Sprig + Fern The Meadows
Offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere Nick and Vicki Rose, owners of Sprig + Fern The Meadows, take great pride in the family-type environment they have created at their establishment. Nestled in the heart of Richmond’s newest development, Sprig + Fern The Meadows provide delicious gourmet pizzas, and mouthwateringly tasty bar snacks, along with the range of award-winning Sprig + Fern brews.
Located at the new complex since 2021, the couple has had the unique opportunity to see the community grow from strength to strength. “We have really enjoyed watching it evolve and get busier by the day. Our location is fantastic and I think we complement the surrounding businesses really well.”
Jumping at the opportunity to launch the tavern, Sprig + Fern The Meadows has become a hub for locals, and the perfect meeting place to catch up with friends.
“Seeing returning customers is a huge highlight for us,” says Vicki. “And getting to know the regulars really well. We welcome people in as if they are family because that’s how we greet people when they come into our home. Five of our staff are family members, and that’s the type of vibe we want to encourage here.” Nick adds that the strength of the business is in the quality of the staff that they have. “We treat everyone like family.” The extent of their all-inclusive atmosphere is plain to see with the myriad of plants even having individual names and the well-regarded photo-wall where punters delight in seeing their beloved pooches made famous.
Launching new tap beers on a regular basis, their newest addition comes in the form of a premium lager. The Hum Zinger Premium Lager with Root Ginger is a limited release 5.0% beer with freshly ground root ginger adding a zinginess to its premium lager base, leaving an ‘unmistakable first impression’.
Clean and refreshing, bold and balanced. It finishes with a feisty ginger kick to the tastebuds. For Nick, the Summer Chill Hazy is a winner with its fruity, citrus medley of hops, but for Vicki it’s the Grown Up Lemonade, that takes the cake. It is a Vodka-based lemonade for ‘grown-ups only’ that pairs quite nicely with a topping of ginger beer says Vicki.
Making a comeback to the events calendar, the couple are excited to be launching the new season of regular quiz nights once again. Kicking off in March, every Tuesday night will see the fundraising event raise significant proceeds for local charities and good causes. “One hundred percent of the table and raffle fees goes to the selected cause. We take expressions of interest from any not-for-profit organisation that would like to be involved.”
