FREDDIE WIMPOLES OPENS IN ST KILDA

The highly anticipated Freddie Wimpoles is now open for business. Following a takeover from the iconic George Hotel, the name has been changed in honour of the original owner, Frederick Wimpole. The St Kilda venue is set to become a craft-beer destination of choice on Melbourne’s south side with 13 rotating taps and a warm hunting-lodge meets neon-light American diner feel. Coming from The Local Taphouse, Wayne Seberry has taken over the kitchen at Freddie Wimpoles. Seberry took a break as a chef after finishing at The Local Taphouse in January 2015 and has been at Woodfrog Bakery until now. As an avid craft beer lover, Sebbery jumped at the opportunity to join the team. His experience in craft beer pubs all over the world worked perfectly in creating the Freddie Wimpoles menu, which focuses on sub sandwiches, hot dogs and pickled snacks – faultless beer drinking food. All meats, stocks and sauces are made in-house and bread is delivered daily from Bakery Lievito.

All ‘subs’ on the menu are matched with a tap beer on rotation; the food is unpretentious, celebrating old-school flavours. The classic Ruben with corned beef, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing is matched with 4 Pines Kolsch, with the lightness of the Germen Ale breaking the richness of corned beef and mustard. The Traditional French Dip sub with roast beef, horseradish and beef juice for dipping is matched with the 2 Brothers Growler, a match made in heaven with complementing hearty flavours.

MISS SAIGON TO OPEN AT BOX HILL CENTRAL

Pho

Box Hill Central is home to a huge array of authentic, traditional and beautifully delicious Asian cuisines, and will soon open its doors to a brand new Vietnamese pho eatery Miss Saigon.  With the wintery months ahead, Melburnian’s favourite Vietnamese noodle soup is just around the corner, with the new menu boasting traditional favourites like Pho Thai Wagyu – Sliced Rare Wagyu Beef in a rich Vietnamese broth and Pho Ga Dac Biet – Special Chicken Combination Noodle Soup. Delectable dishes mostly under $14 include traditional Vietnamese pho with flavours like 24 hours slow boiled marrow rich beef bones and ox tail coming together to create an experience to transport you to the streets of Vietnam.
 
Alongside the traditional favourites are perfect lunch options for the busy corporate folk around the centre like Rice Paper Rolls paired with authentic iced drinks like Iced Longan and Iced Lychee drinks.

An exciting new gem to add to the huge list of authentic, bustling restaurants at Box Hill Central that locals will flock to, reminiscent of Ho Chi Minh City and it’s vibrant atmosphere, opening in the South Precinct of Box Hill Central.

The brand new eatery will be home to traditional and authentic Vietnamese meals but the interior will house modern, sleek design and be located in Melbourne’s biggest Eastern fresh fruit and produce market in the heart of the suburbs at Box Hill Central.
