cozy café, or engaging activities in the community hub, The Lingdale Tavern is here to create a space that feels like home for all who visit.
