A couple known for British-style pub venues open a new restaurant in Richmond with The Flying Fox, according to multiple outlets. The announcement follows their earlier venue, the Lion & Wombat in St Kilda. All three sources describe The Flying Fox as a cosy, intimate pub setting. The menu is framed around British pub classics and comfort food, including pies and Welsh rarebit, with the rarebit served in a doughnut form. The venues also feature sport on the television, suggesting the pub is set up for viewing games alongside dining. While the articles focus mainly on the feel of the space and the food highlights, they consistently present the opening as the latest step by the same pair in expanding their British pub concept across Melbourne. Across the coverage, the new Richmond site is positioned as a continuation of the couple’s established approach, combining a snug atmosphere with pub-style dishes and televised sport.
