Olympic gymnast Imogen Cairns, stars from Bristol City FC and comedian Eddie Large were just a few star guests at the offical launch of the Mezze at The White Lion in Portishead.

The restaurant was most recently known as the White Lion pub, and had been derelict since 2010 awaiting a new lease of life. Mezze has given the venue a complete revamp with a £1.6million makeover, creating a new heated roof top terrace, Mediterranean gardens, a cocktail bar, mezze restaurant and à la carte restaurant.
