❤️ A FAREWELL FOR NOW, BUT HOPEFULLY NOT GOODBYE… ❤️
Dear Mezze Family,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce Mezze Downend will be closing its doors on Sunday, 8th November 2026, after nearly 17 wonderful years.
This has been one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make.
For almost 17 years, Mezze Downend has been so much more than just a restaurant. It’s been a place where families have come together, friendships have been made, birthdays and anniversaries have been celebrated, and countless memories have been created.
We’ve watched children grow up, return as adults, and even bring their own children through our doors. We’ve shared your celebrations, your special occasions, and sometimes even your difficult moments. You’ve allowed us to become a small part of your lives, and for that, we will always be grateful.
Unfortunately, the past few years have brought enormous challenges. With rising costs, increasing bills, and the pressures of running a hospitality business, we’ve reached a point where continuing at our current location is simply no longer sustainable.
Believe us when we say that we have tried everything we could to keep going. Walking away from something we’ve put so much love, hard work and passion into is heartbreaking.
But this is not necessarily the end of the Mezze story in Downend! ❤️
We are already actively looking for a smaller, more suitable location in or around Downend, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to welcome you back sometime next year.
For now, though, we have one final wish…
We would love to see you all one more time! 🥂
Whether you’ve been visiting us for 17 years, haven’t been in for a while, or have always meant to give us a try, we’d love to welcome you through our doors one last time.
Come and enjoy your favourite mezzes, raise a glass with us, share a few memories, and help us make these final weeks something truly special.
Let’s make our last few weeks at Mezze Downend unforgettable!
Our doors will remain open until Sunday, 8th November, and we hope to see as many familiar faces as possible before we say farewell to this location.
To our incredible team, past and present, thank you for your dedication, loyalty and hard work. And to every single customer who has supported us over the years, thank you for making this journey possible.
We may be closing this chapter, but we’re not ready to close the book.
It’s not goodbye… it’s hopefully just see you soon. ❤️
With love and gratitude,
Mario & the entire Mezze Team
❤️ Nearly 17 years of memories. One last Mezze experience. Let’s make it special! ❤️
