The Lloyd House Social is more than a pub to us. It is a living piece of Mount Albert’s history, and now, part of our family’s story.

Built in 1885, this beautiful building has stood at the heart of the town for generations and has been officially recognized as a heritage property. From the original trim and door handles to the character and craftsmanship that cannot be recreated, the charm of the Lloyd House has been carefully preserved. For many years, it was one of the busiest and most cherished pubs in Mount Albert, a place where locals gathered, friendships were formed, and memories were made.

​

At the center of the space sits our bar top, crafted from one of the oldest trees to fall in Mount Albert. The wood was thoughtfully cut, restored, and finished with epoxy, turning something rooted in this town into a permanent part of its gathering place. It is a small but meaningful symbol of our commitment to honoring what came before while building something lasting for the future.

 

Our family has spent years in the restaurant industry, with hands on experience in ownership and day to day operations. Hospitality is something we grew up with. We learned early on that a great restaurant is not just about food and drinks, but about people, relationships, and creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Taking on the Lloyd House Social is not just a business for us, it is a responsibility we take to heart.

 

We are incredibly grateful to the town of Mount Albert for the warm welcome, trust, and openness to change, while still holding us accountable to the history and heritage of this building. Your support has meant more to our family than words can express, and it has reinforced our belief that the Lloyd House belongs to the community as much as it does to us.

 

Our goal is simple. We want to bring the Lloyd House back to what it has always been, a place that feels like home. Somewhere to share laughs, stories, pints, and good food. A place where old memories are remembered and new ones are created.

Thank you for allowing our family to be part of this town’s history. We are proud to carry the Lloyd House forward, with respect for its past and excitement for what lies ahead.

 

Welcome to the Lloyd House Social.
