A host of stars offered their support to the revived Anchor Inn in Ham Green when it opened its doors.

Mezze Restaurants officially opened the pub and restaurant on May 4, following a series of pre-launch nights for residents and a VIP night supported by comedian Eddie Large, Heart Radio presenter Paulina Gillespi and BBC West weathergirl Gemma Cooper.

Owner Alex Tryfonos said he hoped the pub’s £350,000 transformation into Mezze Restaurants would reinstate its position as the hub of the community.
