This festive season, join us at The General Food Store for our special Mezze Nights dinner series.

Every Friday and Saturday evening from 5pm, we open our doors to welcome you for an unforgettable dining experience celebrating the rich and diverse flavours of the broader Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions — inspired by Dougie’s recent travels abroad. Mezze is a vibrant array of small dishes designed for sharing, savouring, and celebrating with friends, family, or colleagues in a warm, relaxed setting.

Whether you’re looking to get into the festive spirit early or gather your nearest and dearest to celebrate before Christmas, Mezze Nights at The General Food Store offer the perfect occasion with relaxed hospitality and bold, seasonal flavours. Bookings are essential — reserve your spot online today and make your festive celebrations truly special. We look forward to sharing the taste of mezze with you soon.
